u got a star like michael why not just let him try and if he fuks up you win either way

he didn't want to give up that producer/songwriting credit and royalties. When you just "sing" the songs, the only real money you get is your show money. And even then, Gordy had a hand in that. All the money spent on your album comes out of your portion of the records sales so you really don't make shyt from the album sales considering promotion, videos, producer and songwriter fees, etc. come out of YOUR cut.

If you aren't writing and making your own shyt, you better be touring like a mufukka. Ownership is key, Michael learned that going solo. Dude was an incredible businessman.
