Janelle Monae was one of the few black female musicians that didn’t make snoozefest cursive singing R&B crapola and blacks didn’t want to listen to her. And she doesn’t appeal to whites either.

What a shame.

ArchAndroid was my AotY 2010

By all accounts she and her entourage are cool as fuck to hang out with. It's a crime that she isn't huge.

>>126910657 (OP)
She has a great set of knockers.

>It's a crime that she isn't huge.
Yeah, she can sing, dance and even rap very well. She also had huge industry backing, you'll see her at every Met Gala and Grammies but she just never really appealed to the general public. Seems like she's not urban enough to captivate a huge black audience and too black for whites that are typically into pop music.

She stars in hollywood movies, now; she doesn't need validation in the music world. She helped sass man to the moon.

Eh her acting career is just as middling as her fame in the music industry, but I guess it probably pays way better.

It’s just sad because she truly stood out among her peers, like Beyoncé can’t dance and make music like this https://youtu.be/pwnefUaKCbc?si=JrHcqIo8v5X3pb4E

what was your 2024 aoty?

>>126910657 (OP)
Maybe if she actually sounded like she was on We Are Young more people would have cared lmao

>>126910805
t. she never had any hit singles

>>126914972
she was on that?

>>126914972
She deserved atleast a strong cult fanbase like a lot of alt-pop acts have. Like there’s barely any discussion or any fandom for her music, even Reddit/twitter who usually have niche communities for more unknown artists and yet there’s like virtually no discussion at all for JM’s music.

He gave age of pleasure an A- and didn’t even bother to review archandroid, wtf.

I like that one album with the robot clones on it but she looks unnatural posing in her undergarments. It's a creepy picture, disturbing even, jannies prune this shit, clearly bait

She's Kelis if Kelis had never sold out and gone commercial.

>>126914997
She sings on the bridge
She's in the music video too

That explains it. I've only heard the chorus when they play it at baseball games.

>>126910657 (OP)
It was based as hell when she took her top off

*if Kelis was not a smokeshow

>>126914979
"We Are Young" was huge, but she was barely on it.
