The song samples and is a full interpolation of Biggie's Unbelievable song. There's no one more fitting for the part.No one, Biggie's verse is perfect. Can't even imagine anyone other on the rap.
Album will probably be out when detox is…lol
Because the song contains an interpolation of Biggie’s Unbelievable track. The whole basis of the song, instrumentally, was created from a Biggie song, which makes it rather less shocking that a verse of his from that song was used, instead of a random rapper’s.
Yes, my bad. It still makes sense to use Biggie’s voice on a track that sounds like one of his own, in my opinion.Biggie's verse didn't come from "Unbelievable". It came from some random song he did with Shaq years ago.
Yes, it is pretty random to include a verse from Biggie when he was already dead for four years, especially considering that he and MJ were never close.
It has been written that Rodney Jerkins liked that rap verse, and he thought that it would perfectly fit the 'Unbreakable' song.Pretty lazy to just recycle an old Biggie verse instead of getting a new one specifically made for the song. If you can't get Biggie to rap on the song because he's dead, then get a rapper who's alive.
Honestly i couldn't care less about the rap parts in Invincible, they exist, Fat sucks, i get it, i don't mind them thoughPretty lazy to just recycle an old Biggie verse instead of getting a new one specifically made for the song. If you can't get Biggie to rap on the song because he's dead, then get a rapper who's alive.
Should every MJ-influenced song sample old vocals from MJ himself?
Having said that, i just don't get what you have against the Biggie sample in Unbreakable?... like, the verse seems to fit the song like a glove, hell, it's been mentioned already that Unbreakable takes a lot from Unbelievable so it can be considered a nice little homage...
I see your point... would you have the same issue if it weren't the vocals the thing being sampled? genuine questionRight, so then let's sample MJ vocals for every song that's inspired by him and see how that works out.
Recycling old vocals is always lazy and especially off-putting when they're of a dead person.
The fact that you consider Biggie smaller than Jay-Z or Snoop shows what a doofus you are actually.Apparently, it comes down to Michael Jackson's egotistical attitude.
It seems that Michael Jackson feared that big rappers (such as, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg) on his albums would overshadow him, hence his preference for small rappers.
Lenny Kravitz already did that with Low (2018), it don't offend nobody. And Naughty by Nature. And Drake.... Like, have you even been listening to music?Right, so then let's sample MJ vocals for every song that's inspired by him and see how that works out.

Eve is on the Butterflies remix though. She is also on the remix for The Greatest Romance Ever Sold by Prince.Eve ...as well !she would have been fabulous.

A snippet from the song with Eminem leaked (from the LL album), but sadly Em sounds robotic as ever.the Dr. Dre produced album with LL (2016-2019) was ready for release and they did over 30 tracks together:
working with Dr. Dre mostly ends nowhere. no release, just teasing and talking about it. shame we never get to hear this stuff...LL Cool J Reveals Dr. Dre Was The Original Producer For Upcoming Album Before Q-Tip
LL Cool J revealed that Dr. Dre was the original producer for his upcoming album before a dream led him to working with Q-Tip.www.vibe.com
GOAT2 (2015) was also canceled. most likely because of all those trap and migos style beats.
then in ~2019, LL decided to work with Q-Tip and that one is coming 100% now. the song "The Force" is already on constant radio rotation (rock the bells radio).
however, i would love to hear LL together with MJ on a officially released track. LL goes really hard on more aggressive / hardcore hiphop songs.
Serious Effect had the "Just Good Friends" issue. Two legends but super weak song.
I kinda agree. I do admire MJ's loyalty for bringing back people like Slash and I definitely see the verses on 'Unbreakable' as a hommage to Biggie. On the other hand it was really time for something new and bringing in Biggie's rap didn't help. The rap of Fats was also nothing new; in fact, imo, he should have left out all rap and go more electronic OR go with the newer style of rap at the time like Nelly or ClipseRight, so then let's sample MJ vocals for every song that's inspired by him and see how that works out.

Anthony is one of the best MC the rap game ever had. I would say better than tupac at the time. Don't let you and i ever meet.Naughty by Nature have long been irreleva

Yes agree, Want. I wanted that at the time lolOR go with the newer style of rap at the time like Nelly
I know. I wanted a whole predominant song with Eve not just a remix . I know treach NBN was on the scream louder 95 remix and Jam 93.Eve is on the Butterflies remix though. She is also on the remix for The Greatest Romance Ever Sold by Prince.
Doesn't change my point, it's already been done. And I never heard hate for Drake like the entire industry has for AI or somsthing.Kravitz and Naughty by Nature have long been irrelevant; hardly anyone cares about their music, so most people didn't notice. Drake sampling MJ's vocals definitely got criticism for being tacky and random.
Thank you @Victorious we know whats up"Who you callin irrelevant"
*they peek in the thread*ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
4 the love , thank you . The chain remains. You can tell im a real naughty girl can't youThank you @Victorious we know whats up

Both of those latter two sound pretty positive actually. The last one down right is.It's been done and gets flak every time. Drake did get flak for it:
NME's Luke Morgan Britton described the song as "a clear-cut power move, rather than artistic posthumous collaboration," and considered it as an example of "cases of Drake doing things because he can, rather than because he should." The Hollywood Reporter's Jonny Coleman felt the song "is as unsettling as a Tupac hologram, but ultimately not as offensive. It sounds like a Weeknd B-side but is weird enough to break up some of the exhaustion of listening to [Scorpion] in one sitting." Dean Van Nguyen of The Irish Times said, "Jackson's segment is lovely, his vocal loop floating over the warm ‘n’ woozy orchestration which comes off as a kind of downbeat version of "Liberian Girl". Unfortunately, Drake is the worst thing about the song, his depressed coos sounding formless and without conviction."
And I'm sure Kravitz and Naughty by Nature got flak, too, but they're so irrelevant these days that most people aren't gonna notice them do anything, let alone sampling vocals.
