I like Michael Jackson. Say what you will about his nose(s) and the whole Jesus Juice thing, his music is good. And as it turns out I'm not the only one who thinks this. Chicago rapper Rhymefest, best known for his work co-writing Kanye West's "Jesus Walks", throws down an entire MJ tribute album enititled "Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Tribute Album". For the beats he enlists Mark Ronson who does his best Kanye impression with an MJ soul sample on every track. Top that off with guest spots by rappers like Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli and Wale. as well as the apt rapping skills of Rhymefest himself (so thats how kanye learned how to rhyme for one song!!) you get a fun album full of MJ nostalgia as well as some pretty good songs. The whole album is free to download or just listen off of Rhymefest's website (see link below) and ive posted one of my personal fav tracks here as well...
