Another day, another purely speculative wild MJ collaboration.
Anyone who happened to catch Chris Brown perform at the Grammies this year might have noticed that, as is required of every male teenage R&B singer ever, he has a little bit of a Michael Jackson fetish.
Well, according to MTV News today, there's some mutual interest. While giving a preview of his upcoming album, Exclusive, Brown said that he had recently talked to Jackson about possibly getting together on a Will.i.am-produced track:
He called me for my birthday, and I told him we should do a song. He was up for it. Man, it was crazy. He actually spoke to me like a regular person, and he was like, 'I like your music.' He said his favorite song was Shorty Like Mine" that me and Bow Wow did. I appreciated talking to him.
Elsewhere in the interview, Brown talked on his growing work ethic, drawing an odd comparison in the wake of his MJ fanboyisms: "I'm trying to be the R&B Tupac. I'm trying to make as many records as I can so when I'm out of this world, y'all can still have music from me nobody has heard yet."

So, name-dropping Tupac and MJ in the interview? Sounds like someone's working on his own T.I. vs. T.I.P.-inspired multiple personality complex concept album.
