Lemonade has zero race reflection apart from Formation yet the media basically called it the Rosa Parks of albums.

all she did was cast some girls with afros in the video and it was viewed in a completely different spectrum and the essays of "black womanhood!!!" "#blackgirlmagic!" started

Too be fair her English stuff could have been better besides the Kindgon Hearts songs

She literally just could have made English version of her Japenses ones.

why don't you all complain when Sufjan, Grimes, Bjoke, Courtney Bernett, Joshua Tillman, etc get massive acclaim? just look at last year's most acclaimed albums and there is one black person and one black group in the top 10.

They're white, they obviously received their scores solely on merit.

Why are you comparing beyonce to Bjork?

All of those obnoxious ass white viners bump Drake...

[Nialler]

ST was a surprise release visual album gimmick, it was obvious it would get high score cuz hype, she figured out it wouldn't work for a second time so she hopped on the issues she never cared before but were hot topic in liberal media

[FONT="Georgia"]Um... how is she grossing $300 million on tour, and selling out stadiums in Italy, Netherlands, and France? Black females + gays aren't responsible for that, or even close to most of it.

Um. I know that. That's because she has them AND white people supporting her. Just not nearly as many as Drake.

Beyonce appeals to just as much of white middle-class as someone like Drake. She just doesn't appeal to raging white conservative racists, but neither does Drake ( if you think people on tractors in Texas voting for Trump are listening to any of Drake's hits).

She doesn't though sis.
Her music and strong black woman/black power image are far more polarizing. College white girls do not stan for Beyonce as hard as they stan for Drake. Please.

props to Solange for actually doing what Beyonce didn't, which was make a album about the black experience. Get rid of Formation and Freedom and Lemonade is the same old "ni66a did me wrong, I don't need him" album

Just finished the first episode, I liked it!

There is a strong BIAS with the white, rocker male & white indie male in music too. There always has been, I mean look at those all-time lists w/ mediocre albums & trashy white men who made basic music.

All this bias, which is why you just gotta decide for yourself what music to **** with.

Mess at Carly Rae Jepsen not being in the top 25 after her stans insistence she was critically acclaimed.

Beyoncé and Drake fans don't intersect at all, IMO.

I feel like Rihanna and Drake fans intersect more, and that's probably because of the obvious.

fff I really don't understand why iHype is really trying to convince themselves that Drake and Bey are in the same realm with this. It's clearly not the case whatosever

They stan her "media persona" full stop. Her recent music not so much as her past hits. People like Lena Dunham will talk up Beyonce all day, buy Lemonade to say they have it, and listen to it maybe once

Why is Solange making an album of music about her experience as a black woman any more or less commendable than Beyonce making an hour long movie about the same topic?

Some of you guys aren't even trying to hide it.

[slw84]

Ugh I want to stan Beyonce again so bad but I still feel a betrayal with I am such a farce.

Now I understand why they spend so much money on maintaining a brand because once that trust is lost...it's hard to get back.

Long sigh...

I need to learn to forgive the artists I felt betrayed by (JLO/Beyonce/Nicki/Chris brown)
Well except Chris brown his music continues to decline.
I remain loyal to the end with everyone else...

Has anyone ever felt the struggle to forgive pass transgressions and be open minded about embracing the future?

[Shinning]

The way they ALWAYS have a ******** excuse to discredit Bey

Beyonce has a bigger white fanbase than Drake.

Compare their career stats in Europe.

Beyonce has more white people buying her music, going to her tours, yet somehow doesn't have a bigger white fanbase...
