Beyoncé - Lemonade (Discussion Thread)

[Wiles]

Theme album about Jay z cheating and her digging into her womanhood. It's a cool album my girl said since she dropped this she shoulda dropped Jay. She would be every girls idol, she would really be queen b but now she's effing up by staying with this scab and once a nikka cheats and you accept him he gon do it again. She also said it would create the ultimate buzz.

Naw matter of fact your girl knows better to leave a nikka with 500 mill.

I called this shyt with her last album. For some reason jay became a nikka people hated when they use to love him. Especially after ESOM and WTT. Dude was an elder who was putting out books etc.

But I noticed a sea change with MCHG. I don't know if it was a combination of things like social media becoming omnipresent, the reaction to MCHG, the belafonte and Barney's situation. And then when Beyonce dropped they really treated that admittedly dope album as the second coming. And they used it contrast with Jay. Bey entering her prime, jay washed up. They really trashed his drunk nn love verse which wasn't that big an atrocity to me. So it became, jay is latching onto bey and kanye and since he washed up it was not a good look. Plus they always shyt on nikkaz with r&b chicks. Aretha, Tina, Whitney, rihanna and now jay. Every single one of them been the bad guy. What's really fukked up is Beyonce instead of protecting her husband is actually feedingbhim to these wolves to further her career. Its so brehs. This nikka already got headaches with his brand and she here kicking him when he is down.

How is a retired legend with half a billion in the bank down breh.

Are you acting like Jay-z just got haters in 2013 or that it's the first time a rapper gets called out for saying some stupid shyt like calling Harry Belafonte a boy? Jay has less hate than forever, that he's dropping mediocre music and Beyonce fire has nothing to do with hate, dude is 47 years old, he's focused on building businesses etc.

Jay-z raps about taking bytches to islands, shooting people, various different girls etc. Beyonce sings about a bunch of wild shyt, marries other people in her videos and then you see her instagram or Paparazzi and they're just living a normal rich family lifestyle. People must've heard about entertainment before..

If anything Beyonce has been catching more hate than ever, no one used to hate her but since becoming a more creative artist, being more outspoken and using her art for something more than just winning awards and entertaining people. She has been getting mad hate and criticism.

Jay will fukk up again and get caught.
Bey will leave him.
Years from now, she will admit to Oprah (in another heart-to-heart interview) that suburban daughters of Texan Xerox execs should maybe perhaps possibly NOT marry NYC drug dealers-turned-rappers who have garbage family values. Then they will discuss how on-the-nose this visual album was. "How long after the album's release did you file for divorce?" Oprah will ask while squinting with concern. Note the box of tissues set primly on the coffee table. Picture this shyt shot thru a slightly blurry lens for the sake of sentimentalism.

The accuracy

How is a retired legend with half a billion in the bank down breh.

Not down financially, but they assaulting dudes character. " He can't be trusted, he is insincere, he is an opportunist, he just a dishonest hood nikka made good."

And here come his wife with the confirmation about those character traits.

 

[EnzoG]

Beyonce is going to get people killed with this BS she's preaching from my interpretation she's trying to say "leave your man"

Nothing you said contradicted what I said. It all adds up to a narrative about jay that is not positive. Sure he had regular haters on some jealousy shyt, but the post 2013 hate is of a different stripe.

And beyonce gets the correct type of hate. Cacs mad she had black power imagery at the superbowl shyt that is the type of hate you want in this political atmosphere.

But the part about Beyonce Can Do Better Than Jay is the narrative I seen reach mainstream cultural levels since 2013 and its reached its peak now. Especially since he apparently had side chicks galore, its Fk Jay, we was right to hate this dude. FOH with that shyt. .

Beyonce finessing miserable black women & throwing her child's father under the bus and for what? A couple thousand more album streams? Pathetic.

The baseball bat breaking windows was clearly influenced by this:

Do you honestly feel like every time you post you have to try and give us a history lesson?

My goodness you are insufferable as fukk

i am not a huge beyonce fan but i did like the visuals for this album. it was something different from her. i really liked the end montage when she showed all those couples in love and enjoying each other. i think people should focus on how the story ended, not how it began. relationships are tough. you either move forward or you fall apart.

with that said i take this album as it is. an album influenced by her experiences with her husband and probably the stuff she witnessed between her parents and her close friends. while art has the ability to encourage and inspire people, anybody who takes whatever she said in on this album as a solution to their own relationship problems is crazy AF and probably has always been crazy AF.
