Michael Jackson is immortal!
Over the weekend, I couldn't stop playing Michael Jackson's greatest hits. Which in my opinion, every song is a hit if it's MJ's. Anyway, this week will be dedicated to him in honor of being a bad ass in pop culture and an all round entertainer of my lifetime or in other words... my favorite MJ songs! So to jump things off, my number one song from the King of Pop is "They don't care about us". Besides this ticking military beat that makes you want to dance like the master himself (I can never not do the shoulder bounce he does), the words speak on some real shit! World oppression, police brutality, and the justice system just to name a few was brought to life through this video and it's trifling how these same issues MJ was talking about damn near 21+ years ago, still exists today. IDGAF what anybody says.... racism is still live and well, but that's a whole different story for a different time. It's always sad to see such a great entertainer go because it seems so surreal, but like I've been told a time or two... the art will always out live the artist. Enjoy!

I agree that this is one, if not, the best song of Jackson's career. This or "You Are Not Alone" and "Scream". :)
