Jermaine Jackson just needs to quit trying to be something he’s unable to be, that is be his brother’s legacy keeper. JJ‘s neither gifted nor sincere enough for that role. His latest venture, the opportunistic and grandiose scheme to hold a Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna (as if the King of Pop had any links to Austria!) is fast going south. Real fast! Already Mary J Blige and Chris Brown have declared Huh? Nuh-uh, no way! to Jermaine’s roll call as to those R&B acts headlining the show. Even the Jackson family have displayed displeasure at JJ’s staging the event in the first place, and none of the clan will be attending it.

JJ has a history with MJ as brothers in arms against one another. It all was borne from jealousy – Joe Jackson replaced JJ as lead singer of the Jackson 5 with the more talented MJ. So embittered was JJ that when the Jackson Five signed with Epic Records as The Jacksons, he split from the group and remained with Tamla Motown. The back-story only worsens from here on. Following Michael’s successful album “Bad,” Jermaine fired back with the diss single, “Word to the Badd!!.” Michael was livid and Jermaine was forced to rewrite the lyric to be about a former lover. Here’s the original song lyric:

What up yo, word to the badd

Reconstructed
Been abducted
Don’t know who you are
They may love you
they don’t know you
Lonely superstar
never think about who you love
only think about number one
You forget about where you started from
You only think about what you want
don’t care about how it’s done
you only think about you, your throne
Be it right or be it wrong

It ain’t about your world
It ain’t about the things that you do
If you don’t care, I don’t care
‘Cause you keep thinkin’ ’bout you
It ain’t about you takin’ my pie
You been takin’ for a long time
If you don’t care, I don’t care
If you keep
Well I ain’t thinkin’ ’bout you

What up yo, word to the badd

Once you were made
You changed your shade
Was your color wrong?
Could not turn back
It’s a known fact
You were too far gone
You know I tried to be there for you
Like a brother I care for you
It didn’t matter you always play me off
You only care about what you want
You don’t care about how it’s done
You only think about you, your throne
Be it right or be it wrong

It ain’t about your world
It ain’t about the things that you do
If you don’t care, I don’t care
Cause you keep thinkin’ ’bout you
It ain’t about you takin’ my pie
You been takin’ for a long time
If you don’t care, I don’t care
If you keep
Well I ain’t thinkin’ ’bout you
Oh no no, I ain’t thinkin’ ’bout you
Oh no

What up yo, word to the badd

Thinkin’ about that pie that you’ve been takin’ from me
From a brother to another brother hard to believe
Lost and don’t know it yet you still show it
Givin’ seems to be harder than it is to receive
The glass has gotten shady, time to make it clearer,
Clean it up and lets start with the Man in the mirror.
There’s sadness there brother, ain’t no mistaken it,
Get a grip cause you’re not far from breakin’ it.
Thinkin’ about the time when we used to be close,
It shouldn’t be past tense, cause nobody knows,
What the future may hold, what tomorrow might bring,
Its not guaranteed that you’ll be spreading your wings

But meanwhile, I continue to smile, cause in the back of my head,
I know you’re still a child
You say that your a man, but that will never be….
Gone too far, ya better turn back, I know who you are
You know where I’m at, sad but its true, from me to you.
Pick up the phone, Don’t be alone, step off the throne, come back home….

Have a listen to the original Jermaine disrespecting Michael song here:

Then there’s the as yet unpublished manuscript Jermaine co-wrote with “Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask” co-author Stacy Brown, which rains dirt down on his little brother, Michael. The book proposal, titled “Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst,” Jermaine cites his doubts to his brother’s innocence in the child molestation case; questions his sexuality and anti-semitism; lists his preferred substances as being Vicodin, Demerol, codeine, Percocet, cocaine, Jack Daniels, and wine; outlines his odd behavior and his negative character traits, such as he cheats and lies. Quite the tome for a brother to have penned while now claiming sincerity over the loss of Michael. Flip-flop, follow the money.

Digital Cheeseburger, bellows:

Don’t know who you’re trying to fool, Jermaine, but you ain’t fooling us, bro’.

  At least he’s trying to do something to make up for the troubles he had with Micheal, unlike his rotten dad.
