## Resource

Michael Jackson’s Dangerous turns 35, so DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray pull out the liner notes, the memories and the mess to talk about the album that closed out Michael’s classic run and dropped him squarely into the New Jack Swing era. Think Teddy Riley drums, prime‑time video premieres and Black folks glued to the TV on Sunday night. This one feels like sitting in the living room talking about the first time you saw “Remember the Time” and tried to hit that choreography at school the next day. In this episode, they get into: How leaving Quincy Jones and linking with Teddy Riley shifted Michael into a 90s New Jack Swing sound, while still keeping pieces of the classic studio team like Bruce Swedien and Bill Bottrell in the mix.​ Why the “Black or White” premiere felt like a TV event, from Macaulay Culkin and Tyra Banks to the morphing effects and that controversial, angry street sequence tied to early 90s racial tension.​ The impact of “Remember the Time” as a Black cultural moment, with Eddie Murphy, Iman, Magic Johnson, the Fly Girls and Fatima Robinson choreography that folded in dances like the Bart Simpson.​ Deep‑cut love for singles like “In the Closet,” “Jam” and the nine‑single run that kept Dangerous on radio and TV for years, plus how the tour and videos leaned into fashion, sensuality and spectacle.​ How Dangerous works as the last chapter of Michael’s classic era, the weight of what came after, and the way the album still lives in Black memory through parties, choreography and those big 90s TV moments.
