It's rooted in "first" because you're the one who said Lemonade serves as a blueprint for pop albums. With grandiose statements like that, I'm expecting there to be something musically I had never heard before, but alas...
You'd think Lemonade was What's Going On with this over-analyzation. Lemonade is just an album about relationships with one socially conscious song on it. And everything you listed has already been addressed musically long before there was a Lemonade. Your limited musical knowledge is rather laughable to say the least.
Just like you've been going on and on about how Whitney paved the way for bla bla bla as if she has done what Napoleon could not do. Going by your logic Withney's achievements don't count for anything since she is not the first to do it
Plus you opinion on lemonade is irrelevant for the simple fact that experts in feminism and African history have all analysed lemonade as a body of work.Your failed attempt at belittling the master piece is laughable because the impact is clear for everyone to see,so by all means keep playing dumb.

Unfortunately for you, our stance has never been about "who was the first". It was about "who did the MOST". So........
Did you read the post I quoted or you just want to argue just for the sake of it?
Did you actually read and comprehend Mr. Wonder, Chimier & Impactnet's post?? Or are you just throwing out careless statements because they go against the grain of your opinion??
If you read the thread they all have outlined it in several different ways in why Beyonce has not surpassed Whitney nor Mariah.
No. I love Bey and she's an undeniable superstar building her own massive legacy, but she's yet to reach Whitney or Mariah at their ultimate height.
It may be a bit difficult for people under 30 or so to objectively comprehend how massive Whitney and Mariah (you could toss in Celine as well) were at their respective peaks. I'm also not sure that it would be really plausible to fairly compare them considering how much the music industry and the nature of artist superstardom has changed in the 21st century.

It's obvious that you guys just want to argue for the sake of it.Are you saying that I need to read their post in the entire thread to actually respond the the original post I quoted? Or are you implying that I didn't understand the contents of the said post?what are you even going on about?
Thank you Mariah for giving us "Crazy in Love" featuring Jay Z
Eh going a bit too far here. Not to deny Mariah's impact with popularizing the rap feature in the mainstream/pop scene, but Bey was in a group with two rappers and doing songs with rap in them when she was 10 years old with Girls Tyme and had long established a foundation of using hip hop in her music with influencers like Janet, Mary J. Blige and TLC before Mariah went that route.
1993:
Mariah deserves her due for the mainstream pop music scene popularization, but people glaze over the fact that singers featuring rappers in music was already wildly popular in the R&B scene long before Mariah went there. It was almost 1996 when the Fantasy remix dropped after a half decade of R&B songs featuring rappers having success on the R&B/hip hop charts. Mariah just adapted an already working formula/sound (the 90s Bad Boy remix era was poppin' like crazy) and gave it further exposure. She was undeniably impactful in that respect, but people do too much attempting to give her such singular credit for the singer/rapper marriage.
Anyway, I had no intention of getting pulled back into this trap of a thread...bye.

Lemonade is a great piece of work but this is a lie
Beyoncé literally changed the release game that's more impact than any of those 2 combined ever had.
Also she's more famous globally as an artist than the other 2 ever were.
She's just a bigger and better handled brand.
And I really doubt she has peaked.
Whitney has one album that has sold more than all of the Beyonce's albums combined. Beyonce would probably bow down to Whitney like Nicki bowed to Lauryn Hill!!
at people implying she's bigger than Mimi or The VOICE.
Anyway, I had no intention of getting pulled back into this trap of a thread...bye.
