Michael Jackson was the last person to truly have it, and this episode makes the case for why the world will never make another. Everybody throws his name around \u2014 Kanye, Beyonc\u00e9, Chris Brown, Usher, even Taylor Swift \u2014 but SaVon and Yassy, joined by Karl aka FilmGawd, break down the seven buckets that made Michael Jackson untouchable, why the biopic worked for casuals but lost the real fans, and a Mount Rushmore of the artists who get closest \u2014 knowing none of them actually reach him. The thesis: universal fame is structurally over, and he was the last of it.  Become a member of blankSLATE on Patreon \u2014 ad-free listening, early access, and a direct hand in shaping the show.
