It would've been artistically controversial in the 80s and 90s. Not 00s.

Anyhow, remind me who wrote and produced the song?

No i'm pretty sure it's you and I still don't understand how you really don't get that my point is that Janet a black woman was comfortable singing about being a slave for anything, it has nothing to do with charts or success.

and it was tap dancing chad and the monkey suit wearing pharrell

[dirrtydiana]

You must not understand your point either given an African American male co wrote and produced the song. He also intended it to be sang by Janet.

You've got no argument here, you're just being grumpy.

Did you know MJ recorded a song called Slave to the Rhythm?

Mj was a pedo and Yes but that has nothing to do with my comment

It's not my fault you don't understand what's being said to you. Pharrell has literally always been a coon that's common knowledge and yes i know and she it turned it down and i doubt she regrets she didn't jump on a song singing about being a slave for you. Which has been my entire ****ing point from the start I DOUBT JANET REGRETS TURNING DOWN SLAVE 4 U

Yeah but again it's context because if Janet can talk about velvet rope/janet sexiness and different compromising positions in a sensual way then I don't see the issue with it clearly being a double entendre of being a slave for a man and being a slave to the music.

Not let's take it back to the 1800s and piss everyone off

YOU KNOW WHAT
WE ARE DEBATING ABOUT THE WRONG THINGS AT THE RIGHT TIME...

the fact that I've been eyeing posts shading the timeless classic slave for you is borderline racist in itself.

How dare any of you all?

It's one thing to say it's not your top 5 but people act like it isn't timeless and classic.

Had radio actually supported it...we would have had 6 singles from that era.

Well then dont trail off the topic by bringing the race card

I am sure she does, given A4U is forgotten compared to S4U, even with it's #1 peak.

Because people are stupid and take things literally, britney has been bashed for encouraging girls to be a slave for men. Imagine how the average moron would have taken Janet singing that song, It's not hard to understand why janet wouldn't regret passing on it

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DID THAT

All I said was THAT SLAVE IS BASIC and I doubt that Janet regretted passing on a song that could and would have been taken the wrong way. And that's not pulling the race card, pulling the race card would be saying that only reason slave was hit is because britney was white. And if you scroll 10 pages or so back. I said the only reason slave is remember at all is because of britney's vma performance and the video.

Then i guess i'm racist because it's aged as horribly as boys has

In fact hand me a whip and call me mistress because all of the songs pharrell has done for britney sound like trash now.

It wasn't a big deal though. It didn't have a huge impact and people moved on.
Let's not oversell Britney being bashed for slave for you when it was the same ole game of someone trying to make news and it last for a brief moment and got overshadow by slave for you's impact.

Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiile,

I'm not handing you a whip. you might like it.

I never saw it for the boys remix because it was too video gamish.

Slave for you still sounds fresh
Boys original mix sounds great still.
Why should I be sad and sugarfall sound nice still.

I don't think his stuff sounds that bad now.

Everything about britney was a big deal back then, people overrated and she got **** and sales for it. Just like she got **** for her red catsuit and for showing her bellybutton. And thank you for agreeing with me slave the song has no impact and people only remember the vma's.

Ugh, I can relate to this song so much right now.

Just one night full of sin, feel the pain on your skin.

Britney has made me loathe boys.
Slave has been trash to me for years now.
Wsibs is the worst song on blackout
........ i forgot about sugarfall that **** is so good... fine i take it back not all of pharrell's songs are trash

Yes but only certain things that were "controversial" stuck.
i.e. lip synching, breast implants,, virginity, lolita sex symbol.

That one clip of her being drunk tipsy out in a club in 1999/00 wasn't something that would take down her image.

Her releasing slave for you was not deemed racist there was even a statement saying that they didn't take offense because they didn't believe she did it to be offensive but just wished she'd be more sensitive to the subject matter and it was done.
It didn't even hold the GP's attention for a week... a Britney Jean tea

[Britney Spears]

The impact is real

I understand loathing the boys remix but the original still ishes on discographies.

I'll turn a blind eye to your slave shade.
