What is so groundbreaking about Beyonce's Lemonade?

[donkey tugger]

She'll never beat Ben Shaw's

[vurt]

White people in particular have been confused about how to react to such a masterfully crafted piece of art

What a foolish comment...

I found it quite funny and fitting TBH.

Not so much to do with skin colour though, just wondering at the kind of stuff you can do hundreds of millions of Dollars with in the US.

probably the same thing you could do anywhere with that much cash.
pretty much anything.

I meant, that you can do so much money with what Beyoncé or her husband do. Crazy.

yeah, but as squigls mentioned theyre illuminati puppets, if jay z keeps throwing triangles they'll keep laughing to the bank




and "crazy" I see what you did there

I prefer Kelis' Milkshake

ah, more a boobs in the face than a being peed on guy.
best option really. also, less embarrassing to bring up a few dates in to a relationship.

On a serious note, I don't like Beyonce's voice, it sounds pretty irritating to me. Her music is also just mediocre in my view. Never understood her success, frankly.

I actually prefer Kelis, she's crazy, yet authentic

[AnX]

Yeah, she's a warbler, fuckin annoying.

She'll never beat Ben Shaw's

You do know thats non alchoholic?

[vurt]

i really liked that first big hit she had "i hate you, so much right now ahhhh!" was a refreshing take on pop.

cant say i know much else of either, besides crazy by beyonce and some destinys child.
i might if i heard them, but wouldn't know they where them unless told.

Indeed, is it safe for us to not appreciate it without being labelled a misogynistic racist

I... i had no idea...

tbh, i think jay z makes the money, hes a hell of a business man even if you don't rate his music.
wouldn't matter if his and beyonces records tanked these days the amount of pies his fingers are in.

Aside frim led zep, never heard of any of them.

- Diplo has worked with Madonna, Usher etc.
- The Weeknd's last 2 albums has been no. 1 in US and UK.
- Jack White - same thing
- Soulja Boy had a no. 1 hit, although a few years back.
- Andre 3000 and Big boi - AKA Outkast' last 5 albums has been either 1 or 2 in US.
- Kendrick Lamar - last 3 albums has been 1 or 2 in US.

You might not know them, but these are huge names.
I imagine this album wasn't cheap to make, but I guess she has pretty deep pockets by now.

And those names pretty much assured it would sell to a wider audience

i think jack white will show up anywhere these days so long as hes assured hell be allowed to wear his pork pie hat in all publicity shots and squawk like an angry crow on choruses.

Real ground breakers are not recognized by the grammys while they are breaking ground
they get the lifetime achievement style lip service later on

Exactly: later on ! A refreshing sound can flourish immediately. Yet it's only when looking back to value its real creative renewal.

Quite a few songs/albums/movies/etc. were dismissed as (whatever .. feel free to substitutie any characterisation) or were simply not recognized as groundbreaking. Only much later they gained a special status and became iconic.

Many times it's only possible to value non-ordinary creations retrospectively.
