This is random but I saw a clip on twitter of Timothee smoking a cigarette and just flicking ash off the platform? What the hell kind of manners 

The most overrated man on earth, I’m not surprised that twink has zero decorum

can i ask some of the more long term stans something... from my perspective, there was such a huge change in Bey's musical output beginning from self titled. like, her previous albums were great, she's not put out a bad one her whole career, but self titled really established her not only as a musician but as a visionary, the jump in quality was so insane that i almost consider it her debut album tbh, and her albums afterwards have kept this bar of quality and even expanded on it.

 

going from an album like Sasha Fierce to self titled is just crazy to me, so my question is what led there? did she gain more creative freedom or soemthing?

I truly think the change started with '4'.  She really took over creative control after her dad embezzled money, and she started managing herself and must've felt that commercial appeal wasn't the priority anymore. 

 

Moving from '4' to ST, she dealt with terrible leaks from her label, and REALLY took charge, which I think totally changed her mindset

In case anyone wanted to see the clip in question: 

 

 

Don't people sit below this spot too? He needs his ass beat 

Timothee gets it from his parents and that's all I can say

ST is really ten years old like shut the **** up

Kind of crazy to think about. Time flew

 

It didn't feel like Dangerously In Love was only 10 years old back when ST came out, it felt older 

 

But maybe cuz I was a kid 10 years ago

Right?! As I get older I realize that the 2000s felt like it was 3x longer than it actually was, yes because I was young but also because it was so erratic culturally

As much as I love this was a star studded event I’m also irked she didn’t announce anything. Instead of talking about this we could be talking about new dates, music or visuals.

 

Everyone may be right it’s not coming.  

I've been paying a lot more attention to Bey since I saw her on the tour and something I didn't know about her until I read further, and something I think she's therefore pretty underrated for, is that she's probably one of the best record producers of our time. Listening to her talk about the way she arranges tracks and reading her collaborators talk about how she takes parts of many different people's contributions and pieces them together into songs like a jigsaw puzzle is so awesome. Sure you end up with stacked credits at the end but that's kinda whatever, having that dedication to your craft and being able to direct a crew of so many people and take the best parts of all of their work and piecing it into such cohesive and singular bodies of work is impressive and not something she gets praised enough for.

It's not that kind of doctor's office but if it were I'd just play Heaven and like XO maybe

 

when I’m in hospice in like 70 years and suddenly hear “heaven couldn’t wait for you” echoing out in the hallway

 

Self Titled was so wild when it released, the "WHERES THE ALBUM?" movement... then suddenly my sister texts me at work saying the album is out with all the videos. I left work 30 minutes earlier than I was supposed to (I was also going to her chicago date the day after). I was up all night listening and watching, then spent all day in the cold queuing to be front row... I believe Chicago was also having an artic freeze at the time 

 

So she invited hair influencers but didn’t give them anything to actually influence? 

LMAO should have stayed his ass home

It’s a mess. Just because it’s club kid inspired doesn’t make it as good as some people say. Now I hope she wears that body chain again but with something more revealing

Thanks for this post! Not a lot of people give her the proper recognition for this. She has an amazing ear.

This is why I find it laughable when people on here and elsewhere act like she just waltzes into the studio and records a track without contributing. Being a producer doesn't mean you're on the soundboard (although I'm sure she contributes there, too) but that you're executing the overall vision of the song. Anyone with any knowledge of her career can see the through-line from the beginning of her career to now, despite what producers and songwriters she's worked with. There's one commonality and it's her.

Oop thoughts?

That birthday show has such a feeling of magic through out. Every video I have watched, there is a sense of big love that Beyoncé is projecting and the audience was reciprocating it right back. The addition of Diana Ross really acted as the candle on the cake to celebrate Beyoncé. Like there are always those vital posts on her bday each year and it’s cute but this years felt especially beautiful bc in a sense we all got to celebrate it with her. I love this woman so much

This is an important point that unfortunately a lot of people don't understand on this website, it's kinda puzzling how people can dedicate their entire day towards talking about musicians but don't know what some of the key roles in making music are. You can produce an entire record front to back without touching a single instrument or piece of equipment. Although a lot of producers are musically capable, at the bones of it it's mostly about finding the correct musicians and writers to execute on the creative vision and managing that process to get a finished product like you said.

I won’t lie, that account posts things that often feel like a reach. Beyoncés only known connection or reference to that number is her age so this kinda seems unlikely IMO. 
 

I do believe there are probably many references to classic movies. I wouldn’t be surprised much how REN is sample heavy that the visuals are also reference heavy. For something coming so late(if ever) after the albums release, it certainly would drive interest to have some recognizable references to generate some interest, though not entirely necessary either.
