At a press conference today, Joe Jackson took a few moments to discuss funeral arrangements for Michael, thank the fans for their support, and … plug his new record label. (He probably just wanted to make sure those of us who didn’t hear about it during his red carpet appearance at the BET Awards last night didn’t miss out.) Take a look, below:

    Joe Jackson made the worlds greatest entertainer, both physically and mentally… and the first comment is “dont sign the contract”???

    I don’t get it… I would and hoped he had a belt in his hand… I could use the boost in morale.

    This man will try to find anyway he can to exploit the death of Michael just as he exploited his son in life for as long as he could…it will be interesting to see how he will stretch this tragedy out to benefit himself. Trust…he won’t make a dime or have any success. He will continue to fade into the past just like Ike. This just IS NOT THE TIME to plug his little record company…I find him so disgusting.

    Maybe he did make the world’s “greatest entertainer” but at what cost? His methods were extreme and he was abusive, what’s the point of being the greatest when inside you hate yourself. Very very sad, I’m sorry but Joe Jackson is a monster.

    I think its very sad that Joe Jackson is pitching his record company at this moment of his son’s death. He seems to just have viewed Michael as an icon and a money-maker, but he is his flesh and blood. R.I.P MJ.

    IT IS VERY DISTURBING AND SAD THAT THIS MAN CHOSE A BAD TIME TO PROMOTE HIS NEW RECORD LABEL. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE REASON MJ WENT THROUGH SO MUCH MENTALLY! I REALLY THINK HE DID NOT DO ANY OF THE THINGS HE WAS ACCUSED OF, HE JUST MADE BAD CHOICES WHEN IT CAME TO BEING IN THE COMPANY OF KIDS. BUT I THINK HE STILL BELIEVED HE WAS A KID HIMSELF. I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ALL REAL. I CRIED AND IT STILL BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES WHEN I HEAR HIS SONGS. HE WAS A BIG PART OF MY CHILDHOOD AND HE WE TRULY BE MISSED. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL…

    LOL..HE’S ABOUT 50 YEARS LATE TALKING ABOUT STARTING A RECORD LABEL…PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO MESS WITH JOE JACKSON ON THE RECORD TIP….LOL

    God gave Michael and amazing talent. Joe Jackson took his childhood cause he wanted the money, the fame and the Hollywood life. There is no excuse for beating a child, and working him like Joe Jackson worked his children. What does it profit a man to gain the world and loose his soul. He is the main reason for most of “Michael Demons”.

    His son has not been dead a week and he is already talking about himself. Disgusting!

    Joe Jackson is STILL a very self absorbed, monstrous a*****e! That’s why Michael loved, yet hated him. What man INSISTS on their children calling them by their name instead of daddy!?!

    Even listening to him made me cringe. Just the sound of his voice alone creeps me out and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere NEAR him!

    Ugh…ignorant, illiterate, mean, disgusting, self centered, money grubbing, non respecter of persons or their memories, a*****e. That about sums him up alright. He makes me GLAD my father isn’t like him!

    I think I’m gonna call my daddy up and tell him I love him!

    I honestly believe that Joe Jack is on point for starting a label. Not only will he have Michael’s masters to work with, but Mike owned The Beatles’ whole song catalog. He doesn’t have to sign any artists. All he has to do is drop greatest hits and best of albums and keep that money where it belongs, in the family. I wouldn’t have plugged at a time like this though. The thing most of the people jumping on Joe here need to overstand is that the game is grimey and only the grime survives. The good ones always fall off or die.

    This man apparently does not care about his son.He’s only worried about his wash up career.I know the jackson’s brother’s are pissed!!I’m suprise at rev.sharpton to even having joe jackson in the media because he’s taken advantage of the time of MORNING!! no respect for michael at all.

    How the hell your son dies on thursday, and u know the family is grieving, especially latoya, and janet because they loved their baby brother micheal, but u show up at the BET Awards sitting in the audience smiling showing your face like nothing hasn’t even happen,right next to Al Sharpton: but showin yourself to everyone in the music industry so you can make money off of Micheal and his unreleased music: You dirty low down self centered money hunger don’t give a f**k about your son: Son of a B***h! U care nothing about nobody but your self. It hasn’t been 4 days yet. Mike died on Thursday, but you at the BET Awards on Sunday, and U smiling at the camera in the audience! Oh My God! I couldn’t believe it until I seened it. If you missed the BET Awards Sunday Please watch it from the beginning to the ending.It comes on again Tuesday night at 8:00 pm. You Have to see this s**t. I was justed shocked, and my mouth justed dropped. He never gave a s**t about micheal, and he was always jealous of Barry Gordy of Motown. Mike used to call Gordy his daddy, and mike wished Gordy was his daddy. I know people talking about that s**t because it just didn’t look right. U not grieving at all, but u starting a record label, and your son isn’t buried yet? Come on now people. This is ludacris!

    What in the hell are you thinking Joe Jackson? Hello! Your son just died! Not only are his fellow artists, friends, and fans are mourning the loss of a innovator and icon, your family is grieving the loss of a family member who was your son for crying out loud! You have the nerve and audacity to put out a record label? You only referred to him as an entertainer. He’s your child first, and that all other stuff comes second. There’s no place for that, during this time of mourning. Imagine how Rev. Al must’ve felt. What kind of person wants to profit off of someone’s death? The answer to that, is a selfish and inconsiderate excuse of a man!

    its bad enuf that others are trying too make money from Michaels passing…but ur his alleged dad! u fukin retard! i would sign too ur label…as soon as i sign on tha dotted line i would slap tha shyt of of u and then r kelly ur face!

    This man grinds me gears in the worse way smh

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    I find it real funny, that the same people who will say don’t Judge Michael, are the same people who will sit in judgement of his father..As bad as a father all of you are claiming he is, do you really think you are feeling the loss of Michael, more than he? The man said he was asked about his future plans and he revealed them. Then the next day, he explained why he said what he said…Then NewsOne sensationalizes the headline to make it appear, that Joe is more concerned about his label than his son, and “we” fall for it hook line and sinker, like “we” always do…

    I am now seeing why Michael had such a hard life in the Jackson Family….What a shame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JAYY2K/ JAYY2K

    It is PAINFULLY OBVIOUS this man does not care for his son. He was wearing those big flashy shades on the BET red carpet. All his statements sound like something prepared by an attorney not by a loving father who just lost not only his son but aomeone who affected the PLANET!! I have not seen one tear or heard a crackle in this man’s voice. It is not the media hyping it its him. How dare you plug a Friggin record label. Even if your asked about the future DUH!!! its about the FUTURE of the FAMILY without Michael NOT about you friggin record label. Anyone who thinks different is just tone deaf. No wonder MJ said in t hat interview back in the day with Oprah that he would regurgitate when he would see his father. I feel the same way everytime I see his smug face on camera. I also may be mistaken but I have not seen any family stand near dear old dad through any of these interviews!!

    Its not a matter of falling for it. That man is as a$$ period. He is the reason for michael’s f’ed up life. His mother is too blame too. She allowed it. She wasnt woman enough to stand up for her own children.

    Now he is gone, what a shame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Godfirst909/ Godfirst909

    as if we needed more proof as to why Michael hated this man so much. his son, the greatest performer to ever breath the air of God’s green earth, has passed and left this world a little darker and what does his monkey ass do? plug a record company that proably won’t see the light of day. b***h ass move, Joe Jackson. or should I cal you Joke Jackson?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DARKHEARTPHENIX/ DARKHEARTPHENIX

    This is the WRONG time for him to be plugging some record company.He was an ASS when his kids were growing up and he’s still an ASS now.

    “This situation” SMDH

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/critical22/ critical22

    Well I am not hear to judge anyone because I love everyone yes even my enemies..well if i have any..and yes i always was the one supporting Michael and I can vividly remember jumping in joy in my living room when he was found not guilty of all those charges and the lady outside the court released those birds.. Now..as for his father, yes he definitely did some really wrong things to Michael..and this cannot be disputed because Michael said it himself in an interview with Oprah. Now, as for the plugging of the record company to the media, if I was him such an idea would have not even have come out of my mouth on the BET carpet..no matter how money hungry I could be. R.I.P Michael.
