oh, it's not even a question his career was sabotaged, right down to the J and the 5........

the rest of the brothers were sabotaged too......Rebbie goat railroaded too

during the summer of 1989, early summer of 89...I visit my local record store

2300 Jackson Street was still receiving major airplay on the radio, celebrating J5'S 25th year of existence...

I went to the record store and within minutes, I saw the most mindboggling event I've ever seen as a record buyer

a store employeed pulled every single copy of 2300 Jackson STreet from the record shelves, and when I say every copy, I mean every copy....that shelf was bare....all u saw was space....

I'm stunned.....and was like what the hell is going on....that did not even look right, knew that was not a coincidence

so I asked the store employeed why did she do it, why did she pulled only that CD of the Jacksons from the shelves and not another other CD, and she said she received instructions from her store supervisor to pull, who also received instructions to have the record pulled

but wait it gets even more mindboggling, it gets even more shady

not only was the record pulled from the record store, but radio stopped playing songs from the record, now the album wasn't even receiving airplay....same goes for Randy's debut album with his group Randy and the Gypsies.......

aint no way in the world that was a coincidence........somebody made that happen

maybe it was being pulled to be placed in the cut-out bins it was a flop album.

in any case,the CD is easily available now.It's not out of print.And truthfully,that incident you described did not happen everywhere.I saw the album in my local record stores and it was never pulled.

a Jacksons album without Michael playing a prominent role....was never going to get alot of airplay and be a big seller anyway.He was always the only big "star" in that group.

All the money he spent on his Crisco 'do could've been used for child support. And I always thought Michael was the wacky one in that family. Jermajesty????

please post on the MJ sticky

was there ever any real interest in the Jacksons after Michael left the group in 1984?

but we're getting away from the topic of the thread...lol....Jermaine could have touring all these years (as a solo act)...maybe even teaming up with other old school artists on a package tour.Not so long ago in my area,we had a concert featuring Howard Hewiit,Stephanie Mills and The Whispers.I see no reason why Jermaine couldn't be a part of a show like that.

that wasn't no flop album........another unfortunate fable that's been included in this narrative for teh past 22 years

that's why this see saw continues to this day.....the truth is like repellant for those who want to cointue w/this narrative

there was plenty of interest....that's part of the problem......the truth is being washed away to substantiate the narrative

Marlon Jackson supplanted Michael Jackson on the R&B charts as early as 1987, when Michael released the most anticipated follow up album of all time

for a month, Marlon was the #1 r&b artist in the united states, even when Billboard distorted actual sales figures figures generated by black artists because it purposely discounted purchases made by black record buyers

THIS is why it's so difficult for today's music audience to believe Marlon achieved that

and he supplanted Michael's Bad single on the r&b video charts as well........I have proof of that

in 1989 alone, Randy, Jermaine, and even Jackie released solo albums....this was after 2300 Jackson Street was sabotaged and yanked out of site.....

Randy and The Gypsies debut song and album were receiving major airplay on r&b radio during the summer....and then all of a sudden you didn't hear his music anymore as if he never made the album.........an album so strong, even Jackie said he felt Randy's album stood on the same level of Janet's Rhythm Nation

Jermaine released DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL in fall of 89...the title track reached #1 on the r&b charts too...the real r&b charts before the genre got watered down......so if you reach #1, that means there is interest in what u are doing

and he had other strong singles on the album too: TWO SHIPS, MAKE IT EASY WITH LOVE, I'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, AND DON'T MAKE ME WAIT

Jackie's album reached gold status before you didn't hear that record anymore
