To be honest in 2001 race issues wasn't a huge deal as it is now. 

 

It was a much different world. 

 

To be fair most of the police brutality was teens just doing normal teen behavior. 

 

That's the problem.  Adults forget being a teenager and doing minor scuffles with the laws

 

Race has always been an issue and it’s just more in the forefront now due to camera phones and social media! Racism has always been a big issue! It’s sad that racism exists!

I think it was known that it was intended for her, but I don't think it had been confirmed she actually recorded it.

Oh see I had assumed she (Janet) recorded it like most practices in the music industry, songs get constantly passed around recorded in Full, demos etc I mean how many times on here have we herd and discussed a Britney version leak of a song another artist recorded and they released it instead of Britney.

But I guess it’s good gossip for the day 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Wow, this would be amazing to hear. What if she puts her version on Black Diamond?  👀 

What's black diamond? Janet's new album?

That would be kinda ironic, a black woman singing "i'm a slave..."

it wouldn't have aged well.

I love them both but I don't want to hear Janet's version. I think it would be better than Britney's and my head is not prepared to process that.

I was thinking the same...

I know I may be young but I got feelings too 

Janet would have been 34/35 at the time

Maybe the song was created for Janet, but it was for Britney it's obvious, the universe wanted this and it was.

Chloe kardashian in the early 2000's don't agree with you 

[mythology]

The song screams Janet so this isnt surpising.  Curious how her version sounds...

[Spicechinodiva]

Britney was offered the very dirty Milkshake by Kelis. 

 

Some say, it went to the right artist. 

 

They couldn't see Britney doing the x rated Milkshake justice.

Damn! Id love to hear Janets interpretation of this song! She is one of my favorite vocalists, such a rare tone and texture. She sounds so soft and sweet but she is powerful and lethal. 

[ObsessedBritFan1]

Oh man, tough being a black woman sometimes.

Nope, no black woman indulges in her kinky side. Their all nuns.

She should have changed it to:

I know I'm not that young but I still feel it too...

The same for Britney, if she ever performs that song again...

[MIKE_INT]

I guess the lyrics were different and more racy for Janet cause she was like 35 in 2001

All you people look at me like I'm too old for love

Well did you ever think such ***iness could fit me like a glove? 

Always saying Mrs. J, it's something you're above 

Well I can not fathom why cause *** is what I love

Yea black artists could get blackballed from the industry in the older days so we often didn't hear it brought up nearly as much too

Britney never record Umbrella, the label passed it on before she even had chance to listen to it as there was already enough material for Blackout
