So far this Reverie mixtape is the best record basically ever. I should have listened earlier.

Listen to her first.

Also because in the stan world rih appeals a lot more to white people (to be frank) than bey who has always been seen as a black artist, rih is also a lot younger, hipper & makes more pop mainstream music, all of these things make her seem a little less black than bey to the GP imo
beyonce's blackness puts her under a harsh microscope in the stan world

this is so true and thus why you see EVERYONE quick to call bey ghetto and say she only appeals to "hoodrats" and 106&park and dumb **** like that and then for rihanna none of that EVER happens despite her internet thug persona because for the most part, she makes pop music and appeals to a white audience (thus her european aka "global" success). bey is r&b a "black" genre and rihanna is pop a "white" genre

People care about Beyonce and they know that her influence is almost unbeatable on young girls, especially black ones. She already has blonde hair, which she has had since her DC days, but now that she is the biggest star in the world and appeals to women of every color things are different. Women that are not black IDENTIFY with Beyonce and that is scary to black media, they dont want Beyonce to fit in easily with an all white audience, they want her to be there as a black woman. So every little detail that may even begin to look suspicious is called out to remind the world and those women who identify with Beyonce that she is black and "we" are not letting her go, her success is that of a black woman.

Rihanna has never been... the focus of black media or black influence. You dont open Ebony or Essence and see anything about Rihanna but her hair, her beginnings in music have been pop, she is compared to Katy, Gaga, and Britney more than Beyonce, she is JUST now making music that majority black audiences enjoy, her music was always aimed at European crowds and therefore you almost expect her to be a "sell out".

Whitney had a phase in her career in the late 80s or early 90s I believe where she was being called a sell out and accused to trying to use her music and image to appeal solely to white audiences, Beyonce has been accused of the same thus brining the 4 era upon us. I really do think she would have made another pop album had the backlash about her selling her soul to pop and euro buyers not been so rampant. The BEYONCE album and sound is the medium, and an amazing one.

What kinda thesis?

[Nippy'sReceipts]

it has nothing to do with racism. bey does look like a white woman..often.
is she bleaching or whitewashed? of course not but it's just a joke thrown out here since what else is there to say really? you can't call her ugly.

Not at all, it's quite the opposite.

I was mostly referring to Beyonce's enormous wealth and success but didn't want to get a WP.

Acclaimed, gorgeous, happy, filthy-rich queen. Wow poor everyone.

It's the "luck" of the draw. It's equivalent to high school -- once you're identified and labelled, that's "who you are" for the next four years. It's the same in the media and online. If Ke$ha becomes a size zero, do you think ATRL will stop calling her a refrigerator? Highly unlikely. Rihanna is "promiscuous." Beyoncé "bleaches." Ke$ha is "enormous." And Jennifer Lawrence is "super cool and super talented." The bottom line is that none of it is true.

I love you man.

I'm a journalism major.

Typing on the internet is fun because you don't even need to check for grammar mistakes and correct dead sentence structures.

I thought Fox was talking about off of ATRL though, I mean this has been pretty much a media scandal many times.

Disney Records, their flop ass marketing

[PrettyHurts]

Kworb & Ramos are the official DrIL iTunes trackers for the Beyhive
Bey thanks y'all for your dedication!! Impressive

[bijonse]

i think its also because the hive is jumpy and reacts to EVERYTHING because everyone has been "dragging" bey since 4

[Kang.]

Yeah In Case We Die is kinda the best mixtape of all time (can't think of a better one?), REVERIE is nice & chill, the newest set is a bit weaker but probably has her best song. Slightly Weeknd-esque drop in quality after getting signed but I think her album could be great, she just needs to get her name out there so she can start making the music she wants to.

+ think I can claim to have started her bandwagon on here back with this post
