"We are talking, but I originally talked to Will.i.am because he does some stuff for him. And then when I talked to Mike, he said 'Yeah, we'll do something,' so hopefully we will do that record." Chris explained to All Hip Hop.
Jacko reached out to Will.i.am to executive produce the currently untitled album due out sometime this year.
Jackson is also said to be working with friend and business associate, hip hop heavyweight 50 Cent, to create a 10-30 date concert residency at the O2 Arena.
In related news, Jackson will be releasing a new edition of his legendary "Thriller" album on February 12, 2008.

HE GOT 2 GET DAT MONEY BACK SOME HOW LOL.
MJ will always have money.. it's just his status
Supposedly, all the court costs and other expenses left him bankrupt
man mj can sell a pair of his underwear for a mill ain't no way he gon get bankrupt.. anywho i'm feelin this, this gonna be hot
mike my nigga no matter what
thriller still one of the best albums since back in the day, and this remix is dope... it might sell, but his image is hella fucked right now
co-sign them strings is serrious and you know Kanye had to blast the kick Imma try to find theese accapellas.
i bet no one will know that a new edition of thriller comes out
very good remix...the one from akon is very good too
r u fuckin sick hell yeah its gon sell nomatter what nigga its MJ... MJ nigga!!!
With MJ, it's not an issue whether he'll sell, he'll sell 2 million just from his die hard fans. He does it from a purely artistic standpoint, that's what makes him special. To me from the 7 cities(prolly not Norfolk, Hampton, VA Beach or Bad Newz...)you don't sound like you know much about ish. Big up to you and the rest of the best place in the world to live, though. Just understand MJ is the greatest entertainer EVER, and whether 50 and Chris Brown are involved with it or not, he will be succesful.
Big Up To the 757 all day That Hpt all day
this is strange no matter how u put it, but MJ is still that dude. kudos to these guys for tryin to help him tho
i don't think they're trying to help min... no matter how fucked up he is he still is the king of pop... and it's good for any career to have a song with mj it's a place in history.
lol they aint helping MJ they hopping on the money wagon they know that if they make a song with the king of pop.... its gurenteed at least gold he sells to mass audiences he has fans from the 80's people making record collections he is MJ he will sell no matter what even if his nose and shit is falling off. but maybe some of these rappers can turn him back black.

haha u ah silly ass dude.....but mike still that dude ppl kno wut he can do when hes not how shld i say it uh not messing around....

I CAN ONLY DO THE OLDER MIKE STUFF MYSELF THO...
Yo ima go wit bird on this one... It gets to a point where you can't keep supporting this dude no matter what he does just because he used to be the shit... The dude is seriously fucked up in the head!! I mean the mere sight of him sends chills down my spine... seriously he is a scary dude... And there gotta be somethin up if there is more than one person accusing him of child molestation... The man's gotta fuckin theme park!!
i cant see how niggas support this man anymore when he doesnt embrace what he is! skin disease ma ass dat nigga sick in the head like ma nigga katt willams said how u got a baby thats WHITE named blanket! dat baby gne be lightskin like a mafucka if he fucked a white girl man mike a legend musically but fuck dat nigga str8 up

deee-troit
itz guna b a scary lbum, i mean now he's lyk white and ghostly lookin, i rekon da music myt b alryt, but it aint guna do da same success
man mike is a king period. i mean yeah he did sell out, but he made so many classics and the best album ever. that gotta count for somethin right. and dam that drum pattern mysteriously sounds like the same drum pattern from "i wonder."
First i want to say that Mike is the man, but the fact that he is taking a step into the hip hop world is crazy on his part that nigga is not hip hop he's pop. Then the fact that he is naming the album Thriller 2008 is stupid we all know it is not going to be as good as Thriller. Come on Mike.
So Justin Timberlake can do it, but MIKE can't. Are you kidding? Mike can do anything.
HELL YEA MIKE.. CANT WAIT FOR THAT SHIT..HAHA COME ON YALL GOTTA GIVE THE MAN PROPS FOR SPEAKIN IN PUBLIC AGAIN HA
hot remix
mike will always have money
he will die with millions
dude went diamond...HE GOTS MONEY
yup....... niggas can't even reach half plat these days.....
1st of all Mike will never be broke, yeah that court case hit his bank account…but fuck what you heard dunny, Mike is still that dude. Matter of fact do your home work, who’s the 1st nigga to have their own Record label through Sony? That’s right look it up, shit that your favorite so-called rappers are doing today Mike did it when they was in dippers…nigga pleaaase!
Word’s bourn Thriller is the shit & when the remix drops I’m sure to copp it
MJ will always have money.. it's just his status
Bullshit!
How the hell you blow a $100 million dollars, be $150 million in debt, mortgage off 75% of your catalog rights, be forced to sell your estate, and still have money? You think he's making appearances at a Saudi Prince's birthday party for a $10 million cause he likes it and is rich and got nothing else to do? This nigga is owned by Fortress Investment Management, who bought his $150 million loan from the Bank of America. But good luck to him making music.
that shit ain touchin the B.I.G. remix to Billy Jean
i dont care how fucked up this man is, this is the KING. i will cop both these albums no doubt.
no matter wat this confused nigga does he is still gonna be the shit....i mean mike is lookin like a white female bitch rite now
4 all this niggaz (50, kanye, akon, chris brown, will.i.am) tryna work on his new album (which is MOST DEFINITLY going to go at least double platinum)..they are all gonna cake up hard
PS this kanye remix is hotttttttt....best believe
PSPS...i aint kopping mikes album whenever the fuck it drops
MJ is the legend.
Mike is hookin up wit heavy hitters on this one...I wanna hear him and Chris Brown do a Thriller Remix dat would be sweet no matter what. The best of their generations gettin at it on one of the greatest songs ever...and the video would be crazy. Learn it.
ReDef.
Homeboy said kudos...lol
I can't wait to hear it. Word mike is the man(musically)
haha the man (musically) lmao gd shit.....
if they make another thriller video, they should let chris brown play as MJ
Sorry to say I could actually see that happening...
it would a good callbo between mj and chris brown. i think mike is gonna make a nice little comeback. if he keeps his private life in check, he'll be alright.
here comes some more hater shit from gethip313... um, fuck 50. he should have been working with mike years ago. i got nothing against the kid chris brown. fuck mike. he fucks kids. yeah, he was acquitted but he did it, sick fuck. question- how many of yall would let mike babysit your kids?
thriller is my shit tho, i aint gonna lie. i still got the old 12 inch record!!!! billie jean, pyt, beat it, human nature!!!! my shit!!!!!!! he the illest white girl since tina marie!!!!!!!!
Aye Mike Still Da Nigga!!!
Sounds hot but why ye never spit sum fire on da beat????????
MJ is the best to do music period Elvis doesnt have shit on him and never did hes better then all ur white icons hes simply the man if u disagree maybe u need to go take in some hits beat it , thriller , the ORIGIONAL billy jean, heal the world the list goes on and on and on THRILLER SOLD 150 MILLION COPIES dont tell me MJ is broke hes doing a 30 day tour in UK and gettin 30 mill WHO ELSE CAN DO THAT !?
1 more thing as far as im concered 50 cenyt kanye and all dem other ppl that are involved in this ESPECIALLY CHRIS BROWN dont have the right to be in the same studio as this man !
i think kayne's remix of billy jean could've been a little more creative. i will always be a down heart mike fan. i would love to see him, janet, mary j, chris brown along with 50 cent and kanye west and Usher on a 60 city world tour...that shyt would be hot. i can see tickets costing 250 dollars for nose bleeding seats...lol..lol..lol..lol
Actually jackson is broke...that was why he had to sell his mansion.....for a while he was staying in dubai or some arab country with a billionaire.
Combination of erratic spending and some investment flops left him broke...but he can make it back....just needs to be smart this time.
yea but in terms of mike jack wuts broke???
broke to him is wealthy to sumone else....
MJ is the man! no matter what he will always be king of pop!
That is a good fucking look. Looks like Mike is trying to get back on the pop charts and know also the rap charts. Yo what if, what if when he performs with 50cents Michael Jackson rocks and gold grill and a doo-rag. I would pay to see that shit. For Real!
Haha, Michael Jackson won't dress as an OG. But I would also pay to see that.
two greatest dancers of all time no doubt
yeah mj and solja boy.
hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
