Jidenna had on a tshirt and shorts one day and someone said "This is the first time i've seen you not dressed as a Civil War general " and I have been laughing ever since
I appreciate her reinventing herself by her own terms. Comfortable with her body, showing her many sides. People must evolve!!! She owns her own label, writes her lyrics, she owns her own image, top general that built her own army and has stood beside them since the beginning. She never displays herself as nothing less than a queen that makes her own rules. I LOVE YOU JANelle and growing to love the #ClassicMan Jidenna (I love that song)!!!
Richelle Scott She don't own her own image, believe she has AR and PR...and this whole persona of her is constructed by the record lable or her managment team. So stop being so fvcking stupid.
S Thunda So... you DO know that the "label" you're speaking of is her own, right? Both this project and her solo material are on her own label. She only uses Bad Boy for distribution.
"I'm too much a rebel, never do what I’m supposed ta...Sometimes I'm peachy, and sometimes I'm vulgar... You cannot police me, so get off my areola" Anybody who is basically saying "Janelle you're not supposed to be doing this, go back to the same stuff you were doing before so we can respect you again!" Those lyrics were for you too.
lykkable7baby7 LOL! I caught that too! She sure told them. God, she's a grown woman allowed to be complex. And this song wasn't in any disrespectful to herself.
For everyone questioning the meaning, she said in an interview with The Breakfast Club that the song is meant to say what she's learned since beginning yoga a year ago. "To bend not break" when it comes to life's demands and hardships. She also said the song is "part party, part ponder" so it's meant to get you dancing but also leave you with food for thought. I mean I loved the song before I saw the interview because I got what she was getting at right away, but I see some people haven't caught it.
Esthersita Luerra it's only an illusion though sweetie but still ur thought is innocent and cute but video just an illusion......thank heaven we do have women like that though that come together that r natural....:)
I have always looked up to Janelle. She has a unique style that makes her stand out from the rest of the artist, she is just so underrated and i hate that. I love Janelle ❤❤
What I really hate is that even an artist like her nowadays has to make songs like this to get some popularity. I mean it has a nice club vibe but let's face it, this song is trash compared to her albums. I'm really annoyed that she made such artworks of albums yet this is her most popular song.
Janelle is underrated because she is an independent artist and not signed with any record labels. She actually OWNS her music, unlike Rihanna (whom I adore), many rappers, Nicky Minaj and many others. Even Beyoncé does not fully own her music. Janelle chose ownership over her product, rather than selling it away. Ps, that's why MJ & Prince are gone.
I never heard this song before, it is funny with a banger beat! Love Janelle she has a great personality and isn't afraid to use it in her music. Honesty in Art, imagine that.
Jamie Davis It is a new video. Yes, I love Janelle too. She is one of the few female artists who does not compromise her image for record sales and is actually talented.
You said she doesn't compromise. Well she just did. If u can't see how uncomfortable and unnatural her body language is in this video then you are blind. This was a force on her. No options available. People still seem to be totally in the dark about the industry. Jidanna is also talking about classic man when he's def gay... The gay agenda is real. I'm fine with gays but the message becomes mixed when kids start singing classic man and equate manliness with his image.
So if people don't know how to rate a masterpiece they just ignore it and pretend as tho it doesn't exist 😅😅😅😅this is pure perfection. I wanna live forever. But people just ignored it
Love you Janelle!!! Janelle is underrated because she is an independent artist and not signed with any major record label. She actually OWNS her music, unlike Rihanna (whom I adore), many rappers, Nicky Minaj and many others. Even Beyoncé does not fully own her music. Janelle chose ownership over her intellectual property, rather than selling it away. Ps, that's why MJ & Prince are gone. Ownership gives her complete creative control. This is also why she can say whatever she wants, unlike many artists singing only about love, drugs, sex, hoes, money & cars. I will keep on supporting you Janelle!
Katrien Potums- She still has Wondaland, which is all her. That's for whenever she needs to express her own full creative control and full legal rights. She has also signed with Epic, Bad Boy, and Atlantic. So what? Just because she chooses to collaborate with others on occasion doesn't negate the fact that she still has her own label. She's too talented to work in isolation. She's also too talented not to have her own total creative control whenever she sees fit. So she does both. 💪🏽
Okurrr!!!!✊🏽💪🏽✊🏽💪🏽🎶🎶👑👑👑🎵🤯🤯 FUTURISTIC TYPE S***! SHE'S AHEAD OF HER TIME!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH. SHE'S SUCH AN AMAZING ARTIST AND ACTRESS! I WISH HER ALL THE BEST POSITIVE VIBES, NOTHING BUT POSITIVE VIBES!!
@@chocobabes actually her Tessa are in relationship and nothing ever happened with Lupita that rumor took off after pictures of them hugging at an afterparty.
At first, i was surprised she made this type of song, doesnt seem like her style. That being said, I Love it. I love the video, not at all over-sexualized; shes just having fun with the girls. Very classy, very nice. Love IT!
Destyni Xula Eh that woman is a puppet of industry. She only does what they tell her to do. Did you see her doing the 666 sign? Illuminati was up in there. And by the way Yoga is not good cause is a form type of Satanic. Satan is just using these women and they don't even see it. And those Yoga pants are not good for us women to wear especially if we do believe in God. We shouldn't be wearing pants like that, that are too tight on our body.
Still the only Janelle Monae song that I don’t listen to. I even hated it when she performed in at her concert. The chorus is catchy, but the verses are a joke..😂
Love this woman for this song. She just made a banger about Yoga. Literally she is talking about yoga and it's benefits and not some an stupid double entendre for sex.
Stop hating an get slide because apparently you want hers Do do me a favour an get a life an stay out of her if you can't like an do a nice comment thank. You
This woman right here don't gotta curse but has one of the best lyrics that ive heard in a long time without any cussing yet now days it's so different
I don't understand why people are so butthurt with this song.. Yes, She dancing more sexy. But its not like she's in a body suit with cat ears, or just wearing a bra and thong twerking She's wearing a normal top and high waisted jeans in the 1st part of the video then long sleeves shirt and white pants on the 2nd.. Like People are always looking for the negative. Let her have fun.. She has many other deep songs.
+tanishaAM It's because this song sounds much more like a standard pop song than most of her previous stuff (definatly everything pre-Electric Lady). That being said, i diddn't realize how conservative her outfits in this video are compared to most pop stars. It's funny how little skin you need showing to create scandal when you're known for rockin a tux
+tanishaAM you cannot please everyone so it is no reason to get worked up .. the same stuff happens over and over.. why you think alot of celebrities do not respond to people online? because of this
I'm probably like a majority of you who instantly didn't like this song. The first verse is esp pretty misleading, but she gives us a chance to collect our thoughts in the second. This song is not literally about women physically bending over, but its about being flexible as a woman in a constrained/limited society. It's about breaking barriers and not letting authority tell you otherwise (police, etc). Meh let her tell it in an interview gurrrrllllllll. haha
Jenene Cook But if Janelle wants to be sexy one moment, does that mean she's making women look bad? Jane has always been a feminist and an advocate for women everywhere. So when she does show skin or dances sexually, it's not to do want everyone else wants her to do, it's what she wants to do. She's not bending over in front of men, she's dancing and having fun with other women. When she says she's her own private dancer, she means that she does it for herself, and just like when she wear suits, when she's dancing in belly shirts, it's for no one but her. And no one can police her. You get what I mean?
Pamela Green this is a great explanation, i already loved the song, but you def pulled it together! They need to put this in the description of the video cuz people are really doing the most with their "oh she changed for the industry, now shes a thot like the rest of them" BS lol
This song should've been on top...I'm sure if this was Beyonce's or Chris Brown's song, the entire WORLD would've played it OUT lol....I love this song!
So many negative comments smh.. its ok have a fun side to you. Dont mean you a sell out smh. I love it!! Keep it up. Proceed to show the world that you can be deep, soulful, positive, down to earth and hey have fun too. You only have one life to live and your living it!
This song is far from soulful, far form positive or down to Earth. She is throwing up a satanic hand gesture at 0:12 and then invites her viewers into a frantic intro about her "yoga" video at 0:14 to 0:19 as if we're watching a Scary movie. What is positive about this? What is positive about yoga being scary? What is positive about worshiping the devil? Your comment is ignorant in so many ways. She is twisting the concept of Yoga and making it Dark. Yoga is to meditate and release negative energy. How are you releasing negative energy by listening to a song imbedded WITH negative energy? You call syndicating insidious videos fun? You only get one life to live? Then what happens after that? You seem very misguided....
Yung Jayy...its clear you misinterpret what I said. It was ignorant for you to comment and not comprehending what I was saying.. lmbo no one never said this particular song was positive. I said its a fun song.(my opinion) Usually she is soulful and positive... lmbo I guess I am ignorant because I don't sit and study "satanic hand gestures". I dont waste my energy studying the devil. Lmbo guess studying satanic is soooo positive lol. You get one life one experience use it wisely. God bless you and have a great day #HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
Hey there, Zambia! Glad to see you're tuning in all the way from the land of majestic safaris and breathtaking landscapes. Just a friendly reminder, though, no yoga poses while watching this video, unless you're a certified contortionist! Keep enjoying the beats and sending virtual high-fives from wherever you are! 🌍💃🎵

One of the dopest records recorded. The beat is devastatingly addictive and fun.

I guess you've never been to Evergreen State College

She is signed under 3 labels ;-)
Katrien Potums- She still has Wondaland, which is all her. That's for whenever she needs to express her own full creative control and full legal rights.
She has also signed with Epic, Bad Boy, and Atlantic. So what? Just because she chooses to collaborate with others on occasion doesn't negate the fact that she still has her own label.

@@ntahbisenghlongwa8577 tell him mfanka ❤️😂😂
7years later and it's still a hit wow old is gold. ❤️❤️
This is one of my best songs. Always keeps me in a good mood.
This woman is so beautiful!!!!
She's my crush😍
This woman right here don't gotta curse but has one of the best lyrics that ive heard in a long time without any cussing yet now days it's so different
this song is so addictive it just came back to me
I don't understand why people are so butthurt with this song.. Yes, She dancing more sexy. But its not like she's in a body suit with cat ears, or just wearing a bra and thong twerking
She's wearing a normal top and high waisted jeans in the 1st part of the video then long sleeves shirt and white pants on the 2nd..
Like People are always looking for the negative. Let her have fun.. She has many other deep songs.
thank you
+tanishaAM It's because this song sounds much more like a standard pop song than most of her previous stuff (definatly everything pre-Electric Lady). That being said, i diddn't realize how conservative her outfits in this video are compared to most pop stars. It's funny how little skin you need showing to create scandal when you're known for rockin a tux
Shut up
+Kynnedi McReynolds How about you
+tanishaAM you cannot please everyone so it is no reason to get worked up .. the same stuff happens over and over.. why you think alot of celebrities do not respond to people online? because of this
This was one of my favourite songs in 2015 ♥️
Yes because this was minds back than and still is 2022
Riftvofvp 😎
Still is and it's July 2022 💯💯
Love ❤ love ❤️ lov e❤
wait.... is that Tessa Thompson dancing on Janelles left? 1:19
how the hell have i never noticed this!!!!!! ahhhhhh!!!!! :-)
Yuuup
Lol wow how could you not it’s Tessa Thompson
Inception.
OMG, yeah
I'm starting to think Tessa Thompson may be in ALL of Janelle's music videos. Like a much more fun version of Where's Waldo?.
The bass in this song at 2:02 🔥🔥🔥
Jidenna's hairstyle is so classy.
Rome Alexander I know, Maybe he's a Classic Man.
Lol! He sure is a Classic man! The one and only
Rome Alexander yeah if a man dont mind frying their hair and laying it down to the side.
El Raheem DeSilva LMAO Fried! Died! Laid to da side!
El Raheem DeSilva Butthurt much?
I need a "get off my areola" t shirt!
WORD

I'm probably like a majority of you who instantly didn't like this song. The first verse is esp pretty misleading, but she gives us a chance to collect our thoughts in the second. This song is not literally about women physically bending over, but its about being flexible as a woman in a constrained/limited society. It's about breaking barriers and not letting authority tell you otherwise (police, etc). Meh let her tell it in an interview gurrrrllllllll. haha
Jenene Cook But if Janelle wants to be sexy one moment, does that mean she's making women look bad? Jane has always been a feminist and an advocate for women everywhere. So when she does show skin or dances sexually, it's not to do want everyone else wants her to do, it's what she wants to do. She's not bending over in front of men, she's dancing and having fun with other women. When she says she's her own private dancer, she means that she does it for herself, and just like when she wear suits, when she's dancing in belly shirts, it's for no one but her. And no one can police her. You get what I mean?
Pamela Green this is a great explanation, i already loved the song, but you def pulled it together! They need to put this in the description of the video cuz people are really doing the most with their "oh she changed for the industry, now shes a thot like the rest of them" BS lol
Pamela Green Ok you convinced me .
Nice!!
This song will always be my favorite 💓❤️💘
This song should've been on top...I'm sure if this was Beyonce's or Chris Brown's song, the entire WORLD would've played it OUT lol....I love this song!
Um, this got played on the radio TOO DEATH lol, what are you talking about
+sexyj4819 it probably didn't play in his or her area
+sexyj4819 they sure did play it on the radio a lot in the DMV.
same
it's just that janell mone'a is underrated
I love this woman's versatility.
Simi Oyeleye pretty woman
Simi Oyeleye hi
Library card computer
And sge black american that's what l'm happy about...real talent
So many negative comments smh.. its ok have a fun side to you. Dont mean you a sell out smh. I love it!! Keep it up. Proceed to show the world that you can be deep, soulful, positive, down to earth and hey have fun too. You only have one life to live and your living it!
Yes gurl me too!
This song is far from soulful, far form positive or down to Earth. She is throwing up a satanic hand gesture at 0:12 and then invites her viewers into a frantic intro about her "yoga" video at 0:14 to 0:19 as if we're watching a Scary movie. What is positive about this? What is positive about yoga being scary? What is positive about worshiping the devil? Your comment is ignorant in so many ways. She is twisting the concept of Yoga and making it Dark. Yoga is to meditate and release negative energy. How are you releasing negative energy by listening to a song imbedded WITH negative energy? You call syndicating insidious videos fun? You only get one life to live? Then what happens after that? You seem very misguided....
Yung Jayy Yes it is far from soulful. But not everything is satanic and everythings not about hand gestures . not to be rude
Yung Jayy...its clear you misinterpret what I said. It was ignorant for you to comment and not comprehending what I was saying.. lmbo no one never said this particular song was positive. I said its a fun song.(my opinion) Usually she is soulful and positive... lmbo I guess I am ignorant because I don't sit and study "satanic hand gestures". I dont waste my energy studying the devil. Lmbo guess studying satanic is soooo positive lol. You get one life one experience use it wisely. God bless you and have a great day #HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
sciencegeek HAPPY FRIDAY. Thank you for being positive
She killed it in Glass Onion 🔥🔥🔥
I woke up singing this song to myself lol it's still in my ears. Such a catchy song

Watching from Zambia ❤
Hey there, Zambia! Glad to see you're tuning in all the way from the land of majestic safaris and breathtaking landscapes. Just a friendly reminder, though, no yoga poses while watching this video, unless you're a certified contortionist! Keep enjoying the beats and sending virtual high-fives from wherever you are! 🌍💃🎵
