Jermaine Dupri is steaming over Rolling Stone’s ‘terrible songs’ list, especially their dig at Michael Jackson’s ‘The Lady in My Life.’
- Rolling Stone’s Andy Greene ranked 50 ‘terrible songs’ on otherwise ‘great albums,’ putting MJ’s track at number 20.
- Dupri vented on social media, blasting the critique and claiming it undermines R&B music.
- Twitter was abuzz after Dupri’s comments, with fans rallying in support of both the artist and genre.
- Meanwhile, an exciting discovery of unreleased Michael Jackson tracks has been unearthed in California.
Jermaine Dupri is fired up about a recent Rolling Stone article labeling Michael Jackson’s ‘The Lady in My Life’ as one of the ‘terrible songs’ on otherwise ‘great albums.’ This track landed on the list at number twenty, provoking Dupri’s wrath.
Rolling Stone’s Andy Greene noted how ‘The Lady in My Life’ was allegedly misplaced on Thriller among classics like ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Beat It’. While he acknowledged Jackson’s strong vocals, Greene argued the song didn’t belong on such a legendary album.
Not one to hold back, Dupri took to social media with a fiery response. He called out Rolling Stone, saying the article was a slight against R&B, a genre he feels is no longer getting the love it deserves, especially at major award shows.
In his heated social media post, Dupri pulled no punches, referencing pop culture icons to emphasize his frustration. His candid comments suggested that more respect should be given to Jackson’s work and R&B music as a whole.
Fans quickly rallied around Dupri’s post, sparking spirited discussions on Twitter about the merits of MJ’s music and the importance of preserving the respect for the R&B genre.
In an interesting twist to the ongoing Michael Jackson saga, a batch of previously unreleased tracks featuring a collaboration with LL COOL J has been found. These songs, ranging from 1989 to 1991, were discovered on DAT tapes in a storage unit in California.
Gregg Musgrove, a former California Highway Patrol officer, stumbled upon these treasures while purchasing a storage unit. Unfortunately, due to Michael Jackson’s estate’s rights over the recordings, these tracks might remain unheard by the public.
The estate clarified they received DAT copies rather than master recordings, keeping a firm hold on any potential commercial or public release of these rare tracks.
The story highlights the passion and complexity surrounding music legends and their lasting impact.
