Janelle Monae's album is one of the better R&B releases so far this year to me. Name 3 albums released this year better than it.

On the other hand Ciara is average at best; especially when you compare her to many of the other R&B artist's that came up around the same time as her such as Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Ashanti and even someone like Amerie who was less successful than Ciara.
Earth Wind and Fire's latest album says hello.

She's dope but I feel like people do overrated her. Great singer, good song writer but she clearly struggles to make songs that best market her (singles). Also if you ask what her musical style is...honestly does she have one? So much of her stuff is just mixing other eras, which goes along with the "android" persona; her music is like what you'd expect a robot to make, if it heard James Brown/Prince/Motown/etc. Not knocking her, I think her last two albums are damn good...but yea..

Also I wonder if her style is getting played out. She's been dressing the same for so long, I kinda feel like jeez if you gonna explore 30-40 years of black music why not explore 30-40 years of black fashion.

:Bryan:.. I'm sure I was the only person who drove to work this morning listening to the Cinematic Orchestra. That's the problem on this board. If you don't like drake you are a Kendrick Stan. If you like drake you can't like Kendrick or Cole. Lol now cause I've said Janelle monae is trash I must listen to Ciara who isn't even a bad artist. :mindblown:..i just pulled up at a light and a chick was bumping Ciara lol. Don't nobody listen to no fukking Janelle monae. She was marketed as the female prince whatever that means and she just doesn't make good music. It's all over the place with no direction.

I wasn't listening to it this morning but I fukks with this joint:



Really nice jazz track. :obama:

You still wrong on Janelle but I appreciate a person with a good ear. Maybe she's just not for you. I can't listen to Nikki Manaj or Kendrick but I respect their talent. At least you can do the same for the queen of electroR&Bfunk.

Don't see how anyone can hate on the girl musically, especially the new album (save the Dance Apocolyptcic). And then I saw one of you bums say she was Neo-Soul :stopitslime:

I put her new album on my girls iPhone and she loves it. She had no idea of who she was or anything.

Man, looking back at this thread, it's funny to see how many co-signs were dropped even though it seemed like a troll thread :heh:

Before this thread, hate for this chick was rare on here (if not nonexistent)......the fact that's she's pretty, obviously helped that

I think some of these nikkas KNEW damn well they wasn't feelin' her music like that, but decided not to voice it to avoid lookin' like a hatin' ass nikka

bytch just seem like one of those artists who some people like to pretend to 'get' and be a fan of, just because they obviously have talent and because they're 'different'. I think that's what's been happening on here up until recently

Now some bold-ass nikka announces how much he thinks she sucks, and some of these nikkas slowly coming out of hiding on some

And they like.......

:lupe: "well since it's been brought up.......I don't fukk with her music like that either....."

:skip: "well now that you mention it, her music isn't really for me......"

:wow: "I don't hate her, I respect her talent but she's just not my style....."



:dead:

I'm sorry.....but like I said before, the bytch makes boring-ass music. Great singer, not criticizing her lyrics, but she can't hold anyone's attention for long. She was kinda gettin' there with that Q.U.E.E.N. track, but even that wasn't that great

I'm not saying she needs to put out a club banger or something that tops the charts, but she needs some more memorable-sounding shyt. Everything I've hear from her so far was boring, forgettable, or just weird

She needs to put out more of this:



And less of this:
