Dionne Warwick not convinced that Beyonce is a classic or iconic artist with a classic catalogue

[#1 pick]

You're wrong bruh, Janet Jackson has two iconic classic landmark albums in Control & Rhythm Nation 1814 lol y'all don't know shyt about music outside of "hits" .

Control to this day is the goat female pop album with something to remember from Madonna.

You are being myopic.

Your point is valid but all of this is subjective and through the individuals lens. My mom doesn’t think that Confessions or Vodoo are classics. Because that’s not her era. Those are classics to certain people that respect those artist relative to time and perspective.

You guys are looney to hold up your beliefs of what’s classic yet dismiss an artist as big as Beyoncé when there are plenty of people that feel her music is classic status. Confessions is not universally considered a classic outside of its genre.

Confessions is a classic. Delete your account if you think otherwise

Destiny child’s catalogue is more iconic than Beyoncé’s....

I remember when Jay-Z said Nas had one hot album before Stillmatic. He was right, be real, Beyonce never had no banging albums. She just a elite performing Flo rida.

She's right. I've been saying this for years. It's sad because Beyonce has a voice that should have spawned multiple classics. Hit singles are not classics. If they are then you all need to let Drake in the top 5 discussion.

Drake got some classic albums tho. Beyonce don't but she has classic songs. Single ladies is a classic, its not my cup of tea but it do something to a lot of people. I respect Beyonce. The best female performer of all time. She is a ATG

You've seen grown men with Madonna albums in their collection?

My momma had something to remember. That shyt was dope but Babyface wrote it and everything Babyface touched was ATG shyt

I agree with her. She doesn't even have a straight black man fan base. You see nyggas admire her talent and say "yeah she's a great performer," but how many of you nyggas even listen to her shyt?

Her music is like, how could a guy even enjoy this?

Brandy has a better discography than Beyonce but never gets her dues. We been listening to them same brandy songs for over 20 years now...but she wasn't hot in the social media age of music so she didn't create a 'standom' -- Beyonce blew up right along with social media and greater 'Entertainment Television' with more sophisticated music marketing which we can't ignore. Same with Usher...he at least has a classic album (two IMO) but then Chris Brown and these other nasal singers came along and suddenly, Usher doesn't have a 'classic' album or songs?

I'm not going to discredit her, but I personally find a lot of her songs juvenile and without real meaning, even to Beyonce; I think there are a lot of people with way more classic albums in the same genre who don't even get mentioned just because they don't have the 'fan power'

Brandy had some classics before she music turned into trash.

Props to Bey. Her music never sucked, its like Drake, its consistently good for what she does

There are a lot of women that don't like Bey music. My wife is one of them.

I had several Beyonce albums but i had DJ unk album too. I listen to anyone but horrorcore, devil music, Lil Uzi and Marlyin Manson. She don't have any classic albums even for his type of genre. Her best album to me was Dangerously In Love. Too many fillers between the hits. Honestly, Brandy first album was a classic for the genre.

Beyonce has always been a pop artist and for pop artists, hits are everything. Beyonce just happens to be like Hammer, James Brown and MJ and is an elite performer too. She has it all. Looks, performance, swag, hits and consistency. Shes a goat but still no classic albums.

Compared to other legends, she is bereft of billboard hits:

MJ: 13 #1 Hits, 30 Top 10 Hits
Rihanna: 14 #1 Hits, 31 Top 10 Hits
Mariah: 18 #1 Hits, 28 Top 10 Hits
Whitney: 11 #1 Hits, 23 Top 10 Hits
Madonna: 12 #1 Hits, 28 Top 10 Hits

Beyonce: 6 #1 Hits, 18 Top 10 Hits


Rihanna been in the game for 14 years and got 14 #1 hits. Beyonce got 6 in 16.....6 hits in 16 years? shyt, jay can divide and interpret that average for her.
