Successful PR strategy. Let's not forget by only releasing it on Itunes they removed any possibility of it getting pirated.
Whoever came up with the strategy behind this deserves a medal
I don't know how anybody can be mad about this.
At some point we need to collectively circle the wagons and rep our few remaining Black musicians with a major following. If we don't support them we shouldn't complain when all the Hip Hop and R&B award shows get dominated by YT folks making Black music. We're still the trendsetters. Use that power to lift up Black musicians instead of knocking them off.

Also she dumped 17 videos out all at once. Most artists release 3 videos slowly over the course of months. The whole single driven album strategy got tossed in the bushes. Us as fans are basically choosing which "singles" we individually like.
Well I mean she did announce what the two lead singles are for top 40 and urban...but this entire thing is just
That is true in theory. But in reality these black artists, especially Beyonce and Jay-Z wish nothing more than to cater to the Anna Wintours of the world. Look at Kanyes wish to get in to the european fashion scene.

I don't know how you conflate Bey and Jay to Kanye's "struggle"...And Anna Wintour doesn't buy music.
Her influence is minimal to whether people buy albums or not.

I'm talking about her dropping an album out of the blue.
The best period of Black music is when black people made music for us, even if it did get mainstream attention later on.
Beyonce's success, isn't going to help Erykah Badu or Jill Scott sell more. But i think slowly it is ushering back genuine RnB into the mainstream, which is can only be a good thing.

Breh you are comparing Yonce' to Erykah Badu and Jill Scott when they are two different artists. While their audiences merge, Beyonce isn't responsible for the quality of Badu's or Jill Scott's music. Quite frankly Badu doesn't have to make another album. She can tour off the strength of Baduizm with ease. Jilly will always have a place at festivals like Essence. We take care of our RnB ladies. Mary J will always have a home. We still begging for Lauryn Hill to come back. If you making good music we don't forget and we don't ignore.
No one is complaining about Rihanna not helping Janelle Monae's
music sell more. Where are you going with this?
