Great write up austin ..from an african perspective sadly there is not much i can say on it. i may have been too young to remember if and when rhythm nation had an impact here
but the album that made waves all over this continent was The velvet rope .
Also i read the second draft..is there a word limit..its felt awfully short..im sure we can squeeze some more juice into the body..can we talk about the impact of that album on todays society ..pop culture ..influence .how it set a trend that many great musical acts followed .etc A very fast reader i am..i literally glanced over it in 30seconds..we need it a tad bit longer if that possible
