This is a good question! I had to bring this up recently in a MJ vs Chris Brown debate. Listen, MJ is on another galaxy and really can’t be compared to. But the one thing I give Chris over MJ that makes the debate interesting is that Chris was able to stretch his talent across multiple genres and succeeded at it. Unfortunately we never got MJ features on rap tracks, though we do have some tracks of his featuring rappers, those song still have more of a pop feeling than hip-hop though.

Was it R. Kelly that really took it there? Or the Meth and MJB joint that showed how successful a rap and r&b collab could be?

Meth and Mary definitely took it to another level

The craziest part about it is that song was raw and real. Not all sex or extra lovey dovey, yet was able to still connect on those levels. Timeless track!!

I don’t think anyone should be surprised by this. Doubt it was the Usher moment. IMO bro shouldn’t have even even been there. Give ya woman space, let her have some fun, especially at the age they are.

Wasn't DDG still messing with Rubi?

I sorta feel bad for Halle...I feel like the image she was hoping to portray meshed with DDG's. But you can't help who you love, or so they say...
