During a recent episode of N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s “Drink Champs,” Pharrell Williams reportedly revealed that the majority of songs on Justin Timberlake’s debut record, ‘Justified,’ were originally made for Michael Jackson.
“You hit me and said, ‘Yo, I just sent Michael Jackson some beats!’,” Billboard.com’s Anna Chan reports N.O.R.E. recalled while chatting with Pharrell. “You said to me, ‘He told me, “NOPE! I don’t think N.O.R.E. would rhyme on that. I was like, ‘My life is done!’”
Pharrell then added, “John McClain was his manager at the time. We sent him pretty much all the stuff you guys are hearing on the first Justified album -- that’s all Michael stuff. All but one song, they were written for Michael.”
