00:00There are two things in the music business, before Thriller and after Thriller.
00:11Thriller set the standard of what it was to be a megastarker.
00:15Michael had such a clear vision of what he wanted.
00:18He was determined to change the way he was perceived.
00:21I came in angry.
00:22He was a perfectionist.
00:24I wanted the best.
00:26And look in the mirror and I'd say he was selling an album of all time.
00:30The greatest singers do what the music tells them to do.
00:33Everybody waiting to see the next big Michael Jackson album.
00:39As a matter of fact, I asked what Mama Say, Mama Sa, Mama Kusa meant.
00:43Oh, and it don't mean nothing, just sing it.
00:47He had the ambition to become the biggest star in the world, and he did it.
00:53You could feel the excitement in the room, knowing that we were doing somethings better.
00:56There was a sense of culture.
00:58It felt like he's rocking with us.
01:00We can dance to his music.
01:01He saw value in street culture.
01:03Popping, locking.
01:04No one had ever put those elements together.
01:06Nobody's seen the moonwalk coming.
01:10He just laid a bomb on that room.
01:17Billie Jean stepping on the pavement.
01:20It was about making the magic.
01:21Like a musical, damn near.
01:26He wanted to go out and tour for Thriller, but Joseph Jackson had other ideas.
01:35It's the ultimate blueprint to modern pop music.
01:38It was probably everything that I ever loved in one.
01:41Michael's gone from being a pop star to a phenomenon.
01:44If Thriller came out today, it would still be the greatest album ever made.
01:48He wanted to have a punch!
01:56He wanted to make it something else.
01:59And but I was just saying,
01:59it doesn't have a country.
