Y’all are trying to slay a bihhhh to deaf.  And yes, I mean D-E-A-F (because, duh).  You give us Cardi (banger).  Then #Beychella (on the floor 💀 💀 💀).  And now?!.  The latest in Afro-Futurism via Janelle (crash cart on ready).

There is the Prince influence thus, an inclination to compare Dirty Computer to Purple Rain.  Ok, I can dig it.  Then, there’s thinking oooo, an addition to the visual album genre like, Bey’s Lemonade which is no insult. And of course with the releases of Django Jane, PYNK, Make Me Feel, and I Like That, some want to compare this to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Bad, and Scream.  Yes to all the comparisons, but stiiiiill kinda…no.

Janelle has worked hard to maintain integrity and maximize creativity.  She has created a lane…hell, maybe her own highway. Along the way, she’s picked up a league of musically gifted misfits (like St. Beauty who are featured in the emotion picture, Jidenna, Roman, and Deep Cotton).

Just outchea riding the shit out of this futuristic highway — from Metropolis to Cover Girl to Hidden Figures, she gives us funk, fashion, film, femme fatale, and she’s woke?!.  She gets a YASSS #fortheculture.  Don’t judge me, there aren’t many fitting colloquial phrases that have the same emphasis and inflection.

Bottomline: can’t wait for the cinematography, looks, and interpretation of the music.

Post game recap soon come.
