The Game, Chris Brown, Diddy Record Michael Jackson Tribute Song

Posted Thu Jul 2, 2009 1:01pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

The Game, Chris Brown, Diddy, Boyz II Men, and Polow Da Don teamed up to record a tribute to Michael Jackson, "Better On The Other Side."

The Game provides the bulk of the lyrics, sharing personal experiences as a kid who grew listening to Michael's music. Chris Brown and Wayna Morris from Boyz II Men also offer lead vocals.

They recorded this song immediately and released it Friday, June 26, the day following Michael's passing to cardiac arrest. It's a good track. You can feel the sincerity in each of the artists' vocals.

Michael, i wish i could come to America and pay my last tribute to you but couldn't get the chance. I really love your songs especially "Your are not alone". I can really say that, that song really touches my heart anytime i play and at the time i heard that Michael is no more, i use to cry anytime i play the song. Micheal, you've really shown to the world the talent God gave you. I wish you all the best in your journey. I also appreciate Chris Brown and Co. for that special tribute song. Chris, take heart and stand firm no matter what people will say against you, God will be there by your side. Michael, Rest In Peace! Rest In Peace!!Rest In Peace,!!!

Great Tribute. I love all the artist who contributed to this song for MJ. All I have to say to the others about Chris Brown is it is over he made a mistake and he will learn from it as many of us do. Who are we to judge we all have made our share of mistakes the whole world just does not know them. If God can forgive us why can't yall forgive CB. God Bless! R.I.P. MJ

This is the time to pay tribute to MJ and people is commenting on Chris Brown appearance in this song. These are the same people sleeping with somebody else man, husbands or whoever. Get over it! You don't even know the story behind all that. If you put more thought and focus in your own life, you would not have time to worry about somebody else. It is nice to see him help pay tribute to MJ. My God bless them all!!
