The fact that yall will always want to make shady comments when some people already told yall some of the songs have samples so of course she would credit the original songwriters. Yall would call her a thief if she didn't, and shade her if she did

I don't care that she produced/wrote all the songs. Wynter Gordon is on it and nothing else matters.

A lot of song use a sample in the production so all the writers of that original song are credited even if the sample is just one small part of the final piece.

This is idiotic since none of us get to see the percentage of royalties for the songs.
Don't even.

Beyoncé's collaborators always say how much involvement she has, and its never "hey she came and changed a word and left". That has happened for certain songs but as I said do you have a receipt she gets 1/3? If not don't say that.

How do you have 15 people writing one song laskjdflkasldfkj

[accelgors]

not to be too argumentative, but the title is kind of misleading. she co-wrote and co produced the entire album.

there's nothing wrong with collaborating with people and it doesn't mean her input doesn't mean anything, but we shouldn't imply that she was the only producer and writer of the entire album, because she wasn't.

[accelgors]

also, i'm sure beyonce legitimately did have a role in the writing of the songs. we shouldn't be so cynical : P

Let's say you have 3 people writing a song. 2 others are credited for production.
They sample a song by a band. That band has 6 members.
They also sample another song for a brief part. That song was written by 4 people.

Now you have a song with 15 writing credits.
