Beyonce Sold 618K US/823K World-Wide(Records)

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.

I'm good with it as long as it keeps Miley & the other culture vultures out of the spotlight. I'll grit my teeth through all the Drake/ Kanye songs in the world if it keeps Macklemore off the stage.

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. No one is complaining about Rihanna not helping Janelle Monae's music sell more. Where are you going with this?

I use these examples because these are genuine RnB/SOul artists to the core. In the 90's these singers were going platinum.

You basically summed up my point, Beyonces contemporaries are more in line with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, pop artists. As a whole how beneficial her success is to black music in general is minuscule.

because Beyonce is pop with the occasionaly rNb hits. As for music sales how is that Beyonce's problem? Across the board the game has changed. You aren't going to sell a million like that anymore. People aren't buying albums. They are buying singles. If you have strong singles, people buy the album. Gone are the days where you had to buy an entire album to hear it. I can sample an entire album and make a decision. That's why this move by Yonce' is a big deal.

Genuine RnB is still out here but you've got make the music. John Legend hasn't made a quality song in ages yet he is the defacto house pianist at every MET, Gala, Ball function. Alicia Keys as well. Throw in Esperanza Spalding and Stevie Wonder and you have the most dignified musicians on paper in black music out there. Every Democratic convention, Earth Wind and Fire is pumping up the crowd on the loud speakers. Our music is everywhere breh and it's most definitely still alive.

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.

black self hatred is worse than racism. that was racisms greatest victory.
