This really shows how lazy the Estate is when it comes to projects and breaks LA Reid's narrative of how Xscape was produced. It seems more like "let's recycle everything that got dropped from the previous project" rather than "choosing between 24 tracks".
Y'know, if it wasn't for the backlash the estate got for releasing the Cascio tracks, they'd definitely put more of them on Xscape or in other future projects lol.
Rocker is now my most wanted.
Xscape is legit 6 discarded tracks from Michael, that's wild. Also, TYLA COULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED ALREADY, BUT THEY PICKED F A K E T R A C K S INSTEAD.
It's for the best. It wouldn't have gotten the charge it deserved.
Not necessarily. L.A. Reid might've been able to see the 24 tracks, but the Estate might not have shown him more. It's a glamorous image, but it's probably just less complicated. Not the "vault", but a single box from the vault.
The quote was attributed to him by other sources. Not saying he said it, but the Detail didn't come up with that. So again, I'm failing to see the problem with them. But whatever.
So you'd rather hear the soundtrack for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory over actual MJ outtakes and demoes?
you know, chances are less than zero that this useless estate will ever release this song.
He's also not counting songs they did want but didn't have access to, like the Will.I.Am tunes for Michael, and Chicago 1945 for Xscape. They considered more songs, they explicitly worked on (reworked) just these few. And we've heard most of the versions they did work on.
I won’t call them worthless but you are probably right they may never release it or anything else. I’m all for leaks and if they do eventually release the leaks, I will purchase them. The problem is that there is not much revenue in releasing music. Todays artists make all their money in touring. That’s why they charge $350 a ticket. Streaming has killed the music industry in my opinion.
It is hard to believe it. What are the chances he'd pick all the discarded tracks exactly, plus another random one (Loving You)?
surprised to see Xscape with Tupac is real, thought its just a rumor lol
I wish we had more info on Loving You. One of my favorite unreleased songs
Because he has got nothing to do with Michael. He should never be allowed anywhere near Michael’s music.
He is literally the most listened to artist on Spotify.
Of course the estate told him (or recommended) what tracks to pick. That's not the same as saying Reid was just there for name recognition.
So what?
That version is the 2008 mix. According to Damien the 2010 version remains faithful to the original and if that's the case, I wish we got that version instead of the auditive abomination that is the Stargate remix.
I don't mind it myself, but I much prefer the original.
death penalty tbh
You should be crucified.
People should be crucified for liking Timbaland's remix of DYKWYCA. That's just atrocious.
@Mister_Jay_Tee They're talking about you bro, I wouldn't let that slide.
Think about him what you want - I am not a fan myself - but JB is HUGE amongst youngsters. - And there is no denying JB has made some bangers. He has an ear for a hit and a great beat.
