i just sat through two hours of something amazing...
i sit here, maybe an hour after it was all said and done with tears brimming in my eyes, still. some of ya'll don't even understand what we've lost. he was more than an entertainer, a trendsetter, an icon. he was one of the most beautiful human beings this world has gotten the chance to witness. if god made anything better he kept it to himself. i just...i might be young but i feel like i knew him and that i grew up with him. he was REAL music, real emotions...he was everything an entertainer should be.
and yet...people in the industry just don't get it. the shit out today with the exception of a small few have spat and shit and vomited on the real meaning of music to me. looking back at this man's music, i'm ashamed of being apart of this generation. we don't know real music. no one can take this man's place. not a beyonce, not a rihanna, not an usher, not a chris brown, NO ONE. they can try, maybe someone will step to the plate and be that great entertainer that our generation so desperately needs. but from where i'm standing everyone too into themselves to do it. i'm begging our artists, our entertainers....GROW SOME BALLS AND STEP YOUR GAME UP, PLEASE. i'm begging you, because at this point with the death of the king of entertainment came the death of real music. ya'll got the skill, just get the will, please.
[ brings out the hood in me ]
and let me get some shit straight. that man's personal issues has nothing to do with his music and the things he did for the world. he did so much for this world and ya'll have the nerve to speak down upon him. have some fucking respect and integrity for yourself. ultimately these issues and the media are the reason that he began to crumble. if ya'll was listening to reverend al sharpton then i don't have to say shit else.
but in closing, i just want to thank michael. for everything you've contributed to the world, to me...you are truly an angel and a gift to this undeserving world. they didn't appreciate you then, but i bet they will now. rest easy prince; your job is done.

hi taye, this is emi. =] this entry is beautiful. couldn't have said it better myself. "you are truly an angel and a gift to this undeserving world." & he was just that - a "gift" to this world, but he came down from heaven & it was time for him to go back home.
Thank you so much for speaking the truth on this. At times I feel very ashamed of my generation and being apart of it and 106 & Park is the perfect example of how we suck at music. I totally agree with your opinion and I feel your pain because I was in the same emotional state that you were in.
