It is so sad to see that people can’t appreciate her music because it isn’t the typical bullshit that your repeatedly hear on the radio. Janelle Monae is a true artist; talented and unafraid to be outside the box. Go Janelle!

I’m so glad you fuckers are pressed, unlike Rihanna, she don’t need “People” telling here when to drop an album, or be a slut to attract attention!! So glad to see a woman that has a positive vibe about her and is willing to be herself, regardless of what the haters have to say!!! Her album is better then Rihanna has made in her whole career !!! She is smarter than that whore will ever be, at least she has enough sense to start her own record label and distribute her own music!!!! I can clearly see all of you are mad that she is not your typical whore, pussy ppopin an selling out to appeal to you lames! Janelle keep doing you and when you win your Grammys smash them bitches in the haters face! unlike that slut Rihanna, she doesn’t have to piggy back off other artist to get a hit!!! Fuck you haters, the movement has just begun!!!

Say what you want about being different and all that bs…but I’m not digging her. And don’t try to box me in because my music taste is very eclectic. #kanyeshrug
