Gasp! No more “Game”?!?  

Jesus, this went from a harmless discussion to “that escalated quickly” for real!!!

Riiiight....i was like “oh there’s more pages to this thread”.... not at all the turn i thought this would take 

I just gave DJ (including the bonus and unreleased tracks) a listen, it’s better than janet. 

janet. was even more all over the place than DJ, and both had the same theme.... love 

DJ actually sounds like an evolved janet.

she would have gotten more hit singles under her belt point blank period.....album was all over the place though

She literally described it has her and her schizophrenic personalities

If 86-01 is the golden years, Damita Jo is silver.. 20 is Bronze and a Discipline is equivalent to 82-84 and didn’t place 

I love Damita Jo btw. I’m just not going to pretend it didn’t get what it deserved or that it’s Janet’s gold standard... bc it’s not. The singles were trash (chosen poorly) and the music was lackluster

But the fact is that Damita Jo didn’t get the treatment it deserved. 

Had Janet not been blacklisted, toured, and outsold A4Y... you’d be singing a diff tune

Unless they were in the studio.. they didn’t sabotage shit

You don’t have to be in the studio to affect what goes on inside of it

Yes it was unfortunate but Janet played a role in it...that's all I'm saying. She also played a role in releasing mediocre music when you had everybody and they momma pretending to be you and beating you at your own game. Jlo, Britney, Beyonce and the birth of Ciara were all present in 2004 and you thought it was cute to make an album talking about how calm and relaxing it is to be on the beach listening to waves...Chile...she needed to come out swinging and she didn't. Damita Jo was lazy and then 20YO happens and Ciara and others perfected their Janet impressions and well she wasn't needed anymore and the fact that she was being blackballed didn't help BUT if that music was undeniable...there is no way you could have silenced her. 

I find it amazing at how u criticize her artistic choices. She clearly isn’t and wasn’t pressed  and didn’t need to come out swinging Bc no1 came close to taking her spot. 

If any of Janet’s top albums were released after the Super Bowl, they would’ve flopped. 

You cant get and hit songs on the radio if you are being blacklisted and vilified

And who planned it? Did they sabotaged her music Or did she do that herself? 

That was the point of the post

THEY SABOTAGED her music.

the tea has already been spilt, so why u actin brand new

Oh I do see color...I believe I saw a BROWN boob with a SILVER plated sun nipple ring attached at the end of it. What was not present was the RED lace that was supposed to stay on...that white privelege is sneaky I tell ya 

The red lace was supposed to stay on, BUT it was ripped off. 

Even if it was planned, the aftermath was uncalled for.... and now the receipts show that Janet was sabotaged, so what more prof do u need about it not being Janet’s fault?

Fair enough. 

I personally always thought there was more of a blacklist with 20 YO. MTV still played her videos until DJ era was over as far as I remember. But it was so long ago that I can’t remember much. 

Actually with 20 YO, at least BET would play her videos... she even did 2 Access Granted shows with them

Correct. I agree

When I say “trash” I’m comparing it to 1986-2001 & 2015.. JANET JACKSON ONLY 

I don’t care what she’s performing.. it is not better than her 1986-2001 & 2015 music. 

If that music was better then she’d be singing You Can Be Mine and What’ll i Do instead of Feedback and Moist

Thank God it was Justin's idea to go on stage and reveal an article of clothing. I'm still wondering how he talked Janet into that. 

Thank god you don’t see color and how Justin and his white privilege helped him in that situation

Lmfao y’all wild 

DJ went platinum bc of the Super Bowl exposure. Huge first week sales! Then what? 20 YO.. idk how it “shipped” platinum. Lost the #1 spot to some hasbeen rapper 

Disappointment doesn’t matter. Claiming a Top 20 hit was pretty sad now and in 2008

The point was that sales and album placement don’t determine what’s trash and what’s not bc her music that u call trash did better then the music you deem good....furthermore, she’s still performing ANDS, Feedback, Moist, Ruff, RWU....so clearly she doesn’t think it’s trash 

AND at her shows, when they play her unreleased tracks from the decade u call trash, the crowd gets the most hype

Sales don't always equal success. Plus, literally everyones album sales decline. 

TVR era got Janet 1 #1 hit

AFY era got Janet 2 #1 hits

It's likely, with the previous success, that Damita Jo might've got Janet one more #1 Hot 100 hit. Like @janet.1814 says, things like a world tour and the Superbowl shouldve made Janets exposure on the charts even bigger (which results in higher sales)

And sales shouldn’t be the only thing being focused on, it’s an entire picture

Her music was trash between 2004-2014 compared to 1986-2001 & 2015 sooo  

Trash? Maybe in your opinion, but she still managed to go platinum in 2004, and in 2006, and hit a top 20 in 2008

compared to her nontrash music in 2015+

When all else fails...blame the Super Bowl or Gil or Jermaine Dupri.

It's never the music or Janet 

 

When all else fails blame Janet, the victim, of racism and sexism.... yeah 

IMO I think “the scorn” could’ve been her biggest selling album of that decade

Janet was on a decline to begin with. I would have never assumed, between 2002-2004.. pre-blacklist, that her next album was going to sell more copies than her previous and greatest album of the 2000s

All for You could’ve easily outsold TVR had Janet not canceled her tour. That being said, it’s not hard to assume (with the super bowl + SNL + world tour + regular Janet style promotion from Virgin) that DJ would outsell AFY

How can something that wasn’t released be expected to sell x amount? Predictions mean nothing. 

Based on sales of previous albums + promotion of current album 

clearly they didnt anticipate a blacklisting 

it would be interesting to see where Janet’s career would’ve gone had she not been blacklisted
