STOP MAKING THANKSGIVING DINNERS OUT OF CRUMBS!!!! This shyt is trash, and I don't have to pretend to like this garbage!!! The fukk is wrong with some of y'all?!!?!? Beyonce isn't even black she's crayola!!! FOH!!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"
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 thingfukk outta here with that borderline c00nish bullshyt and defeatist mentality
hold up now fam...
She's in the conversation. Whose been more successful than her the last 15 years? She's had some serious longevity. Been in the game since the late 90s.
Exactly Kitty kat on B' day too she flowed. Been doing that.

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

I thought it was pretty much known that music sonically stimulates the brain.

Cool video, I almost had to watch it on mute because it was a little cringe in the beginning.
I'm all for black excellence and black empowerment but when it's delivered in what
feels like a mediocre package, I'm left wondering if it was worth sliding into
the emperor's new clothes.

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.
It's funny that people will criticize Beyonce for making songs like this. Katy Perry, Miley, etc. make turn-up songs and people don't say "they have to do that type of music to stay on". Both of them are white and still only sell a fraction of what Adele does sales wise.
Beyonce makes these types of songs because she understands it will create conversations and get people talking. If she dropped a soulful ballad, she'd still have people saying she makes soul-less music, but it wouldn't receive a fraction of the views. Beyonce breaks through cultures and genders because she's built a name for herself that allows her to do so. She can perform at Presidential Inagurations and a Superbowl. Can't say the same for Adele.
