I love that she is breaking down the lyrics, and even in a sit down like this she is PERFORMING and CAPTIVATING. Her energy is amazing and I love that her music has a message.
"Im not for male consumption" YES, tired of women being told to be "more feminine" or to keep their hair long, smile more, wear dresses. It's all bullshit. I'll do whatever I damn please to feel pretty 😒😒
I Am I Very true in a way but you’re saying a rebel, a black woman who is loud, obnoxious and unpeaceful, without a cause is NOT following the “white mans” agenda? And I though I can see it that way, I thought of it more a black woman, why I said “civilized” is because she is in the face of social media making a positive change for us black women in a PEACEFUL (my definition is civilized) matter. Civilized to me is also cooperating, in which that’s connects back to you mentioning the white mans agenda
“We need to listen to understand.” -Monae ❤️ Imagine if we lived in a world where we had world leaders who listened to understand, rather than to listen to respond
This got my heart and my tear ducts going. Janelle's passionate - not just recital, but - performance of her lyrics, the continuous, further realisation of what her words mean, the figures and themes I the song....she's a fricken queen, and I CAN'T.
I just 😅😅😂😂😂😄😄😄 The transition to her singing / rapping her song like the beautiful fierce person she is , to talking all cool calm and collective lol . I love it 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I feel like she expresses herself in a way that women should express themselves in a creative way to make it stand out more, and also a way that some women don’t understand. Women I feel could do almost anything but at the sometime has their limit depending on the situation and that what most people sometimes don’t get 🎶
Again a great and awesome song! I listen to it almost every day. Thank you for providing the lyrics and meaning of the song. I’m sure I am not the only one who wants to know what are the lyrics at the beginning and end of song. Let’s get ......?
Louisiana ⚜️🥾⚜️ here!! What up tho, sis? I'm late today's episode, but it's all gravy, baby. I ran across this, because I was listening to the song. Btw, the song is SOOO ST*P*D DUMD HARD!! 🔥 I remember when I first heard it. I said "Janelle AIN'T 🙅🏾♀️ BUHSHYT'N out here per usual." Shiddd, it was the climate we were in at the time, right now, on top of that, it's the POWER of the p*ssy. We make the world go round. Women rule, and SOME of us DON'T 🙅🏾♀️ even much know it. Janelle, this hit different for meee. The POWER in the songs LYRICS, MESSAGING, SYMBOLISM, the TRUTH, BOLDNESS, AUTHENTICITY, REALNESS, BLUNTNESS, COURAGE, STRENGTH, EMPHASIS, AND CONFIDENCE IN THIS MFer!! I could have jumped outta my skin, chile! YOU WEREN'T PLAYING WIT IT. YOU TAPPED INTO SOMETHING HERE! YOU MEANT EVERY SINGLE WORD, AND I FELT IT!! I hate when I put someone on this song, and it doesn't move them in the same way it moved me. 🤯 I be like never FUK'N mind!
I've always felt that women, mainly blck women have suffered greatly. Not readily accepted. I rmbr. as a child, we were told to speak properly, to sit properly, if the hair was a little nappy, it was considered bad hair.Girls were unduly pressured as oppose to boys. It had more to do with the culture, yeah, We're still struggling for rights, recognition, respect on every angle, socially, culturally and globally. Recently, I have been paying attn. to "Django Jane." trying to decipher what was being said. I now have a better understanding.

I already liked the song, but this explanation truly moved me. I'm always inspired by Janelle Monáe and her music and message. I'll be a fan for life.

Preach! It's refreshing to see some women of color out here for a change!

So happy she's blessing us with new music
Whenever I feel down or out of place I turn on this song and pick myself right back up. Janelle is a genius and an inspiration!
I LOVE IT WHEN SHE YELLS
That ring that's holding the other end of her hair gives me hope
"Be Quiet, I'm Not For Male Consumption" Lol
Such a pure soul. I love her.

Janelle Monáe is equally beautiful inside and out. Amazing soul, talent, and voice. Her art transcends.
I'm fully in love with Janelle Monàe
That ring on her hair is pulling off all kinds of sorcery
I had my jaw on the floor the whole time. She is so powerful! I love the way she talked about the rap!
would love to see her break down the entire Dirty Computer album like this 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
her acapella rap sounds like she just recorded it in a studio. such a queen
I love that she’s not reading the lyrics like other artists who’ve done this series SHE’S STRAIGHT UP BELTING OUT THOSE RHYMES A CAPELLA
She sounds just like the studio version, damn
haven’t heard a song from her in forever!
Shay Angel bruh she dropped like four in the past few weeks
I freaking love this woman. She's elegant, but she got that fire.
Queen 💕

I loved this song from the first time I heard it, memorized most of it by the third time I heard it (that same day).
She’s so amazing!
"We listen, not to respond, but to understand."
we stan a queen ok?
She is so beautiful. Inside and out.
I feel like she expresses herself in a way that women should express themselves in a creative way to make it stand out more, and also a way that some women don’t understand. Women I feel could do almost anything but at the sometime has their limit depending on the situation and that what most people sometimes don’t get 🎶
the way her voice changes when she talks vs raps... wow. I love her stage presence
Love you so much!!!

I hate when I put someone on this song, and it doesn't move them in the same way it moved me. 🤯 I be like never FUK'N mind!
"Cue the violins and violas" has to be my favorite line from this song.

This woman is way too stunning I can’t get enough of her. I love how she presents herself. So much respect. And shout out to 3:35 🙌
I love her voice. I love the way she speaks. I love the way her outfit makes a sound every time she moves. I can’t explain it. I love her.
