Jay-Z said "Beyonce is the 2nd Coming of Michael Jackson"

Last month in an interview with Miami's 99 Jamz Jay-Z said "Beyonce is the second coming of Michael Jackson". Beyonce is most definitely a worldwide phenomenon, but is this statement premature and biased? Why weren't these comparisons made about Usher or Justin Timberlake when they were at their peak? Would it be different if Janet Jackson said it? The Friday Hip Hop Report debate lounge is joined by special guest Jamal.

Beyonce is clearly the titan here. No amount of talk or wasting of time will change that. Thank god we can't change history. Beyonce is amazing

@7MusicKnight It's a tough discussion. I know Beyonce's concerts have been bigger than theirs. I think she outsold them too.

@SwampFoxChevy sorry to bust yr bubble, but beyonce is not one of the best selling music artist of all time..she ain't even on the top 30

[7MusicKnight]

@Famfriass She has a great voice, and a pretty package. Someone marketed her well. There has been way better singers than her with less fame. Jennifer Hudson's voice is way better, but she is not on the same level of fame. Why? Beyonce worked the pop angle better. That is all.

@Famfriass Ofcourse it was MJ's hardwork that got to him to where he was. Where do you think he would be if he wasn't up every morning dancing 8 hrs/day with his brothers awaiting a belt in his fathers hands? Even after he departed from his brothers, he was DETERMINED to make it to the top;I can't name many artists who had worked their butts off like he did. How did he "stand" 4 "old" people? I don't agree with much of what U are saying. He stood for equality & making a CHANGE in the world, yes.

@Famfriass I can only speak for myself, and I think Beyonce is second to Michael Jackson in terms of starpower
