Welp!

I guess people were wrong about a certain other surprise release only getting acclaim and sales for its release tactic.

she gave the album away for free and has social media buzzing, she doesn't need CNN making some story about it dddd

your second point doesn't even make sense when it isn't up for sale

hold off on your third point, there's been like three reviews

anyway, Rihanna and Beyonce threads are tired, please stop

Because Bey is much bigger and more loved by the GP than Rih

Anti is still a great album tho

ANTI isn't a surprise release though, we knew it was coming.

It's also not a visual album.

People knew she'd be releasing for a while now.

bey made the world stop? okay...

Because she didn't want to. Everything that happened (and didn't happen) in 2015, combined with the fact she literally gave her album away for free, should have taught you that

Because Beyonce is the true queen, Rih is lessor, etc.

Lack of star power maybe?

Sis yew have no chill, let us pray.

Because she waited 3 years to release a garbage album

But Bey didn't make the world outside the States stop neither...

Idk, it kind of just happened and we all moved on with our lives.

Yeah noone in my office knew about it so navy u can thank me later for the free promo. I expected heavy media coverage. With Bey, the reviews were pouring in. This just feels "less than" on every level

we knew this album was dropping soon... so it wasnt a surprise? you tried it i guess

i hate these kind of threads from both sides, Navy and the Hive. i know there were TONS of hateful threads during the "BEYONCÉ" era but let's just not stoop so low. Enjoy the music, the album is great, we'll see how it goes commercially and critics-wise.
