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

Posted Fri 3 Jul 2009 8:01AM NZST 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.

How Dare You shut up! Chris Brown is a huge fan of Michael Jackson just like everyone artist is an every kind of music there is. Michael Jackson made what music is today. Pppl need to respect that and respect the man who shape what music is today. Who cares if Chris is in it they are singing a song to the man who made em what they are today. So give it a rest How Dare You.

R.I.P Michael Jackson you will live on forever in your music and through your true fans

It's great that everyone has come together for a tribute to Micheal and he willed be missed, and yes, Chris i am glad you are not letting your miss hap keep you from performing, you are great and have a lot of talent to share, my personal thought men are not to hit women,but women are not to hit men, sometimes its hard to walk away when someone is clawing at you, if you are man or womwn enough to pass a lick, be women or man to take one, sometimes we as women need to keep our hands to our self.

This is a very nice thing they did for MJ.. and regardless of what Chris Brown did he loved Michael Jacskson so he deserves to show his respects!!! So everybody needs to shutup and leave the boy alone and just pay your respects to Michael, because this song isn't about Chris Brown it's about the legend, the king of pop who we all loved MICHAEL JACKSON!!

I am shocked that any one is complaining about the cost of the memorial. Have people forgotten that Michael Jackson gave millions and helped raise millions for the poor and sick. Isn't that worth some thing. He was not just the king of pop. Michael Jackson gave more to this world then he ever took. Some one like that is a true loss to the whole world. I hope all people remember what he gave the world.

Great song and people need to let is go......Chris Brown is a young man trying to grow and I hope he now knows that no matter what there is no reason to hit anyone/Let the young man be and if you do not like him then do not talk about him.....Just carry on doing what you do
