"where is your diss track about mj"

*EMINEM*

"but when it comes to talent-wise there's too much respect that
i have for him"
"i talk all the time in my songs about being chased by the
papparazzi and people making fun of me cuz they don't
understand who i really am"
"and if there's anybody who has had it worse than me it's
michael jackson"
"so that's one of the main reason's i didn't come back with a
diss song against michael jackson"
"i mean i mention the neverland ranch a few times on encore
but i don't take it too far"
"plus, he's the biggest star in the planet"

"but my i love his attitude"
"he doesn't give a damn what people think about him"

"and i adolize the way he acts, and performs"

Is there a video to go with this?
 
^^ I can't believe people have the nerve to ask such questions!

People's ignorance never ceases to amaze me.
 
thanks for posting that video!

The NERVE of them asking that question!!!!!!!!!!! That was not necessary, and just plain MEAN. And the interviewer was getting on my nerves tryna change ppls answers. :no:
YAY BRODY JENNER and NELLY, and everyone else that said GENIUS!!!! cause- DUH!
 
I've found some more :D

Elisabeth Taylor: I think he is one of the finest people to hit this planet, and, in my estimation, he is the true King of Pop, Rock and Soul.

Steven Spielberg: Michael Jackson, the star, is a phenomenon. The hat, a single glove, white socks and black loafers. He's mysterious. Theatrical. The consummate performer. From the way he moves, to the Neverland he's created as his home, it's as if he's an illusion.

Ricky Martin: "Woah, talking about Mr. Jackson, all my respect. He definitely has a lot to do with my career. He's the legend; El Maestro, you know? From him, we learn a lot, and definitely he will always be a part of my life."

Rodney Jerkins [On collaborating with Michael on the Invincible album]: "This is a mental challenge for me. Because Michael is so much greater than everybody else. Michael's a workaholic like me. We're in the studio for 24 hours at a time."

Macaulay Culkin: "We're good friends, we talk all the time. I'm his, ah, children's Godfather. His kids are so beautiful. I love them so much. They're so great."
"We had very similar experiences in childhood. We're both going to be 8 years old forever in some place because we never had a chance to be 8 when we actually were."

Stevie Wonder: "Michael's a natural... he's a very hard worker and a super performer. But most of all, he's a real human being."

Lauryn Hill [Denying the existance of a duet called 'This Is Our Time' with Michael and herself]: "I remember when my girlfriend called me up to congratulate me on the duet, and I was like...whaaaaat? I mean, I think if I could choose one person in the industry I'd like to record with it'd be Michael. He is so focused when it comes to what he wants, and who knows...maybe sometime in the future we will work together."

Missy Elliott: "I love Michael Jackson! I used to write him letters when I was little and daydream that he would come to my school and take me out of class."
"I don't look at it as he's not the hottest thing any more - I look at what he's done as a groundbreaking artist who opened a lot of doors for Black acts. Michael Jackson is still amazing to me."

Craig David: "The first record I bought was 'Leave Me Alone' by Michael Jackson. I'm really a huge fan of his. I think I own all of his records. He's one of the reasons I'm here today. His music and artistry had a great impact on me as I was growing up. It made me want to become a performer."

Paul MaCartney: "I didn't get destroyed by [press and fanmania] and neither will Michael. He's very talented. He knows how to make records that people like. But he's a very straightforward kid. He has a great deal of faith. He's got a lot of innocence - he protects that especially. Michael looks at artoons all day and keeps away from drugs. That's how he remains his innocence."

Janet Jackson: "It is impossible to compare us. Michael is a living legend."
"Michael is definitely my biggest influence. I don't think I dance like him though, and if I do to some extent, I can only say that we are brother and sister so the same blood does flow through us, plus we were so close growing up, and we did dance together growing up. But he's an amazing dancer and I don't think I dance anywhere near his ability. He's really an amazing dancer."

Natan Morris of Boyz II Men: "He called us the Kings of Vocals. That was exciting. Mike is cool. He's different. He's been onstage since he was five. He never got to be a child himself. I know people say all kinds of things about his Ferris wheel and all that, but he's just trying to relive his childhood. Being around Mike shows you how much further you have to go."

Santana [Who recorded a guitar solo for Michael's new album Invincible]: "I was very honored that he called on me to work with him and I love the song. He gave me a call last week, and he was really happy with it."

Sisqo: "Michael Jackson is the premise of my whole thing. Artists are afraid to say who their influences are because they fear they'll be put in the shadow of that artist. Not me. When I get an idea from somebody, I straight say, ' I took it from them'."
"Michael Jackson! I'd just love to work with Michael, period. So, Michael, if you're reading this, call me!"
Howie D. of the Backstreet Boys:"...I'm, like, dying, (because) since I was a little kid, I've been dying to meet Michael Jackson... I still haven't met him."

Ginuwine: "Growing up, Michael Jackson was my man. Because he gets up there and give it all. And musically, he challenges himself. I knew that when I got the chance to do this, I would try and do it like that."
Britney Spears [When asked what her favorite album of all time is]: "Thriller by Michael Jackson."

J.C. Chasez of N'sync: "I'd love to work with Michael Jackson. If his new album wasn't done, I'd give him a call right now."

Phil Collins: "The people who don't want anything from him are children. Everyone else wants something. They want to flirt with glory... He's a tabloid victim."

Wyclef Jean: "Michael Jackson is the greatest artist of all. I never enjoyed working with anyone so much as I did with him."

Shane Filan of Westlife: "My whole world changed when Michael Jackson brought out the 'Bad' album when I was eight or nine. He took over my life and from then on I wanted to BE Michael Jackson."

Fred Astair [To Michael after Motown 25]: "You're a hell of a mover! Man, you really put them on their asses last night. You're an angry dancer. I'm the same way. I used to do the same thing with my cane. I watched the special last night; I taped it and I watched it again this morning. You're a hell of a mover."

Barry White: "He's a milestone. A sign of distinction is the most important thing an entertainer, can obtain. It's a person that when he sings, the minute you hear his voice, you know it's him. Michael has that gift."

Mariah Carey: "I recently met the Artist [formerly known as Prince] and we have some musical plans together. I would also like to work with Michael Jackson."

Joanne O'Meara of S Club 7 [Question on who the coolest musician on the planet is]: "Michael Jackson! He's my hero and always have been. I love everything he's ever done!"
Little Richard: "Michael Jackson is the most complete entertainer I've ever met."

R. Kelly: "Why do you think Michael Jackson is still a superstar? Because he keeps searching for new challenges."

Quincy Jones: "Maybe five or eight people have this touch that God put on Michael. Stevie Wonder has it. Barbra Streisand has it. Louie Armstrong has it."

Cleopatra: "Michael is just the greatest. He has given so much to world pop. He's been named the King of Pop. He has acheived so many awards. He has been doing this for so many years and he's still not out of fashion. He's a brilliant dance. He's an excellent singer and song-writer. He's the King of Music. He is so amazing."

Angelina Jolie: "I loved Michael Jackson. I wore the leather jacket and I used to ask if I could go to school wearing studs."

Donell Jones: "My main musical influence is Michael Jackson. I just love him. He brings so much energy and so much feeling into his music. (...) I learned from him and from experience that you have to be patient in this business. I want everything right now, but I know that if you want longevity, you have to be patient. And that's what I strive for: longevity."

Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of TLC [On asked what her favourite album is]: "Thriller! It gave birth to a true megastar, and nobody has bettered it yet. It's still the biggest-selling album of all time."

En Vogue: "Our major musical influence is undoubtedly Michael Jackson. The man is phenomenal!"

Julio Iglesias, Jr. [On who his musical influence is]: "Michael Jackson".

Christian Ingebritsen of A1 [Christian wrote a song for possible inclusion on Michael's new album]: "I couldn't believe it when I found out Michael Jackson was listening to the song. He's been my hero since I was a kid. It's a dream come true. These things don't happen in real life."
"We can't believe we're going to meet him. He's been my hero since I was a kid, so to meet him will be a dream come true. I'll probably get really nervous. To get a song on his album would be a massive honour." [The song never made it to the final cut]

T-Boz of TLC: "Let me tell you about 'Billie Jean': that was awesome. I actually used to wear a white shirt with a bow tie and my leather pants every day after school. When he took his hat off and slid across the floor in that pose... that's the pose right there."

Quincy Jones: "In the studio, Michael was a hard worker, a really hard worker. He would stand there until he got it right. He likes to perform with the lights out and just a single light on the stand. And he likes to do some of his dances during songs."

Monica: "One of the turning points in my life was the first concert I attended. It was Michael Jackson. I was 7 years old. After seeing such a good show, I had an entirely different interest in the artist and in music.
 
thanks for posting that video!

The NERVE of them asking that question!!!!!!!!!!! That was not necessary, and just plain MEAN. And the interviewer was getting on my nerves tryna change ppls answers. :no:
YAY BRODY JENNER and NELLY, and everyone else that said GENIUS!!!! cause- DUH!


i agree stupid question :no:
 
eminem is a retarted piece of sh*t and he aint even worth mentioning. crappy artist, 2X crappy person.

he trashed and humiliated michael as a person in that video and his apology was "oh hes super talented and super famous i love his music" ? what the feck ? whats him being a fan of his music got to do with humiliating him as a person ? totally irrelevant.
hes got no respect of michael as a human being and thats whats important. being a fan of his music doesnt mean ish.
a person who thinks that throwing up in someones face and calling them a pedophile is a joke has lost their humanity to say the least. i feel sorry for him.
 
When you get stupid interviewers asking stupid questions like that, I always judge the person by the answer they give. It tells me the kind of person they are, how savvy they are, or how gullible they are.
 
I have heard that I based Willy Wonka on Michael Jackson before, but no, that was not my plan, I wish I had thought of that though. But there is still time to play him. He might get up to his old tricks again and maybe there will be a TV movie about him! ~ Johnny Depp 2008
 
I have to say I understand Eminem. He technically showed things tabloids are writing about those celebrities. He didn't mean to be mean. Somehow I also believe Michael understood it. For those who didn't understand it's their own problem. So I kinda support Eminem.
 
Eminem could have just let it blow over, but he came out and apologized, and he was sincere about it. I saw the video. He did something they do on SNL and other shows all the time, but he got flack for it and he apologized.
 
umm didnt mike write some of the songs on the album...?
 
Babyface's MJ reference in a song where its message would resonate with a lot of us music-lovers..


"I need a love song about now.
Don't need no ringtone songs now.
Please tell the DJ, slow it down.
I wanna think about my baby now.
I want a old school tape, a slow jam.
You know the kind when they used to romance.
When Luther used to sing like baby
and Michael made the world go crazy. "

What did brody say? I ain't watching that clip cus the last time I saw it it was 2 minutes wasted of my life to see jay leno's tool ross the intern hoping everyone would call MJ "creepy" and even though I remember what said kevin smith and apparantly he doesn't seem to hear the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" very often does he? Cus unless he's actually gotten to know him then he really knows nothing about michael at all.
