WILL.I.AM SAYS NEW MJ ALBUM IS, 'DISRESPECTFUL'

Just Sad. Will.i.am tells Entertainment Weekly,  "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are ... He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful. There's no honoring."

His biggest issue, it seems, is using unfinished MJ tracks, something he feels the King of Pop never would have stood for: "Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they’re finished , Maybe if I never worked with him I wouldn’t have this perspective. He was very particular about how he wanted his vocals, the reverb he used, he was that hands-on."

It's worth noting ... the album is put out by Sony, through Michael's estate. So Michael's kids are the ones who stand to make money off this.


Tell 'em why you mad, Will.
