Originally posted by Ressti X-Tina's first album (1999) POP Mixed reviews Beyoncé's first album (1998) R&B and Hip Hop Positive reviews Bey had a sexy and sassy image from the start and please don't ever talk about "urban" music ever again.

Originally posted by atrlster On what planet is a Destiny's Child album, Beyonce's first album And take a listen to Christina's album if you aren't aware how R&B it is despite the perception of it being a pure pop album And what do the reviews even have to with this? Not to mention, there was no Metacrtitic back then so you're jumping the gun acting like that DC album was worshipped by critics

Originally posted by Toysoldier99 Rihanna & Beyonce- BEYONCE & Unapologetic- Stripped. Why: Rihanna and Beyonce both showed their most urban images and songs in their latest albums, the albums are filled with urban songs, touching ballads, sassy attitude and a rebellious attitude. These albums are also considered the best of each artist ( with the exception of Rated R ).

Originally posted by Tom_Ford How would this even be remotely true? Beyoncé has been making Urban music since DC4... while Stripped was okay, it definitely did not influence albums that came out over a decade later.

Not you defending this thread by claiming DC =/= Beyoncé

I really don't give a **** about where she started or what the name of the group was. Beyoncé, DC, whatever, it's all the same to me. Destiny's Child's album is way more "urban" than X-Tina's R&B-lite Mariah Carey wannabe first attempt. My point is, X-Tina never influenced Bey's music. X-Tina's album also came out 18 months after DC's, so either way... ********.

Here is Beyoncé singing a R&B Hip Hop track in 1998

Originally posted by Ascension On what planet wouldn't DC's debut be the first music released in Beyonce's career? Y'all can be so ridiculous with that ****.

I mean these girls would have everyone believe that DIL was the first album Bey EVER released and she didn't have a career before 2003.
