Wonderful video by Janet Jackson, circa 1997.

What a great song and beautifully produced video. You can have Meg The Stallion and Cardi B I'll take Janet Jackson any day of the week.

What a great song and beautifully produced video.

I was listening to Frank Zappa talk about the music video industry the other day. Studios pressure artists into making them. Music videos have little impact on a musician's record sales. It is up to the artist to foot the bill for making a video, yet the musician gets nothing out of it while it boosts the net profits for the music label. The artist foots the bit, the Label risks nothing, yet makes all the profit.

The music industry was very predatory in Frank Zappa's day. I doubt that it's like that now with music videos being such a major vehicle for the artists today.
