She's had a few songs, but PrimeTime may be the only song she'll say she truly contributed to the game with...and I've been a fan of hers when she was dong open mics and being uncredited as a vocalist on Stankonia/Dungeon Family songs. :manny:

Meanwhile I've seen her do festivals live and kill it with her band. Had people that didn't know her music jamming out.

She unlike most new rap and rnb acts can eat of performance. You don't want to see ya average chart topper live because it's sad and hilarious. She is far from done.
I know this...but janelle has music generic enough to rock a "crowd" that doesn't know her music. Thats not necessarily a good thing.

TBH I don't really know her work but I think she eats good here in Europe, I seem to see her name up regularly for festivals and whatnot, for what it's worth :yeshrug:

Let these wack ass rappers and "singers" drop a project every month.

They have to. Their music has no substance at all.

And ppl are amazed at these nikkaz' work ethic, but that dont mean shyt if the end product is so so.

The GOAT "work ethic" album is All Eyez On Me.

Aint any of these new nikkaz can put out an album that's fukkin wit that.

Name one so I can :mjlol:

Janelle Monae will be around for DECADES.

Everyone is not trying to be Taylor Swift or Rihanna. Her latest song was her biggest song too, so if we go by historic data it might "Happen".

It seems like she is happy with what she is doing, she's getting great reviews, has her fanbase that she can continuously grow if she keeps on being innovative and dropping good music.

Having multiple #1 records etc is not for everyone. It was pretty given that it wouldn't happen, she came out like she was an indie artist or something.
