Pharrell has revealed that some of the tracks Michael Jackson passed on were included on Justin Timberlake’s Justified. The top producer spoke about this in a new interview on the Revolt TV podcast Drink Champs, where he talked about his time with N.O.R.E & DJ EFN, including their “Superthug” collaboration and being rejected by both Prince and Michael Jackson. “Michael turned us down too,” Pharrell shared, after telling the podcast hosts how Prince passed on one of his tracks. “John McClain was his manager at the time,” Pharrell added. “We sent him pretty much all the stuff y’all are hearing on the Justified album. That’s all the Michael stuff.”
Justified is now best known as Justin Timberlake’s debut 2002 album. Now, Pharrell says all but one song was originally created for the King of Pop.
