I'm sure I won't remember them all, but I know Black or White was the first one & then you also have Heavy D on Dangerous.
I think it works okay on BoW and also MJ didn't write that part, I love the line, "I'm not going to spend my life being a colour', & the accompanying face wipe gesture that goes with it. Ironic as MJ did unfortunately spend his life like that in the press.
Heavy D works really well on Jam, you only realise how good he raps it when you hear the other guy doing it on the Dangerous Tour!
Then we get to HIStory where we have This Time Around with Biggie & 2 Bad with Shaq. TTA isn't the best song in the world anyway and isn't enhanced or made worse than the rap. 2 Bad is one of the best songs ever and MJ's most street sounding song as Shaq's rap works really well.
So far we 2 tracks on 14/15 track albums. That's just nice and the key is that they are spread out.
Then it gets a bit crazy. I've said before that although I like most of Invincible's songs, many don't feel like they are Michael Jackson songs. The feeling is deepened by the massive overuse of rappers.
I know it's only one more than the albums above, but the first three songs have guest raps, and I'm not sure any add to the song. Plus Biggie's one from Unbreakable is from another song (a Shaquille O'Neal one).
I really like the track Invincible (although the production isn't great) especially the bridge, 'Now someday I'll have to prove all that I said I would do', then it leads into some dodgy rap. It would be much better if that track was rockier & it went into a searing guitar solo with some MJ ad-libs.
Anyway, I'm going on. What do you think?
