But aren't like 8 of the songs from RN tho. That's a lot actually

weed, but not regularly. i used it more for sex or socializing Ecstasy 2-4 times in my whole life I drink often. i'm dj a after all

Normani is good, but I agree we were getting all flash and little stage presence. It's ok to break away from the choreography for a moment to connect with the crowd and give them some substance. That's all that was missing.

Throw It Back is hot, yall tripping

I feel like janet only releases footage when the media says something that isnt true then she throws them off their game. My two cents

Clubs that fit over 500 people are rare, most have closed down. The Tunnel, Limelight, ect. The average bar is about 80-200 people. There's maybe a few big venues left

Most of the mega clubs have closed

I think this solidifies that the Damita Jo era will always be the most controversial

Why would they? They haven't lived long enough. Friendship takes years to build. You don't know who your friends are really until 35+

Overdue. Better late than never. Can't wait to watch. Finally a reason to tune in after years. JLo was a mess

Lies.... Every artist on the come up from Kelly Rowland to Nicole Sershinger or whatever her name is would trade places with Janet for those songs on Discipline.

DJ will always be controversial. And every football season people will talk about it #Legend

When you're so good that you can't compete with your own legacy

Ya'll trashing Janet and other credible artists when the #1 song in 2007 was Girl Shake That Laffy Taffy Let's not act like art and good writing was a priority in the wake of the digital generation. A lot of songs that have been hits since then have been out right corny, and are not deep in content at all. Pretty basic in comparison to anything on Damita Jo, 20YO, and Discipline actually. By 2010 Beyonce and Usher were dumming down their music to fit in with the young kids. "Surf board" and "Everybody wanna be like me" is what this generation likes so it doesn't matter how much Shakespeare Janet or anyone else adds to their music. Ratchet is in, poetry is out. The only "artists" getting credit are white singers mimicking black sounds. Yes what Janet put out in 2004-2008 was lackluster (For Janet standards). But in terms of what was put out in the overall music industry they slay. I remember Kelis put out a great album, of course it didn't chart but it was still a good album compared to hits on the radio.

I'm getting back into remixing and figured we can start a thread for new gems. Whats the tea on made for now, did any dj's put out remixes? Anyways I did a cut of Feedback. I went for a RnB/Hip Hop sound https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2js25pp1dpviss/Janet Jackson - Feedback (Ephraim Adamz Remix).mp3?dl=0 For So Excited this is my attempt at Pop https://www.dropbox.com/s/javxg57qniku3f4/Janet Jackson - So Excited (Ephraim Adamz Remix).mp4?dl=0

well honestly drag brunch is more a white thing but regular brunches are a everyone thing

why are you arguing with people that don't go out. they're part of the problem lol the only fan base i get requests from in the gay clubs anymore are lambs actually. janet fans need to step their pussy up.

oh good i need receipts for madonna fans thank think she does everything first

I was searching for her 2004 NY pride performance. Any idea if clips were ever around at that time?

Why am I just now hearing this?!

Damito Jo isn't a bad album, you just hold Janet to a higher standard because of who she is. Beyonce Dangerously In Love, Madonna American Life, Ashanti Chapter 2, Mya Moodring, Britney In The Zone, Alicia Keys or whoever else releases music in the 6 months before wasn't exactly ground breaking. Let's not act like the early 2000's was some sort of Golden Era in music Things didn't even really pop off until Usher, Mariah, Fergie, Nelly Furtado, Missy's Cookbook, and B'Day

1. MONEY - The average bar owner is over the age of 40. Young Millennial and Generation Z grew up during the the Great Recession of the late 2000s. They don't have the coin to pay $13 a square foot for a building, plus liquor license, machinery license, music license, food license, renovations, fire codes, safety, employ staff, DJ, and security. Stock their bar. You're looking at $30,000 JUST TO LEASE a property the size of a three bedroom apartment. Especially in the LGBT community where the older gays sold out or didn't pass down their establishments to the younger movement. 2. MUSIC INDUSTRY - Downloading, Streaming, and Youtube. People have access to technology now to hear whatever they want, whenever they want, as many times as they want. They don't have to restrict themselves to a DJ's playlist at a bar. That's why concerts, festivals, and live performances are doing better. When I'm promoting and say $5 Cover, the first thing people ask (Especially gay clubs) is "Are you having a show?", "Strippers?", "Artist?", "Drag?". They want to know where their money is going. They want an "experience", something to Snapchat and Instagram about. Drinks and music ain't a reason cause they can do that at home. All these stripper and drag reality shows aren't helping either cause RuPaul has commercialized it, so now your local talent is suffering. You don't have to go to clubs anymore to watch drag. 3. DIVERSITY - Every place is the same and caters to white people. There's a lot of racism in nightlife and people of color have few places to go without the "hip hop crowd stigma". Fear of their venue becoming "too urban". That means more bars closing at midnight and more college house parties playing Cardi B. 4. HEALTH MOVEMENT - Everyone is a vegan, fitness nut, and alcohol conscious . Juice bars, brunch, and day parties are the new thing. I don't even bother hosting events anymore if the kitchen closes before 1am. Food trucks have been my saviors. Or I bring a caterer that wants to sell plates. Once someone has to leave your party to grab a slice of pizza they aren't coming back. 5. AGE LIMIT/LEGALIZING MARIJUANA - Cities started banning 18 plus venues. You need young people to keep your dance club going. Point, blank, period. In Massachusetts they legalized weed. I went to the hookah bar a month later.... it was dead. I'm not sure why, I just know smoking lounges are suffering because of it. 6. THEME - Where's the glow lights? Where's the nice leather seats? Where's your stage? Why is the Lifetime channel playing on the TVs? Why isn't it dark and sexy in here? Why does your bar look like a trailer park? 7. MOBILITY - This generation doesn't drive. Public transit ends at midnight. Uber is great.. for rushing to work.

I mean I'm only a DJ that's always booked and you didn't ask me
