Yeah GQ is a bunch of crap for doing this tile and magazine about Michael… I will not be buying it..Screw GQ!
RIP MJ.. You are truly the best..
Micheal Jackon the Jackson 5 was always cool. I thkn we need to ban together and not buy this Article or any other article. lets show GQ who really has a voice the pourchasing power…. LOW BLOW by QG……
I agree JD, they’ll drop his name and images to sell copies, then they diss the hell out of him. The commemorative Time magazine is the same way in some spots. Al Sharpton said it best: there was nothing strange about Michael, it was strange what he had to go through. And it’s even more strange what he still endures, even in his death. So glad I cut my GQ subscription last year.
This is ridiculous. I have bought every magazine celebrating Michael since his death, but I’m going to have to really think about this one…
They really didn’t need to go there to sell magazines. People like myself are buying them as keepsakes. Not sure if I want this one. When he was cool? Really GQ that’s what it is? I’m tired of this bs.
Unfortunately, Jermaine that is the way of the world! They are putting Michael on the cover, because even in death he can make them millions. And you would think that that would give them pause for cause and that they would show respect. However, take solace, in knowing that the fans are not fooled. My condolences to the Jackson family. My twelve year old daughter loves MJ and we are still mourning our (the world’s) loss of such a great talent and human being.
Buying it will be like saying you agree with the stuff they said. Money is power people. Send them hoes a message and let their shit sit on the shelves.
MIKE HAS ALWAYS BEEN COOL!!!! HE WAS NEVER WACK HE’S A LEGEND A BEAST ALL OF THAT! GQ IS WRONG. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING THAT MAGAZINE! IM TIRED OF PEOPLE TALKING BAD ABOUT MIKE. NOBODY WILL SURPASS HIS CAREER AND THE THINGS HE DID AS FAR AS CHARITY. IM STILL SHOCKED THAT HE’S GONE.
YEA GQ WAS SNEAK DISSING…..CHURCH!!!!!!!!!
I ‘d like to say I’m surprised, but I’m not. A lot of the media outlets are disrespectful & tasteless. Mike’s music is timeless, some of the greatest writing & production you will EVER hear & he will NEVER be outsold. Mike’s follower (fans) determine how cool he is/was, not some magazine. Mike stole the show whenever he made an appearance, even if he stood there and said nothing. His presence spoke for itself.
they couldn’t think of else? well I got some for. they next should not have nobody on it and it should say: “GQ: we thought we were the best, but I guess we are just bull shit like the rest”. LOL LOL LOL
That was so disrespectful Not one of the many magizines I have gotten since his death say that show some respect for him,your magizine,and yourself that was just rude we all know he has always been bad and is the best!!!!!! and always cool I was hoping for him to come to the united states and tour after london even though I was going to london I knew he still had it but the damn media is pissing me off they need to get out their feelings and grow the fuck up really this man made magizines fly off the shelves he changed the world and that ment money for their motherfucking greedy ass they need to be thankful and stop being so negative I swear here we dont appreciate no one but over there in europe and every where else but the they get all the love that is a shame thats why he left the U.S cause we dont have know respect and always take things for granted and never show love he got to go to another country to hear all the screaming fans and people passing out and crying over him, the media drove him away R.I.P michael God is in control and see’s every thing
Fuck them bitches man….The Real Fans know what Michael is all about and we don’t give a fuck about the damn magazine and what they say. They talking shit the way they have always talk shit…but we still support the real him…fuck the media that is still trying to tear down his name (even when he’s resting in peace)…LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!
If they’re going to be disrespectful, they are better off just letting the man rest in peace. You were allowed to take shots at MJ when he was alive. But now that he is gone, it’s just good character to speak positively or not speak at all. Some people just weren’t raised right.
The media is sooooo FUCKED UP!!!!!!! JD, I so agree w/ u on this.,.,GQ is full of shit!! Well said @ Feeline!
This is just so disrespectful. I am so tired of the media portraying this man to be such a weirdo, but you wanna him on your cover to make you money. This man is gone to his final resting place and they still do not have enough decency to respect this man. The media scrutinized this man all his life and still doin it, how distasteful. It just burns me up. I emailed them about this and I will never pick up GQ mag. They should’ve been praising him cause it won’t be another Michael and nothin close to it. This man has a family for God sakes. GQ is full of shit
That’s that bullshit right there. SMH. I won’t be purchasing that…
WTF! I agree, MJ never stoped being cool!
THIS IS BULLSHIT, DONT FALL FOR IT!
Who is the author of the article? If we really want to give him a piece of out mind we should find out what his name is and his email address from the website and blow up his inbox.
Hot cover..i refuse to buy it tho based on the damn title..period! *shaking my head*
U know what i am sick of ppl riding the mj wave now to sell mags and stuff.I have always rode for mike and he has always been the shyt to me.I always got his message of unconditional love MJ didn’t see ppl for outside appearances only he wasn’t shallow and I saw him for the great person and humanitarian he was .GQ can go to hell.
If GQ was going to talk about the dark times, fine but that is not a tribute. Tribute means to honor, the title is trying to have it both ways (love&hate).
IF MJ EVER STOPPED BEING COOL, WHY ARE THEY USING HIM TO SELL THEIR MAGS NOW?! SMFH THIS IS THE TYPE OF MESS THAT PISSES ME OFF TOO MAN! THE NERVE!
GQ.. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WHY DO U BOTHER? Insulting a dead man…….under the heading of ‘TRIBUTE’
Look up Dictionary.com…..
–noun
1. a gift, testimonial, compliment, or the like, given as due or in acknowledgment of gratitude or esteem.
when Michael was cool? Mr.Jackson IS way beyond cool he IS amazing
A wah di RASS do dem ppl yah…wat dem mean seh wen Micheal was cool….he is cool and will always b cool because he is still loved by his fans and mi cyaah believe it, after him dead and gone dem still a diss di breda wid a headline like that. Hiss teeth.
If you’re going to pay homage to someone, why use that opportunity to throw jabs? That’s not a tribute. Don’t try to sell your wack ass magazine by putting MJ on the cover then dissing him on the same cover, calling it a tribute. Tribute my ass!
The fact that haters still talk trash at him shows he was the best of all time. Conspiracy against him only affected the unable to reed between the lines. The MJ fans who truly love michael are soooooooooooooooooooo much more than haters…MJ was the COOLEST dude throughout his life…
wat up jd nice cover of mj hate the title! were do these magazine come up with these dumb ass subtitles for there covers! 2 me mjj was always COOL! Im buy the mag bcuz hes on it but they did not have to do that! pay ur respect but do it with class! c how they treat a brother 4 real its a damn shame! rest n peace mjj!
In death we should focus on the positive and good points of a person. I agree that the title is tasteless. Once again, people have to learn to give their opinion with their wallets. If you do not like stuff like this, make sure you don’t purchase it. The fastest way to get stuff like this to stop is to stop spending money on it. I don’t think the American public understands that every time you make a purchase you are voting to keep that item going. Nobody is perfect, let’s remember Michael for the icon that he is and all of the good that he brought to the game.
The cover is nice but I wont buy this copy of GQ. It’s sad how people continue to disrespect this man. I guess there’s nothing cool about being the greatest artist of all time.
its all juss for money, eh?
he’s prob the most dissed celeb of all time!
rip mj
I agree with JD, crap like this is very aggravating. I’m only 17 but from all that I remember Michael has always been cool. There was no need for GQ use that title.
I feel that this is a very poor way to honor someone that has given so much of himself to music and culture as a whole. He was a true artist, trendsetter, humanitarian, among other things and continue to be the all-time person that has affected music and will continue to be. If you look at any of todays Pop and R&B stars, you will see something that they learned from Michael. If you listen to any of the music, you will find Michael. If you look at MTV, HE is the reason that you see black faces because I remember a time where Black videos weren’t being played on MTV, but MICHAEL JACKSON forced them to see past color because he was a MUSICAL GENIOUS. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT GQ WILL PULL THIS COVER OFF OF THE STANDS, OR BETTER YET, WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE MORE CONTROL THAN WE THINK. LET’S STAND TOGETHER FOR ONCE AND BOYCOTT THIS MAGAZINE, THEY WILL THEN RE-THINK WHAT’S APPROPRIATE IN HONORING SOMEONE SO GREAT! DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE. DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE. DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE.DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE.DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE.DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE.DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE.DO NOT BUY GQ MAGAZINE.

I just found out who wrote that story BACK IN THE DAY
Before the weirdness claimed his legacy, Michael Jackson understood his talent—and what he was willing to do for it—better than we ever have
By John Jeremiah Sullivan. They know that was wrong and I’m about to give them a piece of my mind I hope their magizine files for bankruptcy and goes down so we can say when GQ was cool…..
Oh I’m sorry when have they been cool???? again .
I notice the magazine in the airport last week. I went over to read it and I didnt like the title. Till this day Michael has never been recognized for his greatness. He was a kind caring giving person. I always had love for him and his family. It’s a shame that he didnt get all this love when he was alive. Michael will always be the greatest entertainer that ever lived.
Someone mentioned 62 million hits on youtube damn that’s amazing. I was watching his videos for years on the internet. I’m going to youtube right now and watch my favorite video Smooth Criminal.
The way they are talking about Michael – The Legend OKAY!! – is completely inappropriate. How dare they!
Michael DEFINED “cool”!
This makes me so angry!!!!
Ridiculous waste of what could have been a great tribute issue.
Miss You Michael.
HE WAS A GENIUS!!! The likes of which we will NEVER see again!!! His shit will ALWAYS be the sh*t…f*ck what chu heard!!!
The haters are doing what they do….everybody needs a job I guess!
Michael was cool his entire life ¡ He is the best of the bests, one in a kind ¡¡¡¡ They know that, that’s why they are still making money at his expenses OMG ¡
Honestly, can we really be surprised at this point? Did anyone have the unfortunate chance of reading that crap “Rolling Stone” tribute? For some reason I received it, free in the mail. I’ve never thrown a piece of trash away faster than after reading that garbage. Journalism is at an all time low. People actually need to go to school to a degree in how fabricate stories and slander another human being?!
Noway… I am not buying this *CRAP*.. I can’t believe these media people are calling him *UNCOOL* … IDIOTS and IGNORANTS…. I will just do what Michael asks his fans to do—->>>> DO NOT READ THESE TABLOIDS. THEY ARE A TRASH. 99.9% IS UNTRUTH. THEY SHOULD HAVE A TABLOID BURNING CEREMONY.
The title is wack but I decided to read the article. Trying to be fair.
GQ ran a really good article in ’94 about the family that extorted money from Michael Jackson and was never addressed by the media (Hard Copy paid his former employees for their stories).
The writer mentioned as Michael’s fame increased, he became more reclusive and reduced his access to mainstream media but still granted interviews with magazines like Ebony that supported to him. Probably felt more comfortable with black media outlets.
Listen to his interviews on You Tube with Steve Harvey, Jesse Jackson and Ebony. You can hear how relaxed he is and how much fun he had.
This article just reinforced my stand to not support magazines like this that exploit Michael Jackson even in his death.
No fucking respect!
There are some really good interviews with people that worked with Michael Jackson that are positive and with dignity. Check out the interviews with Teddy Riley, Cory Roomy and Chris Apostle and Bruce Swedien.
Think we’ve heard enough shit about Michael Jackson and it’s time to hear about the good and all contribution he made to music. He was the G.O.A.T!
[...] icon, OUR ICON, Michael Jackson. Recently Jermaine Dupri wrote about them SLAVE-ASS GQ bitches on his blog. HOT COVER WACK ASS TITLE. SEE THIS IS THE SHIT THAT PISSES ME OFF PEOPLE WANNA USE THIS MAN TO MAKE [...]
Oh please I would of bought this mag just because Michael is on the cover but since GQ is no longer cool I won’t waste my money.. Michael was un-touchable. Even after death he will have jealous-haters because NOBODY can compare to him.
This title is so dissapointing from GQ, very disrespectful to Michael his family and friends. The guy sold out 50 shows at the o2. How cooool is that ? How do you define cool? Michael was unique and an inspiration to so many people, helped the less fortunate through his time money and music. He gave so much to the world. We thank you michael and I am sorry about this poor article by GQ.
When he was cool? What rubbish! The amount of ticket sales alone for This is It concerts alone proves his status! And if he was such a weirdo etc then why use anything about MJ to boost sales!!!! Michael Jackson never lost it, its the media who slated him and now they are exploiting his death to boost sales. There are so many negative people in the world, Michael simply tried to make it a batter place.
