Pras & Michael Jackson: No Friend Of Mine on TheSource.com!

OK...So it all started when Tempamental released the song, "Gangsta" on his MySpace page. MJ's team didn't confirm or deny it. Nothing happened.
Then a few months later, Tempamental changed the name of the song on his MySpace from, "Gangsta" to "No Friend Of Mine." (Please note: It was the exact same song, just with a different name.) Now today.. 2/7/2007 the truth is revealed.
The song is actually by Pras and Michael Jackson. It is called "No Friend Of Mine."

Check it out by going to http://www.thesource.com and clicking on "Audio."

Now the only unanswered questions are:

Was this track newly recorded 2006/2007ish?

Was it produced for INVINCIBLE and never used?

Some orgers have said that MJ was planning to do a song with Pras for INVINCIBLE, but it didn't make the album. Any actual reports from MTV.com or VH-1.com backing up that they were planning to work together for INVINCIBLE?

and lastly

HOW IN THE HELL DID "TEMPAMENTAL" GET A HOLD OF THIS SONG BEFORE ANYONE ELSE AND REDO IT? I mean seriously, this rapper came out of nowhere. Literally not even our very own Cee has heard of this guy. (And you know, this guy is like the music professor on the org, so if he hasn't heard of the guy, you know he came out of a hole in the wall.)

As for me, Pras has been one of my favorite rappers for years, so you know I love this new track. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.

This is Jason signing off..hoping some of the MJ orgers on the Prince board can settle these unanswered questions. New Gangsta out! wink

MJ's been doing a lot of this lately. First there was Shaq's "We Be Ballin'" and no Pras' "No Friend of Mine". Believe of not, I do remember seeing the title "No Friend of Mine" listed as an Invincible out-take. But that was years ago. I don't remember the website or anything where I saw it listed as an unreleased Vince song. But I'm dead sure there was a song with that title (may or may not be this Pras song) that was an Invincible out-take.

We Be Ballin' was just a chorus repeated over and over... There were no verses as far as I recall.

I like No Friend Of Mine... although the Tempamental version does have a middle-eight section of Michael singing which isn't in the so-called "official" version...
