Warren G on unreleased Michael Jackson tracks
Warren G says MJ reached out to him for beats, and there are tracks between them still sitting in a vault. What stands out is the advice Warren G gave him: make a record aimed at everyone working to tear you down. Turns out Michael listened. "I said man talk about these people trying to take you down, do a song about that, and he did a couple of those songs." A few of those cuts got recorded, and they've stayed unreleased.
