both Lemonade & Anti diary are both great ways to precede an album release (well AD would have been great if it was handled more efficiently). In an era when an album is 3 singles + filler, it's great to have exciting rollout methods
Yeah, that Samsung paid for? It was a new form of advertisement to get a budget together for the album, not sure why that's shameful when she hasn't toured in many years and doesn't necessarily have the "empire" that other artists have cashed themselves into. She made top notch visuals with it and made it a fun thing for her fans to partake in - for example, I won free tickets to see her in concert. Why is this "tryhard "? It's a new, fresh idea and it involved fan activity.

beyoncé's trendy abuse of feminism is annoying to say the least, but calling it the Mrs Carter show, I thought, was actually one of her cleverer moves. Like she can be a powerful woman but still be dedicated to her husband
