Beyonce is so overhyped. You think the GP is still gonna care once she's no longer shoved down their throats with all her propaganda? Truth is no one knows who's going to be remembered in 30 years. I'm sure back in the 50s no one expected Marilyn to end up more memorable than all her peers.
Interesting. Well she'll be far more remembered and cared about than nearly all of her peers and all of her successors thus far, that's for damn sure.
"Relevance" is a myth. If you don't make something out of it, financially or culturally, then what was the point?
