That's it, EGGS!

I'd count "HIStory" if Michael/Sony hadn't figured the smart way to distribute it with the first half being the greatest hits package.

Evvy said:

Look at everybody else's reaction, they're as repulsed. Mannie Fresh's in the background like "I know these nutty mothafuckas ain't kissing...at MY house!"

Timmy84 said:

It was on COmedy Centrals Secret Stash last weekend! God I miss Chappelle...so fuckin funny!

Timmy84 said:

unfortunately- i don't know nobody is this picture

Timmy84 said:

i forgot about history- history-invincible- some missc. greatest hits w/one more chance/thriller 25-

yeah his formula still works- its just that mj has been recycling his albums not making new ones

and come to think of it- that is hella annoying!

bboy87 said:

so by your calculations and minus Invincible- but the greatest hits and thriller 25 don't count- he is behind almost 15 years

Evvy said:

I was giving an example from the 1979-1993 years

HIStory was recorded from 1994-1995(w/ exception of Come Together and Earth Song). Released in 1995. Promoted from 1995-1997

BOTDF-recorded from 1990-1995. Promotion tie in with HIStory

Invincible-recorded from 1998-2001. Released in 2001. Promotion from 2001 to early 2002

One More Chance was recorded in late 2002 or 2003.

The Ultimate Collection-various songs from 1998-2004

I know a fan on a mj board who is VERY impatient. Maybe it's because I have patience. My other favorite performer takes ages to release new material
you want to see HIS discography?

Faith-1987
Listen Without Prejudice-1990
Older-1996
Songs From The Last Century-1999
Patience-2004

Now if only Beyonce would try Michael and George's formulas and stay away for awhile

Mike always recycles old shit, lol! He will work on songs for five or six years before finally releasing it, lol.

You know what though? I liked that he finally started releasing unreleased material from 2001-2008

You know how much I love unreleased material from MJ, Prince, and George

Now if only I could find some unreleased Stevie

bboy87 said:

Add Marvin to the ones I love to hear unreleased joints from.

Stevie is too cocky to let us hear HIS shit.

Timmy84 said:

I'm loving the In Our Lifetime package

bboy87 said:

OH BOY! "Nuclear Juice" has gotta be one of the FUNKIEST instrumentals I ever heard. I'm thinking Marvin is playing the hell out of the keys or the drums, I'm inclined to believe the former.

Plus the last half of disc 2 featuring the "Love Man" sessions... wow... "Dance 'N' Be Happy" and "Funk Me, Funk Me, Funk Me" are my shit!!!!

Timmy84 said:

"Heavy Love Affair" is THE DAMN JAM!

bboy87 said:

HELL YEAH!!!!





I love the alternate one where a woman speaks in French to him.

bboy87 said:

I also love his unedited cut of "Far Cry", the song Motown cut to fit on the album.

I really don't think music is his first priority anymore. I hear he's working with so and so, but for someone who claims to record hundreds of tracks per making of an album, he should have really released something by now. He was much more consistent when releasing albums quickly, like from Destiny through Thriller, and Bad and Dangerous, but now he's being ridiculous. I'll bet that the songs he's rejecting from Ne Yo and Akon are excellent in terms of melodies adn harmonies and he just doesn't have that ear for melody anymore and is rejecting them. I was vexed when I heard Fall Again and how he chose You Are My Life over that!

But you know, he's stuck in the past, everyone else is too, and I'm just going to have to get over him cause until he proves the public wrong and comes out of hiding and releases that album, I've decided he's retired and done with, and too much of a pussy to announce it. After all, he does need people to camp outside his hotel room in Timbuktu doesn't he?

It would be great to one day go in Motown's vaults and listen to all the material

I have to say though that GM output IMO is much better than MJ. GM's music when it does come out sounds new and is very enjoyable. While his albums are spread out, GM does still put out the occasional single, something MJ does not do.

Another group/artist that take their time putting something out is Sade. But like GM, when their disc drops it's noramlly good from start to finish.

Michael on the other hand wants that BIG hit so that's why he takes a lot of time to come out with anything, quote]




That's not why Mj takes so long between cd's.

Timmy84 said:

What you think it is... I'm sure getting a hit IS one of them.

Timmy84 said:

The main reason besides the "Hit" factor is scheduling. Mj always wants the so- called HOT producers on his work. The REASON these guys are hot is because they are constantly working. Trying 2 schedule studio time 4 several "HOT' producers can take MONTHS. Most of the guys don't just drop what they are working on and come running 2 MJ. He has 2 get in line just like everyone else. Some guys are BOOKED 4 months at a time.
