Kleiner Scherz! Das wird schon klappen, sind wahrscheinlich grad Mehrere am Runterladen.

Once again, I would like to thank everyone who has downloaded my MAN IN THE MIRROR dedication album, and I know that you are enjoying Hip-Hop as it is intended to be heard.

This album was made because I am a fan of not only Michael Jackson, but of great music, in general. I have been listening [recently]to some of the remixes of MJ's 25th anniversary of THRILLER, and my analysis is that they're... aight... but personally, as a fan, I expected a bit more. I put my heart into this ish and took a risk to bring you an edgy, creative, refreshing perspective of Michael Jackson in rare form.

He is the mutha****ing King of Pop, man! He is the father of any artist you perceive to be a pop star, running around the music industry today. Mike has a chance [with his new project] to show his children how it should be done.

I feel as though [right now] everybody is playing it safe. You know: the regular cast of characters. I would love to speak to Michael Jackson as a fan to say "One album. One producer. Two, at most."

Anything else runs the risk of sounding like a mixtape. Remember: I'm only speaking as a fan.

I mean, damn: how hot would it be to hear Michael Jackson over a Just Blaze track or a Dap Kings instrumental? Hell, even The Roots? With Timbaland at the helm as the executive producer? That's the edginess I'm talking about. I know this may never happen, but a rapper can dream, can't he?

I don't, however, believe that my desire to meet with the king should be restricted to just a dream. And for this, I need your help.

I would like to meet Michael Jackson. And hopefully, all of you will make enough noise about this dedication album to reach his ears high on the throne. I would like to reenact our 'cipher' skit live on camera.

I would like to ask him some real questions, respectfully, that I know no one has ever asked him. Naw. Matter of fact, you know what? I am going to meet Michael Jackson, so please stay tuned as I petition through letters, blogs and public pleas to meet one of the greatest musicians of our time, Michael Jackson!

Peace,
Fest

I've talked to Rhymefest a couple of times on another forum and he's really nice

RECORDINGS
Rhymefest's Jackson remix is a thriller

By Greg Kot|Tribune music critic
January 15, 2008

The Michael Jackson revival is in full swing. A 25th anniversary edition of "Thriller," his biggest album, is scheduled for release next month, and Jermaine Jackson says there will be a Jackson 5 reunion tour this year that includes his most famous brother. Bottom line is that Jackson is still an icon, despite a litany of tabloid indiscretions that would've crushed most careers and reputations.

But Jackson also hasn't made much compelling new music in at least decade. And I doubt that any of the Michael-is-back projects will equal the artistic inventiveness (or the affordability) of the latest release from South Side rapper Rhymefest, who just released "Man in the Mirror (The Michael Jackson Dedication Album)" as a free download on his Web site, rhymefest.com.

The release is musical contraband; it flouts copyright law and dips into the Jackson back catalog, including a trove of audio interviews. It rearranges this material into a fascinating virtual collaboration between two artists of different generations who have never met. Gimmicky as it sounds, sparks fly. Jackson hasn't had such a provocative and inspired collaborator since he was working with producer Quincy Jones.

Such legally dicey remix projects have been a crucial part of the hip-hop underground for at least a decade and survive in part because they're usually low profile and low profit. Rhymefest says he lost money paying for studio time to make "Man in the Mirror," and isn't going to make a penny off its release.

What's more, Rhymefest is clearly a fan; he digs beyond the obvious hits in songs stretching across five decades. Even his jokes at Jackson's expense are affectionate rather than mean-spirited. The humor is one of the disc's greatest charms. Rather than coming off as a freak, Jackson is portrayed as a gentle eccentric with musical chops to burn.

Chopped and spliced into the audio equivalent of a buddy film by Rhymefest and his longtime producer Mark Ronson, the disc humanizes Jackson through mock conversations; they range from juvenile jokes to a poignant exchange on race relations. Jackson acts as a virtual catalyst, his performances on vintage tracks inspire potent new songs. Best of all is "No Sunshine," in which Jackson's impassioned interpretation of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" courses through an equally fierce Rhymefest meditation on the traps of ambition. "You ever wanted something so bad 'til you got it," Rhymefest asks, "and it loses all the magic and it just don't feel exotic?"

"Man in the Mirror" brings out the best in both artists. It's prime Rhymefest, a prelude to his forthcoming album, "El Che," due out through more legitimate channels later this year. And it adds up to the best Michael Jackson album in nearly two decades — even though he may not even know it exists.
