Throwback Thursday: Michael Jackson's Birthday Honored w/ DJ JayCee's 'Long Live The King' Mixtape

Case you couldn't tell Michael Jackson's birthday (tomorrow, Friday August 29th) is a major holiday around here, like, take the day off and can't sleep the night before thinking about all the musical goodies that The Wiz will leave for us. We couldn't wait--so we didn't. Tomorrow DJ JayCee (AKA The Cutty Professor) will be commemorating the King of Pop's bornday tomorrow with a birthday bashment at Atlanta's Space2 (scroll down for details) and dropping his special all-MJ birthday tribute mixtape Long Live The King (<--King Of Pop, get it?) in conjunction. But we conspired to give Okayplayers a special #ThrowbackThursday preview of the event with this OKP mixtape premiere. What can we really say about Michael Jackson's everlasting impact on music, dance and popular culture that hasn't already been said, sung or made into a Spike Lee joint? Not much, but luckily JayCee pretty much said it all with this definitive mix, from "Blame It On The Boogie" to "Remember The Time." Stream or download via soundcloud below, scroll down for the complete tracklisting and if you're an ATLien, find the flyer with complete event details at the bottom of the post. And join all us Michael Jackson disciples (looks like Raekwon couldn't wait for MJ day either--great chefs think alike!) in the words of that ancient holiday carol: Mama Say. Mama Sa. Mama Makossa. Happy MJ Day! Long Live The King.
