Download ... "Man Or The Music" (A Tribute To Michael Jackson)
I woke up on June 26, 2009, early. I was heading up to Boston for 6 weeks for work. I flipped on the television and CNN was still talking about the death of Michael Jackson. It still didn't seem real.
It still doesn't seem real.
I had gone 31 years and he was always a constant in and around my life. I remember lip syncing "Man in the Mirror" at family events. I remember reciting lines from "PYT" to well, pretty young things. I remember the fear that surrounded me while watching "Thriller" in a dark room as a kid (and an adult). MJ's music had meant a lot in my life. He was an entertainer and just a cool person in my eyes.
That morning, as I packed and prepared for my journey, J. Period's "Man Or The Music" (A Tribute To Michael Jackson) popped up. It was like the MJ essentials, filled with classics, rare demos and remixes. It was perfect.
This tribute mix blasted for days and days (and is still played). So, the day before the anniversary of the death of the King of Pop, I share with you again J. Period's "Man Or The Music" (A Tribute To Michael Jackson). So, go get your red jacket with the zippers, white glove, some white socks, dress shoes and high watered pants, and enjoy.
Rest in Peace Michael.

So, how do you celebrate the late King of Pop's birthday? It's surely not watching the BET Awards again, I'll tell you that! What you do is throw on a white glove, your Thriller jacket and pretend like hell you can do the moonwalk, while you vibe out to MJ hits! And you don't stop till you get enough ... then you rock some more after that. So, with that said, we thought it was only fitting to hit you with this J. Period tribute mix again.
Happy Birthday MJ!

"Gone too Soon" Goodbye Michael ...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7gCLDjChUQN2NNNCYjGwvVs_Q692UdFtkY06w6DqZynCg5lH1FVH5U2FnI6kyerBIxAcNOGjT6-k_uO_wFD77bzSO4q9P8DeZZT7BgHu0oWn0LpS8l7sFmOQz_ULvLMbrxdDl/s400/5086_94456504404_506569404_1960789_7185658_n.jpg)
And as I watch clips over and over throughout the night from places around the world paying tribute to the man who will always be known as the King of Pop (or the greatest entertainer of all time) I am moved. As a father, the words spoken by his daughter Paris touched my heart. And even as much as I am against Al Sharpton on many issues, his words were for the most part inspiring and truly heartfelt (weirdly enough it was the first time I ever felt like Al was a reverend because he brought us to church). From beginning to end it was a very respectable and classy service, that spoke to the man as an artist and the man as a friend and a human being.
In a way I felt like the memorial allowed MJ to reclaim a bit of what the media and others tried to chip away from him over the years, with accusations, rumors and lies. "Maybe now Michael, they will leave u alone..." his brother spoke from the stage. Sadly though, I doubt it will happen as the exclusive hungry media continues to examine the details of his untimely death and follow what will happen to his children in the coming weeks, months and probably even years. They're vultures. But I still think MJ was honored in a way that they will never be able to take away. He was honored as a King.
A friend sent this video link over to me. I'm not sure if it's legit or not but I thought that it was well put together and allegedly could have been a part of the BET Awards show (what a travesty that event was in it's entirety and clips). I don't normally post things I can't confirm (because we aren't TMZ) but again I thought that it was a pretty dope video.
So whether legit or not, we post this video as a respectful tribute to MJ.
I still can't believe the man is gone. Michael was simply an amazing artist and person and his music was a cornerstone growing up. As if he could hear me, I yell out "I LOVE YOU MICHAEL"
"In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tribulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart."

TELL 'EM WHY YOU MAD: Tha Lady Blogga on Black Embarrassment Television
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqZ_YAalh9Qp-T-OxcZmsa5nHjz2Z9bskg1cmT2z-nJ4q6Lv2DfnRmgtCb-iEdmPIXZGwq5yvNS3N_sOPllJeKQNnwLzv9UGqnFM5kgOHgiOUws0BFW2XAlwZx5pjUTK_oo3Wi/s320/black-white-minstrel-show.jpg)
I am not a watcher of BET for various reasons. But due to the untimely passing of Michael Jackson, the BET Awards were supposed to be a celebration of Michael Jackson. So I decided to put those reasons to the left and watch in his honor.
Well…
Let me start with the Red Carpet Pre-Show. During the Red Carpet Show, it was just a debauchery of performances for the no talent artists we rip-apart daily. Let’s start with the grammar and overall hosting presentation of Rocsi a.k.a. Wrecksi, Terrance and Toccara. I think that if you are going to host a show, there should be mandatory protocol that needs to be followed. First of all, you need to speak proper English. Tocarra was a total embarrassment when speaking to the guests on the red carpet. So was Terrance. He referred to Illinois as “Illinoise” and did it with such confidence. Wrecksi was her usual ghetto self and she was “shouting out” and “hollering” at people every chance she got. All of which would be acceptable if they were on the set of 106 and Park (aka 106 & Playground). But as the nation was tuning in, CNN was covering and just the fact that it was supposed to be an awards show, these red carpet hosts should have stepped their game up.
The red carpet performances were like one big amateur night at the Apollo. Actually, I would have appreciated the talent of the folks at the Apollo much better. On the Red Carpet stage were the talentless acts Pleasure P, Jeremih, Beyonce clone Latoya Locket, New Boys (Whoop?), Day 26 (Whaaaaat?) and another group of instructional dance singers/rappers that I don’t even remember. Once Day 26 won the “Best Group” award over “The Roots”, my capacity for remembering any of this nonsense was out the window.
The show was supposed to be a tribute to Michael Jackson (at least that’s the hype BET went into it with). Jamie Foxx was on his usual BS. He cracked his usual jokes and changes into a new Michael Jackson outfit between acts. I can’t say that I liked it but given the situation, people needed to laugh. While listening to some people sing his MJ songs, I only hoped that he would walk out on the stage and tear it up. But he wasn’t going to. It was awful. Listening to their performances only saddened me and made me miss him more. I know they only had three days to prepare but they could’ve done a better job. I mean, I didn’t expect anything more. This is BET for goodness sake.
The whole beginning of the show was about Michael Jackson. The opening act was all about New Edition. While they had all the Jackson 5 dance moves down, their singing was washed up completely. Bobby Brown even played the role as Tito, he gained like an extra 150lbs and looked awful on stage. He went as far as to do the lip licking thing in the camera… TACKY!! Ne-Yo (who came to the show with an extra from “Candy Girls” and claimed her as his girlfriend…*side eye*) came out and sang “Lady in My Life” and THANK GOD!!! Finally some quality sound. Ciara sang “Heal the World”. And she really shouldn’t have. She did the song no justice. I can’t understand why they didn’t let these artists stay within their range and sing up-tempo songs. The ballads they tried to accomplish were just… Uggghhh.
As the show progressed, we forgot about Michael and had to endure other stuff. I guess because this was such a closely watched event, Jay-Z felt it necessary to make an appearance singing “Death of Auto-Tune”. I am almost positive he wouldn’t have bothered otherwise. While the song is beginning to strike me as lame, his stage performance was not the usual. He finally got a haircut and he was actually unusually energetic. I’ve seen Jay in concert a few times so I am used to his usual dead stick performance.
I mean, I wasn’t surprised at the sloppiness and unprofessional put together show. I especially loved the bad timing of the censor button pusher, who censored the “bad word” after it was already said… And I think he just gave up after awhile because Eddie LeVert managed to say “shit” with no problem. Speaking of LeVert, it was great to hear the O’Jay’s. Real music sounds good and I hope the new breed of whiners and crooners had their notepads out.
There were many things just wrong with this awards show. I could have listed many other singers to have put together meaningful tributes to Michael. I am annoyed that Chris Brown was not a part of the show. Rumor has it that he was not included because of his recent rift with Rihanna. Well there were plenty of alleged woman beaters on the stage last night so that can’t be the reason. Aaron Hall, Bobby Brown, Don Cornelius… And these are all respectable men??
Let’s not forget the ridiculous run of the advertisements for the “Frankie and Neffe” and “Tiny and Toya” shows that made me want to vomit. Who is going to watch that garbage?! Who cares about washed up celebrity relatives? I know I don’t.
The BET Awards show just confirmed what I already knew. That channel needs to be canceled from my cable package immediately. I thought they would have stepped up and actually made themselves look good. Instead, it was a mockery of our culture and music and I am thoroughly embarrassed. I have never known Michael Jackson to be a “friend” to BET. I guess because he’s black and they are a black network, it only seemed right. If Michael Jackson were alive, guaranteed, he would not have been watching that bullshit last night.
