    Really good interview. Can you imagine how many DAT tapes there are with all of those unique sounds that were collected for MJ? I lived in Orlando during the time Shaq was with the Magic. He even had his own candy bar. God is always above all. True.

    thank you for bringing this Michael lore I obsess over out for the masses . MJ WAS A CRIP!!! LOOK up the song BLUE GANGSTA!
    also the smooth criminal vocal tracks are god level beatboxing .
    and pharrell ended up giving that track to Justin Timberlake "rock your body" which is definitely very off the wall mj.
    MICHAEL WANTED THAT NEW HEAT THO!!! LOL

    I wish he would've asked if the rumors are true that he documented the complete "Invincible" sessions... Because Michael asked him to film it so he could create a documentary... But I don't know if that is true or not...

    25:02 That picture cannot be legitimate. Biggie Smalls was a known emcee between 1992 and 1997. MJ did not look like that after 1985, when Biggie was 13 years old.
    That 🍉 watermelon must've been delicious af tho. Biggie would've loved it with a t-bone steak, cheese, eggs, and 🧃 Welch's grape. 🤣

    You cant compare singers with rappers. Singers main assets are their vocals. Not their lyrics. Whereas, rappers main assets are their lyrics and voices. If you are a rapper who has songwriters, you are just a recording artist and a halfa*** rapper like Eazy E, Drake, Nas, and anyone else who has others writing their lyrics. Yep, J Electronica wrote for Nas.

    • @therealist33777
      @therealist33777 2 місяці тому +2

      He never wrote verses for Nas. He wrote hooks and provided song concepts. That’s not ghostwriting, and verging on blasphemy including Nas in any lyrical category with Fraudry Graham. Stop this now, please

    • @dianevrules
      @dianevrules Місяць тому

      @@therealist33777 Jay Electronica wrote Queens Get The Money, etc, in its entirety. Go to BMI, ASCAP, or Library of Congres's websites and punch in Jones, Nasir. Then start crying. Because your bs Nas is nothing but a half&&& rapper who dont write his own s(((.
