Can't believe it's almost been exactly two years since this classic was released. It peaked at #63 on the Hot 100 and spent 10 weeks at #1 on the UAC. Classic Janet.

Wow. 2 years? This song is still a groove. She was robbed of a Grammy nomination and a win for this.

Excellent. Her best single of the past decade and a half.

I'll never forget the joy that was finding out this song was coming and then hearing it. It had been over 7 years since "Feedback" and Discipline and the music world had just felt empty w/o Janet.

^ AS. F#CK. Ironic given that dumb (what's up with the three 'e's?) title.
Two years later and I still haven't gotten over how boring this is. I remember when the snippet was released... and then the full thing... So many years later and she had come back with this huge snoozefest. I couldn't wrap my head around that. And to make things worse, everyone and their mothers fawned over it... comparing it to "That's The Way Love Goes" even. The sacrilege! The instrumental of TTLWG alone blows "No Sleeep"'s 2 chord instrumental out of the water.
Anyway, the song is far from horrid, but it was incredibly underwhelming. Thank God 95% of the album was far superior to NS in quality. IMO

This was her best single since I Get Lonely. The album didn't entirely live up to it, but it was her strongest in a long time as well.

The production here is just insane. Beautiful and classic. This one will have longeivity.
And her silky vocals were back! Singing in full voice no less.
Full marks, Jan!

Love it! It's like 90s Janet came back to us.

Favourite since Someone to Call My Lover. I died at someone's comment about the video in the original thread "is she a real estate agent?"

This was classic Janet. That groove! I wish her vocals during the verses were a little more clear, but it wasn't a song killer. And J.Cole's verse is perfect, he nestles right into the song like he was always there.

I wouldn't say it's among her very best, but it's classic Janet and is definitely a nice groove.
