Having seen Janelle Monae perform live more than once, all I can say is…damn. There’s a huge talent gap between her and a lot of these other chicks. The energy she gives is incredible. As far as range goes she’s supposed to be Eb3 to C7. Range doesn’t equal talent though, as Sade always seems to prove, but in terms of versatility Janelle is a top talent. It’s interesting to hear her unreleased album before she went full Metropolis ;She basically does all the same generic R&B stuff that the other girls do, except better. My top 3 are def Jill Scott, Jen Hudson and Janelle Monae.
In terms of other chicks…I think Les Nubians, Sy Smith, Me’Shell N, Carmen Rodgers, and Teedra Moses are underrated. But the full underrated list would be pretty long so I’ll keep it simple.
Yeah even her older joints like “Letting Go” have a certain vibrancy that other contemporary R&B songs don’t have… because I don’t really like the R&B genre save fopr a very select few artists (Musiq and Liquid Spirits to name a few).
Janelle is a lot more than R&B, she experiments with multiple genres flawlessly.
Once I finally get to see her live, it will be one of the best days of my life.
I think Mariah Carey is getting their too as far as that vocal range. I lol at Bin Ladens level of simping he was willing to go to too meet Whitney Houston nigga wanted to murk bobby for tainting her.That nigga wanted to make Marvin’s IED
lol thats my boys god sister…he’s chris breezy’s cousin(he dances for him). i saw status update while the grammys are goin on and i was like nigga aignt you dancin in like 10 min haha.
TyBeats made that beat tho. SGP only made Pretty Flacko (nigga had a fucking COUNTERSTRIKE 1.6 sample) and Keep it G. And Dope Sample for Twelvy (Mel said he forced SGP to give it to him). SGP’s best production so far was on the NASA Tape. But he posted some new songs on his YouTube. They’re flames now. Allegedly some Rvidxer Clvn niggas are beefing with ASAP. Rocky dissed them in that David Banner song. SGP doesn’t live in NY anymore and moved back to Miami. But then Pretty Flacko came out so I guess they still on good terms. CLVN Keynyata said he had something spicy for 12y lol.
I been tryin to put y’all niggas on to Vince from 2010 :bluu:. StaplesxSweatshirt>>>>>>EarlWolf. Tbh tho that tape was disappointing. Kinda sloppy and didn’t even have his best verses
Nah. He not in OF. But he’s lyrically up there with Earl though
