RIP MJ THE REVOLUTIONARY


A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to post this MJ video because it was one of my favorites. I really think that "They Dont Care About Us" captures the true essence of hip hop more than any of these Dirty South one hit wonders being churned out by the industry desperate to make $ on the next big thing.

Truly, there will never be another artist like MJ. He got to such a level where he could use music to just transcend industry limits. He wanted to see people come together, to see beyond the foolish boundaries of that we impose on one another here in America. He made music that made you feel, that made you think, and that made you dance. MJ took all that energy and produced classic, timeless music.

I like the MJ knockoffs the industry has produced, but lets face it, Ne-Yo, Ginuwine, Tyrese, Usher and Chris Brown will never get to that level. The industry will never have that experience that MJ gave it.

So, originally, why didnt I post the video. Because I had that feeling that everybody had before MJ died. He's just kinda, well, you know. Attach any negative sentiment that you can to that. Its a trip why people are so into him now, but didnt give him a chance beforehand. Its messed up how people are like that.

MJ RIP........
