Remember when Beyonce/Alicia Keys was a big debate online?

[Street Knowledge]

On online forums it was everyday in the mid to late 00’s. Then Beyonce dropped her self titled album in 2013 and that was basically that.

Keys is the better songwriter/producer/musician

Beyonce is the better vocalist/performer.

 

[Pazzy]

They both were mediocre with a machine behind them so

[Knucklehead]

One did a huge song with Coli Public Enemy #1 and the other is married to him.

 

[DrexlersFade]

Beyonce is one of the finest woman that ever lived that's all I got.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Both are rich as fukk.

Musician? That broad just plays the piano. It ain’t like she’s a virtuoso or Herbie Hancock.

Beyonce dropped her self titled album in 2013 and that was basically that.

People seemed to be done with Keys after she dropped “Element of Freedom” and especially done when she couldn’t stop performing “Girl on Fire” for what felt like 8 months straight.

Beyonce is a better songwriter considering the last few years

I remember the debates. People still underrate Alicia Keys though. She has classic songs and arguably two classic albums in her debut and sophomore joints. Still one of the most decorated and highest selling artists of her era.

I still remember her being the dream girlfriend. She was fine, but also was like one of the homies. By the third album, it was like she was a different person image wise. No more braids and everything Hip Hop about her seemed to have faded. Her demeanor and everything was different.

An Alicia Keys playlist:

beyonce doesn't write songs. She puts her name in the credits of songs written that are brought to her.

 

[Harry B]

Never really got it, their styles were/are so different

 

[Jasonmask]

Aaliyah and Be yeah but not keys. She’s more mature especially with their debuts
