I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who forgot to cop my 3D glasses at the Target for the MJ tribute on Sunday. Actually now that going 3D is the new going green, I think I’m gonna buy a pair just to keep at the crib because you never know when you’ll need them.
ANYWAY, the tribute [...]
A little gem of music just dropped on the Internet last week, in the form of a collaboration between The Jackson Five and Stevie Wonder.

Much thanks for everybody who hit me up about this. From what I can imagine, this is the real official and promised Michael Jackson song, titled “This Is It,” which is set to drop with the movie and concert of the same name. All [...]

Unfortunately, I was not able to make it up to NYC this past weekend for not one, but two events celebrating birthday of Michael Jackson. While the Spike Lee event went on in Brooklyn, Q-Tip led an all star crew in Manhattan’s Nokia Theatre. With a lineup that included [...]
Michael Jackson is a musical genius. Those words are fact and will never be disputed. And of all the wonders that his genius unleashed upon the universe, none, to this author, may be more beautiful than his last major impactful sonic treatise, “Butterflies,” from 2001’s Invincible. At the time of Invincible’s release, it must be [...]
The Dangerous album was such a beautiful space in which Michael Jackson existed. He traveled the line of race & sexuality as America welcomed the ’90s: cross-colors & grunge, The Clintons & The Fresh Prince, gangsta rap & New Jack Swing, & the death of the cassette tape.
In February of 1992, Michael Jackson, with [...]

It would take a book of sizable portion to truly document the impact of Michael Jackson’s legacy. To quote a very astute and eloquent colleague, “Michael Jackson was not supposed to happen.”
You see, Michael Jackson was a deity. I do not offer that label without thought…in all honesty, people [...]
Maybe two weeks ago, I was cleaning out some boxes of old stuff at my parents’ house. In one of the boxes, I found all my old cassette tapes. When I pulled out Michael Jacson’s Dangerous, I had to stop a moment and reflect on how that album made me feel as a kid.

I’ve always had the feeling that Michael Jackson had no other option in life but to be Michael Jackson. That’s a lot of why he was the best to ever do this. I’d say he was Jackie [...]
RIP MJ
Its been a terrible week in the news. The deadliest crash in Metro history, Iran, Ed, Farrah…..and now MJ.
But out out of all of these tragedies, the death of Michael was the most devastating to me personally. Like many of you who read this site, I wore out the Thriller album, waited patently until [...]
Thought it’d be appropriate that we each do a little tribute for Micheal Jackson on here. Personally, I wasn’t old enough to remember him in his hay-day but I have to admit, despite that, I became a fan of his music. Got into it through, none other than, the original Thriller album (which really belonged [...]
Pop superstar Michael Jackson was acquitted of charges against him in his child molestation trail. Jackson was found not guilty of all 10 counts against him, including four counts of committing a lewd act with a child, and four counts of providing alcohol to a minor to facilitate child molestation.
Jackson, who has always pledged his [...]
