    Why Chris Rock Really Regrets Joking about Janet Jackson

    in All About Janet

    Posted

    I'm not sure what that means... Everything is always good before shit hits the fan. That's life

    Justin gets a lot of the blame because it is more convenient for Janet "fans" :umm: YA know.. Instead of blaming her and her team for thinking of the stunt

    Julissa made decisions as well

     

    He made the decision to do the stunt as well. There were TWO people on the stage.

     

    He made the decision to throw Janet under the bus when shit hit the fan. 

     

    He made the decision to play the victim. 

     

    People that aren't Julissa stans, trying to make people conveniently forget his part in the whole thing (such as yourself), still hold him accountable for that. 

     

    He will ALWAYS be on the shit list for many (and as you're well aware, I've never been a Justina fan..... Ever).

    TLC wants your money to fund new album...

    I think it's a good thing, and something more artists should look into. Not necessarily a Kickstarter Campaign, but looking for non-traditional methods to fund their projects. Especially, legends in the business.

     

    TLC could find a label that would sign them, but they would end up in a situation where they have very little creative control, and not have the backing they need in terms of promotion. 

     

    They can put out the project for much less and (possibly) sign a simple distribution deal with a major label. It's a win-win situation for them when you really think about it.

    What Do We Know About Cleopatra's Ancestry?

     

    The Ptolemy dynasty was descended from the Greek Macedonian Ptolemy Soter, established as ruler of Egypt by Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt in 305 B.C.E. (In other words, they were imperialist outsiders.) Many of their marriages were incestuous, with brothers marrying sisters -- but not all the children born are known to have had both fathers and mothers who were Ptolemies.

     

    We are not certain of the heritage of Cleopatra's mother or her paternal grandmother. That leaves 50% to 75% of her genetic heritage unknown -- and ripe for speculation.

     

    Is there any evidence that either her mother or paternal grandmother was a black African? No. "We don't know the heritage of" means just that. We don't know.

     

    Is there any evidence that either of those women were not black Africans? No, by the same reasoning.

     

    Cleopatra's Paternal Grandmother

     

    Many scholars believe that Cleopatra's paternal grandmother was a concubine. That woman's background has been assumed to be either Alexandrian or Nubian. She may have been ethnically Egyptian, and she may have had a heritage which we'd today call "black."

     

    Cleopatra's Mother

     

    Cleopatra's mother is usually identified as her aunt, Cleopatra V, daughter of Ptolemy IX. Cleopatra V's mother is also unknown; Cleopatra V was not the daughter of a royal wife, but we don't know if the mother was another Ptolemy relative or a concubine of Egyptian or Semitic African or black African background.

    Just sharing.... There is no conclusive evidence of her race. There is just as good a chance of her being black as being white. Therefore, at best, I would say a mixed actress should portray her. Nothing to do with the topic... just saw Cleopatra mentioned. Carry on. 

    The Janet Jackson Amorphous Remix Album - Volume 1

    in All About Janet

    Posted

    Hey guys!

     

    On October 3rd, 2014, I released my first ever remix album. It was my first "official" attempt at creating an album filled with quality remixes that helped not only showcase my talents, but provide a new take on various tracks. 

     

    The artist I decided to take on?

     

    JANET. 

     

    https://soundcloud.com/theofficialamorphous/sets/the-janet-jackson-amorphous

     

    I meant to post this as soon as it came out, but I've been so busy with school. For those who'd like to know who I am, my name is Jimir Reece Davis, and I go by Amorphous production wise. I'm sixteen on the brink of turning seventeen, and I'm proud to say that music is my passion. 

     

    As for the remix album itself, I decided to try to take on some songs that not many have remixed (ie. Would You Mind). "Would You Mind (Amorphous Remix)" takes the original sultry track, and revamps it into a jazzy-trap remix, yet still manages to capture the original sexiness of the song. "The Pleasure Principle (Amorphous Remix)" is a 90s house anthem. It features melodic pianos, retro bass, and a sick groove to go along with Janet's cooing vocals. "Feedback (Amorphous Remix)" takes a slightly more experimental approach, one that might work on the dance floor, one that might not. Trying new things is what I do best, whether it ends up successful or not. This remix is more of a modern hybrid house track, but many people seem to enjoy it! "Scream (Amorphous Remix)" is an attempted 80s approach on the iconic collaboration between Michael and Janet. "If (Amorphous Club Mix)" is definitely a track for the clubs. Taking note of the 90s house anthems that existed from before, I attempted to not only keep that essence, but bring along a more modern feel for the new crowd. 

     

    Overall, I think this is one of my best works yet, and I truly can't wait for you guys to hear Volume 2 soon! 

     

    Tracklist:

    "Would You Mind (Amorphous Remix)"

    "The Pleasure Principle (Amorphous Remix)"

    "Scream (Amorphous Remix)"

    "If (Amorphous Club Mix)"

     

    Videos for most of the tracks and an exclusive sample will be uploaded to officialshadeTV and ithl123.

     

    Thanks again!

     

    JIMIR! I didn't know you were a member on this site! WELCOME!  :dance:  :excited:

     

    That Doesn't make it less awkward

    Stop Game.  :rolleyes:
