Discussion on Michael Jackson's Impact

The history books are not true.

It's a lie. The history books are lies.

You need to know that. You must know that.

It's time for a change.

Let's not leave this building and forget what has been said.

Put it into your heart, put it into your subconscious mind,

and let's do something about it.

Because it's been a long, long time coming,

and a change has got to come.

Man, I met him one time in South Africa.

He happened to be there. I happened to be there.

And he had a list of books

lined up all along the floor.

And I looked over and I said, yo, Mike, you know,

people just send you stuff like that.

He says, no, that's what I read. I mean,

he had everything from the autobiography of Malcolm X,

Eat to Live. He had Sri Aurobindo, Krishnamurti.

We sat there three hours, man,

chopping it up about all of this,

from metaphysics to psychology to how the black man is treated.

People don't know about Mike on The Real.

Mike had a consciousness that could blow your mind.

And he was definitely trying to heal the world

in his own way. Michael Jackson, man.
