Ok i love Bey, but this is not true. BB is a mess. Reminds me of when they put her at number 1 artists of the decade so far, only because of Self Titled
But I also agree that Bey has done urban before Rih, so the Navy should stop as well
No lies told, Bey has been doing this sound since DC with Soldier and as a solo artist with Diva etc. You would have to be a delusional stan not to see she was the first to do it. Billboard didn't lie!
Rihanna has raved countless of times that Beyonce had been her inspiration growing up and how she looks up to her etc....
So I'm more inclined to believe that Bey influenced her?
She hasn't said that in a while though, mostly during the first era of her career but anyone with eyes can see that Rihanna is different and completely opposite to Beyonce. Whereas Bey tries to materialize perfection, Rihanna embraces her imperfections. They are completely different personas and anyone who has listened to BBHMM and thinks it bares any similarities to ***flawless better get their ears checked.
Are you even believing yourself? you ARE posting negative comments about her in so many threads. Don't act like you are actually posting unbiased criticism
I praise some of Beyonce's music often on here but of course you'll act like I'm some determined hater because I'm saying Billboard is biased when it comes to Beyonce and her impact and my point still stands.

But literally who else? There's not that many options from this decade. It wasn't ONLY because of ST. ST just cemented her legacy.
So are we gonna pretend that POTR and Hard don't exist. Wasn't rihanna being brash cocky and vulgar in those songs. Both which came before flawless. I don't get the comparison.
