Michael Jackson ‘Michael’: The Making Of

This is a well-produced, in-depth look at the making of Michael Jackson’s recent posthumous release, Michael. For instance, MJ was preparing for this album before his untimely passing and had particular notes about any intricacy you can think of. It is an official look behind the scenes, even featuring interviews with the likes of Akon, seen in the still above. Unfortunately, the video cuts off shortly after 10 minutes (for those reading this here on my blog I GOT IT FIXED MUAHAHA so enjoy the FULL clip!). Hopefully there will be a new version that features the 24 minutes that is advertised so keep it locked for a potential update. For now, enjoy what we got above.

Michael has been my younger brother’s greatest inspiration to start his hip hop dance journey. Remember his sleek and impeccable hip hop dance moves in his amazing music videos? Legendary.

Thriller
Smooth Criminal
Bad
Man in the Mirror
Billie Jean
Beat It
and so many more…

Despite MJ’s passing, his legacy lives on.

I really admire MJ’s dedication and commitment to his work. He treats his work like a lifestyle. Like what the video said, he brought his kids along to the studio during production and the production team were like family… so heartwarming(: makes my heart tingle when I listen to this album because I imagine how the songs are produced in the environment of families coming together at the studio.

Although his genre of music cannot exactly be categorized as hip hop music per say, but they sure possess great beats to dance to…

You’ll always rock on in our hearts, MJ <3
