Michael Jackson Left Behind Tons of Unreleased Music

Expect a ton of new Jackson releases in the coming years...
Michael Jackson left behind so much unreleased music that he could have several new albums released in the coming years. The material ranges from unused tracks from the studio sessions of his classic albums to recent tracks that he recorded with Akon and will.i.am.
According to former Sony CEO Tommy Mottola, the releases could go on for years. Mottola even said that Jackson recorded, but didn't include, several tracks on his classic Off the Wall and Thriller albums which Sony can now release.
"There are dozens and dozens of songs that did not end up on his albums. People will be hearing a lot of that unreleased material for the first time ever. There's just some genius and brilliance in there."
Since his death, sales of Michael Jackson's old albums have surged, a strong sign that new Jackson albums would draw a lot of interest. Unreleased material from artists like Elvis and Tupac Shakur were also released after their deaths.
just like tupac, expect tons of crappy music. they were left off the albums for a reason.

Yeah, so did Biggie & 2Pac, it doesn't mean it was worth listening too.

Ok, as a fan of Michael's this is good, but let's not get ridiculous, we all know that Tupac is still alive somewhere, lol.

Ok. It's conspiracy theory time. Remember when Biggie died? And that I'll Be Missing You song came out right away? Here's what happened:
Puffy said, "Yo, Big. Check this song out!" BIG said, "Yo, that shit is dope, N!##a! Who is dat fo?" And Puffy just said, "Uh....I'm saving it fo a rainy day, dawg."
And that's (who killed BIGGIE) how that song came about
