Honestly, I don't know if I was just naive, but I really thought he was just a coward and didn't stand up for her in fear of affecting his own building career, but this is just disgusting, and showcases he clearly didn't care about Janet's entire legacy being erased from history and reduced to a stupid 0.5 second of boob.
He's not the only bad guy here, but man, it is good to see the public narrative finally shifting towards Janet (and Britney's) support. Eagerly awaiting a full redemption arc for her, because she absolutely deserves more appreciation for setting the blueprint for so many artists.

I'm still sad that there is STILL no dvd releases of her earlier tours "Rhythm Nation" and "janet.", but Madonna has dvd releases of nearly damn all of her tours! Exactly! There's only lq VHS quality clips on youtube. MESS

Yeah I just saw these receipts. I knew the lyrics in Give it to Me were about Janet, but all those other performances...what a disgusting asshole. I hope someone tagged him in all those video posting. Like bitch we know who you are and will never forget. And what also frustrates me is all the black producers and artists that supported him. I wonder if they’ve seen these?!

He think he's all that funny..but he's really just super corny as hell. It's really sickening that he made fun out of Janet's expense all those years ago. 🤬 He's such an arrogant douche...

I Want You is in the Top 10 GOAT Janet songs. Fight me. Also, one of my favorite Kanye productions EASILY. He did Queen Janet so right. She also sounds so engaged and alive. Enunciation and EVERYTHING.

Of course Control went to number one because of Justin’s white ass apology. Never mind the 35th anniversary...
The fact Janet is being looked at again because a documentary on white Britney and now this media spin on “Control” sales just speaks volumes to Me.

Wait, I thought the Give It To Me verse was him shading Prince? (Prince was one that said “sexy never left”)

All for you actually sold 3 million in the U.S. and should be re-certified. Control through All for you should all be re-certified for at least a million each. And DOAD should be at 4 million.

She sold a ton thru Columbia House in the 90s. Those old school “record clubs”. IDK if those were ever counted?

They are for a few other artists, but not Janet. That’s why Control through All For You could easily be re-certified for 1-2 million each. And discipline could probably be certified Gold.

The irony is that Janet is the one still alive and well.

Before the ban, pop radio was all over it. I just wish this song had a better video. I think it may be my fave! I hate that she was banned (not only because of the injustice of the whole thing with that one flop white boy, but because) I feel like she wasn't "everywhere" in a sense... like I just remember All For You being around and then bam, imo nothing... Obviously no fault of hers... What is up with that video? LOVE the iconic outfit, but yeah... also I'm assuming there's an actual full one and not that edit one on youtube?

He should have been really ashamed of himself. He made Janet looked really bad. Not a good way to boost up her image.

5 days later...Justin needs to do more. The internet now needs to go after FCC and CBS and whoever else was involved with Janet's blacklisting.

I grew up as a teenager in the 80s so I was a big Janet fan since the first single of Control. Lover her, her music and her video. And enjoyed following each and every single on the charts until the late 90s. Loved her full albums Control, Rhythm, Janet and Velvet. The four of them fantastic. Iconic. Once I got to All For You (even before the scandal) her album magic ended for me. I still liked the singles and some album tracks here and there but the album as a whole lost its appeal. It got worse with Damita Jo and 20 Y.O. And I guess also Discipline. I cannot recall much from it. Today I decided to revisit all those albums after YEARS since the last time and do a playlist of my favorite songs. All I can say so far that it's shaping up to be a SHORT playlist. Now I hear tons of sexy/sexual ballads that all sound the same to me and just draaaag. It will be for sure a playlist I will LOVE of mostly upbeat songs, but it'll proof my point that those 4 albums never appealed that much to me as a whole. It was a surprise to me in 2017 when I finally got into 2015's Unbreakable and ended up enjoying it all very much. But now in 2021 I cannot mention a single song from it... :( I will revisit it too in case something can be added to my playlist.
I will be interested to hear the opinion of young fans, like the ones who became fans with All For You. Did you explore the older albums that you didn't "live"? What did you think? Or do you prefer better the ones that came after?

Coming tomorrow - Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis will be discussing the making of "Control" in honour of its 35th anniversary.
