Let's end the confusion about MJ's unreleased tracks here

Bill Botrell claimed that the 2004 version of Monkey Business was not the most finished version. There is a funkier version that Bill Botrell loves. He indicates that he does not know what he will do with it if he finds it, since he no longer has any contact with the Estate.
 
Monkey Business is also against the tabloids, isn't it?
I read the paper and I can't believe what's goin' 'round
 
"They are mainly the same chords that I use in so many...of my songs in the past, that I have written. That's What You get for Being Polite is one. Others would be, Why Can't I Be, Thank You For Life, all these have the main - the same type of chords as The Girl Is Mine"

They actually played the last 2 songs Michael mentioned during his court deposition in 1984. Too bad we don't have audio or a full transcript

I'm sure the Estate has both and is just holding on to them. Maybe for Thriller 50.
 
This isn't a finished song or a different version. It's literally them playing with MJs stems for MB. Bill used to throw partys like this in the studio.
I think so too, Teddy Riley's funk is buried beneath the released track
 
Do you mean the "Down" section that gets repeated? That's Michael on BGV, you can hear it in the finished song as well.
Yes that! There is a song by TR which has that almost identical. Or maybe it's MJ's voice tweaked by Teddy and mixed by Botrell..?

Only thing is they're not going to put them on their designated albums

Thank You for Life is pre OWT and a possible outtake for the concept album
Why Can't I Be is from Triumph
 

This is so cool
This stuff is just sitting around. This about that.

Is it something you'd listen to over and over again? No. But to hear the inception of an iconic track is such a great insight for those who care and given that it's two of the biggest musical stars that have ever existed - there a lot of people interested in this kind of this.

But the Estate has no internal mechanism to process a bigger picture with their releases, so the best fans can hope for a leaks.

Paul McCartney could've released this ages ago. It makes more sense with him.
