    Yes, look into the man. He composed a shitload of his music.

    I personally don’t even like the man’s musical output. That said, I can recognize genius. The man was nothing short of a musical genius with very few I could even list next to him, perhaps with the exceptions of Stevie, Herbie, Prince, Eno, and other brilliant minds. The guy was out of his tree, but on a level of musicality most people can’t even grasp.

      Only two and one co-written on Off the Wall and three and one co-written on Thriller (although they are bangers). He did write most of Bad but anything outside of that is imo sub-par. I’m not denying he had a lot of talent but I think he’s far from a virtuoso.

          Not trolling. I don’t find his solo work without Quincy Jones that exceptional. Granted the Jones stuff is amazing but Michael wasn’t able to replicate that on his own.
