When Pop and Hip Hop Go Hand in Hand

Michael Jackson has been trying lately all the possible solutions for winning the show biz battle. After being left almost penniless as a result of trials and his own money-spending routine, he decided that coming back to the highlights would be a smart move.
But this was only the beginning! For, after getting back to studio work for his own brand new album, now he is also eyeing collaboration. Would it be because of the fear his own pop style is no longer en vogue that he decided to sing some tracks with 50 Cent? This is yet to be decided

Anyway, one of the 50 Cent crew members, DJ Whoo Kid, recently declared for Billboard.com that he is on his way to Bahrain, Michael's actual home, where he will take possession of the tracks Jackson has been working on.
The collaboration will appear on a DJ-produced hip hop compilation, very popular in the world of hip hop. However, everybody is still very careful with declarations at this point - both Michael Jackson and 50 Cent say they have made no commitment regarding the results of their collaboration.

This new joint venture between the two stars is not going to influence the release of Jackson's own studio album, with his new Two Seas label. Its first single - "Now That I Found Love" - is planned to show up on November 21st. The producer will be the King's long time collaborator, who engineered the track "Thriller" and co-produced the album "Dangerous", both with enormous success.

It remains to be seen whether the collaboration will turn into a box office success, or, on the contrary, it will please neither Michael's left fans nor 50 Cent-rap-lovers.
