Beyoncé has as much to teach us as Michael Jackson and Jesus

  • August 16, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

This may come as a bit of a surprise so you might need to sit down first, but Jay‑Z thinks Beyoncé is quite good. As good as Michael Jackson and Jesus, no less.

In an interview with radio station Hip Hop DX, Jay‑Z revealed that "what I've learned from her is similar to what I learned from [Michael Jackson] — and I know that's blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator — but I think she's like the second coming".

MIKE.
