Janet Jackson
Album: Damita Jo (2004)
Notable Songs: “I Want You,” “Strawberry Bounce,” “My Baby”
Remember Damita Jo? The ill-fated Janet Jackson album that received very little support and promotion from MTV due to a certain wardrobe malfunction? Some would say that the artist’s career never fully recovered. It’s a shame since most people don’t realize that Kanye did some production on the album.
