I’ve long been a big fan of Janelle Monae. I really liked the beginning of her career. She was really creative and had a very unique, clear creative vision. She was tight with Big Boi and Prince and she seemed like follow in Prince’s footsteps.
And I’ve been pleased with some of her crazy antics of late. She’s got a Baracking body and I’m always game for some T&A.
But.
And this is a huge but — I’m growing to hate her music.
Gone are all the kooky, weird shit that made her great. Her actual music these days seems to very mainstream and, like, trying too hard. It’s very strange. I don’t get it. I don’t understand what is going on.
Could have been that Prince was something of a mentor to her and when he died, she lost her way? I dunno. It’s all very curious.
