🚨 Janet Jackson’s ‘Got ‘til It’s Gone’ (1997) 🚨

Janet Jackson wanted to ditch the pop gloss for this track. On the video set, inspired by apartheid, Janet demanded no glamorous makeup; she wanted every pore and drop of sweat to look real to honor her African roots. 🌍🥁 🤔 Fun Fact: The Joni Mitchell sample almost didn't happen because the singer-songwriter hated people sampling her music, but Janet wrote her a personal hand-written letter explaining the song's political meaning and Joni said yes instantly. Did you know? 🤯

I really miss the era of music videos that you could watch over and over

Same 💕

I love Janet 😍

👏🏼

🙌 Now this is throwback!!

This era my goddddddd. Go Deep is such a sex anthem and Together Again changed lives…mine mainly!

Beautiful video.

My fav song by aunty Janet

😩😩😩 I wished she commercially released this. This is HEAVEN!

Another classic one

❤️❤️❤️❤️

When everyone was still alive

RIP JDILLA !!!!!!

Brilliance. I have never been a fan of the song Big Yellow Taxi, but in this case I think it is very well sampled. I believe Joni Mitchell gave approval for it's use. Wise person :)

Sounds so good in the car

Amazing clip

That's the joint right here

Iconic smash hit

Perfection. Song and video.

RIP J Dilla . Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
