  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

Proper would mean an original song + video too though...

No shade to BOOTS but Bey has clearly dumped him (amicably). He knows as much about her upcoming work as you or I. :pig:

And why did you quote with this? He is clearly saying HE did not work on this album, and in his opinion he does not think it will be acoustic. He is voicing his opinion just like anyone else :redface:

Right now he is currently having a meltdown on Twitter over Hive :rip: His tweets this past year mentioning Bey are always tragically reminiscing on the past, with desperate hopes of working with her again. Funny, cuz a couple years ago he actually shaded her on Twitter over Lemonade :rip: Bey has dropped him, and he has NO IDEA what's happening at Parkwood...

Hence here he says:

 

"Seems plausible". In his opinion he doesn't think Bey would ever do acoustic, but thinks a joint album is def something she would do. He has ZERO tea :deadbanana4:

Because it supported your argument that they're not working together? :skull: Obviously...

And I think MrLovett was agreeing with you. 

We better not get a joint album. We are fans of Beyoncé not Sonny and Cher. I don’t mind him being on the song but keep things separate.

Yes. There was more but he was basically shading saying ST was him just "giving away his own songs for her to simply record". He ultimately ended up on Lemonade as a co-producer for 6 Inch, but I wonder if that song is from ST sessions.

If anything joint is coming out, it should be Destiny's Child, not Bonnie & Clyde...

That's a bit disappointing and yesterday I was thinking Boots and The Dream are the ones who seem really loyal to her. 

 

Although to his credit, I don't think he meant the first one as shade more like he doesn't want to give something he has created to other artists anymore. At least I hope so.

I'm not here for a DC album, but I'd LOVE Solange + Bey for a 8 song project after she's done with the three acts.

She can collaborate with Jay but keep him in the background.. he snapped on Alien Superstar and Break My Soul. “Unicorn is the Uniform” and “You say you outside” are all him. 

Guys, I'd love to re-visit Formation World Tour tonight but since that hoe didn't release a proper recording...

 

Do you have "any fan-made DVD" that you'd recommend or anything like that?

Absolutely want the DC reunion. But the Mathew ownership feels like it won't be an easy angle for a while. 

 

Outside of that, I'd love for act 3 to be her take on Ed Sheeran's No 6. Collabs project. Basically a Beyonce collab album. Would (theoretically) do wonders for her SPS if she goes all out with all the collabs we've wanted (Bruno, Rih, etc). But a part of me thinks she's too "boutique" an artist to be that "obvious" with her streaming play.

Does anyone see Beyoncé ever recreating one of her album covers for an anniversary like Usher and Mariah have?

 

I would love to see her recreate the DIL album cover next year for its 20th. I think she'd look great.

I don't see her doing it again since we already kinda got it

I'd put money on Jay's only contribution for AS being "I'm one of one" - she's just quoting his old lyrics.

Boots is overrated & got cocky following ST era...i'm glad Bey dumped him. no producer should get comfortable thinking they're a Quincy Jones figure in her career and she needs them to curate an album. even the way the Hive carried on begging & pleading that he'd be on future projects was embarrassing. the fact that he's even joined this conversation & is engaging with the Hive like this is giving clout chaser.

The tea is… for over a decade since ST. The marriage has benefited Jay z more than Beyonce

^ 6 Inch was originally from ST, but I think he also made some other contributions to Lemonade.

Just found Boots' current Twitter thread. :dancehall: Are we sure those tweets above are him? If so, those tweets might not even be about B, and can also easily explain why he turned down Madonna, Mariah & others, who would probably want to water down his sound or have him ghostwrite.

To be honest, I would love to see them work together in the future. 

(He also did a great job with the Crazy In Love remix & Dreams. Didn't he have a hand in curating the first 50 Shades of Grey Soundtrack?)

 

I would have loved to see him maintain the humility we saw at the beginning of his career when he was plucked from relative obscurity, but I'm sure it gets to your head when Madonna, Mariah, and some of the other pop girls requested music from him post-ST and he turned them down. It's a balancing act to take on new business but make sure you don't get lost in the sauce + your sound begins to match everyone else in the room. 

 

To make matters worse, the hive is weird sometimes on Twitter. When buzz is made with no concrete facts, the blogs will take the unfounded claims for the attention. I think people forget that the goal has moved away from accurate information, and moved towards being the talk of social media for the day: good, bad, or indifferent as long as those impressions are growing.

 

Edit: the list supposedly includes Madonna, Mariah, Ariana, Britney, Nicki, Christina, Demi, Frank Ocean, and Kid Ink. 

Since y'all like to tussle a little bit, It looks like they took directly from tweets (also linked) that further explain his thinking.
