Welcome to a another journey through the golden era of R&B and hip-hop culture. In this episode of I Only Listen to 90s Music, Darryl, Stacey, and Scott celebrate the 40th anniversary of Janet Jackson’s revolutionary "Control" album. The crew breaks down how Janet asserted her independence from the Jackson family shadow to deliver seven number-one singles and set a new standard for empowerment in the industry. The conversation also delves into the complex history of the Jackson family dynamics, featuring a breakdown of the viral reaction to Diana Ross performing for Katherine Jackson and the bizarre, alleged shooting incident involving Tina Turner and Randy Jackson. Beyond the headlines, the hosts explore the "Dirty Mac Tour" and curate their dream 90s R&B concert lineup, debating how artists like Donnell Jones, Tyrese, and Jon B would transform a modern stage. They also tackle the most influential hip-hop features of all time, debating the chemistry behind Mariah Carey’s iconic remix with ODB and the unexpected success of the DMX and Sisqo collaboration. From the surprising origins of Groove Theory’s hit song "Tell Me" to the hilarious story of a dad going rogue at a Stephanie Mills concert, this episode offers a perfect blend of high-level music analysis and genuine nostalgia. 0:00 90s Music, Sorority Drama, and Michael Jackson Movie Reactions 5:43 Diana Ross’s Performance for Katherine Jackson Sparks Mixed Reactions 12:48 Tina Turner Allegedly Shoots Randy Jackson During Domestic Dispute 16:09 Celebrity Drama, Rumors, and 80s Music Industry Scandals 23:46 Impact of Key Member Departures on Music Groups 33:50 Nostalgia, One-Hit Wonders, and Chaka Khan’s Comeback 41:51 Throwing draws at a Stephanie Mills Concert 48:11 Imagining a 90s R&B and Rap Concert Lineup 57:13 Planning a Nostalgic R&B Tour Featuring Underrated Artists 1:07:09 Unexpected Origins of Groove Theory’s Hit Song Tell Me 1:22:51 Debating The Top Hip Hop Features Of All Time List 1:34:34 Debating Billboard’s Top 50 Female Rappers List 1:42:24 Revisiting The Classics: 40 years of Janet Jackson’s Control Album and Its Cultural Impact BRAND New Voicemail 314-649-3113 Join the I Only Listen to 90s Music Facebook Group http://bit.ly/3k0UEDe Follow I Only Listen to 90s Music on IG https://bit.ly/3sbCphv Follow SOLC Network online Instagram: https://bit.ly/39VL542 Twitter: https://bit.ly/39aL395 Facebook: https://bit.ly/3sQn7je To Listen to the podcast Podbean https://bit.ly/3t7SDJH YouTube http://bit.ly/3ouZqJU Spotify http://spoti.fi/3pwZZnJ Apple http://apple.co/39rwjD1 IHeartRadio http://ihr.fm/2L0A2y
