Words By Contraâ„¢
I think that certain song titles should have an extended, pregnant pause attached to them.
I had initially thought this in regards to Alfa’s song, “Who want this beef?”, but said nothing. (Gottyâ„¢ said it though).
This time, I shall not remain silent. Pause to all MJ titles like this:
Michael Jackson Featuring Akon – “Hold My Hand”
Seriously?
I would further like to insist that ex-cons stop going for the obvious puns.
R.Kelly with the whole “Playas Get Lonely” or whatever nonsense that was and then when word leaks that he may have paid the girl, he has a new single called “Money”…word?
T.I didnt come out and put a track called “Who Shot Ya 2008″, and then follow it up with “Talking To The Feds.” That’d be ridiculous. I don’t see why RnB dudes always get away with shit like that.
“Hold My Hand”? No, Mr. Jackson. I will not hold it. Stop looking at my niece….and my nephew. Perv.
Look out for the remix with Weezy F. and Theodore Pain.

I was told its Akon ft MJ
Okay Mike. I’ll hold your hand but only in the company of a third party–ideally an armed third party.
Now is “hand” protool’d as a placeholder for another word? Nevamind.
Actually it’s not a bad joint. It won’t chart beyond the High School Musical crowd…. It’s just too clean. This would’ve been a dope song about 10-15 years ago.
actually it’s still kinda fresh.
“It won’t chart beyond the High School Musical crowd…”
i think ur off on that one. i think its gonna way beyond them and reach the 20-40 year old crowd, which is probably the target market. shit, high school musical fans probly dont even know more than 1 or 2 mike j songs, if that.
its grown folk music. plain and simple.
dope song. who cares about the title…..
not badd……………
but im still suspect ’bout mike…lol
Jesus Juice.
“Beeennnnnn, the twoo off uusss neeeed looook nooo mooooorree…..”
I still can’t get the image of him going to court dressed like Captain Crunch.
Chris Rock, thank you for the laughter.
^ Out of my mind, I meant to say.
Question:
Who’s the black guy with the big nose in the picture?
HOW YOU NOT GONNA POST RALPHIGE’S AKON PRANK ON MJ WITH THIS POST??? THAT WAS A MILESTONE!!!!!!!!
^ I know, huh/
he’s got, like, that real skrawng African nose and features
them lil get-ups that they rockin’ is tough
I want a baby blue one myself
and peep Donny Osmond’s Mormon ass giving Afro Jacko soul dap.
no Hancock screener leak…come on..I know one of yall cats is holdin’
What was wider, Donny’s eyebrows or Mike’s nose?
^ maaan, last screener leak I peeped was for “I Am Legend”….and that shit was pixelated as all get out. I need some high-quality FREE shit…lol
@ E. Brock
Easily the funniest line on Never Scared
Oh sh*t!!!
Put out an APB on Mike’s left hand….
A large red flag went unnoticed.
yo, the sheer amount of hair between them three dudes almost overwhelming
Donny’s tresses are wavy
@ E Brock & TC
NO DOUBT. That Cap’n Crunch line was Kool-Aid out the nose funny.
Prepare to hear this sh*t 35-40 times a day IF you still listen to the radio.
Remember we used to have them arguments when we was younger about who was better, Michael Jackson or Prince?
Prince won.
^ LMAO
Yep… Game..Set….Match…
Roger Nelson
Even back then he kept a kid on his hip…
anyone got a zshare of Maria and Jigga – Heart Braker
ideal without the DJ but even with it works
Was the kid in the middle mike’s first love?
Kinda looks like Donny is handing him over to mike and he’s saying, “Congratulations Mike…. you’ve just scored yourself a virgin!!!!”
Y’all reeeeeeeally need to stop posting shit like this, real talk.
@ No Chance
DJ Clue on the track, but hey, beggars can’t be choosy… or can they?
Mariah Carey feat. Jay-Z – Heartbreaker
http://www.zshare.net/audio/14481244649e9b98/
The Osmonds came after J5–they were pretty much Pat Boone Coons–taking black music–vocal stylings, etc. and white-washing it.
They were always kinda hacks.
anyway…
Prince usually won the debate because he (1) played instruments, too. But a lot of folks thought Prince was “less gay”–he had chicks, Mike had RomperRoom deliveries and bubbles. Plus Prince didn’t just have chicks, he had Apollonia and Vanity, the 2 finest light-skinned sistas not in Jet magazine.(2) Prince had the better catalog. Meanwhile, Mike, well… Mike had Brooke Shields–sorta. (3) As weird as Prince is/was, Mike bought llamas–that plus the skin bleach just messed the hood up. We agreed after that that Mike’s weird was weirder than Prince’s weird.
As for the high school musical angle, i still think teens will dig it, not because they luv Mike or know his joints but because its a cool song that’s pretty clean which will get parents into it, too. Plus Akon’s the hook for the 12 yr olds, not the 40/40 crowd.
Plus, the Captain Crunch bit came from Steve Harvey, not Chris Rock.
“We gettin’ ready to go to church… He come out lookin’ like Captain Crunch–bells and buckles and badges all on him!”
Akon got his issues with you girls too now. He hump ‘em on stage, get down with the teen groupies… He tryin’ to school Mike.
Prince wins the battle hands down. When you produce, arrange, write and perform all instruments on your album, you’re a genius. Hands down.
Great post, Ced. The pervies and the thug-n-b set need to stop.
Free T.I.
Mike wrote and produced tooo. It’s just that Prince has a more extensive catalog. Dude has been… to say “prolific” is an understatement.
Mike’s dope but he’s got what? 5… 7 solo joints (not counting greatest hits)? You gotta ad his J5 work to put him on Prince’s level. Prince drops every other summer. And quality, too. He’s got at least 15 albums under his belt.
The only knock on Prince is that he’s never sang a single song in his natural register—dude has one of the deepest most distinct near baritones, yet sings everything in a falsetto.
I’d pay money to see prince with a guitar and nothing else rock some hole in the wall joint…
People hate on Prince because of all that label drama and suing downloaders, too. But at least he consistent–he hate labels. he hate folks that don’t pay for his music. Mike hate everybody over the age of 11. lol!
sexual predator makes a song called hold my hand…weak…
@ Black
Good point about Prince’s voice. And yeah, I would love to see him tear down the house out here in VA…
P.S. The first time I heard that CC bit was from Chris. Steve said it too, but I’m going with the first person I heard it from. LOL
Damn Flea, you’ve been in disagreement about everything today lol
Apolonia or Vanity?
Gotty i think the TSS crew needs to debate the finest wifeys in the urban game.
I don’t know if I can cosign that Prince > Mike…Prince has ALWAYS made excellent mood and baby making music but I couldn’t think of a Prince song that I could Juke to or play at a party/club!?!
oh yeah
That TI “Talkin to the FEDs” line was low Contra…lol
@thug… If you Jukin’ the babymaking is gon come no matter what you listening to.
Jukin’… I’m from the hood in chi and i need to beat the little butts of whoever invented jukin.
it’s like some ghetto lambada ish…
@ Gotty: I’m pissed alright!!! Spent the weekend with NO internet!!! Stop posting so dam much dam it, it took me hours to catch up!!!
Lmmfao@ Capt’n Crunch.
I think the song’s pretty good though to be honest. Gotta give major props to Akon for this song, and that one with Peter Buffett (I believe). He’s really expanding his horizons right now in the music industry.
Michael is not an ex-con. If you don’t like his music don’t listen to it. He’s the most talented artist of this century. So deal with it … he’s black, talented and has done more than your negative ass will every do in your life.
Micheal is Black?
@tsmithnola
Very true.
He’s probably also done more kids than my negative ass will ever do in my lifetime.
See, the thing is, I like Mike (none). As a musician, terribly talented. A true pioneer, and a veritable icon. Own the whole collection, love a good majority of it. Yada yadda.
But as the person he is, there’s a side that cannot be ignored, in the image he puts forth. When you have that many kids pop up saying you thumbed or palmed them, then you might wanna avoid titles that may be in the least bit suggestive. Dont call your song “Come to daddy” or “Playground” or “Hold my hand”. I dont think it’s that hard to just avoid such titles. Really.
Ergo this must be intentional. And of that I disapprove.
I never said the song was terrible. Havent heard it yet. Expect it to be nothing but hot fiyah, word to Dylan.
But I did say it was an unwise title choice.
Dispute this, if you may.
i feel really sorry for the person that wrote that article claiming mj is a perv, one day you might be able to grow up and not be so ignorant…m.j has doen more for charity and children then you could probably ever imagine…shame you have been blinded by the media..real shame
Dont you have to be convicted of a crime to be an ex-con?
Agreed, yes you do have to be convicted and released to be an excon. But I think that line was more directed towards R.Kelly than to MJ…although Kells is also not an excon.
Also, @ Contra: Definitely not the smartest title for a song…but you didn’t have to do MJ like that. Honestly.
You’ve got ‘Ye, Will.i.am, akon (and probably T-Pain), within grasp, probably a Jay-Z feature too.
Locked and loaded for a comeback.
And you name a street single leak “Hold My Hand”?
Mike.
You’re better than that… (c) Second Highest Dime dropper of All Time.
Surprisingly a damn good song.
99% of you suck. Come up with original jokes or do your research. Make all the nose jokes you want, but Michael Jackson is NOT a sexual predator.
This song is also tremendous.
BTW, MJ didn’t name this song. It’s Akon’s song.
Erotic City goes HAAOORRD at the club.
so does Black Sweat, Kiss, etc…
Mike Jack isn’t gonna win nothing serious back over with Akon doggie. He needs some new inventive shit that he can claim as his. He really really really needs to holler at them producers that did The-Dream’s album. Cuz they ain’t blew up yet far as name & sound recognition, there sound hasn’t been “claimed” — & they got the most futuristic next level shit out there, that’d fit old boy to the T.
Stop fuckin’ hating on Mike! and yes, it’s Akon Ft. MJ.
Ok. I have to say something here about the Captain Crunch thing. MJ dressed that way b/c MJ’s lawyer Thomas Mesereau told MJ not to dress any differently than he would normally and yea, he doesn’t dress normal but we have all known that for YEARS!!! So i wonder why all of a sudden its getting so much crap.
Secondly, its not MJ’s song it’s Akon’s. Its more likely that Mj did not pick the title as the song was not his. So why people keep throwing that around is beyond me. GET.OVER.IT.!!!!!!!!
And honestly, the battle of Prince vs. Michael Jackson….Prince my have won the more social part of the battle but Michael Jackson DOMINATES over Prince in amounts of awards, popularity, influence on music, music videos, and other performers may like Prince but people REVER Michael Jackson and imitate him to this day. I mean the guy still has people fainting in his mere presence. Prince doesnt do that. Michael Jackson won and is still winning.
What is wrong with you people. You all need to stop with the lame Michael jokes.” All those kids coming forth agains Michael”. What are you talking about. Do you know how many children Michael has helped. Do you know how many lives hes saved. This little kid must have been 4 or 5 was going to die because he needed a liver transplant. Michael said I won’t let him die. It took some time but he found this child a liver and paid for all the medical expenses. He has given more than 300 million to all different charities. Just because FALSE allegations were made against him you people are going to crucifiy him. 80 police raided his home and his parents home in encino and they found nothing. The FBI did an investigation and found nothing. 100s of families where questioned and none came forth against him. This is not fare and it’s not funny anymore. Stop being so ignorant. In this contry you are INNOCENT till PROVEN gilty. Michael is one billion percent INNOCENT. If you don’t like our justice system than move to one of those contries where someone just has to say you did something wrong and it’s off with your head I just pray noone falsely accuses you of something.

______________
…or, like Mike, you could move to Saudi Arabia, where your wealth determines culpability.
Nobody has said he molested anybody. All that was said was that he’s been accused, alot, and instead of fighting off accusations, and walking the very straight and narrow, he’s releasing titles thats alluding.
The song is nice.
That J.Davey joint is also very nice.

Dont mind the grammer, it’s late at night.

Hey everyone! Way to comment on the song. None of you would of had a positive opinion of the song before hearing it because of your preconceived notions about michael jackson. Give over messes. Not guilty means not guilty, disporoven now stop crying about it, it was 3 years ago losers. IMO the song is OK, not brilliant but in todays shitty music scene it has the possibilty to do well. It’s an Akon song so you shouldn’t be expecting it to be a michael jackson masterpiece, that will come in a few months. This is supposed to be a discussion on a song, not an attack on an artist, not just an artist, one of the biggest selling artists of all time, with the biggest selling album of all time!
love it!
Look out for the remix with Weezy F. and Theodore Pain.
made me lol
The King of Music
Mike is the best faggot on the planet. get Lil Wayne on the shit /Mariah Carey /Ne Yo.
A bunch of so-called haters with sick minds or the media can never change my mind on Michael Jackson.
I have been lucky enough as other artists have stated to have been around and grown up with this man. He will always be one of the last living legends.
There is always the idiots who don’t open their mind beyond the small box in which they were raised. however the majority of realistic people understand and appreciate the immense talent of Michael Jackson. You just need to put them in the right position and you will see that Michael Jackson is very well liked. I’ve just seen too much love for him to believe anything else.
Song rocks!!

If you love it too!
All the jokes, innuendos and insulting comments about MJ are just really getting lame – not even the idiots with their oh-so-witty-MJ-remarks can spoil the excitement everyone is feeling about his musical return. Well, I guess ultimatly deep down I hope there will be this grand comeback which proofs all the naysayers and doubters wrong and restablishes him as a relevant musician. And million people wanna be there when it happens.
I really wish you people would learn to write English better. In half of these gibberish responses I can hardly tell if you liked the song or not. What’s the point of posting if what you have to “say” is completely incomprehensible? Read a book, read a book, read a muthafuckin’ book…
