Janet:boss: messed around and made an Industrial R&B masterpiece:ahh::banderas::ohlawd:

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 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.

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.
