Man shut the fukk up. Adele is making the same music that Celine Dion made in the 90s. No one is selling. This album sold off the hype of the last one. The next one won't do nearly as well. Her second single is not even taking off so she had to stream it.
:mjlol:get out your feelings with nobody sells. go cry a river nikka

the argument was that she is the most successful artist of the past 15 years when that ain't anywhere near true.

eminem was the top selling artist of the whole decade of 2000's and again, adele's numbers will shock you.

we're on the internet, look it up :win:
Success is more than just record sales. Beyonce's longevity and relevance is unparalleled. No one has been talked about in this way for this long. Beyonce is damn near a decade older than the people she is being compared to.

Prince sold nowhere near what MJ sold, is it ridiculous to compare them? Your entire existence to talk down on black female artists is corny.

I swear some of y'all crab in a barrel ass nikkas would complain if Jesus and Muhammad walked the earth preaching black lives matter, talking about "they just trying to ride the wave" :martin:


Here is a Black Woman, the MOST successful artists of the past 15 years, saluting black excellence, championing her love for black features and representing black achievement, and it's a BAD thing :what: fukk outta here with that borderline c00nish bullshyt and defeatist mentality :camby:



these two are killing beyonce in career album sales (started the same time beyonce did with destiny's child):

Gold & Platinum - RIAA (<<<Straight from the RIAA, they're lying?)

now if you cats wanna get all off into what she sold in XYZ weather, over in bolivia, australia, during the world series, have at it...but at the end of the day, as a solo artist, her career sales are nowhere near these two, and they all started around the same time.

and this is 2016...we're clearly in the Adele era...but keep thinking that beyonce is the greatest selling artist of all time when no chart says this anywhere on planet earth :sas2:

He said BLACK! You bringing up Britney and Eminem as if they're anywhere near relevant as Beyonce has been the last 15 years and to this very day.

Stop trolling and appreciate her greatness!

ain't this what a parent suppose to do? nikkas act surprised for the dumbest shyt...because it comes from a celeb...

When JB said say it loud I'm black and I'm proud, shouldn't blacks feel that way automatically?

Unfortunately the people that was dogging her baby's hair, didn't think so.

It was in response to all the people who were getting at her for not "doing" her daughter's hair. There were 10,000 signatures complaining about it. shyt was weird and then people wonder why celebs are weirdos. Kanye just says what they're all thinking.

Beyonce has arguably the most loyal musical fan base of any artist in the history of music - gay men and corporate black women. she'll always have a career, i've said this on here before as well...even in this song talking about "I SLAY" this shyt clearly isn't for us (straight black men)...

but what we measure ALL artists greatness by, is their cultural impact musically, sales and classic albums - stevie wonder doesn't have the sales either but he recorded three albums in a row and ALL of them won album of the year, two of them back to back - that's unheard of. they still play those songs in commercials and movie trailers to this day...

beyonce' ain't doing that, and especially now, she's not even doing as well as katy perry and damn sure ain't seeing taylor swift (look it up!).

she's overrated. if that pisses you off that ain't my fukking problem. :win:

:mjlol: no he didn't you dumbass.
"Here is a Black Woman, the MOST successful artists of the past 15 years,"

^^^^^^ that little thing in between the word WOMAN and THE is called a comma:

Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause. 4. Do not use commas to set off essential elements of the sentence, such as clauses beginning with that (relative clauses). That clauses after nouns are always essential.

Not to be a hater or anything, but sometimes I feel Beyonce tries to capitalize off of social movements. I remember a while back in Vogue or maybe Elle Magazine , she said racism was a thing of her parents generation. I don't know if she's changed or what. I don't know if she's doing an Azelia Banks or what.

But, I'll expect people to catch an aneurysm because I'm questioning Beyonce's motive in embracing her black roots and "empowering" us.

I guess I still see her as soulless, she doesn't have the genuineness of artists like Sam Cook, Pac, Nina Simone, etc

Something's just fake, opportunistic about her

But that's my opinion

yall would hate her if she didn't speak about these issues

You would do the same if your child was roasted by the public for his/her features, no?
