I remember a nikka up here (who shall remain nameless) tried to act like TVR wasn’t a legendary album.

Who? I won’t tell.. lol.

Janet messed around and made an Industrial R&B masterpiece

Only Janet could make a smooth as cover version of a song about a threesome. (“Tonight’s The Night”) lol.

Good call lol. Like it’s the perfect blend of R&B, Electronic and Pop. From a pop perspective, it’s prob one of the most influential albums next to Madonnas “ray of light”

I never fuxxed with her campy shyt from the 80s but her music from the 90s to the early 00s is nothing short of phenomenal.

Let's not forget one of the greatest remixes ever. Dilla's Revenge.

yeah, i played this album way too much
then one day i came home from school and found my little brother sitting in my room with a fork and my velvet rope cd. damn fool scratched it to bits

I wonder why this was only released on vinyl in UK. I’ve been trying to add to my collection for a minute. I’ve pitched the idea to Vinyl Me, Please to have it reissued. Hopefully they will follow suit.

Janet has 4 classic albums. This was the last but arguably the most complete project.

[AlainLocke]

Probably the most important and impactful pop/rnb album of all-time...

The foundation of Alt-RnB...

Can't listen right now, but did they say anything about sharking J Dilla whole shyt with that song? Dilla said he and Tip didn't get the production credit they were supposed to. And there's no denying that song is 100% Dilla's sound. That's why I love Jay Dee's revenge version, he just turned up the Dillaness even more.
