Azealia Banks: "Janet is the Queen of Pop"
Miss Banks tweeted the following:
"I can definitely say I've never ever , not a single time in my life been influenced by or inspired by Madonna. I know like three Madonna songs and not on purpose. I really do not get the hype. I've been more influenced by beyonce Janet and chaka than Madonna."
"I'm sorry. No way In hell we're about to keep this crunchy old white coochie worship going . Somebody has to say it... Madonna is not and never was giving what yall thought it gave. JANET JACKSON is really the true queen of pop so sorry go argue with ur mom"

Perhaps if she was influenced by Madonna she would have had a more successful career.

she's inspired by Madonna enough to run her mouth about Madonna.to get ink and attention, She's inspired to suck up to Janet Jackson, who probably doesn't give two shits about her and maybe even questions if she's really black.

Before Madonna, record companies did not invest nearly as much in their female artists as they did their male artists. Madonna's rise changed that. So even if she isn't influenced by her musically, Madonna walked so someone like Azealia could even be taken seriously. Also, she knows only three Madonna songs? That's not the case for other people in the rest of the world. Black and white Americans need to remember that America is not the world.

LMFAO Janet can't be the queen when she's only like the fifteenth highest selling female artist of all time. Madonna, Mariah, Celine and Whitney (and now Taylor) all can claim to be queens of pop at one point or another. Janet cannot.

Azalea is bipolar. A few months ago, she posted about how Lady Gaga is trash because she has insulted several artists including Madonna who Azalea referred to as the "queen of reinvention". Apparently, her opinion has reversed now.

I'm not fond of either one. But unlike Janet, you have to admit Madonna made it on talent and sheer determination. Janet's whole nepo-based "career" is due to her family name and big brother Michael's connections in the music industry.

When asked to comment, Janet responded;

Did Jim and Jam Lewis just want to produce for Janet to create a "black" Madonna? If Madonna didn't hit it big with Like a Virgin, I doubt Janet would have gotten very far. People don't even know Janet's first two albums--Janet Jackson and Dream Street--even existed.

Dream Street was a terrible album under-produced by Giorgio Moroder. Her father also had a hand in this mess too.

"Janet Jackson" and "Dream Street" were bubble-gum pop albums released when Joe Jackson was managing Janet's career and pulled strings to land her a contract with A&M. After these two flops, Janet dropped her dad as manager and hightailed it over to Jam & Lewis.

I liked a few tracks on the first album. A lot of it was produced by one of the Sylvers.

R35, holy crap, I had no idea Giorgio produced that album! What an embarrassment. It's funny that Janet herself doesn't acknowledge those albums anymore. But, then again, i don't think Michael acknowledges any of his pre-Off the Wall albums as a solo artist.

Lupe Fiasco also got in that ass when she tried to come for him for playing for white audiences in Europe. He simply posted a tweet of hers from a year prior where she stated “I love Lupe. I use his still in all my raps” He posted that shit over and over and over along with a pic of Kermit the Frog. He didn’t say shit else. Each one of her rants was responded to in that fashion. Then lastly he simply posted a picture of her promoting her Australian tour dates. She had an epic meltdown; she stayed off Twitter for a few weeks after that fiasco, no pun intended.

Say what you will about Azealia, but she’s currently performing a sold out UK tour to consistently good / rave reviews and this is on the back of one album that she released over ten years ago, and since then a bunch of singles or mixtapes with barely any promotional budget. But she still gets the crowds to turn out.

What's dumb about this is that most of us were very much alive when Madonna and Janet were peaking. Both were huge. Madonna was bigger.
And I don't like either, so I have no horse in the race. But, again, I was alive.
That was also when monoculture was the only culture. So we all heard (mostly) the same shit. Especially for pop music.

R48 right. I was born in 88. Janet has always been A list since I been alive and she is obviously bigger in the black community than Madge but she is not bigger overall. Madge was arguably as popular as MJ maybe not in Africa but world wide. Madge was the first to do what all these bitches today. And that is sell sex and be unapologetic about it. Obviously there were sexual performers before but Madge created a certain mainstreaming of raunchy sex. One that is equally for the male gaze and for the gays.

R41 some of the lyrics for 212 were so prescient regarding her own career. It’s like she spoke it into existence.
I will say her insistence on singing on every track did yield some dividends, as evidenced by the vocal improvement from 212 to, say, The Big Big Beat. But even that was eight years ago.

Someone like Azelea knows she can disrespect her mainly white and affluent audience because of how educated they are. It’s hard to explain but they will chuck it up to all the shit white people have put us through. She is a talented girl but she’s not just mentally ill. She’s fucked up too.

Oh my god no R13! #15??? She wishes!
Madonna is the #1 highest selling female music artist of all time (and has held this place for 4 decades) and Madonna is the #5th highest music artist of all time and she is in the company of The Beatles (#1) Michael Jackson (#2), Elvis Presley (#3) and Elton John (#4) then Madonna (#5).
[bold]Janet Jackson is the #83rd highest selling artist of all time[/bold].
Madonna is the undisputed Queen of Pop. She broke down the barriers for female artists and it is because of Madonna that Janet has a career. Well, that and the fact that Janet is the quintessential nepo baby and without her family connections would never have even had a music career. End of story.
Azealia Banks is a well-known Trump and MAGA supporter and has repeatedly endorsed Trump. Now that Janet has finally come out and admitted she is also a Trump and MAGA supporter and has questioned Kamala's racial heritage - that's why Banks has made up this crap and is trying to make it fly with other MAGAs. All the MAGA "celebrities" have dead-end careers and are shunned and ignored by their industries like Janet Jackson is about to be. Sad.
