He bad, you know it

What is this madness?

The same media that mercilessly hounded Michael Jackson, that ridiculed him and contributed to all of the stress and mania in his life is now absolutely “torn apart” by his death
With 24/7 coverage of everything surrounding his untimely demise
Or maybe it’s just that they know the general public is heartbroken, and capitalizing on Jackson’s death is ratings gold

Such class

I really don’t understand why people are so interested in learning every detail of the man's death, his state of health at the time including his weight and the dosages of which prescription drugs he took and tons of other things in this area
I have refused to give any of this coverage my attention so I can’t really elaborate anymore

(and this memorial going on at the staples center is just weird to me, and a little awkward just a bunch of randos standing on stage and singing his songs....they should have just all shut the fuck up and played his music and videos)

Why can’t people just reflect on his talent? Focusing only on the art that he was so devoted to and respectfully leaving his children alone even if they weren’t biologically his
It ain’t yo business sucka so stay out of it

A couple months ago while in Egypt, I listened to some of his older stuff (my bf had tons of his music) and I remember thinking to myself: wow dude, this guy truly is amazing (adding that he just went a little nutso as of late, you can safely say that fame does that to people, and he more than anyone else had to deal with this insane super-intense fame)
But anyway,
No one can touch Michael Jackson at his peak, he was genius and mad cool
Even in Jackson 5 tracks you could hear this blaring voice coming from this tiny little thing, he just had so much soul
And I think his death touched a nerve with people just because he was this milestone in a lot of people’s lives
I think he was one of the first black men that the white community really embraced
White Americans wanted to BE him, they wanted to sing and dance like him, dress like him and do everything he did (except maybe chill with Madonna…blecch)
Everybody wanted to be like Mike
I can’t think of any black man before that time that you could say that about
Of course, after that it was pretty common for white teenagers to run around and pretend to be black

I can’t truly say I feel sad at his passing, it is tragic that his children are now father-less, and that he didn’t get to tour one last time, I think it would have done him a lot of good to get back into performing
But really he was troubled, and he led a difficult existence even as a child


So rest in peace baby, your unquestionable talent will truly be missed
