The untimely death of pop superstar Michael Jackson has left a hole in the music community. It has devastated fans both young and old, and musicians across all genres.
The Foreign Exchange and Little Brother emcee Phonte Coleman cites Michael Jackson as the main reason why he is where he is, and says Jackson’s death has hit him on both an emotional and personal level.
“Being a young kid, being a music fan — and growing up wanting to do music — to see somebody like Michael Jackson on the screen and to see him on such a huge level; it was really inspiring for kids like me who had dreams of doing music themselves,” Phonte said.
Despite his recent personal troubles and battles with the media, Michael Jackson’s influence and legacy will forever live on in the music industry — not just for his songs, but also his high-energy performances
“He really pushed the boundaries artistically with his videos,” Phonte said. “He really took it and made it an art form … When he was doing his videos, he was having movie directors do his stuff — he had John Landis who did ‘Thriller,’ he had Martin Scorsese who did ‘Bad,’ he had Spike Lee who did ‘They Don’t Care About Us‘ — so he was really pushing that boundary and making a true art form as far as videos go.”
[UPDATE] Phonte posted a well thought out blog addressing the controversy that Jackson faced in the later years of his life.
