Janet Jackson featuring Q-Tip and Joni Mitchell - Got 'til It's Gone
1997
"Got 'til It's Gone" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson, featuring American rapper Q-Tip and Canadian singer Joni Mitchell, from her sixth studio album, The Velvet Rope (1997). It was released as the lead single from The Velvet Rope, and Jackson opted for a less polished sound for it which resulted in an authentic blend of R&B, pop, and hip hop with traces of reggae influences. It contains a sample from Joni Mitchell's 1970 song "Big Yellow Taxi".
"Got 'til It's Gone" was met with mostly positive reviews from music critics, with most praising its fusion of Jackson's pop style with hip hop, and for its revealing theme. The song peaked at number 36 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and reached number three on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. Internationally, "Got 'til It's Gone" reached the top 20 in several European markets, including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, and the UK.
The accompanying music video for "Got 'til It's Gone" was directed by Mark Romanek and filmed at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, and was premiered right before the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards. Jackson portrays a lounge singer in the video, which takes place during the time of apartheid in South Africa. It was called a masterpiece by critics, winning a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. It also received the most nominations at the seventh annual MVPA Awards, winning "Pop Video of the Year" and "Best Art Direction".
"Got 'til It's Gone" received a total of 55,4% yes votes.
finding out that atla n*****x is dropping tomorrow and umm good time to say I'm moving away from atla and gonna focus being an aesthetics blog now with some literary analysis thrown in.
(I'll still finish the game and drop by with some takes every once in a while, maybe after a month tho lol).
Since it's now the month of Sha'ban and Ramadan coming up on us, I just want to state:
This is blog is not welcome to anyone who've been cheering on the genocide in Palestine. Shame on them who have been happily supporting it and they do not have my respect.
I'm keeping faith in Allah and I'm trusting His plan. Insha'Allah, the innocent will be saved and the evildoers will be punished. No deed will go unpaid.
And it's my fault foremost. This genocide reflects on all of us and our actions, so I'm asking for Allah's mercy as well.
Astaghfirullah, may Allah forgive us, may Allah forgive me for any harm I've done for this to happen. I believe in His mercy and may He keeping sending it down to us like endless rain. May I always remember to keep salawaat for those suffering and to keep praying with faith.
