Like, I just read an article with Gwyneth Paltrow where she&her trainer mention Freakum Dress

Yes, yes, & yes.

Freakum Dress had to be released, cause I know it and heard it on the radio. And I don't check for Beyonce. Like at all.

The Breakthrough I can see as being considered a classic for Mary. And I can see NSN being considered but not so much for 'Full Moon' but I am biased as that's her worst album to me.

Full Moon is a cult classic iconic album. Definition of a silent influence on the game.

But I prefer young Brandy her tone so I slightly prefer Never Say Never. Both are excellent tho.

To be honest, Beyoncé only truly gets acknowledged for the way it was released and marketed. It has quality, but without the way it was released, it wouldn't have gotten nearly as much critical attention. I don't think the industry thought that much of its quality, hence why it lost those Grammys.

Idk, I play around with calling B'Day and 4 classics sometimes because every song on both those album is very commonly known and remembered, at least among Black folk.

I think you could make that argument for Dangerously in Love but not for B'Day and especially not for 4, even though the latter two are clearly better.

Speaking of Dangerously in Love, will Beyonce ever top the one-two-three-four punch that she delivered with "Crazy in Love", "Baby Boy", "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl"? Her best streak of singles to date.

Freakum Dress couldn't have been a single. Too many genres mixed into one song. The other 3 weren't. I do remember Kitty Kat getting a lot of airplay. It was here Loveeeeeee Song

[BLaCKPoWeR]

FD was not a single, I just checked.

Well that settles it. Every track on B'Days original standard edition remains well-known and widely popular to this day; B'Day is an R&B classic.

Human is that **** and you know it. The "Long Distance" video alone.

[Cap10Planet]

I think Full Moon is Brandy's best album. I love every single song on it.

[SneakerNerd]

What's amazing is that Beyonce is one of very few artists from the 90s that is still considered A-list after all these years.

Human slays when you're in your feelings tbh. Like I can't listen to it if I'm happy Af. & Yas, I remember Long Distance & its video slaying the bubbling under chart careers.

Y'all need to learn y'alls R&B history. The chorus samples Johnny Gill's "My My My" and Ariana is singing it note for note. It might be a bit before your time tho. (It's 2 years older than me too. )

[SneakerNerd]

This use to be my ****!

The singles were Deja Vu, Ring the Alarm, Irreplaceable, Beautiful Liar, Get Me Bodied, and Green Light.

@ ALL the non-singles being just as remembered.

And B'Day defines who Beyonce is an artist if you think about it, well, young pre-child Beyoncé at least.

[Cap10Planet]

Human is a bore to me. It was just standard R&B and it was pretty soulless for a Brandy album.
