Basically what I am saying is Rihanan ha label is clearly making more money off of Rih's better sales. Not my fault bey's too lazy to release albums (let's be honest, it's not like she's writing anyway)

Please direct me to anything with Bey listed as a writer for IIWAB orrrrrrrr any court case naming her as a defendant for "stealing" writing credits. I'll wait.

Certain categories go to the producers & songwriters of the track, not necessarily the artist.

If Rihanna had some star power it wouldn't be an issue. No other pop girl features producers, just your weak slave.

Rihanna's label making more money off of her shows that Rihanna isnt in control of her own career and finances and isnt a good thing.
ALSO, Bey doesnt have a writing credit on If I Were a Boy and NeYo is credited on Irreplaceable. But ok

The kid wasn't mixed, though. And the kid was too old to be his child with Patsy. Fassbender's character left his slaves with another owner for "two seasons," if I recall, which I'm assuming means "two years." That child is more than two years old. I think the child in that scene is meant to symbolize the new found "innocence" of Fassbender's character after he spent those years "cleansing his spirit" of negativity to wash away "the plague" on his crops, hence him being all in white in the scene.
He's a religious fanatic, remember.

It wasn't a "power couple" list dear.
Bey got her own profile as well as jay
Quote:
Then there's Beyoncé, Queen Bey's Dec. 13 midnight surprise, which arrived through a one-week exclusive, album-only release on iTunes. Like Jay Z's everything-at-once-release with Samsung, it shut out streaming, retail and individual track sales, forcing listeners to focus on the album as a cohesive work. The result seemed to transform everyone—industry executives, journalists, Twitter cynics, casual listeners—back into a fan.
"She took a high risk and was highly rewarded for it," says Guy Oseary (No. 38), who manages Madonna and U2 at his Untitled Entertainment. "I love what she did. Thank you, Beyoncé—it brings much-needed excitement and buzz to our industry."
FULL LIST OF THIS YEAR'S POWER 100
BUY THE ISSUE
Though there was great discussion of the game-changing implications of both releases—and whether they can ever be re-created—perhaps what's most important is that Jay Z and Beyoncé found ways to focus attention on music itself. For years label bosses have said that audiences will pay for music if they're excited, and that turns out to be true: Magna Carta . . . Holy Grail sold 528,000 in its first week, which beat Jay's previous recent releases, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In total, the album sold 1.1 million copies in 2013, one of only three rap releases to go platinum last year. Beyoncé moved even quicker with the singer's surprise blitz—in the first three hours of release the album sold 80,000 copies through iTunes and, sources say, 850,000 in the first week. In its four weeks of release it sold 1.3 million. That total was enough to make it the eighth-biggest-selling album of 2013 in less than a month.
How Beyonce Kept 'Beyonce' a Secret
"The release of Beyoncé's album was a great way to finish the year, and a chief reminder for me that artists, songwriters and producers have really good ideas," says Warner/Chappell Music president of creative for North America Jon Platt (No. 51), who brought both Beyoncé and Jay Z to the powerful publisher. "We're supposed to help them nurture and realize those dreams, not kill them. At times, experienced company executives can be so smart at outlining every reason why an idea can't work instead of focusing on how it can work. In the case of Beyoncé's album, her team focused on how it could work."
Island Def Jam and Columbia, Jay Z and Beyoncé's respective labels, worked closely with the artists and their management teams to execute these disruptive deals, but other label heads remain most impressed by the artists' take-charge approach. "Just watching [the Beyoncé] phenomenon happen was really exciting—and admittedly more enjoyable watching it from the sideline than being in the midst of it," says Republic Records president/COO Avery Lipman (No. 17). "It said, ‘Look what a certain type of artist can do with the press of a button.'"
And RCA Music Group president/COO Tom Corson and CEO Peter Edge (No. 21) see the moves as part of a shift toward social media and partners outside the traditional label system. "The dynamic of social media moving the needle is now at the center of any smart campaign," Corson says. But more than ever, Edge argues, "finding [new] opportunities has become more significant—Jay Z with Samsung, Justin [Timberlake] with Target and Budweiser. It's not terribly new, but it seems like this is the new dynamic of the business—to find partners. We see ourselves as partners not only with the artists and their camps but with other companies and aligned businesses."

By that logic Bey would only have like 3 grammys considering that a lot of her Grammys are from features. Her album grammys are for her writers and producers not exactly for her. The solo grammys she has are from R&B categories

What kinda analysis? 
What do you make of the dolls Patsey was seen making? Were they just to show she was still a child enjoying simple pleasures, or do you think they were spiritual voodoo dolls/"protectors"? It was Louisiana.
