Michael Jackson’s Hip Hop Connect Jay-Z speaks about the impact of the Legends death and Jackson sang on his track “Girls, Girls, Girls” from the original Blueprint album!!!

In the an issue of NME Jay-Z pays tribute to legend Michael Jackson, and in doing so he revealed a piece of music history that until now was unknown.

I try to look for the meaning in things that happen, and it was a tragedy that Michael Jackson passed away, especially for his kids. But on the other side, I think it gave Michael a chance to be celebrated for the genius he was without all the other stuff in the way, and I don’t know if that would ever have happened had he been alive.

He played a concert with me in New York, which was great. He got up and he walked out and the place went mental, guys were just grabbing their hats and throwing them like, “Aiiiiiiiiiieeeeee!”

After that, he did a song called ‘You Rock My World’, and I did a remix with him.

Then he was on my song ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’, singing these background vocals and I didn’t even put his name on it. I remember him calling me and him just talking about, you know, ‘syncopation’ and musician stuff like that. The Michael Jackson I knew was just a musician who loved music.
