In mi neighborhood, we grew up on Michael Jackson

say what you want about Michael. you know Katt Williams had no problem doing so (and it was damn funny). and though some saw him as a predator, a weirdo, bonkers (BBC), etc.. we can all agree on one thing; he was brilliant. one of the most popular and recognizable musicians of our time!
i remember mi aunt making mi learn the entire dance routine from Thriller. i remember the feeling i got seeing Mike play The Scarecrow in The Wiz, and mi daughter now knows that feeling as well. i remember the kids in mi hood wanted to be like Michael Jackson in one way or another…

Rest in Peace, brother Michael. There will NEVER be another performer like you.
