  • 23 People have no Soul. This tune is smooth flowing!!!!!

  • This came out when I was in high school and everyone in my class was downin the vid and actin like Janet looked ugly. At that point I felt so proud to be the only cool one in my class for seein the artistry and not bein fooled by makeup and cleavage, this is one of Janet coolest vids ever, she is so chill here.

  • @xoxofashiionista Dilla is your favourite producer's favourite producer

  • My favorite Janet Jackson song!! Big up 2 Q-Tip for the production

  • This video is beautiful...Won the Grammy for best short form music video for a reason...Romanek is a great director and this song is so deep.

  • I don't like this video because she chose dirty and poor looking dark skinned people and it made us look stank and dark skinned people are beautiful (except these ones) like really Janet...

  • @xoxofashiionista It's supposed to take place in the 60s in Africa during apartheid. So yeah...I don't think think they look stank....they're having a underground party rejecting apartheid and all the bullshit that goes with it.

  • @hollywoodgogo ohhh, i thought janet was tryin to diss dark skinned people

  • @xoxofashiionista Nah...if anything, she's celebrating black culture and the freedom black people should have in Africa (and everywhere in the world for that matter).

  • You don't see the red bar for a reason. ;)

  • i feel really good listening to this song.

  • Me too !

  • I was 16 when the song was released:))) Pure art. Regards from Mother Russia.

  • RIB!!!!!

  • RIP Jay Dee

  • @phism who's jay dee

  • @xoxofashiionista He made the beat for this. And a lot of other things. Died in 2006 of complications from lupus. Ask Google.

  • The most beautiful video of all times!!

  • This song has been playing in my head for quite some time today!

  • This video is full of all types of beauty! Love the vintage clothing too. I love being black, sorry...I do!

  • @afroindia42 Nothing to be sorry about Most Of Our people Need to embrace it and stop trying to run away from it.

  • @afroindia42 I do too....

  • Happy Black History Month!!

  • They really captured the 60s Africa vibe. As everyone's said, timeless song.

  • beautiful Janet.

  • no need jdilla to be here. my childhood sent me.

  • I last saw this video back in 1997 and for some reason, the only thing I remembered about it was the boxer's pose at 3:14

  • Timeless

  • Like Q-Tip says so subtly at the 3:18 mark,

    ♪Now Look At 'Chu♪

    Priceless

  • Wiz Khalifa brought me here months ago. Been playing this ALOT!

  • her album "Janet" and Velvet Rope kick ass. damn the music these days bites. enough LMFAO already!!!

  • Janet at her creative peak...The Velvet Rope

  • The sample is Joni Mitchell Be Paradise If You Put Up a Parking Lot

  • @jlinkiewicz11 Actually, the Joni Mitchell song is called "Big Yellow Taxi".

  • 4:20

  • dope

    

  • Wow, those binocular looking things at 3:39....Haven't seen those in years...You used to be able to see clips in it like a slideshow. We had Spiderman/Superman etc

  • this doesnt need her vocal...

  • One of Janet's best tracks so souful.... RIP J Dilla <3

  • whats the sample?!?!?!??!?!?

  • Q-Tip/JJ = great combination! They should do it again...

  • this song is AWESOME!!!! "if i could turn back the hands of time i'd make you, fall in love, go with me again.so would you give me another chance to love, to love you, love you the right way again..."

  • Q Tip - one of greatest rappers/ producers alive... see "Electronic relaxation" by ATCQ

  • i love this so much <3

  • put it on now! please lets put this lady back on the charts. artists like rihanna cant and will never compare! stop letting our standards slide! there is no comparison, toni, janet and whitney! true classics!

  • please what is the name of man on the big poster on 3:20

  • I use to listen to song when i was younger but never really got what she is saying but i get it now and she's right " you don't know what u got till it's gone".... Come back Janet Jackson we miss you, take us back to th e basic

  • hmmmmmmmmmm................

  • love it....its a evergreen

  • sucramdude@ were you really listening and paying attention to the song and lyrics and the msg they were trying to show and NOT the fact that you dislike the artist(s)?!?!?!? because from my opinion I love this song it makes my day anytime I here it so before you bash a song think of the song not the artist Ty n Goodbye ♪(´ε` )

  • wth... this song beat Tool's "Stinkfist" they put there heart and soul in there music and they lost to this bitch! all she can do is dance to a beat and sing about herself. i hate this bitch. Tool were the underdogs at the time and now look at where there at... making there 6th album and reached out to many others with there REAL music. What is she doing now... by my guess she is probably around the corner sucking a guys dick for $20 and a hit of da crack pipe. I hope its infested with AIDS.

  • i think you're the one that's been whoring yourself and want to reflect on janet because you are an ugly bitch. who the hell is TOOL? nobody has heard of those losers. they made 6 albums big deal. janet has made 10 albums and has sold over 100 million. she is known and loved all over the world. don't be mad because she is better than your little band. it's not her fault they suck. and i bet they charge 5 bucks to suck. lol

  • @sucramdude what are u talking about lol

  • god bless Joni Mithchell and Janet Jackson

  • Amazin'........a creative music video right there....God! I miss the 90s.

  • Dilla

    

  • Knew something was wrong when Years ago i seen Jimmy Jam and Terry LEwis over charging ass get credit for this record. Even as a shorty i knew damn well them 2 souless ass Dude did'nt have enough Balls to create this. J. Dilla Rest in Paradise.

  • If you're referring to wiz khalifa, then get the fuck outta here man.

  • love the South African theme :)

  • The Definition of Beauty

  • so she did rip off des'ree oh snap lol

  • amazing video and song.

  • I really wish she stuck with the Neo Soul thing. Not that she doesn't work great on her sex appeal image, but this sort of thing sticks around longer for me at least. Seems more poignant.

  • hip-hop

  • :O she made this song?!?

    used to hear it when I was a kid going to school in my mom's car...good times

  • The visual imagery -- the effect is captivating!

  • Loveee it

  • I am drifting in a fanstasy world everytime i hear this track! speaks to your sould for real!

  • je kif !!!!

  • A Tribe called Quest still rulez!

  • this video was amazing back then when it was released and it would have been even more amazing if it was released currently. todays shit has nothing on it. no lady gaga, nicki minaj or even M.I.A., santogold or whoever for that matter can compare to this masterpiece

  •  please the name of the director of the video . He's a genuis.

  • @amigalable Mark Romanek..he did "Scream" too.

  • @charmedvirgoslayer

    oh thank you so kind.

  • This joint and the one ft busta rhymes are the only janets rnb i liked most

  • Beautiful song beautiful people

  • "That you dont know what you got till its gone"

    got this shit on reply, cant get enough, beat is for real. Jackson and Q-tip killed it.

  • Alex Wek!!

  • you see the dislike bar? neither do I ;)

  • can you feel the heat? burning up. hot!

  • That's Q-tip, right? I love this song so much!

  • RIP JayDee AKA J-Dilla <3

    Another great production.........one of my fave Janet Jackson tracks (:

  • Beautiful people

  • J D

  • R.I.P. DILLA THIS IS ANOTHER OUTSTANDING J-DILLA BEAT

  • Funny thing is, MJ is considered the biggest star in music, probably ever, but Janet had a much better feel for the changing trends in r'n'b than Michael did.

  • @kenyancheena I agree. Especially in the 90s, Janet for the first time eclipsed her brother's success

  • @AfroAngola Yes she really did. People hate admit that in the 90's, Janet's albums were better than Mj's. It's true

  • Damn i wish i was a black guy so mush more love around :( white trash now maby next life

  • Style AND substance.

  • Love the record

  • joni mitchell's voice is so beautiful!! it makes the whole song! Joni Mitchell never lies!

  • Comment removed

  • so beautiful, makes my heart ache

  • Also for all those fake wannabe hispters..aka sheep..this was the time when rocking those glasses wascool, now you're just one of a fucking million..say meeeeeeehh

  • Damn, shit aint even that long ago, and so much has changed..back then zappin on tv, and finding shit like this was normal, now it would be a miracle.

    The video suits the song perfectly.

    Class.

  • Dilla Dawg, it appears on wikipedia that he produced this one.

  • True the beat was stolen from JDilla but I'm pretty sure she had very little if anything to do with it.

  • GOEDE BEATT

    

  • THIS IS MY SH*T RIGHT HERE! LOVE YOU JAAANNNEETTT!

    (love u most Michael!)

  • R.I.P. J Dilla

  • great song.

  • she got sued for this song lol. smh

  • at least janet is giving joni mitchell her credit! Awesome song (original and this one)
