That just tells me that maybe I shouldn’t trust Swizz opinion. The way he dismissed JANET JACKSON was crazy. He clearly been listening to his non singing ass wife for too long :russ:
i was BAFFLED...he legit seemed agitated that people even suggested Janet...I wasnt even born for her 80s run and understand what Janet is...she cant fukk with Missy?...sheesh....and i love Missy

I love missy too, I even love her and Janet’s collabs. Missy vs Janet is just an odd Verzuz matchup. Janet’s 80’s run is enough to beat damn near anyone and we aren’t even getting to Janet/Velvet Rope

Y'all Youngins really need ya ass kicked. Beyonce is not seeing Janet Jackson And will get slaughtered doing a Verzus against Janet

Even Timbaland and Swizz Knows this and will never jeopardize their working relationship with Jay-Z or Beyonce by setting up a Janet Jackson vs Beyonce just to watched Beyonce get blown out
It’s sad that Bey don’t have much competition from her era.. that makes more sense than putting her against somebody like Janet Jackson. I mean she could get Rihanna but I know them folks ain’t trying to let that happen lol.

I think it's because of Bey doing that she didn't have any competition because the ones that was competition it was some shady ass blackballing going on, and If it wasn't for Ri being a Jay-Z artist they would of got her ass up out of there also

About what?
the lateness
the djs talking over the songs and scratching
the djs mixes
artists taking breaks in the middle of the show
didnt like keyshia getting up and walking/scrolling her phone while Ashanti was performing
said he doesnt want anymore matchups with artists that are not cool with each other

he was talking about setting ground rules from here on out...Tim was a little more lenient on some things but Swizz wasn't having it

it doesn't... as i challenged people when the album dropped, please drop song lyrics from that album that are otherworldly - where do the lyrics excel? visual package, sure, but i don't watch albums, i listen to them...

Otherworldly dont know what u mean by that

5 best tracks imho on Lemonade

1. Pray You Catch Me



Some of the lyrics

You can taste the dishonesty
It's all over your breath
As you pass it off so cavalier
But even that's a test
Constantly aware of it all
My lonely ear
Pressed against the walls of your world
Pray to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me listening
I'm praying to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me

Combined with the instrumental...

Her harmonies

Dope record


2. Hold up was dope



The use of the sample was dope to me

Also the lyrics were clever and relatable:

What’s worse, looking jealous or crazy, jealous or crazy? Or like being walked all over lately, walked all over lately, I’d rather be crazy.

3. All Night



Just a beautiful record most of us can relate to. The bridge is lovely. Nice Outkast sample

4. 6 inch heels



Details a woman trying to loose herself in her work and find purpose. The heels are a metaphor for wealth power. Her harmonies on the bridge are lovely, she sounds like a choir... production A1

5. Freedom

Vocals and production A1



Songs all tie together to tell a story about lost, grief and forgiveness

And the fact she does 95 % of the vocal production and vocal arrangements is impressive

Yall give Bey and Jay too much

Artist like Alica Keys, Ciara excelled during Beyonces prime

Even Letoya Luckett had hits and a no 1 album

Keri Houston was able to secure hit songs and albums after dissing Bey and Ciara as well

Exactly. nikkas talk they shyt about Nicki but Bey survived her era pulling that same shyt on a higher scale. She barely even works with any other female artists in her lane. shyt she was cutting even Kelly at the legs everytime she dropped some shyt. To the point Kelly felt a way and allowed her man to abuse her mentally behind it by adding fuel to the fire.
