how is she changing her style exactly ??? u mean maturing, or feeling more comfortable to talk about jay-z nuttin on her dress.... i mean honestly she's always been extremely sexual, u just arent used 2 her being as less subtle about it, but at this point in her career she has 2 do something because her last album "4" was not buzzworthy enough, it was obvious the good girl image was getting stale and boring. she's had a baby since than and is at a point in her life where she is doing what she wants, which is reflecting in her music. A bytch that makes songs like "bills, bills, bills" "say my name" "bug-a-boo" "bootylicious" was NEVER a role model 2 begin with. She's from ratchet ass houston for God's sake, its your fault for falling for her good girl image when its always been obvious shes just a normal hood bytch wit extreme looks/talent

actually all the songs u mentioned werent bad songs for young girls and had no x rated lyrics.
so whats your point?
a role model is one who act the way a role model should. prior to this x rated ratchet shyt shes been doing the past year, she wasnt x rated and trying to be raw. thats not who she is.
SON, she didnt even write her lyrics. do u get that?
how is she maturing or feeling comfortable if shes reciting words written for her.
and trust that bytch is on molly now. thats why shes comfy to read and do this shyt. and her dad dont run that ass nomore.
but at least her dad knew the difference btwn ratchet slutty and classy sexy. jay z manages her now.
maybe hes pimping her for extra dominance. either way beyonce sold out.

and her extreme looks are fake. nose job. wig. skin lightener.
come on now. her talent is singing. shes not even a musician who can play an instrument other than her voice.
being a singer does not make u a musician. u need to be able to make numerous songs with your fingers. beyonce cant.
alicia keys is a musician and singer, even though she uses a lot of classical samples in her songs, she creates with her fingers and voice.
beyonce is only a singer.
and a singer who has clout and influence in the world who just became the older rihanna.
funny cuz both had jay
both are on drugs.

you sound heartbroken.

 

[aRoMaN21]

you sound heartbroken.

no. i actually taught children who looked up to her when she went solo.
and even then she was doing her sex money thing. but it was pg 13 shyt son.
wtf is this x rated shyt?
im glad i have no daughters who grew up and/or are growing up stanning beyonce.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

That's pretty impressive. Whoever had the idea to release her album this way was smart. She used word of mouth and the surprise release to get free promo. That's genius. I still don't like how vulgar her songs are so I won't be contributing to her sales.

You post in a Hip Hop forum but Beyonce is too Vulgar?

"Beyonce’s self-titled surprise release, which hit iTunes exclusively on Thursday evening (9 p.m. PT), has now sold over 430,000 units in just over one day, guaranteeing it the top slot on the Billboard 200 once that chart’s top 10 is revealed mid-week.
As reported yesterday, “Beyonce” shifted slightly over 80,000 in the three hours from 9 p.m. PT to midnight on Thursday evening, putting her Friday sales at roughly 350,000. With two more days left in the sales tracking week, the title could sell over 600,000 before the buzzer sounds.

The iTunes exclusive “visual” album, retailing for $15.99 contains 14 tracks- not available for a la carte purchases until Dec. 20- and 14 accompanying videos, along with other bonus video content. No set date has been announced for the CD release to physical retailers or of its availability on other digital download sites.

At 430,000, “Beyonce” is already set to become the biggest debuting album by a female artist since Taylor Swift sold an astounding 1.2 million copies of “Red” in the week corresponding to Billboard 200 chart dated Nov 10, 2012. And if predictions in the 600,000 range hold, the set would grant Beyonce the best debut week- and best sales week period- of her career. Her 2006 album “B’day” started with 541,000 in September 2006."

No physical albums to be sold till December 20th

This is only selling through iTunes. Haven't even hit Amazon or other retail stores yet. No CDs either. This is insane

it doesnt matter if the songs i mentioned had x-rated lyrics, lets look at the subject matter:
"pay my bills" lets teach young girls to get men for all the money they can, and if they cant pay your bills dont talk to them
"bug-a-boo" lets teach young girls that any man who calls you more than once a day is annoying and beneath your pedastal
"bootylicious" lets talk about how my butt is really big and i know u want to fukk me but u cant have none

but as soon as she starts singing about giving head to jay-z, suddenly "WHOA, WHERES THE ROLE MODEL????" bro, aint shyt changed.... and the saddest part, all of her new lyrics are still subliminal to the point little girls wouldnt have a clue, beside the part where shes like "lemme lay my ass on you". Its the same phase hanna montana and all them went thru, AINT NOBODY NEVA WAS NO ROLE MODEL, yall just PAINTED her that way. And when girls run the world came out, EVERYBODY was calling it garbage, so why would she feel the need 2 continue that route ??? like many have pointed out, u sound mostly heartbroken like finding out a girl u wanted 2 wife was really a rat all along lmao

Edit: I do agree shes taking Molly tho, I just saw her down here in St. Louis on Saturday and she was actin wierd

 

[MiC]

This half white half Arab chick is still here attacking Beyoncé?

 

[swerve]

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.

Even if that was true so what?

You have to remember that the Anna Wintours of this world do not only decide what people should wear, they set trends. Fashion and Music is connected deeply and if Vogue make an article about Beyonce all these fashionistas will look at it and give her props. A PR stunt like this on top of that and you are set. Plus if the Music you releasing is easily digested all the fashionistas and white girls will eat it up and buy it.

these numbers could be misleading. everyone said she sold 425 thousand copies on the first day but the nytimes quoted an insider for album sales and said it sold 365, 000, which is still amazing. people might be let down with the final number not cause it isnt impressive just that they are over selling it. whatever though on sales, its great fkin album. i hope it has legs cause thats the most important part,

And now you ask to use my car
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week

Now you've been maxing out my card
Gave me bad credit, buying me gifts with my own ends
Haven't paid the first bill
But instead you're heading to the mall
Going on shopping sprees perpetrating
Telling your friends that you be balling

Bootylicious was about celebrating a woman's curves. BugaBoo was obviously about a thirsty stalker. Come on now.
