In Summary

Jamaican reggae and dancehall superstar Sean Paul was blown away at Michael Jackson’s iconic recording studio in Los Angeles, California.

Through a video posted on his Instagram, Sean Paul is captured being being shown around the state-of-the-art studio which left an indelible mark  in the entertainment world.

Additionally, Sean Paul’s handlers gave him a little bit of a back story when recording Michael Jackson’s classical hit “Smooth Criminal” which was recording at the studio’s washroom’s showere which has a natural accoustic reverb.

Despite Michael Jackson’s death barely 16 years ago, the studio is well kept with every machine and instruments breathing life.

The studio is well soundproofed, with the floors having heavy carpets, with the remaining areas covered in ballet floors. The walls are also super padded using wood and boast of great lighting.

Further bringing the studio to life and Michael Jackson’s spirit are the wall hangings comprising his photos and some souvenirs here and there, including a monkey bear, which fill the lounging area.

The “Temperature” hitmaker was also shown a vintage high-powered 80-pound reverb machine, which left him in awe.

Sean Paul was also shown Michael Jackson’s dance area where he held his rehearsals. During his entry into the recording studio, Sean Paul was welcomed with “Smooth Criminal’s” instrumental, which he jammed to.

While at the rehearsal area, Sean Paul was also shown Michael Jackson’s secret exit and guard walls, which kept him guarded from people walking into his session.

The video has since been flooded with reactions, with many affirming that Michael Jackson was ahead of his time.
