If I took the time to express to the world WHY this is the #1 album of 2010 and may actually be a top 10 soul album of decade, we'd be here all muh-fuggin day. Janelle Monae constantly proves time and time again that her influences grew her talents to such a level of expression that listening to her actually pulls you back decades. Before you know is you're hearing Michael Jackson, Prince, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, etc. Then the album end just as fast is it begin with tracks like Faster. Her interludes are some of the most beautiful displays of orchestral sampling in hip hop. Songs like Neon Valley Street are like no other's I've heard in a very long time. The album is a masterpiece.
