Janet Jackson, Q-Tip, Joni Mitchell. "Got 'Til It's Gone (feat. Q-Tip and Joni Mitchell)." The Velvet Rope, Black Doll Inc, 1997.
Inspired by a J Dilla Remix of The Brand New Heavies' "Sometimes (feat. Q-Tip)," this is one of my all-time favourite tracks from Janet.
That Joni Mitchell sample from her folk classic "Big Yellow Taxi"? Q-Tip's rhymes? That beat? And that Mark Romanek-directed, Grammy award-winning music video inspired by the photography of South Africa's Drum magazine? Don't even get me started...
Now, why you wanna go and do that, love, huh?
