"Michael Jackson" is the first single released by Sacramento, California rapper Pref1x. The song is a tribute to Michael Jackson, his inspiration in music.
Overview
editThe song begins with a melodic chorus, supposedly a chorus sung by Janet Jackson that Pref1x later used. The song then moves on to talk about Pref1x as a young child growing up surrounded by Jackson's music. As the song continues, Pref1x makes references to popular songs by Jackson. At the end of the song, Pref1x repeats "no more passing of your icons" and "the passing of an icon" a few times as the chorus returns, then to end the song.
