Why is Beyonce's Lemonade so acclaimed? I never see discussion of it on the music forums or in twitter or in person with music loving friends, but places like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone have it as the greatest album of 2016 and the of 21st century, respectively. For the latter, Kid A is the 2nd greatest, and I have a suspicion that that is the real Rolling Stone choice. What's driving this? Who likes Beyonce like that?
>>131630387Jay-Z coughed up BIG money in 2016 to make the entertainment industry turn Beyonce into this demigod figure who cannot be criticized and can only recieve rapturous, universal acclaim. It saved his marriage and his life.Unrelated note, Jay-Z is the main financial benefactor of BLACKED and is connected to sex trafficking, The Carters are also basically slavedrivers and treat their employees horribly.
>>131630411>Jay-Z is the main financial benefactor of BLACKEDexplain
her best track was crazy in love when she was shaking her ass, i have no further comment
>>131630429He funds the entire thing, Greg Lansky does all the work like dealing with the sex trafficking underworld people and the production.
>>131630411it really does seem like that. And that whole thing with the grammys, I still don't understand why winning a Grammy is seen as this huge accomplishment, as a 60s music fan, outside of Sgt Peppers, none of the long lasting albums won many Grammys.
>>131630489His values are purely materialistic so he zeroes in on press, accolades, promotion and just stacks the money on making Beyoncé this perfectly constructed cash cow. It was a genius move, turning her into a product and we all know who's behind it.
>>131630445I call bullshit on that
>>131630387Her previous s/t is way better and probably her only really good album. That’s a thing about some of these ridiculously over acclaimed DEI albums. They’re usually from artists that have done better work and genuinely are incredibly talented. Marvin Gaye really was a great artist, but what’s going on is nowhere near his best album let alone the best album of all time.
>>131630671It's nuts, I looked through the list and saw that they completely ignored Black Messiah, while putting voodoo up in the top 10. I remember a time when Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was the greatest album of all time according to them. I do think What's Going On is his best work, what do you think his best album is?
She sings like someone who knows the taste of baby fleshI remember on her tour documentary they included a clip of her arguing with the LD for literally no reason. And it’s framed as her being super involved with the production. She’s just a dumbass cunt who was handed everything. Never made a good tune. Jay-Z sucked every rich Jews cock to become the king of New York. What the fuck did Beyoncé do other than bring her stank attitude? Fucking bitch
>>131630489Arcade Fire won a Grammy and their career took a nosedive afterwards
>>131630761What's fascinating about Arcade Fires descent is that the first nosedive was intentional, trying to alienate their fanbase with Reflektor. The SECOND nosedive was completely unintentional with Win getting cancelled and the descent was way steeper than the first.
really laughable how now they're calling her one of the BEST MUSICIANS OF ALL TIME. like words mean nothing anymore. i know it's just ragebait on their part but it's just stupid and rolling stone should be above that and they're not.
>>131630677I think either Let’s Get It On or Hear, My Dear. But I think ALL the albums he released after What’s Going On and before he died are at least a little better than What’s Going On, which was the start, rather than the culmination, of his great run.
>>131630411Why would jay z fund blacked when he's married to a black woman? Kanye would make more sense because he said he was a fan and met with lansky
if lemonade was by some rock band or an old boomer white guy this wouldn't get any notice at all. but its a black woman so of course its the greatest thing ever. she's got a great ass but if we're ignoring her ass and focusing on her albums, songs and music she fucking sucks and that's the truth.
Jay Zed, as we pronounce his name in Canada, killed my boy Prodigy!
she's supposedly such a great singer on these later albums that are so acclaimed she hardly sings on them. she grunts, raps and talk-sings but rarely actually sings like she used to. and that was all she was good at before. she's not a writer. her lyrics are fucking horrible but she doesn't even write them its these other retards. she doesn't write or play music or play any instruments. she can sing when she wants to and shake her big fat ass. and that makes her one of the giants of music according to these half-wit hack writers at rolling stone and pitchfork and the new york times.
she also outright steals songs. and steals credit. she puts her name first on all her songs despite doing nothing. she shouldn't even get a writing credit. in the old days she wouldn't. and her biggest hit is a sample (Crazy in Love). a lot of her other hits are sampled too. some genius artist she is eh
Casey and Badger were hilarious in the second episode. It was sad when Jay got shot in the neck thoughbeit.
>>131630928that was charlie kirk. easy mistake i guess
she can't even sing a love song without making it clear she's singing it about that gross sack of shit Jay Z. which takes the listener out of the song immediately. it's repellent. and nauseating imagery. "our beautiful bodies" (drunk in love) really? that fat piece of shit jay z does not have a beautiful body lmaojust gross lyrics. most of her songs are about having sex with one of the ugliest men in the world.
Why does her daughter look like that? It's been a few years so I don't remember the details but I'm sure we all looked like kids when we were 12.
>you now remember that this exists
>>131631143her less heavy-handed albums are better
>>131630387>places like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone have it as the greatest album of 2016 and the of 21st centuryummm they're not racist in case you haven't noticed
i liked beyonce in 2003, not much after that, and didn't like her when she became omnipresent
>>131630823Yeah. Performer, entertainer, even singer would be possible (I strongly disagree thoughbeit). But to my knowledge she is not a musician at all.
i can kinda relate to people who have $1 million. i don't relate much to people who have more than something around $10 million for whatever reason
>>131630411>Jay-Z coughed up BIG money in 2016 to make the entertainment industry turn Beyonce into this demigod figurenah, this is just what the industry does. whether tv/movies or music they pick a black and then push them to the moon. look at oprah, wil smith or lauryn hill
>>131631633(continued) if you say that this is my problem, i'll say you're right, and i didn't say it wasn't
