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

[Malik]

I didn't know the exact numbers for either Unapologetic or 4. Wiki had them both at or around 3 million. Again, what was mature and grown about her last album that isn't grown and mature about this one? Last album had "Dance 4 You" and "Countdown". She's still a wife and mother and those subjects are still prevalent throughout the album. As if wives and mothers don't get Monica Lewinski'd in the backseat.

So Beyonce ain't doing nothing different this time? She always been this raunchy and explicit huh?

Bey has had a lot of sounds for her albums, her taking a new approach is nothing new, and between her being more open in general and out from under her dad, I don't see the problem. Chick been had songs like t-shirt, speechless, be with you, Kitty kat, ego, etc....why are people selectively acting like she's never touched sex?

What's raunchy about it? It's sex between two married people. She's a married woman and she now feels comfortable sharing intimate details about her and her husband's relationship.

It's not different, because she's been saying these things since she's been married. Listen to "Ego". Even further than that, watch the video to "Deja Vu".

Talking about sex =/= Talking about sex explicitly.

I don't really care why she's doing it. My point is that she's doing it.

She biting Rihanna swag when she acted like she was above the raunchy, in your face, sex stuff before. Yall can quote me and get the last point. It's cool. I'm going back to reading my book :cacbarry:

Laying so closely I feel your skin rubbing and touching me Only sweat between us Feeling you kissing and pleasing me I rub your back I kiss your neck I know that you love when we touch like that I can feel you need me Feels so good to me Feels so good to me

lyrics from speechless on her first solo album, seems to be explicitly talking about sex

And if being raunchy is solely a Rihanna thing, then I guess women like Adina Howard, groups like total and mokenstef must all be biters. Let's be honest, all these pop/r&b acts (keri hilson, ciara, justin timberlake, trey songz, chris brown) are way explicit now, it's not a Rihanna thing, it's a generational thing

LOL @ biting Rihanna's swag. Do you know how many artists have sang songs with "raunchy, in-your-face, sex stuff"? You're acting like Rihanna pioneered a sexual revolution in music. That's definitely not the case. There's songs that make Beyonce's "Partition" and any one of Rihanna's sexual songs sound at home on a Disney soundtrack. Beyonce's been doing songs that were sexual before Rihanna.

Exactly. In the 90's we had Adina Howard. There's also Missy Elliott who had R&B records that were sexually explicit.

soooo we are now arguing over one that's jay-z's wife vs. one that is jay-z's artist?

 

[Foxmulder]

Do something others have been doing for years and act like you're original brehs :cacbarry:

Bey tried to go the "grown" and "mature" route with "4".........ended up being her lowest selling album yet. Her team noticed that Rihanna's last two albums outsold hers and all of sudden Bey gets raunchy and sexual. Okay Bey.

She's just like her husband the camel.When they sales start dropping they do all type of stunts to sell records.
