First off, with DSTYGE it was a short instrumental in the middle which dude was PAID for. You gonna give someone songwriter credit for an instrumental arrangement? I will concede that it was kinda wack to change his mind.

It is DOCUMENTED that Michael came up with the demo for Billie Jean way before that Donna Summer song (of which Quincy produced and Michael sang backup... and they still don't sound alike). In fact, almost the entire melody was done before MJ brought the shyt to Quincy.

Again, if he supposedly stole so much and was so greedy, what does that say about him working on those songs and taking credit?

The internet thing is an excuse, hell yeah nikkas would be itching to blast him, particularly by the late 80s.

Please post the plenty of ppl you're referring to.

Dude, plenty of people helped craft all of those songs that Jackson took credit for from Louis Johnson to Rod Temperton and many others.

Listen to the records he wrote BEFORE he hooked up with Quincy for "Off The Wall" & "Thriller", none of those records were anywhere near good.

Then, listen to him anywhere after Quincy left.

He wrote NOTHING that great ever again.
What Quincy working with him after that says about him? It says that everybody used to do it at the time:yeshrug:.

Plenty of musicians up until Lauryn Hill used to have "ghostwriters" and people like Beyonce & Taylor Swift still do till this day.
