Pharrell Williams says nearly all the songs on Justin Timberlake's 'Justified' album were originally written for Michael Jackson

[monkeystar88]

Jt's best album was FUTURE *** LOVE SOUND and Justified wouldn't have worked for Michael because he was done at that point because he is a child ********. Beyonce steals whole ideas and is a legend so why shouldn't anyone else?

I hear you. It's also possible JT wrote them for MJ. 

I highly doubt it, he was working on his own album. Hardly, it sounds like lol.

I remember this tea. The Neptune’s songs were written for MJ and they gave them to Justin after MJ rejected them. Also... Imagine MJ singing on Superthug? 

Gone was written for MJ too. Written by Justin and Wade Robson. MJ also rejected that song so he sung it for the Nsync album. 

I would assume Justin helped re write and arrange the songs for him hence the writing credit. 
Justin had a lot of support going solo. Label, the industry, he made a lot of connections...Plus Britney’s fame gave him

a huge boost for the drama he created with CMAR. 
In reflection he really got away with a lot during the first decade of his career. It’s only caught up to him the last 3 years.

Okay but the producer is confirming that most of the his first album was pre-written for someone else lol. And apparently it's easy to get a writing credit by contributing just a tiny bit. Look at Tik Tik Boom - someone did it before Britney and the lyrics didn't change much on her version but she has a writing credit.

And Beyoncè has a writingcredit, this is his original demo! 

But mostly changing / create the melody / beat will give you also a writingcredit.
