Michael Jackson
MJ…by DJ Dredd
MJ is one of the reasons why I was drawn to music at an early age. As a child growing up in the 70′s I couldn’t escape his music. I remember realizing at some point that the man singing on “Blame it on the Boogie” was the same small child singing “ABC,” and it blew [...]
Michael Jackson: A Fashion Icon
My memories of MJ are as fond as the next fans. His music was magical, even to the ears of a child. It spoke to all races and cultures. And when he died; for just a brief moment it felt as though the whole world came to a simultaneous stop to mourn a man who [...]
Michael Jackson: Music & Me
On June 25, 2009 I was on my way to New York for the Hip-Hop Association’s Womanhood Passage Fundraiser, a special evening acknowledging contributions of women in hip-hop. As I pulled into the city, I was lazily scrolling through my e-mails when my heart caught a fire–in all caps, the subject line read: MJ DEAD. [...]

In celebration of the Michael Jackson’s birthday, Couch Sessions writers are taking time to reflect on their first memories of the King of Pop. Michael would’ve turned 52 this year.

Michael Jackson Memories
In celebration of the Michael Jackson’s birthday, Couch Sessions writers are taking time off to reflect on their first memories of the King of Pop. Michael would’ve turned 52 this year. My first memory of Michael Jackson goes way back to 1983 when the Thriller album was released. I was only 7 years old at [...]
Forever, Michael
I guess you could say that, Michael and I go way back like penny candies and Tahitian Treat…I grew up in a musical household my mother would play records daily –during chores, when she was entertaining friends, or just because. My very first memory of Michael involves me in a frilly dress, singing Jackson 5’s [...]
In Case You Missed It: Michael Jackson – Pretty Young Thing (Demo) (U-Tern edit)
Usually there’s a pretty valid reason why a ‘demo’ version of a song doesn’t make the final cut of an album and therefore remains just a demo. But after hearing this demo version of Michael Jackson’s “Pretty Young Thing”, I couldn’t help but think of what a tough of decision it must of been to [...]
VIDEO: Chris Brown at the BET Awards. What Did Y’all Think?
I’m no Chris Brown apologist. As my homie Benhameen put it, if either one of us were to beat up our girlfriends, we would not be performing on the BET Awards, nor will we be having fans screaming to give us a “second chance” all over Twitter. But I digress. In fact, I’m glad that [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
