[@freddieguzman360]

Before Beyonce's Lemonade, there was Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 project. In plain Black n White. Happy 30th RN!!

[@carlozigoti9190]

*Gvn$hoe* I agree with you. I too loved _Rhythm Nation 1814_ as well as all the music videos. But now, in all objectivity and detachment, it is so clear that this work embodied some of the most radical _masonic esoteric philosophies_ and that it indeed served as a propaganda tool in order to indoctrinate the masses, meaning the youth of that time, meaning _us_ of today. Nonetheless, I still dig the thoughtless entertainment side of it. Better than this one for sure: thewildvoice.org/actors-singers-celebrities-entertainers/comp-madonna-satan/

[@jseight279]

And b4 THE GREATEST RN18 there was what's going on....then came KENDRICK'S TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. JANET'S REMAINS THE STANDARD THOUGH as far as commercial success.... but socially, physically, and mentally they all on the same level imo...and I don't know if THE GREAT LEMONADE as a whole was more social than it was very personal. Idk GREAT MUSIC ALWAYS FROM THE KING, CANT WAIT FOR B7

[@blakkone4000]

One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. LEMONADE makes much more sense given with its intended purpose than RN does.

[@freddieguzman360]

@@blakkone4000 I was talking about how Janet pioneered the RN project with these mini videos within the RN film she made for MTV which was unheard of, besides her brother's long form video film Thriller. No one was doing that not even Mike.. I love Beyoncé myself! Beyoncé did the exact same in a different time yes with hers being more personal than political. Everyone was saying how visual Beyoncé is but she got it from her teacher Janet ☺

[@davidhabert]

So was this Album and although it's been over 30 years since it came out. It's still ahead of it's time even now.

[@KingTateGreene]

I concur. This album was and still is completely relevant even in 2021. Janet must have had a deep seated spiritual vision for what the earth in this dimension needed to move forward as a civilization, towards a more equitable, high end civilization, where there is no more war but peace, no more ignorance but high intelligence, equity and equality, no more divides but, unity, no more hate but, peace.

[@LeeDfined]

At the time it came out (Sept 1989) this album Rhythm Nation 1814 was more than an album it was a MOVEMENT. It spawned 7 Top 5 singles, and may be the only album to my knowledge to have three number 1 hits across three years (Miss You Much- 1989, Escapade- 1990, and Love Will Never Do Without You- 1991.) She then embarked on her maiden voyage, the 9 month Rhythm Nation World Tour 1990. It still holds the record for largest debut tour by ANY artist(2 million attendance record), not to mention a 7 minute sell lout of her Tokyo Dome dates...which was professionally recorded and broadcast in Japan. I am lucky enough to have a bootleg copy of that DVD which was May 19th, 1990. I turned ten years old a few days later on May 24th. So this album has been a part of my life for a long time. I am now a 42 year old man STILL in amazement at this album.

[@hutch1197]

@@damein5469 Michael made a false claim on his home video that she asked to borrow his military dancing for Rhtyhm Nation, which was a complete lie. "Moonwalker" was up against "Rhythm Nation" for a Grammy for the Best Long Form Video in 1990, and he lost to her, which he couldn't stand, given he had spent $22 million of his own money on "Moonwalker", only to lose to his sister. MJ put that lie out over 10 years after "Rhythm Nation" because at the time, Janet was riding high with her 5th consecutive #1 album, while MJ's star was continuing to fade. He's not as saintly as his fans think he is. He hated to lose and could be quite petty.

[@tintu2476]

@@hutch1197 I would like to know where you got this information from. All Michael said was that Janet wanted to use the military aesthetic for rhythm nation from captain EO and he agreed. Captain EO's choreography was military styled. How do you know that he was lying? Are you just speculating or do you have any proof?

[@hutch1197]

@@tintu2476 Because he lied all the time. He claimed far fewer plastic surgeries than he got. After he died, his Mother confirmed he was lying to the public for decades. He claimed he was dating Brooke Shields in 1991. She denied they ever dated. He claimed in an interview not to be in debt. After he died, public records revealed his estate was $200 million in debt. (It only recovered when people started buying up his merchandise after he died.) As far as "Rhythm Nation", there was a documentary released with the film. The military choreography was created by a street dancer named Anthony Thomas, whom Janet hired for the project. There is documented proof of Anthony teaching everyone the choreography in 1989. Then Michael claimed credit for this man's work over 10 years later. In conclusion: Michael has a claim in a home movie. Janet has the receipts. Case closed.

Even to this day, I still believe in the issues and messages raised by it. I know this may sound strange coming from a Heavy rock/metal fan, but the Rhythm Nation 1814 album is my personal favorite of all time and always will be. one of the most important messages that Janet said and she is 100% right was at the end of the album and this movie. *In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us.

This as short film with music videos is a true directorial masterpiece. Dominic Sena directed some of the most iconic music videos to date. Another one of his bad ass music videos is More by sisters of Mercy. His last iconic music video was also Janet Jackson's IF. I so miss music videos (not just short films) like this. Great directing, lighting, contrasts, framing, camera panning, close up/wide shots, just pure eyegasm. Nowadays music videos have zero story to tell, they're just pure imagery vomit, there's nothing interesting to them, nothing memorable. Here's some other insanely amazing directors with some of their best music videos that I grew up with and still love to this day. 1. Mark Romanek - De La Soul - Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey) - K.D. Lang - Constant craving - En Vogue - Free your mind - Madonna - Bedtime Story - Michael Jackson ft. Janet Jackson - Scream - Nine Inch Nails - The perfect drug 2. David Fincher - Michael Jackson - Who is it - Aerosmith - Janie's got a gun - Paula Abdul - Straight up - Billy Idol - Cradle of love - George Michael - Freedom! '90 - Madonna - Vogue, Express yourself, Bad girl, Oh Father - Foreigner - Say you will 3.Jean-Baptiste Mondino - Don Henley - Boys of summer - Sting - Russians - Bryan Ferry - Slave to love 4. Marcus Nispel - Elton John - Believe - George Michael - Killer/Papa was a rollin' stone 5. Anton Corbijn - Depeche Mode - World in my eyes, Strange Love, A question of time, Policy of truth, Personal Jesus 6. Vaughan Arnell - Simply Red - If you don't know me by now I so wish that music videos like these would make a comeback.

I had this on VHS and watched it until the tape was lost, one of my favorite short film by and ICONIC Icon Queen, it was filmed in Black & White which was the ONLY way the film should have been filmed, it has true character and it touches many different aspects in the music industry, in a way a behind the scenes of the life of a very talented Female Artist who is still GOING STRONG!!!! Love You Miss. Jackson Forever live the QUEEN!!!! This was done over 30 plus years and to me tells a story we all can relate to TODAY!!!

This music was so good, that my sister recorded these songs on her cassette at that time. Still true to this day.
