Melanin, beauty and artistry won!



Proneness to skin cancer, coke addiction and a flop National Anthem performance didn't!

Anti evened out as a higher score on MC than 75% of pop girl albums.
If you try to discredit her acclaim, you're trying too hard.

Not really. X is one of his best albums.
Liquor and Back To Sleep are some of his best recent singles

Royalty is kind of a grower though I didn't really like it at first either. Def not his best work though.

But anyway, ChrisT is the most followed black male artist on social media. And one of the biggest black artists today. He's definitely not irrelevant by any means.

Perceptions of quality aside, his h00k features are now getting significantly more success than Chris-only singles.

But yes, lots of people I know keep up with Fist and bump his music. Although, Futecha is the challenger to his spot I think.

He need to be careful.

That's because every part of what Kendrick did was fresh and important.
It was all his own ideas and it was a masterpiece.
And it all just so happened to work out with the status quo.

Beyonce looked at what he did and Twitter trends. And then directly copy pasted ideas from a documentary. The message was great, though, just not very original and kinda gimmicky.

if its still a relevant topic i still dont see what the issue is All the WP in here having such a problem with a black woman bringing up black issues is just awkward to watch. Stop overstepping

Anti: 72
GGGB: 72
Rated R: 75

A 68 average I believe, overall.
Most gals don't do this well.

BNT from pitchfork isn't just a giveaway. There's plenty more, though i'm personally too lazy to find them right now. But there are ANTI tracks that had wonderful reception. Mostly found in the positive reviews.

ANTi has only gone #1 in ONE major music market.

Pitchfork are one of the most reputable music publications, one that has never praised Roachga

? Yeah, I just said what she did was great.
But where Beyonce goes wrong is the same as Taylor Swift.
She lets the capitalist machine become a bit too obvious.
This has nothing to do with me being white, sry.

[Anvarie]

Beyoncé's voice was original and more importantly personal
Blue, her husband, her heritage like come on
Using clips of scenery from a documentary (which she got permission to use) while inserting her own visuals is fantastic. It wasn't just an ode to the movement, it was her take and it slayed

And the song is free for everyone to download, so everyone can hear the message, and the video is unlisted so her label can't make coins off of streaming. but continue making jokes about her merchandise which she doesn't even promote

Two months until the queen returns. The OHH (Obsessed Hikaru Haters) won't know what hit them.

Well the tour stars in two months, yeah, but there's like a 99% chance that the album will drop before that, probably sometime during this month.

If Taylor Swift, Drake and Beyoncé can, it's not that impressive.

Releasing Formation would've felt like a genuine statement if she didn't announce and started selling tickets for the tour of the same name the second after she released it, like the whole thing feels calculated to a t
