J-Dilla: Sum Spooky Sh*t

For those that caught my Dilla Jackson mixtape, I used this beat from J-Dilla's Beat Tape '05 to remix the end dialog by Vincent Price from Michael Jackson's "Thriller". This beat was also used for Q-Tip's "Fever" song.

Happy Birthday: Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson
(August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
Birthday wishes are going out to The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who is recognized by the world as being the most successful entertainer of all time. During the late 70's and 80's, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. By the mid-1980's, he became a permanent fixture in pop music and a staple of MTV (Music Television), having several music videos in heavy rotation. Jackson also is a pioneering figure in making music video more artistic.

Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first (and currently only) dancer from the world of pop and rock 'n' roll. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any other artist, including the "Artist of the Century"); 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era); and the estimated sale of over 750 million records worldwide. Jackson won hundreds of awards, which have made him the most-awarded recording artist in the history of popular music.

Below is a tribute mix I did in his honor. The cover art for this mix was done by me as well. To view complete track listing, visit my podcast page here. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday: Michael Jackson

This is the day when we pay homage to our beloved Michael Jackson, the undisputed King of Pop, who was a man of many hats. Singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, inventor, activist, philanthropist, actor, and so on. Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, IN, the eighth child of Joe & Katherine Jackson. Starting from humble beginnings with his family in a small home, The Jackson family would eventually take the world by storm. From his start with the Jackson Brothers, later changed to The Jackson 5, Michael gained more success as both a solo act and with The Jacksons.

Michael Jackson recorded ten studio albums with Thriller being the greatest selling album of all time worldwide. Estimates have reached far over 110 million in album sales. Seven of the nine songs off the album were released as singles and all seven of the singles reached #1 on Billboard music charts. BAD would come in second with more than 30 million copies sold and is considered his best musical project of his career. Despite it's commercial success, BAD is considered a relative failure in comparison to Thriller. Off The Wall is his third best selling album with more than 20 million copies sold. Michael Jackson was disappointed with the one Grammy it received and vowed to never let that happen again.
