Posted June 27, 200916 yr 7KlCEY8cb6c The Game, Usher, Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, & Boyz II Men - Better On The Other Side The track was produced by DJ Khalil and completed on the morning of June 26, 2009 with its radio debut the next morning. The song pays homage to the musical genius and towering legacy of The King of Pop, mere hours after his untimely death on June 25, 2009 at age 50. The Michael Jackson Tribute song Better on the Other Side lyrics, music and production were completed in a remarkably short time, with The Game instigating the project. DJ Skee told MTV News: “I told Game yesterday that Michael Jackson died, and he didn’t believe me. He said, ‘I’ll call you right back…Then this morning, he hit me with this track, and I immediately started blasting it out. Game was in the studio with Diddy at the time I called. He reached out to Chris Brown and Usher and also got Boyz II Men, who so happened to be recording in the same studio.” The song had its debut on Los Angeles radio station Power 106 on June 27, 2009 on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” and on the DJ Skee satellite radio show, “Skeetox.” Here are some of the Michael Jackson Tribute Song Better On The Other Side Lyrics: The Game (in explaining lyrically, the impetus of the song): “First thing I did when I heard was call Puff, cause him and Mike tried to stop the beef between us. Who is us? Me and 50, that beef is dead and the young Mike Jackson gone take us to the ledge,” he rap Chris Brown on the hook: “This the type of song that make the angels cry / Look up in the sky and I wonder why / Why you had to go, go? I know it’s better on the other side.” Diddy concluding: People can say what they want about you. We gonna remember the miracles that you showed us. Through your music, through your dance. You were the one that made us realize that you are the world. Through us your legacy lives on, Mike Jackson.” The MJ Tribute song Better On The Other Side celebrates the lifetime achievements of the King of Pop who was twice induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame won 13 Grammy Awards and had worldwide album and singles sales totaling more than 750 million, with his 1982 Thriller album the best selling album in music history and preserved in the Library of Congress. What do you think?
June 28, 200916 yr I think the song itself is awful. :( Is that really the best they could come up with artists wise too? Most of them aren't even relevant anymore!
June 28, 200916 yr I hope it doesn't become a hit, purely because of the fact that Chris Brown features in it.
June 28, 200916 yr I think the song itself is awful. :( Is that really the best they could come up with artists wise too? Most of them aren't even relevant anymore! They had two days. How good can it be, really :lol:
June 28, 200916 yr They had two days. How good can it be, really :lol: I didn't mind that. :o Because I liked it. :D
June 29, 200916 yr They had two days. How good can it be, really :lol: Exactly ... why didn't they just leave it for a bit and try and come up with something decent then? :P Theres no rush I don't think!
June 29, 200916 yr Appalled Chris Brown is involved in this. He doesn't deserve to be in music anymore.
June 29, 200916 yr LOVE IT!! seriously been on repeat the whole day!! i dont know who sings the long note at the beginning but WOW!!!
June 30, 200916 yr Author IeIXzK0GLnU The Game - Better On The Other Side [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Here is the official video. A very understated tribute. Although I agree with others they might have been better to hang fire until the weekend for it to be released for airplay.
June 30, 200916 yr They should've used some MJ clips, but anyway, that's decent enough for a video. ;)
July 1, 200916 yr considering who's involved, I don't know how much better it would've been if they'd taken some more time....but for now, the fact that it came out so fast serves as a perfect excuse as to why it's so craptastic :P
