Dam near fugged off my studio time today watchin the coverage of MJ, cause for a minute I didnt even wanna go. I grew up on dude and his music. I was born in 75' so I remember when Thriller came out, I remember when Motown 25 came on TV and I was sittin there watchin that show like a million other people were. Couldnt wait to get to school the next day, EVERYBODY was doing the "moonwalk" Til' this day when I see him pop/dance, when I see him do that moonwalk, I'm still amazed. I got all the Jackson 5 shit on my iPod, for yall that dont remember the 80's, Mike was Da MAN, Period. So those of you that were born in 88' and after, he didnt have that IMPACT that he had on us kids in the 80's. Not saying that there is no impact at all, cause there is. We can see that by all the posts made on this thread and the over 200 that are in the open Forum. I'm talkin when Mike was at the TOP, When he was the end all, the supreme one. Muthafuccas is spoiled, with MTV Jams, and those of us who remember Yo MTV raps, there was a time when MTV didnt play NOTHIN by no BLACK PEOPLE!! Mike was the first!!! Mike made it possible for alot of what we see in the media today. You can play Mike J all day and it will be hit after hit after hit. For us, he was our superstar, more than a superstar. What we call superstars today is NOTHIN compared to him in his day. ANYWHERE in the WORLD, he was loved, could sell out wherever he went. Say what you wanna say about his court cases and his ALLEGED touching on lil boys. He settled out of court on one, and the other he was aquitted. SO there was never no guilty verdict. Not saying that I condone his behavior, or some of the decisions that he made, but talking legally he was innocent, so muthafuccas should leave it at that, instead of still speculation on the man after his death. Thats that uncle tom house nigga shit. The media ALWAYS finds a muthafucca to talk bad on someone, and you see that shit here even on the "Siccness" which is supposed to be a "gangsta Rap, fuck the system and authority" type web site, but then you get these self righteous holier than thou muthafuccas who pass judgement one post and in the next talk about some shit that contradicts the previous posting. The site where muthafuccas listen to killing filled, murder inspired, gangsta music all day, and then when one othey fave rappers get murked, then they be on some kum by yah humble, lets all get along shit. Let Mike Rest In Peace, Let Mac Dre Rest In Peace, Seagram, Hitman, Mister C, and any other person that went before thier time rest without all the bullshit. Shit how do we know it aint they time, when Allah (GOD) calls you back, well then it is what it is, you gotta go.....
