"plz explain Janelle Monae's relevance."


  

          

I get she's marketed as a mainstream antithesis, but does she hav the hits to back it up? Any great albums? Can u even name 3 of her songs w/o google?

Is she a platinum artist? I'm guessing no. Is she controversial? No.
I know these yardsticks are shallow but today's music climate often require such.

basically,she gets the acclaim/attention of someone much bigger imo. And this isnt "hate" btw. Just curious as to what still keeps her in the public eye like that. She has one hell of a PR team apparently
