JD is not happy with the treatment of Michael Jackson from mainstream media. We must admit, shorty has a hell of a point:

HOT COVER WACK @SS TITLE. SEE THIS IS THE SH*T THAT…
… PISSES ME OFF PEOPLE WANNA USE THIS MAN TO MAKE THEM MONEY BUT CONTINUE TO THROW LIL SNEAK DISSES. AS FAR AS ANY FAN WOULD SAY, HE WAS COOL HIS WHOLE LIFE. I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE FANS ARE THE ONES THAT’S GONNA MAKE THIS COVER SELL 3 TIMES MORE MAGAZINES THAN THE LAST ONE SO WHY TITLE IT THIS?

  • Pokahontaz

    And all this comes from the man who was spotted by TMZ getting a damn hotdog the day of MJ’s funeral?! Please don’t tell me he’s labeling himself a fan, yet didn’t support Janet by staying by her side during the funeral or memorial. Overall I do agree that the title is beyond disrespectful and insensitive.

    HE WAS THE BEST.. SO GIVE THE MAN IS PROPS.. RIP

  • Des

    I hear you JD that is some BS

  • http://bossip.com fabolous

    K.O.P.(king of pop) the greatest

  • Jacko was wacko

    Jacko is getting the negative coverage that he desrves. Dude was a freak show who got away with molesting children only because he was famous. 30 years from now won’t nobody be singing his praise as they do Elvis Presley 30 years later. That’s because Elvis wasn’t a wacko like Jacko. We black folks always gotta glorify the wrong poeple in our community.

  • barb

    RIP MJ…the greatest that ever done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • tj

    Why title it this? Probably to get the publicity you just gave them.

  • White Devil

    Michael Jackson was king when Thriller came out. A year ago he was a freakshow and nowhere near as “cool” as he was back then. Who can really argue that?

    Ho, sit down.

    And LMAO@ Pokahontas. That made no sense whatsoever.

    As for GQ….if you’re going to have a tribute to someone, why dis them in the process? WTF, that makes no sense.

  • Resurrected

    How about this title when people use to bye GQ… I tell you these people have no respect for other people family… The truth is people are seeing that is albums are making a killing and they are trying to get into that money market under any means necessary and drama usually pulls more people…

  • soulwoman

    And? What is GQ saying that hasn’t been posted on these blogs. Amazing to me how everyone is suddenly acting like they wasn’t clowning MJ before he died. Many people have talked about how MJ was better back in the day and how he went downhill. At least GQ is being fake like others.

  • Sticky-n-Sweet

    Jermaine, Janet is done, okay? Done. So just stop with the faux outrage…

  • MS. BG

    They shouldn’t disrespect this man like that. I think that title is very rude. They could have come up with something better than that.

  • Judy

    Everybody is entitled to their own opinion whether we agree with it or not but I do feel Jermaine 100%.I betcha when Woody Allen dies they will forget all about him marrying his adopted daughter and glorify him to til no end*smh*

  • Resurrected

    I wonder can you sue for slander even when someone is dead, MJ had a big legacy and he does have children as well that need to feel and see the good of there father… People can be so careless… If there was a way then I would try the FAM has enough money to go through some of the battles…

  • Back On My Swag

    fuk GQ!!

  • Dominique Devereaux

    People WILL still be talking about Michael Jackson FOREVER he is a muscial icon.

    “…glorify the wrong people?…” You mean like Elvis?

  • 6.25. 09

    elvis was know better then micheal.

  • Resurrected

    6.25.09

    By who new generation and I can tell ain’t no one thinking about evis but people in his area or generation…

  • 6.25. 09

    yes GQ is wrong for this.

  • Resurrected

    Riley

    If you really feel that way why visit a site about him?

  • ROCKKIE

    As far as the child molestation. He was aquitted. It also came out the the child lied for his parents who did not want to live poor.

    As far as JD is concerned. you need a little 15 min of fame. what the light is dimming on you, You and GQ need to find a toilet to jump in and flush yourselves.

  • Jacko was wacko

    @Resurrected- you’d b surprised at how many tenneagers and young adults are feeling Elvis than Jacko. Go to Myspace or Twitter and you’ll see what I mean.

  • Ms.Ajje

    That second family was a bunch of lying dogs who tried to exploit many stars (Chris Tucker Jay Leno and George Lopez) who supported cancer charities convicted of welfare fraud and had sued for sexual abuse befor when they got caught stealing they wanted money and thought MJ would pay. But you dont know that because you to stupid or lazy to research something and want to actually believe the bull the media feeds you.

  • Deon

    He could at least spell article correctly

  • Ms.Ajje

    Idiots on here today im out!

  • Ms.Ajje

    Too much stupidity today im out!

  • nickfudge

    i don’t even buy GQ…and i especially won’t now!

  • Natalie

    I read the GQ article and it is one of the most thoughtful, unbiased article I have read on MJ since his death. Great journalism on the writers behalf. I agree the title leaves a bit to be desired but I tell you the content of the actual article is great. There are alot of little things in the article about MJs work the many people have never been exposed to before. I encourage people to at least read the article online before dismissing it. GQ did make a mistake with the title though.

  • I HATE THE “N” WORD

    Alright Little MAN Calm Down. So I guess if you that upset the rumors about him and J must be just that rumors.

  • jandsmama

    I just want Mini Me to learn how to spell. Artical? C’mon now…

  • Miss Kesha (twitter .com/miss_kesha)

    MJ was the greatest entertainer that ever lived and he was loved by so many. R.I.P MJ.

  • LIL’ SALLY (LOGGING ONTO BOSSIP FOR THE FIRST TIME)

    With the advent of ‘Twitter,’ we get to see how illiterate some of these stars are. ‘Artical’?

    Yep, I had to refill my notebook with loose leaf paper

  • Sorry but …

    fans dont decide who is cool and who isnt ..their biased duh!

  • Man, You Sound Stupid

    @JACKO WAS WACKO

    ELVIS MARRIED A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL. Please don’t come on this site calling Michael any kind of child molester and then comparing him to Elvis. He had way more talent than Elvis anyway. Yeah, I said it. Michael was the real KING.

  • Man, You Sound Stupid

    @ the girl who spelled Pocohontas wrong

    So what are you saying? Was JD suppose to fast for Michael’s funeral? It’s MJ, not Jesus Christ. Gimme a break.

  • kd

    wooooooooow

    so can we focus on what he was saying on not on jd his damn self?

    he has a point. everyone talked crap aboutmj but they went to his memorial. very FEW of those people had his back when he needed them.

    mariah?
    diddy?
    brooke shieilds?

    shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz look, mj is the reason all thse clowns have a chance to make asses of themselves on mtv. if it weren’t for mj, there’d be no bet. he paved the way so if u wanna talk about that, then do so.

    and elvis? mj was wacko YET mj OWNED elvis…and every other ‘white’ icon so um….yea…

  • kd

    who cares what the article says? it’s all in how they word it. u can’t expect someone to know it’s positive and what fan would actually buy that?

    i remember when gq was amazing and had the REAL articles like

    ‘was michael jackson framed’ by mary fischer…try reading that and bump this crap

  • bri

    damn some of yall are so rude. michael deserves some respect. this title is whack, i mean seriously don’t put him on the cover if ur gonna say something stupid

  • dion

    that’s a cute picture to bad they had to kill it with the title.

    michael will ALWAYS be cool, haters fall back

  • kate

    Justin Timberlake is cool, Usher is cool…..
    Michael Jackson is legend!

  • Bohwe

    But I will say this no matter what changes MJ did to his face over the years, there was always something cute about his face. I think it was his doe eyes. So sad that MJ didn’t like the wa he looked. He was always attractive. And yes I said always. I can’t believe he allowed haters to control his self-esteem.

  • ARKANSAS HAS SPOKEN

    Jacko was wacko

    Jacko is getting the negative coverage that he desrves. Dude was a freak show who got away with molesting children only because he was famous. 30 years from now won’t nobody be singing his praise as they do Elvis Presley 30 years later. That’s because Elvis wasn’t a wacko like Jacko. We black folks always gotta glorify the wrong poeple in our community.
    ________________________________________________

    ELVIS WAS CONSIDERED A RACIST DRUG ADDICT WHO STOLE A LOT FROM THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN HIS STYLE OF MOVES AND MUSIC………..I DONT BELIEVE MJ MOLESTED ANYONE…….HE NEVER PAID OUT TO ANYONE……THE INSURANCE DID THAT……IF SOMEONE MOLESTED MY CHILD THEY WOULD GET MORE THAN A SLAP ON THE FUGGIN WRIST I DONT CARE IF THEY ARE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD….SO SHUT THAT UP NOW

  • http://IMJUSTSAYING ANOPENMIND

    Michal Jackson is worthy of our respect. In the end, he beat the music industry at their own game. He owned the Beatles catalog, as well as other artists music (including Elvis) and he called the shots. As a matter of fact, his troubles did not start until he surpassed Elvis, which white folks could not take. Whatever you might think of him he was a serious businessman when it came to making money. This is why his family is set for life right now. He knew how to play the game. Name another artist out there that even comes close to his fame and notoriety, not to mention his music. The man was a genius. He purposely did oddball things and changed his appearance and it kept the public interested in him for just that reason. We were never bored with Michael, he kept our curiosity about him going for years. That’s quite a feat. Also Michael was never broke, as the media claims, and never could be as long as he owned the Beatle catalogs. Sony has been trying to destroy his career because of this, but he would not break. He was a very smart man in all that he did and a very giving person who shared his wealth with the less fortunate – Oprah has nothing on Michael Jackson in this area, and he did not boast about it, unlike Oprah which is why you just found out. The man had a big heart. Elvis does not even come close to Michael Jackson. He is and will always be the King of Pop and so much more to so many. Believe the lies of the media about him if you want, but you need to do your research in order to get the full picture of who this man really was. This was greatness that you won’t see any time soon in this lifetime.

  • It’s me!

    I agree with Jermaine. They keep doing this on Jane-Velez Mitchell and Nancy Grace for ratings. Nothing but haters.
    Speaking of haters, Michael was not a child molester. He was found not guilty across the board, and no parnet in their right mind settles for $22,000,000 when their child was molested; no amount of money deal with the scars from abuse, and I speak as a survivor of sexual abuse. One of the parents was connected to welfare fraud.
    As far as Michael’s skin bleaching, he did that to even his skin out because he suffered from vitiligo. I have friends who suffer from the same disease. The face and hands lose pigmentation, but they do not have the same scrunity Michael did; always having to be this for the fans.
    Michael was the commsumate performer, but an even better humanitarian, and greedy people took advantage of his big heart, especially Dr. Conrad Murray. He’s the victim, still.

  • It’s me!

    Elvis was number one to White America; Michael was number one to Black America, White America, and even the world. Michael gave out more of his own substance to help poor kids, but cowards like Lil Wayne hasn’t done a thing for those less fortunate, yet he can call Michael a fag…
    when Michael died, a big chunk of real music and real humanness went with him, and he will forever be mourned…and the participants who killed him…they will have to answer….
    Dr. Murray: whether you are out of jail or in jail, you are on deathrow.
