Bow down. Respect. I fall at the altar and am not worthy.

But before Bey was grown, there was Janet, Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.

Janet released her breakthrough album Control in 1986 when I was just a year old. It hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts and sold more than 14 million copies, because it was seriously out of control awesome. (See what I did there?)

1. Janet told men EXACTLY how it is. Who run the world? Janet.

2. And she wasn’t above a first-rate cut down while dancing in gold, like a BOSS.

“What Have You Done for Me Lately” was the lead single from Control. It was life-changing.

3. Her songs were all about being strong and most important: INDEPENDENT.

All the women who are independent, throw your hands up at me!

4. She was a feminist and she looked fierce as shit doing it.

“Nasty” was the second single off of Control.

5. She didn’t just embody respect, she demanded it.
