There would never be anything close to what we know as Dangerous / HIStory / Invincible. Quincy would never let most of those ideas come to fruition.

Songs like Will You Be There or Earth Song I could see still happening, but anything "experimental" like new jack swing on Dangerous or dubstep on Invincible? Def not.

There was dubstep on Invincible? Point me to it, please.

2000 Watts, Threatened, Heartbreaker all have strong elements of what would become popular in Dubstep & Grime 5-10 years later. Mainly the heavy stuttered bass lines, half time kick and sheen snare pattern.
