How do you sell out this fucking hard? How is that even possible?

Is that Chris Rock from the Fifth Element?
>>54820206
Sounds like some shitty beyonce. Fuck you Janelle.
Archandroid will always be one of my favorite albums though
she's a woman, what do you expect?
>$$$
WHAT THE FUCK
>>54820206
It's gonna be on a Wondaland compilation album - it's going to be different from a Janelle Monae LP, and a few of those artists could use white people yoga dollars probably.
>>54820206
>steal music
>complain when artists sell-out
choose one
>>54820206
Yeah I'm pretty upset about this. Archandroid was fantastic, Electric Lady was pretty good but not as interesting, and this song is poop. I hope this isn't indicative of her direction
that same will happen to grimes, since she joined roc nation
those comments are gold
>>54820463
its from the compilation EP for her new label
it's not really "new janelle" in that sense
>pop artist makes pop song
>everyone gets mad
>>54820230
>>54820206
I... I don't even have words for this.
I don't think I've ever been so badly let down by a single before, and this is fucking singles we're talking about here.
>>54821046
people are used to he making music that sounds like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f74cz9vASXo&list=PL35AF11A9DDC986CB
Not generic nigger rap
I hate FKA twigs so much
>>54820206
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
oh WOW
>>54820316
Mate, I couldn't give a damn if it was the backing track to the Queen's speech; terible music is terrible music.
>>54821196
this is garbage too
Holy shit what the fuck
I loved ArchAndroid to death and now this?
What the fuck man
furrealtho, this is at least a tiny bit better than Katy Perry.
Not even technically a solo effort
>>54821395
just like your taste in music
Wow, a mainstream pop artist made shitty music for the lowest common denominator. I sure am surprised.
>people on /mu/ tried to push her as some visionary
>she has harped about 'muh strong womyn doing strong music' multiple times
>does this
lmao
>>54821600
This world is truly shit. I don't mind her doing music for strong wimmin but it can't be shit like this.
>>54820206
I'm sad now.
>>54820206
Holy shit, the damage control in the comments:
> it's called "progression". she does a new sound for every album. nothing wrong with that at all. you don't know if she's gonna be rocking a tuxedo on her next tour or not, so don't be negative.
>Its called songwriting folks. She's being CREATIVE... I guess people don't know what that means anymore... smh
>A lot of people want to put her in a box, which means they're not real fans because they'd know how she strives to defy labels.
It's a fucking twerk song. Just admit that she wrote what's commonly known as one of the most unoriginal kinds of tracks you can possibly produce in this medium.
>>54821638
Like anyone gives a shit about the sexual lyrics.
>>54821617
>"she's progressing as an artist, a creative person has to push new frontiers"
I'm fucking dying over here.
>>54821638
I promised myself I'd never have to go through the pain of looking at tween Youtube comments again.
I was wrong...
>>54820206
my poor Janelle she had a cute dyke look for a nignog
but yeah this is ok, she wants that money, it's fine
>>54821679
They're staying true to the original meaning of "fan" as in "fanatic" defending everything no matter what.
>>54821638
>She has not sold out
>It's the same message wrapped in a bit more fun (and marketable) package
Make that "entirely based around being marketable"...
Oh, and that's the very definition of "selling out".
There are 2 guys who write all her music, she's only the face and the singer. The true source of talent hasn't been publicly shamed by this.
>>54821744
Sheeps will be sheeps.
I don't know how to feel.
>>54820206
WHY
Monáe, you're above this shit
NO
Which is a bigger sell out, this or Go ft. Blood Diamond?
>>54821638
>You're holding her to an unfair high standard and restricting her from growing as an artist
Well then, I guess we'll just tell her that when she makes shit music, she'd doing a great job! That'll really make her want to improve.
>>54821638
This is stupid, Janelle has SPECIFICALLY been an asexual, revolutionary person in her music.
For fuck's sake, when people ask about her relationship status in interview she refuses to comment.
>>54820206
LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
welp time to listen to fka twigs
Is this the "I Love Janelle" General?
if so, contribootin:

>welp time to listen to fka twigs
Don't be a tryhard.
>>54821833
That doesn't sell records though.
>>54821638
>it's called "progression"
My fucking sides.
It doesn't matter what her new direction is. In any case she will NEVER top ArchAndroid.
>>54821845
At least Monáe had a good start.
Twigs has been bland shit since the beginning.
>>54821875
if I was trying hard I would have picked a different artist
>>54820206
>not a video of her twerking, dressing lewdly, or doing something about her hair
>>54821638
>so many comments addressing the various "complaints" about this album
>not a single one of them actually mentions the main problem that the song is unoriginal pop-rap "twerking" bullshit
>almost all of them focusing on lyricism when no one gives a shit about the lyrics
Will we ever hear a pop song as good as BaBopByeYa again in our lifetimes?
>>54821196
This why she made this song, she doesn't want you people as fans.
>>54821638
>Its called songwriting folks. She's being CREATIVE... I guess people don't know what that means anymore... smh
This one actually made me physically cringe. How fucking deluded do you have to be to see THIS as a more creative diversion?
Tbh I'm surprised more folks didn't see this coming after Electric Ladyland, collaborations with that group who sand TONIIIIII_I_I_I_IGHT WE ARE YUUUUNG etc
