ok so there are a lot of artists and a lot of songs that mention michael or refer to michael in some way, and i want to know what you've heard!!

BUT of course we don't want any of the songs that are derogatory in any way towards MJ because obviously there are many that refer to him in a negative light. for example, Eminem with Just Lose It. don't want any of that kind of stuff here. it's either got to be positive or neutral





so this is what i have so far:


Estelle ft Kanye West - American Boy

"And I know you're not into all that.
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit.
But I still talk that cash
Cuz a lot wacks want to hear it.

And I'm feelin like Mike at his Baddest
The Pips at they Gladys.
And I know they love it.
so to hell with all that rubbish

Would you be my love, my love.
could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy"



Kanye West - Slow Jamz

" She be grabbing, calling me Biggie like Shine home
Man, I swear she fine homes
Why she always lying though
Telling me them diamonds when she know they rhinestones
She got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
Got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
I play 'Ready for the World' - she was ready for some action
My dawg said you ain't no freak, so you got to prove my man wrong
I'm a play this Vandross
You're gonna take your pants off
I'm gonna play this Gladys Knight
Me and you're gonna get right"


Kanye West - Hey Mama

" You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me a curl
And you never put no man over me"



yeah, so all i got so far is kanye west. i'm sure there's tons more!
 
oh here's another one NOT by kanye west lol

ben folds - rockin' the suburbs

" I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Michael Jackson did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented"
 
..I thought i noticed in that song Estelle ft Kanye West - American Boy that they mentioned Michael Jackson. I :wub: that song.

and another one!

busted - year 3000

"I took a trip to the year 3000
this song had gone multi-platinum
everybody bought our seventh album
it had outsold Michael Jackson
I took a trip to the year 3000
this song had gone multi-platinum
everybody bought our seventh album"

psh they wish. and yes this is the same song that the jonas brothers redid, except they changed michael jackson to kelly clarkson. they had more realistic goals.

and in the video for this song by busted there's an animated michael jackson when they sing that part lol
 
oh and who could forget do the bartman from the simpsons?!!

in the song bart says "if you can do the bart, your bad like Michael Jackson"
and at the end he says "eat your heart out, Michael!"

which is double funny because MJ wrote and produced 'do the bartman' :D
 
MJ's pop cult references must be in their thousands, and i've lost count of the times i've heard the shout-outs in Hip-Hop tunes alone.
 
From DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince Ring My Bell

''So when things get a little to much to bare like the Jackson 5 i'll be there''

Cool thread Sarah ;)

I remember Missy Elliot in her song Pass that dutch mentioned to Michael (sorry for the bad words)

Misdemeanor on the flow, pretty boy here I come
Pumps in the bunk make you wanna hurt something
I can take your man I don't have to sex em
Hang em out the window call me Micheal Jackson (hehehee!)
I'm a pain in your rectum, I am that bitch y'all slept on
Heavy hitter, rhyme spitter, call me Re-Run
Hey hey hey, I'm what's happ'nin
Hypnotic in my drink (that's right!)
Shake ya ass till it stink (that's right!)
Mr. Mos' on the beat (that's right!)
Put it down for the streets (that's right!)
 
Zone Out-Nas ft.Bravehearts

G-O-D S-O-N I S-O-O-T-H-E a female's estrogen
With my testosterone, male hormone
Enough for a giant's body, science S-C-I-E-N-C-E
Don't tempt me, EMS against you, me I'm just, invincible
Like Mike Jack said, for me and Al Sharpton won't be Broke in Harlem​
 
I don't remember the name, but there was a song by Mystikal that says "...bad like Michael"
 
Kanye mentions MJ in his lyrics a lot, I noticed..he is indeed a huge fan!!
