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.
