Paved The Path: The Last True King


Probably the most important post I'll ever do aside from when I sign my first contract lol But in light of BHM I think that it wouldnt make sense for the Pave the Path series to not include the most influential man in the history of music. Only a few names such as James Brown, Prince, Steavie Wonder can be mentioned in the same breath as the great Michael Jackson. He not only re-defined the genre of Pop, but revolutionized and inspired just about every mainstream genre existent today. Oh yeah, he set the standard for the 'music video' with Thriller which happened to be the highest selling album of all-time that will never ever be matched. Michael Jackson is the Michael Jordan of Music (fitting they did a video/song together off his classic album dangerous). Plain and simple, without Michael there would be no Kanye West, no Alicia Keys, no Ne-Yo, no Justin Bieber, no Chris Brown, no Wyclef Jean, no Pharell, no Black Eyed Peas, or any popular mainstream artist of our current generation. When he passed last year, I cried just like every other artist or fan touched by his music and greatness did. However, they were tears of joy mixed with sadness because he was trully the Last True King of our time.
