He’s the one saying “Je’t adore” at the beginning. Case solved.

I do not think so. I know Biz Markee and Q-Tip are on the joint.But If you listen to the original,That definitely is Tom Brock. MJ would`ve added his own style to it. It is natural for him to do it. If you listen to ” All I Do” on Stevie Wonder`s “Hotter Than The 4th Of July” ,you could hear him out of everyone on that song. His voice was just that recognizable.. So I can`t believe that.

It’s possible when I first heard the cut I thought it was MJ on background vocals

Wikipedia is stating it’s actually the REMIX version of “Girls, Girls, Girls”. I went back and listened and it’s quite possible. You can hear someone singing under the sample!

“If it is indeed the case, this puts a whole new spin on the Blueprint classic and will forever change the way we listen to the song. Listen and decide for yourself after the cut…”

I don’t see how it changes the song at all, it doesn’t make the song any better or worse… just because there is a dead MJ on it…

no, it’s the sample going “ooh babyyy” which is Tom Brock. unless he sang himself over the “ooh baby”, we can hardly know. Who cares! it’s kinda weird for this to come out of all of a sudden.

wait, you remade the beat, so therefore he didn’t sing in the original version?

i remade this beat, he definitely didn’t sing over it, and if he did you can barely notice.

Here is the acapella from the Blueprint Remix Contest (the remix not the original)

Listen to the following:
1:09 – the backup vocals, low falsetto that sound like MJ.
1:18 – you can hear a male falsetto doing the lower harmony, this one isn’t as clear but still audible.

It isn’t bulls**t…. if you listen to the verse, he’s clearly singing the(all baby).

Here’s what went down.

Just Blaze already said that the track Jay’s talking about is Kanye’s Remix of Girls Girls Girls, not his version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M25lnBq4A0

here’s what make’s me think Jay’s tellin the truth.

1. why would he lie? what would be the point of him lying about this? ESPECIALLY when he knows that there’s people who would call bullshit; if this wasn’t true you KNOW Dame Dash would be in the media like “jay’s bullshittin”.

2. It’s a known fact that Michael liked doing background vocals for people he was a fan of/friends with. He sang backup on The Doobie Brothers’ song “Minute By Minute” & was Uncredited. There’s good reason for this….

3. do yall know how much it would cost to have MJ on your song, even if it’s just background vocals? It’s not like MJ can just say “i dont wanna charge” since he’s under contract with his record company. so by leaving his name off the credits it makes these little things a lot easier; i doubt MJ wanted a chunk of publishing for a track he’s barely audible on.

if you listen to the Girls Girls Girls Remix, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M25lnBq4A0 at 2:35, it’s probably the easiest place to (in my opinion) hear.

the “girls girls girls girls, girls i do adore” part…it sounds like a male & female vocal singing OVER the sample…if you know MJ’s vibrato it’s pretty easy (IMO) to tell that it’s him.

For the record, I only have to act like the smartest cat in the room when I’m on MIT campus or something.

Micheal Jackson’s name is a flat 30 points, Jay would basically be giving him the track. Of course, the days of “points” meaning anything might be gone here in 2009.

I’m all into conspiracy theories at the moment, so I believe it… Jay, Tip, Biz, Rick and MJ on the same track!!!???? This is a posse cut up there with Scenario and The Symphony!

It sounds more of Tom Brock.

@ Multiple Sex Partners
Don’t need to act as if you the smartest cat here. We’re all fans, not music business people.

Anyway. Apparently, according to a youtuber, they recorded MJ’s voice and then sped it up but i don’t know. Doesn’t sound like it though.
