Legend recognize legend.
It's what we (Bey stans) were saying when
4 underperformed and everyone was coming for the King because she didn't serve
I Am... era figures with her follow-up. The fact is, these women put a lot of work and effort into their music and performances to make their work is representative of their vision - they've proven that they don't need to play the numbers/charts games or live single to single to stay relevant.
Living Legends like Queen Liza and Cher (and in Bey's case, Tina Turner and Prince [among countless others]) stay recognizing true artistry and talent while ATRL clings to tired receipts, stale number-checking shade and wack faves who can't sing, dance, or put on a show if they were
paid to do it.
