Michael Jackson faces financial ruin

[Devious]

No, they are not still down. If you've seen any interviews with Paul asking about this, he is still very bitter, and has no love for MJ. He may be glad that MJ owns it rather than a corporation, but I'm pretty sure he'd rather own it himself. I just look at it like this. Let's say you were an artist, and you recorded a lot of music that the record company owns. Then the record company decides to sell your library, and you very badly want to own it. How would you feel if a friend of yours just came and bought it out from under you, knowing how much you wanted it? That's called backstabbing, and I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who treats their friends like that

Come on man, you know what he did was cold. In business terms, there was nothing wrong with it, but to do that to a friend is just wrong. He knew that Paul wanted to buy the Beatles library but didn't have the funds at the time, so he swoops in and buys them for himself. That's about as shady as you can get to take away a chance for a friend to own material that he created. If Paul and MJ weren't friends before all this, then there's no problem, but for him to do that to a friend is just cold. Oh and by the way, do you really expect those albums to do that well? Like I said, he hasn't exactly been burning up the charts, even before the trial he was generally considered a has-been by most people except for the die-hard fans. They'll make some money but they are certainly not gonna sell like MJ did back in the old days

When you're doing business,feelings aren't involved anymore,if Paul got butthurt then he's a pussy and a bad businessman,which is what happened.

 

[Devious]

Maybe if you are a cold hearted bastard like MJ then yes Bigmack you are right. But would you do something like that to someone you considered a friend? If so then I'm glad I don't know you personally because I'd never be able to trust you. If you value money and possessions over friendship, then there's something wrong with you.

 

[bigmack]

yes i would do something like that and I have. money > friends

 

[Devious]

I feel very sorry for you

 

[bigmack]

^I don't need your sympathy

 

[Devious]

Wow, there are really some cold hearted people on this board, I hadn't realized the world was so fucked up that people don't even value friendship anymore. Oh well mack you can have all the money you want and no real friends to spend any time with we'll see how happy you are in 20 years with no friends

 

[bigmack]

^ don't worry homie,in 20 years ill buy some friends if im running low

 

[SiGh]

i remember reading a good 10 yearz ago..he was like a lil over 300 million. so ay atleast the debt went down.

 

[LesanePCrooks96]

...I'd like to add, if Michael stopped buying those $500,000 extravegant paintings he likes so much, or sold some of the ones he has, that by itself would take care of his payments for a couple months...not to mention the countless shit he could potentially sell; at a ridiculous price cuz he's MJ. so a reg. pillow used by MJ would prolly sell for a couple Gs on theBay

 

[SiGh]

i just wanna know wtf his financial managerz are doing. force mikes ass to sell unessasary shit so he can atleast stay in a home.

sell never neverland..and buy just a "normal" 1-4 million dollar manison.

 

[PELLA]

^ robbing him



i think he's got a drug problem. Look at the way he walks and he's always leaning on his bodyguards. Dont blame that on all those surgeries man :sad:

 

[SiGh]

Cure mike:

Give his ass the coldest shower to wake his ass up.
Git him some dope ass hood bitches to fuck.
and send his ass my way or to compton for a week.

and i gurantee u dat his ass'll be a nigga mike with a deep voice.

 

[Big Flipp]

MJ is a bitch for what he did to Paul. The two were very close friends and he put money infront of that. MJ is an artist himself, he knows the amount of sweat and love that goes into your art. He of all people should understand that the music is Pauls and should belong to him. He wouldnt even give Paul the chance to buy them back, I hope now that his ass is going broke that he decides to sell them to Paul for a lot less that what he could have got years ago. I can't believe the people on here, saying that it's business baby and friends do not matter. You are going to live very sad lifes if you hold money that high on your list of pirorities.

 

[PELLA]

too bad we cant hope for the same thing with MJ

 

[Big Flipp]

too bad we cant hope for the same thing with MJ

He has lead a very sad life. The guy has been seriously depressed and emotionally stunted for the greater part of his life. He has spent all his money in search of happiness and has never found it, not in the expensive plants or statues he buys, not in the ranch to reclaim his lost childhood. The guy has spent all his money trying to reclaim something he never had and why did he not have it? Money, his family was too concerned with business and he was never allowed to be normal.

 

[Devious]

I make fun of MJ a lot, but like you said Flipp, the guy has led a very sad life, and I kind of feel bad for him. That being said, he's still a freaking nut who went off his rocker long ago

 

[PELLA]

its true about that loss of childhood thing...never thought about it that way. Makes sense. With this whole Peter Pan thing and shit. But ya'll gotta admit, he's got talent

 

[Devious]

He HAD talent. He has to prove that he still has it, since he hasn't done anything worthwhile in years

 

[PELLA]

he's got good songs man
