So we're acting like Michael Jackson didn't write Beat It now? I've yet to see another pop artist get their artistic contributions to THEIR OWN WORK get so eagerly questioned or dismissed this often.....

I wish Michael and Prince were here to celebrate the 40th anniversaries of Thriller and 1999 they were two 24 year old black men who broke down barriers and changed the way black artists were marketed and presented, especially rewriting the blueprint of the male popstar

I want MJ fans on this app to go back and look at the celebrities who distanced themselves from MJ in the mid 90s. It would save ya'll a lot of time instead of being shocked and upset when they talk about him. They're doing what they did when he was alive.
