Where it belongs. Hopefully it will win it's well deserved AOTY at the Grammys. The icing on the already perfect cake.

Lemonade is so overrated at this point. Anti, Blonde, ASATT, LOP are much better records and have much higher replay value.

I agree,.
Lemonade is a good album but critics are overpraising it because it was released by Beyonce. No other black artist would have got this amount of acclaim if they released it. Plus the possibility of them being called racist if critics were to criticise it.

It must be sad to have to refer to this mystical "what if" because your narrative isn't real. Sorry hun, but the album is exceptional and the critics, musical experts and GP agree.

Well thanks for sharing that.
Lemonade deserves all the praise. You can tell Bey worked her ass off and its paying.

Blonde and Life of Pablo aren't even better than Anti, let alone Lemonade.
You can argue Anti and Seat at the Table are better than Lemonade but that's it. You know you lying about the other two.

I love how they think their opinion is more valid than others.

Were you this hurt when Kanye and Kendrick Lamar were topping lists left and right with their 94 and 96 metascores? Or are you just upset because this time it's Beyoncé.
Black artists have always had more acclaimed than others because they are better. It's simple

No-one said anyone's opinion is valid than the other. You're the ones fuming because someone dared to give an opinion that doesn't align with the groupthink.
Nobody should expect better from this fanbase anyway.
