I knew this rumor but never saw all of these pieces of evidence. +1 thanks

I can't watch the video but i assume, that's the "prove" that MJ made the OST of Sonic 3, especially the ending.

But I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Please go to YouTube and search for "fresh prince sonic" and watch/listen to 5 random videos. After that repeat it with "fresh prince mario". Fact is: as long, as you follow the rules of (pop-)music, it should work fine to mix two songs into one. That's what DJs do all the time.

The myth works much better than others because of the bigger similarity of both songs, MJ's games from Sega and a photo showing Mr. Jackson with Sonic.


Sorry to disappoint you - don't get angry on me.

...Actually, no. This is true.

Buxer: I've never played the game so I do not know what tracks on which Michael and I have worked the developers have kept, but we did compose music for the game. Michael called me at the time for help on this project, and that's what I did. And if he is not credited for composing the music, it's because he was not happy with the result sound coming out of the console. At the time, game consoles did not allow an optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music...

B&W: One of the surprising things in this soundtrack is that you can hear the chords from Stranger in Moscow, which is supposed to have been composed later...

Buxer: Yes, Michael and I had composed those chords for the game, and it has been used as base for Stranger in Moscow. [...]

Brad Buxer was a CREDITED music composer for Sonic 3.

Black & White Magazine is a magazine that got an interview with him to confirm the rumor.

So, unless you still say that he isn't, then I think all the proof is here for this to become a DYKG.

That's fine by me :3
As I said before i can't watch the video, because of Sony blocking it in germany. As long as there are enough evidences, I have no problems with that DYKG n.n
