Exclusive: Michael Jackson Unreleased Album With Tupac Shakur
IN answer to the question as to how you make money from Michael Jackson’s death, comes news that the singer had a library of 100 unreleased songs.
At an average of 10 songs an album, that gives 10 albums-worth of new material. Eat your heart out Tupac Shakur, who after his death has, to date, only managed to release four new No.1 albums.
As the Times reports:
It is rumoured, given the parlous financial situation of his estate, that any such recordings will not be kept private for long. It is understood that Jackson may have gone to the grave under debts of about $400 million (£240 million) – though some believe the true figure may be much higher.
Rumoured. Believe. May.
This is the kind of factual reporting that will keep Jackson in the news for years. It is also rumoured that Jackson was to join the Taliban and fly a dolphin to the sun. Though some believe the plan to be much more daring.
Sales of Michael Jackson’s music and memorabilia have already begun to soar. In America, the Thriller album is number one on iTunes, while his Number Ones album has now reached the top spot on the UK iTunes chart.

The reporter is clearly an idiot… “Eat your heart out Tupac Shakur”?? Shakur died at the age of 25 with “HUNDREDS” of unreleased recordings, and that was after 5 blockbuster movies, around 30 music videos, and a 10 month gap inprisonment during his 7 year rap career. Michael Jackson died at 50 after a lifetime in the music industry since he was a child. Shakur’s work-ethic cannot be compared to any artist dead or alive, because he was the hardest working artist ever hands down. He has had 9 official discs worth of “unheard” music released since his death, as well as countless other various “unheard” tracks on compilations and other albums. Now if we’re talking entertainment, then Michael Jackson wins that award easily. He simply couldn’t/can’t be matched by Shakur or anyone else in comparison. His singing, dancing, and overall presence was higher than any….
On a side note, back in 1996 Michael Jackson & Tupac were going to record a song or songs together when music producer QD3 - son of legendary Quincy Jones was producing songs for 2Pac’s last album (before he was killed) but Michael was going through a divorse or re-marriage at that point so it never went through. Tupac was also engaed to Quincy Jones daughter so had Shakur lived, those 2 may have done some work together

Right everyone. Name your top five MJ songs. Piece of piss. Now name me one Tupac song…… No, me neither. Although I don’t think rapping (I call it moaning to music) qualifies as a “song”. Sorry Tupac fans, he just doesn’t do it for me. Tho’ I like Fifty and a few others quite a bit.
