Was it really out of “vengeance?”
If you’re into Rock ‘n’ Roll history, then you probably know the famous Paul McCartney anecdote of how he and Michael Jackson, who collaborated on the 1983 hit track “Say, Say, Say” began talking about music publishing. In fact, Paul suggested that the King of Pop do it, to which Jackson joked that he was going to buy up all of Paul’s work.
Paul said he laughed at this, but then later found out Jackson wasn’t joking — he did indeed by his music catalog. But did Jackson buy Eminem’s too?
Did Michael Jackson really buy Eminem’s entire music catalog?
Not exactly, but he did buy rights to his music. Unlike the aforementioned instance regarding Paul McCartney of The Beatles fame, where both he and Jackson seemed to have a pretty great working relationship with one another, Jackson’s reasoning for buying Eminem’s song catalog seems to have been done out of revenge.
If you recall, the year was 2004. There was tons of really long white t-shirts being rocked by everyone everywhere. For some reason, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore collaborated on major hip-hop tracks with top rappers like Twista and Kanye West — the chipmunk voice was omnipresent.
