Obviously not

Yes but she did it with Destiny's Child, not in 2008.

Not exactly. She did it with more of a rap/urban feel in the 90s with DC, but technically TLC did it first with Creep and Waterfalls.

She slayed it and made it mainstream (along with Ja Rule), thus influencing the new breed of artists.

I was about to say yes, but remembered Mariah did it once in Breakdown.

But Bey made it popular again in the early 00s.

Yes, but it goes back as far as Destiny's Child No No No (1997). It wasn't until Destiny's Child made it their signature sound is when the style became a staple.

No

There is no rap-singing in Creep and Waterfalls.

She did it way before Diva, but indeed, Bey started a trend with this like she always starts trends!

She's done it before Diva, though (Upgrade U, Ring the Alarm), and even in DC days.

Creep's verses has more singing than rap style, but its still rap-singing nonetheless.

She pioneered it that's for damn sure. Many producers have talked about it. She's been on it since the 90s

Yes. Destiny's Child started it in 1997 with No, No, No Part 1.

No, not in the way that the rappers are doing it -- that's something different and more along the lines of what Bone Thugs and later Ja Rule used to do and T-Pain took a step forward with the autotuning element as well. But she absolutely did bring a different style of singing to the forefront with her hip hop influenced rhythmic singing that she introduced with DC. That ended up being extremely influential in the way R&B/urban singers approached up tempo vocal delivery -- instead of melodically singing over hard beats like we once saw with Aaliyah, MJB etc, you started seeing singers singing much faster and following the beat like rappers, more choppy staccato phrasing etc.

omfg sis this is embarassing. Gaga invented EDM and leotards teas.

No

Biz Markie with Just a Friend

Edit: Not the same thing lol

Yup.
