![[Mixtape] J.Period - Man Or The MusicIn the world of DJs, it is common practice to pay tribute to an artist the moment they pass. Biggie, 2Pac, Jay Dilla: stature grows exponentially the moment life expires, and once-critics praise genius once deceased. Artists become icons, and followers abound. As a DJ, I have always resisted the posthumous-tribute trend. Until now.Last night, when I heard the news of Michael Jackson’s death, I thought first about the man: damaged, bizarre, cartoonish, tragic. I sighed the way you do when a sad story comes to an end.But then I turned on his music. Song after song, album after album - like listening for the first time - and I was floored. Years of tabloid gossip, freakshow antics and facial reconstruction may have poisoned our perception of the man… but nothing can poison this music. And it occurred to me, more than anything else, that will define the legacy of Michael Jackson.In the history of music’s bizarre personalities and tragic stories, no artist’s music will ever eclipse the perversity of the man quite like Michael Jackson. Our love of Kanye can only survive so many ego-rants. Not even R.Kelly’s brilliant songwriting can outshine his extra-curricular activities forever. But no matter what Michael Jackson did during his life, nothing could change the way we feel about his music.So today, in an unprecedented move, I join the ranks of what will undoubtedly be 8 million DJ tributes with my own Michael Jackson tribute, entitled “Man or the Music.” It is no “greatest hits,” no “best of” mix like J.Period fans have come to know. It is simply a stream-of-consciousness mix of my own personal favorite Michael Jackson records, plus some unreleased rarities and demo versions of MJ classics. No matter what you think of the man, I hope you enjoy the music.Download: J.Period - Man Or The Music](http://26.media.tumblr.com/qyFuE6T3jp72tfla7lF5bKRwo1_400.jpg)

J.PERIOD & G. BROWN: MARCH 9/09 THE COMPLETE COLLECTION
Produced over the course of 2 years by J.Period and DJ G. Brown, March 9/09: The Complete Collection brings together both sides of B.I.G. in one of the illest Biggie remix projects ever produced. Volume 1 chronicles Biggie’s dark storytelling with a collection of gangster tales over sinister musical landscapes—crime-saga tales in the spirit of Scarface, King of New York & Menace II Society. Volume 2 delivers the other side of B.I.G.’s persona—The Player President—guaranteed to pack dance floors as only Big Poppa could do. Released today as a Limited Time Only Free Download at http://www.jperiod.com/march909,March 9/09: The Complete Collection is over 80 tracks of exclusive remixes, including previously unreleased, outtakes, 12” singles and bonus material, all paying tribute to Brooklyn’s Finest, The Notorious B.I.G.DOWNLOAD
