Originally starting as a rapper under the name "OG Cano", Morrow got the idea of Jackson being a trap artist from a visiting relative, and ran with it, eventually resulting in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAtroG9ugrI Billie Jean and I Dab]]", which quickly went viral, and amassed nearly five million views.

[[caption-width-right:350:Trapson, likely thinking of what parody to do next.]]
A common question thrown around music circles is "How would Music/MichaelJackson sound if he was a modern-day singer?" Well, Michael Trapson (real name Dean Anthony Morrow Jr.) not only answers that question, but takes it to the logical extreme, re-imagining Jackson as a modern-day [[TrapMusic Trap rapper/singer]], complete with gratuitous AutoTune, stereotypically repetitive lyrics, [[TheStoner smoking weed and drinking lean]], carrying guns, and videos featuring half-naked women twerking and dancing in the club.

Despite being on the extreme end of AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, Trapson's parodies are [[AffectionateParody very respectful of Jackson and his work]], and goes the distance to [[ShownTheirWork 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 Music/{{Prince}}, to ''Film/CaptainEO''.

* AffectionateParody:
** As noted in the page description, despite the premise of the parody, Trapson is a fan of Jackson, and it shows.

** The parodies have also extended to Music/{{Prince}}, usually lampooning the supposed rivalry between him and Jackson.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Deliberately invoked here, as Trapson is a take of Jackson as a modern R&B musician, and all of the gimmicks and vices that come with it.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Goes without saying, being a parody and all, but to note a few examples:
** While the first three episodes of the MJ vs. Prince saga is mostly accurate outside of the break-in chapter, there's a couple of things to note:
*** While the set-up has them crossing paths in the bathroom at a Music/JamesBrown concert, it's actually unknown how and when Prince crossed paths with Jackson prior to the latter convincing Brown to call him up onstage. Conversely, Prince actually ''did'' want to run Jackson over with a car after the show, but he didn't get the chance (according to Music/QuincyJones).
