HipHopPow is crying for the memory of one of a kind: Michael Jackson (29th August, 1958 - 25th June, 2009) who died tonight after honorable time and creation in our generation.
I saw Micheal in 1993 at the "Dangerous World Tour" and I am a fan since I was a kid. Already had plans for the O2 "This Is It" comeback concerts for 2009.
We got you the most notable Hip Hop songs used Michael Jackson samples & interpolations (from Biggie's "One More Chance" to Ice Cube "You Know How We Do It").
Also scroll down (or click here) for classic rap guest performances for Michael by Heavy D, The Notorious B.I.G & Jay-Z.
