Robin Thicke's beats sound like MJ's? Wow! You have been spending far too much time on MJ forums talking with nutjobs. After a while you all start to infect each other with the same misguided ideas. MJ influenced the visual side of things only. You only have to look at how he scrambled around to copy the latest sounds to know that he was a follower when it came to music. Prince's radical minimalism in the '80s turned out to be a pointer for where black music was going to go. Michael's stuff was merely a reflection of sounds that were already popular, and from which black music would soon depart, never to look back.I said somewhat, lol! OK, take John Legend out of that equation then.  I read things too fast. Robin's, you have to make a case for SOMEWHAT, but then again, he had a song where he tried to Marvin-ize his sound, lol.
OK... maybe I rushed to judgment, sue me, lol.  [Edited 2/23/09 8:45am] | |
