Jay Smooth – Dancing Into the Sunlight (MJ post)
Really, if you all you listen to is the radio and what MTV tells you to – I don’t know what hope I have for you. Even on the internets, there is so much quality stuff out there, its hard to find. For those that want to better their lives and smarten up (nas), you should be following Harry Allen and Jay Smooth. Two of the most educated, message-driven, thought provoking men in hip-hop who are not in academia. Really! Leave our site now and go read their stuff. Its that good! Anyways, I think Jay just puts together his ideas on Harlem, MJ, and media in awesome argument. Please watch. On similar note, shouldn’t we all feel a lil’ sad that Michael Jackson fought so hard to have his children avoid the childhood celebrity, popularity and its consequences that he suffered through and now we (the public) are forcing his daughter to relive that family cycle. Maybe it’s just me….
Re: his daughter, I was a little disturbed by that too. The public barely saw the kids while he was alive, the moment he was gone they were thrust into the limelight.
man…. this dude talks waaaaay too much…
Thanks but i don’t need some douche bag to gimmme some crazy psychoanalytical bullshit…….. Usually his posts are more interesting…… but this one!?!?!?!
wtf can i get from his soliloquy??… Michael was great, he was famous,he touched us all, he was a freak, the camera fucked his life up…. somethin bout our children somethin somethin……. Sounds like he said just that with a bunch of fancy words all around…. He made it sound like a new argument…. But its just a bunch of shit, gift-wrapped
is he considered smart just cuz he goes on and on and on????
Maybe im too stupid, can someone summarize what he said for me… put it in language a stoner would understand…..
Kamikaze!
@x – basically, he was saying that the media (mic and camera) and celebrity was a double-edged sword. It helped him get his art and emotions out but it was also his downfall. hope that helps.
