Exclusive Max Jax transcript:

Asked what he feels his greatest achievement is..
I think it is working with Michael Jackson.. Just having my name along side 'Michael Jackson', I mean that's, that's big.

Is he one of your idols?
Oh of course!

What's it like working with Michael?
It's great, its just like, you know, just the awe factor, like, I'm sitting next to Michael Jackson right now.. like, he's talking to me.. and i mean just knowing all the things he's accomplished in his life and you know i mean, startin out as a kid and just killin' it with his vocals and just his musicianship alone is just something to be in awe of.. and just his aura and the positive energy that he brings to the studio is great.. and alot of artists don't do that.. you, "coz i am such and such".. but he is really really cool.. really nice guy. Like i said it was an honor to work with him.

That is soooooo :cool::wild::wild::wild::wild:
