I think the hive defended this by saying she did a few different "oohs" and "ahhs" and said Jay Z's name or something in the beginning and they felt that was enough to recieve credit as the lead writer.

This is a mess though, I didn't expect this from Bey
The song originally called "Smack Into You" was written for Jon McLaughlins sophomore album "Ok Now" by Tricky Stewart and The-Dream. Though, the song was later scrapped from the album, Jon did perform the song live on his summer/fall tour.
Not letting an amazing song go to waste, it was presented to Beyonce and changed to "Smash Into You". Thats the part Beyonce must have "written" in order to receive that coveted writing credit because the two versions are practially identical lyrically otherwise.
Get that writing credit Bey, same song, with one different word

Linda Perry: Well hahaha um that's not songwriting but some of these 'artists' believe if it wasn't for them your song would never get out there so they take a cut just because they are who they are. But everyone knows the real truth even Beyonce.
To be fair--this is all of pop. Nobody actually has any musical talent; it's all how it's packaged up: either a steaming pile of stool (Britney), not giving fux at all (Rihanna), or desperately trying to be taken seriously at any cost (Beyoncé).
At the end of the day they're all useless: none of them write any of the their own songs and they don't play any instruments.
people who's faves have 0 songwriting credits on more than half of their discography suddenly have expert / full insight opinions on how the music industry works......
ya'll really do the most on Beyoncé because you have some internal personal dilemma with her, and furthermore none of you, me, anyone who's taking the time to be apart of this forum really knows how the music industry works, certainly not the story behind every song so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Only this forum and a few other irrelevant ones with 100 members care about this. Beyoncé, nor anyone from her team, has claimed she wrote these specific songs. She's just credited. Assume what you will, but it's Bey's bank that reflects the truth.
If I was rich and could invest on the future of a song, I'd buy someone out the credits for myself too. And then laugh profusely.

Where is SIA. We need her comments on how she BANKS on writing credits. Someone quote her ****, she's hilarious.
nope, and that's why they're seething. all these alleged exposes yet people wont stop sending demos to her and she still owns the entertainment industry
I mean... This producer said this! This producer said that!
I can also pull up quotes from people saying that she's an amazing writer and how she always take their songs to new heights but what's the point? The ASCAP award kinda speaks for itself lolz
Is artistic integrity going to feed Blue? Pay for her education, marriage?
This!!!!
The music business is dirty business, where singers can sell millions of records and end up broke and homeless. This will never be Beyonce's reality.
