Hey Everyone :)
I'm sorry for taking so long to post this, I've been very busy lately, but anyway here goes. So my cousin and I don't agree on a lot of things, and certainly one of them is our taste in music. It all started when my cousin would play Jay Z's music super loud with the windows rolled down and all. Now, I'm not a major fan of Jay Z, however his recent album Magna Carta Holy Grail has definitely made me gain some respect for him. Amidst trying to shelter my ears from the pounding bass and cursing as the song Holy Grail blasted, one word really caught my attention. No surely it couldn't be, I thought to myself. Excited, I rewound the track to the beginning (much to my cousin's pleasure), and sure enough I heard it again, "Michael Jackson" rapped the powerful voice. But there's more! Here's what Jay Z has to say about the King in his latest track Holy Grail:
You still alive, still that n***a
N***a you survived, you still getting bigger n***a
Living the life, Vanilla wafers in a villa
Illest n***a alive, Michael Jackson's Thriller

Also in the song F.U.T.W., Michael's name is mentioned again, however I don't think it's linked to the death hoax though:
You know I'm gon' shine like a trillion watts
You know a n***a trill as Michael Jackson socks
Sendin' light out to Compton and the hundred blocks
Lil b******d boy, basking on top
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3qUaUsf4cMI don't know much about this topic, but I've also heard rumours linking Michael and Jay Z to the Illuminati. What do you guys think? One thing's for sure though, Holy Grail has become the one thing my cousin and I finally agree on and has been playing on repeat ever since!
Love you always,
Michael's P.Y.T.
