An interview that has been in the works for a couple of years. Michael Trapson,
the Trap Version of MJ!
Originally starting as a rapper under the name "OG Cano", Morrow got the idea of Jackson being a trap artist from his younger cousin, and ran with it, eventually resulting in "Billie Jean and I Dab", which quickly went viral, and amassed nearly five million views. Morrow reimagines Jackson in many parody and comedy videos as a modern-day Trap rapper/singer, complete with gratuitous Auto-Tune, stereotypically repetitive lyrics, smoking weed and drinking lean, carrying guns, and videos featuring half-naked women twerking and dancing in the club. Despite how many see it, Trapson's parodies are very respectful of Jackson and his work, and goes the distance to make sure the the songs, videos, and events in Jackson's life are depicted accurately, while still utilizing artistic license for humor's sake, ranging from his rumored beef with Prince, to Captain EO.
Despite being more known for parodying Michael Jackson, he's also done parodies of Prince as well. Trapson's has done parodies of Jackson being inserted various films, TV shows, and even games, including Friday, Candyman, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Grand Theft Auto.
Morrow still works as a Tribute Artist to this day with his group "Glowtown Live".
