Smoking this J dissecting Lemonade for the 35th time. So many layers. So many hidden meanings. All the African/Santeria imagery, the Venus and MaaT references, the fallen GOD concept (Jayz in sandcastles). This woman is a damn GENIUS. Not even talking about the way the samples in the music flow and bounce off one other so ****ing seamlessly (Vampire Weekend and Soulja Boy on the same 3:00 song)
Dont Hurt Yourself being a southern blues rock song, a genre started and pioneers by blacks in the south featuring LOVE GOD HERSELF, referencing that the first human fossils discovered were that of a black woman named LUCY! Science proves that women were here first, and considering we were created in GODS image
The ritual during 'orgasm heightened by grief, etc" was the amazonian reincarnation spell. She was surrounded by the lake of like of fire with her crown on and a muzzle. Notice at the end of 6Inch she's wearing a pant suit and her hair is "cut short". Its to symbolize the old her is DEAD AND GONE FOR GOOD.
And I think she's referencing the MUSIC INDUSTRY. Not Jay z. Think about it. (You'll never recreate her" it made me think. And couldn't Becky refer to the "top 40 blonde pop superstars"
Beyonces not the kind of woman to forgive someone for cheating (she told J Taborelli for his book lol)
So deep. So powerful. I'm actually pushing a 60 page dissection of lemonade for my final thesis paper.
Y'all keep comparing her to Michael, but its clearly Prince's thong she's tugging at
