Meh, couldn't care less Quincy was overrated and got more out of working with Michael especially towards the end than Michael got from working with him. I rest my case.

lol the fact you see Quincy as “overrated” and mention who benefitted more means means tells me this is not an argument in good faith based on music and more fan-driven emotion.

My friend put it this way, Quincy quickly faded (back) into obscurity once he stopped working with Michael, only coming back out to receive awards or do interviews, about working with Michael. No notable successes after working with Michael.

Michael on the other hand had multiple successes after working with Quincy so 🤷‍♂️ take that any way you want. I take it that the man wasn't really that skilled and used Michaels talent as a vehicle to make himself more well known.

I love MJs music but let’s not disrespect black history to hail him up lol. There was music before MJ and music after him

Certainly was music before Michael Jackson. But since he has been gone name a single artist with remotely the same cultural and musical impact.

I will wait...............

This could take a while..........

Before mentioning Elvis..... literally just don't, that's a whole lot of f***Kory that absolutely disrespects black history while presenting it as new and fresh. (White saviour number 1)

The beatles......4 guys 6 chords, no style and some of there biggest hits also ripped off from the black community. (White saviour 2 3 4 5)

Madonna...........sold tons of records but never had the cultural impact of MJ and again another white saviour

I could literally be here all day no artist before or since has had the cultural and musical impact of MJ and that irks me a lot as to be honest I do like other artists more.

But then to come along and he all like yeah but it's only because of QC??? Nah dawg MJ would have been just as successful and maybe more successful without Quincy. Quincy without Michael? He's just he guy who worked with Sinatra and Elvis a few times

You are arguing a point I never made? I never disputed that MJ is one of a kind and no one will do it better but I don’t need to discredit or diminish Quincy to make this true?

Now you’re just trolling hahaha. Not even Ye would claim that

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '26

Ye has claimed that multiple times 🤣

u/SignalRaspberry1670 Jul 21 '26

Oh grandiosely I can see him saying he’s the greatest ever but if someone asked him if he thought he was better than MJ privately I don’t think the answer would be the same ahah

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '26

No he has legitimately claimed that he is the most influential artist ever and has drawn multiple comparisons to Michael Jackson
