Hmm... Michael Jackson Much?

Yo. I know I am late, and some are very very very sick about hearing about Michael Jackson and his death, his issues, conspiracy theories, and the 24/7 "breaking news" on silly possible facts like if MJ was buried where, his doctor, etc.

I just had to say my thought on that, because obviously... It spread to IMVU:

I respect MJ in the sense of what he did for music. He broke down a ton of barriers for a lot of artists to this day; whether "Black or White" (ha). Same for dancing. I might not be a dancer, but I can appreciate that. Just look at how many people mimic MJ's style of dancing, that speaks for itself. But, for me, that is where the respect is dropped.

I am far from a celebrity, and I understand a celebrity of his magnitude was bound to have bad press regardless. To me, the bad press he received on a certain subject... happened too often. I do not think that many people were out to get him, including his own friends and staff, but that's just my thought. I would not call him this or that, but com'on now.

Similar to 9/11 (I know, I am not comparing MJ dying to 9/11...), after it is all said and done, many people become really supportive. I think a better example is Pimp C of UGK. Many people did not even know of Pimp C until Bun B got mainstream and hit the mixtape circuit hard talking about "Free Pimp C!". Hell, a lot of people had no clue what UGK stood for or who it was composed of. But, once Pimp C died, you see a lot of little shXts talking 'bout RIP Pimp C when they knew nothing of Pimp C, or UGK for that matter. Now, it would be stupid to say people did not know of Michael Jackson... but, all these supporters were not this forward about being fans till he died. I compared it to the 9/11 thing in the sense that after 9/11 occurred, that's when everyone had a damn American flag. Nothing wrong with that, but why does it take hundreds of deaths for you to be patriotic? Why does it take MJ dying for you to rep him so hard? I guess the saying is true: "You are not truly somebody, until you are some body."

PS: I don't rock repeatedly accused possibly child molesters on my chest, do you?

R.I.P. Michael Jackson
