Lyrically not the best but vocally the best and I saw a tiktok of a hundred students screaming the bridge at the top of their lungs like they at a trailer swiffer concert. What vocal stacking was better? What video did she look the best in? I'll wait!

She just needs to get rid of the corny piano on Best Hit 4 Ever Had, replace it with some a cello or lower strings, maybe at the time it gag it down our throats consistently like she does “I Care” and all these tacky baguettes would be praising it.

So when do we admit The Gift is actually the second best album she released? Or are we afraid of the truth?

There's not enough Beyoncé on it to be considered an actual Beyoncé album

The songs that Bey did however kinda eat up her previous projects, dont you agree? Plus its actually 10 (11 if you include the FYWB remix) Beyoncé songs, which can be considered a full album if we're being honest

But she's barely featured on half of those. Idk to me this just feels like a collaborative project that she was a part of. It's hard to properly measure it against her other albums. 

[Carla Rosón]

Y'all need to cut the bs already

 

Without disrespecting them for how good they are, no one of her albums from 4 and backwards compare to the grandeur that are the big 3 (ST, Lems and Ren)

 

And the recent lil cute side projects harbor some of her best songs as well (Summer, Bigger, etc)

Bigger - Bey

FYWB - Bey

Mood4Eva - Bey + Jay (majority Bey)

Water - Bey + Pharell (majority Bey)

BSG - Bey + Wizkid (majority Bey)

Already - Bey + Shatta Wale 

Otherside - Bey

My Power - Bey + all the others

Spirit - Bey

Black Parade - Bey

FYWB Remix - Bey

 

5/11 collabs, 3 of these however predominantly Bey

 

Yes its her most collab-heavy project, but its still mostly solo Bey on her tracks.

Are we still pretending that The Gift is the greatest thing ever happened? Enough.

That could be only if you were allergic to R&B. 

 

So no, it's a flawed take. Both 4 and B'Day are splendid masterpieces. Even taking DC's catalogue into account, TWOTW as well as Destiny Fulfilled were showcasing Bey's outstanding creativity, artistry and genius at their time. 

 

All of those records are just as exquisite as Renaissance imo.

Bigger + Otherside easily rank among her best ballads ever, FYWB, Water and Already are certified bops, BSG has one of her best messages ever, Black Parade is masterfully executed and crafted and a Grammy-awarded song for a reason (not every song has that), My Power is now iconic thanks to Ms Blue. 

I mean, whats there to discredit?

You mean to tell me Start Over can hold a candle against that or the very dated sounding I Miss You? 

 

 

Dont let numbers fool you, Ms Gift is THAT girl

She has like 10 seconds on Water and a shared chorus at the end, and she's basically a feature on songs like My Power. Not to mention some

of these are really short. 
 

Black Parade is a standalone song that she decided to just plaster on the deluxe edition. 

Idk this whole The Gift thing exists in its own separate realm outside of her studio albums for me.

I agree the gift eats up half her albums 

in particular IASF, debut and lemonade srry

 

let’s talk about lemonade actually being upper bottom half of her discog

So 7/11 doesnt belongs to ST, Schoolin Life doesnt belong to 4? WDYLM doesnt belongs to IASF?

 

Inchresting

 

 

Plus Black Parade was included because it basically aligned with the Black is King premiere

[Bicassie]

Renaissance 

B’Day

BEYONCÉ 

4

Black Is King

Lemonade

IASF

DIL

EVERYTHING IS LOVE

 

 

[EDEJtheArtist]

RENAISSANCE 

Lemonade

BEYONCÉ 

B’Day 

4

Dangerously in Love

The Gift 

Everything is Love 

I Am… Sasha Fierce 

[Triton]

Gift eats Lemonade for sure, with its 7-8 songs >>>  depressed monotone dialogue 

 

Bigger, Otherside are some of her greatest ballads. Proper ones she hadn’t delivered in quite a while. Already, Water easy slays. FYWB, BSG, easygoing music which are relatable. 
 

We count B’Days 11 songs as an album so why not the gift. 
 

The sis just has a horrible or genius way of naming albums. The best thing about lemonade is it’s title.

3D art in the scrapped interlude references the shell

the cone bra…

the multiple faces headpiece…

the painting is filled with visuals easter eggs…

 

the rocket she stands on for alien superstar merch…

 

All I know is that given the premises alone this project could easily top, but also surpass Lemonade and Black Is King, already two flawless products 

 

It's going to be worth the wait.

bjöncé is an acquired taste! and I’m That GOD haters should acquire some!

 

tbh I’d love for her to do her own Medúlla type record where it’s built almost entirely on voice. we know she’s a master w harmony, it would be so exciting to hear how far she could push it

She's the only one in the music industry who's talented and gifted enough to serve such an avant-garde record. 

 

She kinda teased something like this with 8 Days Of Christmas, Get Me Bodied, Run The World, Church Girl, etc. 

 

A collabo with a queen like Björk should be compulsory. Besides, I'd like to hear her implent also some Bulgarian choirs/folk singing 

[Draper.]

Imagine an album consisting of light bops with mid lyrics like FYWB, Already, M4E or Water is better than Lemonade. Let’s not.

I don't count 7/11 either no, what a stain that would be on ST 

 

Schoolin' Life is different because it was included (alongside other new tracks) in a rearranged tracklist of the album. Black Parade was just plastered as a bonus track at the end. 
 

Have not listened to IASF in full in years to remember what the situation with WDYLM was nor do I care tbh.

 

But let's say we take The Gift as an EP, I still wouldn't put it above most of her other albums. It's better than Everything In Love though, that's for sure.

[Otter]

Lets not do too much, 6 inch's bridge alone wipes the floor with The Gift. They're so very different I don't really see the need to compare them though. 

I'd say lemonade is a better execution of its concept then what The Gift is of its concept.

Bigger and Otherside, great gowns, beautiful gowns. Could never compete with greatness like Resentment, Listen, 1+1, etc. 

 

BSG and My Power are beautiful and meaningful songs though. I'll give you that. 

 

I forgot that Black Parade has won a Grammy

Luckily 6 Inch was meant for ST, which would have fit in sonically quite beautifully, take that away and one less highlight for Lemon. 
 

Take away Lemons spoken poems, visuals and that critical acclaim would go way down. 
 

But yes Lemon as an overall message gave a bigger punch, people want to hear about drama as opposed to a celebration. 

[benyonce]

Let me add my thoughts on all the hot takes going on in here:

Heated
Virgo's Groove
Thiqué
Cuff it
Alien Superstar
America Has A Problem
Cozy
I'm That Girl
Break My Soul
Move
Energy
Summer Renaissance
Plastic Off The Sofa
Pure/Honey
All Up In Your Mind
Church Girl

Renaissance
The Gift (Otherside, Water, FYWB and Bigger cary this album)
Lemonade
ST 
4
Bday
Dangerously in Love
IASF

Oh and BTINH is amazing and y'all do way too much on this poor song. The amount of times I've screamed that bridge in the shower, I'd hate to admit.

But Bigger and Otherside aren’t dependent on someone else for credibility. Resentment only got popularly when he cheated on her, Listen is a great Vocal but cliche yet effective, 1+1 a pretty love song. 
 

You honestly can’t say BSG and My Power are beautiful and meaningful without including Bigger and Otherside. They’re so universal 

[AxelFox]

There's just no way y'all actually believe anything is better than Virgo's Groove
