Beyonce is the only to ever pull off the dual releases somewhat successfully. Nicki and Rih always flop.

Banks struck gold with Begging For Thread and Waiting Game.

Amazing songs but a boring album.

[rihannafan]

Please go listen to "Alright" now and tell me what is so revolutionary about it.

[Artemisia]

black artists have time and again laid the groundwork for musical trends

coming @ them for being 'redundant' or not displaying growth is just ignorant

this is a fact, dont reply!

I bet you haven't even listened probably. There's no way you heard "And I Drove You Crazy" and didn't care for it.

that's literally the only commercial song on the album

but lets forget about songs like For Free?, Wesley's Theory, King Kunta, These Walls, I, etc

It is not ignorant. It is being realistic and not accepting to be spoonfed the opinions of others.

Alright is the most acclaimed song on the album. Also "I" is definitely more commercial lol.

I listened to the entire album when it came out but I don't remember much since then. I might re-listen again to see if it got any better tho.

How are black artists not in need of artistic growth when Rihanna constantly being shamed for making pop music?

This new Water-type Pokemon has the name of that one Gaga song Nicole made up.

Poppicaso.

Formation Tour's last segment made me decide to attend this September

[rihannafan]

Like I don't mind, you can make urban music as much as you want, but don't sell it as anything more than basic urban music just like Taylor doesn't sell her music as more than basic pop music. FKA is different though she has become a parody of herself.

Some of the most important pop musicians were black.

A few losers on twitter and fomos on ATRL don't shape music discourse. No one cares that Rihanna does pop music.

Any fan of hip hop knows it's not. A Tribe Called Quest pioneered it way back in the late 80s.

Kendrick just builds on that legacy unlike other people have before him.

[alkralkra]

Beyst releasing dual singles once again? Will she ever learn?

Aint gonna drag her cuz Lemo is the album of the decade but wow, she's so good at sabotaging herself

[Artemisia]

It's not about it being unprecedented. Nothing in music is unprecedented. It doesn't mean TPAB isn't innovative.
