RIP Michael Jackson: Memorial Highlights

Yesterday was the memorial service for late pop icon Michael Jackson which was aired on tv live from the Staples Center. I watched it and I have to say it was beautifully done. There were performances by Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson and Usher among others.

Also a very beautiful rendition of MJ's huge hit "Heal the World"

However, for most the most touching and poignant part of the memorial service occured in the very last seconds as Jackson's only daughter, Paris Katherina, spoke on her father. I didnt cry during the whole ceremony but this part touched me like no other, it showed that while MJ is the king of pop he was also a father, a "daddy" who was loved by 3 young children. It was the most humanizing thing. Please watch...

For anyone who has ever called Jackson a bad name or person, either out of comedy or not this moment should make you recognize that besides his faults or drama he was a father and a member of a family. Michael Jackson was human too.

And the magnitude of his impact is astounding. He truly was a King.

RIP

New Music from Esso Produced by Woody!! "Dont Stop"

So one of my fave producers, Woody, who's done some sick beats for Charles Hamilton, Yung Nate, Show Tufli, B/A (list goes on) has collaborated with an artist that I heard bout through my friend Likkle Miss named Esso. The guys have remixed Michael Jackson's classic Off The Wall album which is set to come out August 10th. Finished way before Mike died, the album isn't taking advantage of his untimely passing but IS taking advantage of his crazy skills!! Knowing Woody's amazing producing powers and being familiar with Esso's music I guarantee this will be some hot shit!!
