Honestly, I'd rather they respect the artists wishes if they never intended to release it. If it was the case of just not having the chance but intended to, go for it. I get fans and people wanting to hear everything that person produced, but I also think a major part of an artists image and art itself is what you choose to share/publish. Not an artist, but knowing some people who enjoy it, they take sharing more personal pieces very seriously and I know they wouldn't be very happy if it were "leaked" or shared publicly.

That being said, 50GB is a LOT of music, assuming the media takes up similar space to high quality audio tracks. Especially when you consider how much content/music we already have from MJ.

I'd imagine a fair amount of it is either rough takes and raw multitracks. One song could have dozens of tracks that are unmixed. Would be cool though if those tracks were released out in the wild so anyone could mix and master their own tracks.

Some of those are very interesting though, like Thriller with alternate lyrics. (This was actually released, but who knows what else is out there that we've never heard.)

Billie-Jean wrecks the Edmund Fitzgerald?

There's quite a few raw multitracks of Michael Jackson stuff out there.

It still sucks that they released Prince's unreleased tracks after he passed. Dude was a perfectionist and there's no way for us to know if he felt that they were ready for the public. Maybe Anderson Paak went a little hardcore with his tattoo requesting no posthumous releases, but I get where he's coming from.

If we went by that, we'd have nothing left of Franz Kaffka's works.
