Michael Jackson‘s eldest son Prince has offered a candid response to the comparisons between his legendary late father and contemporary chart-topper Drake.
Full story below…
As reported, Drizzy broke an MJ record when nine songs from his latest album ‘Certified Lover Boy’ landed in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
The feat sparked “unique” debate on social media that led some youngsters to claim the Canadian MC as has somehow eclipsed “peak MJ.” Words that saw many clap back thunderously.
Now, Prince (age 24) has weighed in.
When quizzed on the matter, he told Too Fab:
“I mean, everybody has their own definition of great, and all respect to Drake [and] everything that he does,” before adding that he doesn’t think his dad’s career could ever be topped.
He continued:
“What my father and my family accomplished, in the time that they did it, is very unlikely never to be matched again.”
Do you agree?
I do agree. Micheal was electrifying. Janet is a living legend. Their entire family is musical royalty.
Very smart
FACTS!!! Is it me but I don’t ever recall a Drake performance on any award show or even him being on any award shows besides BET awards….
So much class! Thank you, Prince, for responding the right way!
When drake sells 40 million off one album in pure sales then we can compare
Like Cardi ever will?
Gosh, thats 40 years ago. This day and age, no one ist going to sell that.
Your point? And it’s still selling. More than some albums released today. Stay mad heaux
Thriller is actually passed 70 million worldwide.. no one will ever do that off one album again.. very unlikely
Said with respect, grace and class 👏🏽
I believe the whole world will agree with Michael Jackson son.
I like Drake but he is mostly on top because he has no real competition. Michael Jackson was highly successful during the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s.
His longevity alone is very impressive, not to mention his music broke cultural barriers during the 80’s era. His style of POP music is still a standard for modern POP artists. I simply don’t see POP artists imitating Drake on the same scale as Michael.
Also his style of R&B is highly subjective. His “Marvin’s Room” isn’t exactly regarded as a cultural phenomenon in R&B Community. Songs such as “Leave The Door Open” are still regarded as a higher standard for R&B.
How dare you refer to ‘leave the door open’ as an R&B song that generic Bible gum pop trash this generation is so stupid
Bubble gum is Justin Bieber’s catalog.
Drake is not a singer, Drake is not an r&b artist, Drake is not a great performer, he can’t dance all he does is rap & write raps maybe co-produce but everybody n they momma is doing that still no one can perform like Michael & there will never be another album to sell over 70 million like thriller
You must finished doing a line before you logged on? Go deal with ur demons before you address with the f*ck shh.
You must have finished*
Toosie Slide ON THAT, Aubrey!
How could anyone seriously EVER compare the 2 our generation is seriously stupid
who is this Drake?
there are at least another 50 artists between Drake and MJ, so Drake must first overtake them before he can get closer to MJ.
