(RECORDED DECEMBER 9, 2018) If you've been listening to us so far, we are sure you saw this coming. Both Prince Rogers Nelson and Michael Jackson have been polarizing figures in musical discussions for years; but they have also been seen by many as (for some reason) being musically blind to the issues facing us 'normal' people. To that we say... ARE YOU KIDDING??!! While MJ did not have as many scathing political sentiments on his albums, there were a few pivotal moments in his catalog that cannot be ignored. And Prince, well... Any close examination of his collection of tracks (and some interviews) will be more than enough evidence that his political commentary was consistent, at times covering a solid majority of an album. If one is indeed a 'fan', it would be curious to miss those messages on his albums.
Jesse/Jester and jamilah discuss these sociopolitical dynamics which drive inspiration for PRN and MJ songs, and why their significance matters.
