Do you consider Janelle Monae a sell out?

[Chris Cool]

it's one song off a compilation ep.

No, I think she's simply embracing her sexuality. hell, even her lyrics in "yoga" states that. and you can't "police" her either.

"Crown on my head but the world on my shoulder
I'm too much a rebel, never do what I'm supposed ta
Bend it never break it, baby watch and I'ma show ya
Stretching on my cash, got my money doing yoga
Sometimes I'm peachy, and sometimes I'm vulgar
Even when I'm sleeping I got one eye open
You cannot police me, so get off my areola
Get off my areola"

see lyrical meanings here on this site: Janelle Monáe (Ft. Jidenna) – Yoga

I'm starting to hate "genius"
For the record, it's pg not peachy

Still I haven't heard this on the radio.

TBH this is her weakest song.

Ive heard it a few times on radio. I had no idea it was her. Matter fact i was surprised when i found out it was her. Doesnt really fit her but she's human and got bills to pay like everyone else i guess and needs that "crossover" hit. So i guess if OP calls that "selling out" then maybe so

She's not naked or anything so i dont see a big issue really. She may alienate a few "fans" with this, but were they really fans to begin with?

That's what I thought as well. but it seems like every other lyric site has it down as peachy though. x.x

I've listened to all her shyt. again, this is a one-offf song off a COMPILATION ep.

 

[Taadow]

This is all you gotta do to be a sellout now??

 

[John Mayer]

All her music sucks to me.

 

[MillionMills]

Whenever a female starts "embracing her sexuality" out of nowhere it's selling out to me

Who gives a fukk if it's on a complication EP?

You realize it's HER label and HER track, so now she supposed to have zero musical integrity because it's a a comp EP?

Nah, she's chasing the fame, her last LP was pretty safe, I saw the signs
