ain't but really maybe 25-50 acts tops in the history of Pop music got let alone 1 classic let alone 2 classics.

that word is thrown around a whole lot like genius, let me tell you something after "off the wall and thriller what else did Michael Jackson really have to do again as a Artist? please do tell??

i mean when you make an artistic statement and he totally flipped his thing from his days as a kid act on Motown.

you see you sound like those half baked turkeys who either write for rolling stone or ain't understood what an impact truly meant and you don't need to make 99 albums or Produce all of the music.

FYI MJ was a Producer alongside Quincy Jones, and FYI most of the Big songs on Off the wall and thriller were from MJ.

its cool if you are self contained, however it doesn't make it all better. and FYI you still gotta deal with the record label saying that track works and that one doesn't etc..


interesting story about Prince when he turned in Purple rain for the film, the director said oh that is cool what you got, but where is the money track? and then Prince brought out "When doves cry". you gotta have the songs.

Prince had hits but it wasn't like he had a decade run. more like a good 5-6 year run of his Prime and Peak.

ain't nobody but die hARDS Sweating over his 90's til now stuff.

MJ with dangerous and History was better than prince's run over the past 20 plus years and that ain't saying a whole lot because MJ settled for scraps but he still could bring a hit.

MJ is far more impressive because not only did he learn from Berry Gordy, but then to Gamble and Huff to Quincy Jones. that is heavy weight stuff there and that is growth and a Artistic statement.

mighty funny Gordy, Gamble and Huff and Quincy Jones worked with a whole of Male Artists, but no one else matched what MJ did,now explain that away?

Prince is a Smart Hybrid cat and he had the right ears and eyes around him at the right time. he got over at the right time and he connected.

however to me MJ got it right far more often and he took chances.

ain't no way in the world 30-35 years ago would any head of a record company would have green lighted Michael Jackson working with Quincy Jones. if it didn't work they would have been the two biggest jokes on the musical planet.

that was a risk if there ever was one and alot of people laughed at MJ, but MJ always was one step around the corner.
