Title: The Grammy's opened my eyes to an artist.
Post by: Chamillitary Click on February 14, 2011, 10:44:04 AM: Janelle Monae.

You guys ever listen to her stuff? I Youtube'd three songs of hers & she's pretty awesome.

Can anybody here co-sign her album as something worth listening to?

Post by: Lunatic on February 14, 2011, 02:03:22 PM: I remember Big Boi talking about her years ago and he had her signed to Purple Ribbon

She's so unique and dope. I remember her first album not doing very well, correct? I'm so glad she bounced back 'cause she's so sick

Post by: Native American on February 14, 2011, 02:41:20 PM: best album, she should have performed then, but i prolly missed it because i was only watching the few chosen performances.

who ever that lady gaga bitch is, she looked very uncomfortable i mean more then usual (constipated) ?. i wonder what she takes for her anxiety, cause u can see she is with a low self esteem. thats sad on some MJ shit. :( :(

Post by: Suga Foot on February 15, 2011, 02:27:59 PM: I like her. She has a good voice, but wasn't really feelin her album. Also I'm sick of "tightrope" from that chevy commercial.

Post by: operation stackola on February 15, 2011, 06:17:46 PM: 1st got into her on the Idlewild soundtrack. Call The Law is siiiiick (one of the best songs on there). Metropolis is a classic EP, imo. The video for Many Moons is too. ArchAndroid is on another level, though.......Cold War is another classic video from Janelle. Interesting concepts and amazing music on the first 3 Suites (can't wait for Suite IV). Musically aside, her dancing/energy is unreal. Honestly, I think she will go down as of the best artists of our time. She's young and has a whole career ahead of her, but she's already 2 for 2 in my book.

Post by: Chamillitary Click on February 15, 2011, 06:59:42 PM: I have the album on the iPod; excited to bump this. I just hope the rest of the album is on the same level as "Cold War" & "Come Alive".

Post by: teecee on February 15, 2011, 07:47:49 PM: Best album last year besides Kanye, Arcade Fire, and Titus Andronicus.

If you like Andre 3000, BOB besides his mad commercial singles, or just want some different shit, check it

Post by: Chamillitary Click on February 15, 2011, 08:31:49 PM: After listening to her album, half of it was dope & half of it was kinda boring, in my opinion.

Yet, I still anticipate future projects lol.

Post by: OG Jaydc on February 15, 2011, 09:23:55 PM: Janelles always going to be one of those artists that's wildly over rated by some and completely brushed off by others.

If she just made a complete album with all her songs at a high tempo, she could make a great album.

Even the production wasn't there when she was on some slow song. Kinda disappointed in this; but it shows her potential.

I like this concept. Not feeling all the songs cause some genres she touches are not my cup of tea, but overall a highly enjoyable album.
