Celebrate the King of Pop

 

Got To Be There 

Solo debut album released Jan. 24 1972
 As the first song to debut on Michael's solo album titled Got To Be There, the single became an immediate success. An instant classic Go To Be There is one of my favorite young Michael Jackson song that still warms people hearts today. 




Rock With You

 Album Off The Wall released Aug. 10 1979
During the disco era if you can't tell by the outfit, "Rock with You," is a smooth sounding song that critics praised. Alongside many classics off of the iconic album Off The Wall, "Rock with You" was named one of the biggest singles in 1980, according to billboard.  




Human Nature 

 Album Thriller released November 30, 1982
Hands down the best album of probably the decade, Thriller solidified Micheal as the King of Pop. I really would put every song on Thriller on this list, but I chose "Human Nature." The song has been sampled multiple times, the vocals are absolutely amazing, and the instruments are breath taking. 




Bad

 Bad Album Released Aug. 31 1987
Who's Bad? Bad the title of both the single and album of Michael's fifth solo album, gave Michael an edge look in such a heated political era. The album as whole is great receiving rave reviews and topping the charts nationally and internationally.  




Black or White 

 Dangerous album released Nov. 26 1991
With efforts in breaking all racial barriers, the lead single "Black or White" gave audience a rock n roll sound.  






Scream 

 History album released Jun. 16 1995
Such a dynamic duo when Janet and Michael come together! The song Scream expresses chaos that everyone can relate to in some point of their life. I like the song because it makes me want to get up and dance. 





You Rock My World 

Invincible album released Oct. 30 2001 
As the lead single off of Michael's tenth album "You Rock My World," received mixed reviews, critics saying the song lacked effort. While his R&B fans praised the single. This is R&B! I love the song.





Love Never Felt So Good 

 Xscape album released May 13 2014
Released after the King of Pop's death, "Love Never Felt So Good," makes you feel so good. The Xscape album was a great way to go out for the fans, solidifying the King's legacy to carry onto many more generations.

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow. During th...

The Real Gods of Egypt

First and foremost the fact that the entire lead cast with exception of Chadwick Boseman who plays Thoth, being of European Caucasian decent is asinine. It's a historic fact that the Gods of Egypt portrayed in this film were of African descent containing large amounts of melanin in their DNA. Simply meaning that the characters being portrayed were in real life are black. The original statues found in Egypt shows round noses, braided hair, and big lips; these are physical characteristics of black people Akhenaten "The civilization of Egypt and of Africa in general, is the most written about and least understood of all known subjects. This is not an accident or an error in misunderstandings the available information. Except for Egypt, African people have been programmed out of the respectable commentary of history. Europeans have claimed the non-African creation of Egypt in order to downgrade the position of African people in the world history. They have laid the founda...
