so this has always been my absolute favorite picture of michael jackson. and considering that he passed away today, its only right that i do a post in tribute to him. i wont sit here and bullshit like i'm the biggest mike fan on the planet, but i do bump Off The Wall and Thriller quite frequently, and i fucked with Butterflies. sitting here writing this as i listen to off the wall just made me realize the musical genius that he truly was. and i feel like he's a entertainment genius because, he wasnt just a pop icon, he wasnt just a singer, he wasnt just a dancer, he was an entertainer. he taught everyone how it should be done. ask any contemporary "entertainer" and whenever they talk about influences michael is almost always the first name out of their mouths. he was the first to sell out arenas(as a black artist), he was the first to create the mini movie music video (smooth criminal, thriller, yu rock my world, the list goes on), the first to get mike jordan in a vid doin mike jackson moves, and certainly one of the only to get spizzike to direct a music vid. he was a pioneer in everything he touched. he was the king midas of popular music. no one's ever gonna be able to touch him.Michael Joseph Jackson, may you rest in peace.
