I grew up with Rodney. His father and my father were both Pastors of churches around the corner from each other. Bishop Fred Jerkins was very strict holiness preacher so he took a lot of heat for supporting Rodney making”Rock and Roll” music. So proud of this brother. So happy for any one making it from Atlantic City! Much love!!

Absolutely right!!! Invincible was his best!!!

One of the reasons why Michael Jackson is the Greatest is because he was able to re-invent his sound with every album! His albums took longer to come out for a reason! Quality takes time! You got artists who create the wave, and artist who ride the wave! MJ WAS A CREATOR. He never lost the essence of where the music originated from, that’s why his catalog is untouchable. You go back and listen to other R&B/Pop artists that were relevant during his time and you’ll see they had hits, but they just couldn’t deliver the same way MJ did.

Rodney and Michael did an absolute stunning and amazing job with "Invincible". Rodney really tried to bring back the "Off The Wall" Michael Jackson. Throughout that whole album Michael is only "Hee Hee"-ing once or twice and only says twice "shamone" on that whole album. He also holds back on his "hic up"s. All those signature stuff that really came with Thriller and BAD. On Invincible Michael really focuses on his vocal abilities. You can hear that in "Break of Dawn" and "Butterflies". "Whatever Happens" with Carlos Santana is a masterpiece. "Threatened" has - even after 19 years (!) one of the sickest beats ever and "Heartbreaker" is probably one of the first Dub Step songs ever. Invincible was way ahead of his time and people didn't appreciate it, because it was Michael Jackson. But listen to it and you will see, that album is extremly ahead of it's time. Oh one more thing: On "Unbreakable" raps The Notorious BIG ;)

Great interview. Didnt realize Rodney started so young. He is gifted and blessed and was supposed to be. He is right about Whitney her vocal range was the best singer I heard. Her tone, range, power and strength was the a gift from God. That woman could sang! I love Mariah too she is the best at high notes soprano notes. Also M.J. was so talented, sweet and smart and I feel like those accusations came from his catalog and half Sony ownership as well.

“I love Kanye... I think he’s a Genius!” ... I love that part

I danced and bounced to many songs produced by this man when I was as a teenager; all the way in Zimbabwe, where I grew up. In Zim we used to have 'niteclubs' for teenagers. But the teen sessions were done between 12 midday to 7pm. They were called teen scenes. The songs The Boy is Mine and his remix of J Lo's If you Had My Love were my favorite and they were real dance-floor-fillers. That opening bassline on If You had My Love with three pints of lager inside you and full of raging teenage hormones in the middle of a daytime nightclub - man you felt like you were in heaven.

Never got to make music but I'm proud to see him still here and now he's getting his credit.

I LOVE hearing these stories about Michael Jackson! They are so meaningful and so ROYAL! Like, he was THAT guy! There is a part of me that just canning believe he did anything to a child. I’m all about believing the victim, but something never hits right when I hear people talk about Michael and the HELL they put him through.

As U hear He was a monster in business and a black man.....many ppl wanted Him dead. Knowing MJ personally he was not that sick man media wanted Him to see. He was overcaring coming fom parentification but its never a sexual thing. Ppl dont understand what is overcaring but instead of getting to know they judge. MJ should have moved from US in the 90's, btw. He was a highly intelligent, wild ,open minded ,strong man with a special kinda humor I loved.
