The King & Queen of Pop collaborate with two of the most respected rappers in the game.

Which is better?

i don't know about better.....

but, the idea of Madonna featuring "rapper", to me, is more interesting. softer, laid back track with a hard hitting rapper. i like the contrast. i have both songs by Madonna and Michael Jackson on their respective albums, and love both tracks. Madonna's album version with Meshell Ndegeocello trumps both of these though. apart from one or two songs, i'm not really a fan of either rappers mentioned however, both collaborations work.

wish there would've been a Madonna and Michael Jackson collaboration though.

The two of them were planning a duet in the early 90s,"In The Closet".That's a cool song but I don't see how it could have been a duet.

yeah. we know about that duet that never was. you seriously don't think it would've worked?

I was never impressed when Michael used rappers. He didn't need them. I think they cheapened his music/image. Not to say that I like Madonnas song better, I don't. I like This Time Around but would've greatly preferred it without the rapping.

Nah,unless it was drastically re-written.I think the two of them should have found a stronger,better song for a duet.

I totally agree.Hip-hop sounded awkward in Michael's music.It didn't fit his image.

Yeah, I personally think that Mike was above hip-hop. Just saying.

it was disappointing to find out that,in recent years,he wanted to collaborate with 50 Cent This is sooooooo beneath him.

Madonna was supposed to be the "Mystery Girl". But, it is rumored that Princess Stephanie got the part after Mage and Mike had a falling out. Frankly, I still think that it is Madonna's voice.
