With word that Janet Jackson will be releasing her new single from her upcoming album any day now, we decided what better way to celebrate Throwback Thursday than with a classic track. Instead of reminiscing on one of the Queen’s many chart toppers, we opted for one of her most infamous collaborations.
‘What’s It Gonna Be’ was the Busta Rhymes single pulled from his 1999 album Extinction Level Event and became one of Janet’s first and only collaborations ever. The song was a mega success dominating radio and once the video came it took the song to another level.
The Hype Williams directed video became one of the most expensive and astonishing visuals for its special effects at that time. The video still ranks as one of the most expensive music videos of all time costing reportedly over $2 million dollars. The song was an international success, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top ten of various countries.
While we anxiously wait to see what game changing moves Janet pulls next, get into today’s #TBT.
