Yea, the comparison was always forced.

Think it was because they didnt like eachother and were of a similar age and egos...

Ive heard some funny stories, think it was Mike Tyson that said that MJ knew Prince was drunk at show and not in a state to preform... MJ was called on stage to do some Moonwalking by James Brown, then MJ deliberately got Prince on stage too, to own him... Proper cold move by MJ haha

Then Mike talked about Prince trying to run over MJ!!! wtf

Also I watch the documentary where Quincy was arranging the 'We Are The World' song... He got all the stars of the day to join up after an awards show and they worked into the early hours of the morning, MJ and everyone showed up but Prince didnt come because MJ was there or something...

Hot Take: Bad is an overrated album. It's heralded amongst the greats on the back of some great nostalgic singles that are really only mid compared to Michael's best.

1. Thriller
2. Off the Wall
3. 1999
4. Purple Rain
5. Dangerous / Sign 'O' The Times
 
Another thing, this isn't Prince hate. Prince's actual top can't touch Mike's actual top.

The only artist I put on Mike's level is Stevie.

Prince would probably get 10 votes total if this was their best vs their best.
 
People that pick MJ over Prince weren't adults and outside in the 80s.

If you was 20 to 35 in the 80s, you was listening to street music, back when RnB was the predominant music of the streets, you listened to Prince, Rick James, Cameo, MTume and The Time.

You weren't getting any draws listening to MJ.

You weren't getting the party going listening to MJ.

Ain't nobody in a night club, a trap house, was like, "Hey, put on Thriller."

MJ is for children. Same for Stevie Wonder.

MJ and Stevie was what you put on for birthday parties and family gatherings.

If you was outside in the 70s, you was listening to Marvin Gaye, Rose Royce, Curtis Mayfield, and Barry White.
