The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time 475. Janet Jackson, 'Rhythm Nation' WRITER(S):James Harris, Janet Jackson, Sly Stone, Terry Lewis Jackson’s socially conscious Number Two hit came together late in the sessions for her blockbuster LP Rhythm Nation 1814. Co-producer Jimmy Jam recalled being in the studio and “switching between MTV and CNN. Watching music videos on one side and watching atrocities on the other. Somehow they all merged together. The idea for ‘Rhythm Nation’ was you can dance, but we can also do something more intelligent.” When Jam heard Sly and the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” at a restaurant, he raced to the studio to sample it. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767/janet-jackson-rhythm-nation-3-1224862/

Totally forgot all about it, and here we are in September and I'm thinking this could've waited until mid November.

Isn't that where she's from?

Hopefully now a lot of ppl can shut up.

interesting article.

It feels like a grower, but it is a good song. I feel like Cardi being on the song will cause Normani's song to get overshadowed.

Might be finishing the album.

This is the reality that I've pretty much settled on. Everybody isn't meant to make it big no matter how talented they are, or appear to be no shade. She just doesn't have the "It" factor that superstars have, or need to have to make it to that level. I think she has potential because she can clearly dance. She just needs to up her music game, cuz yeah the song, to me, just doesn't have replay value. I'll give it a few more listens before I commit to that statement though.

I honestly didn't even notice the sample until someone pointed it out. I think the video, and specifically the choreography, are getting more attention than the song itself. The song, to me, is just ok. It feels more experimental than anything in the sense of the label and producers trying to find a sound that works for her.

I think the video is upstaging the song, if that makes sense.
