I was banned (2x) from posting!

 

All because I was commenting on the reviews of Taylor Swift's poem album.

 

 

 

This site is going off rails with this hardcore moderation. We need some fun in here, this is not UKMIX.

She should honestly just retired after Act III, she doesn't have the passion for this anymore and in our fast paced environment now even the BEST of music gets left behind when ignored.

 

Disrespecting these eras is starting to turn me off as a 20+ year fan.

Y'all crazy. I get that you want her to do more, but you stan MUSIC ROYALTY. She's bigger than all of that. Getting music on a semi-regular basis is the best thing that can happen to you. 
 

And I know what i'm talking about because I stan Rihanna.

Fans like you are the worst examples......Do you think anyone of beyonce peers has the passion and drive to deliver a masterpiece like COWBOY CARTER? You don't think it takes insane passion, intention and work ethic to make and produce that album? 

 

So because she isn't a "POP STAR" like you want her to be, she should quit and go sit in a corner?

 

Please go stan taylor swift and the other "POP STARS" who do the POP STAR things you want beyonce to do. 

 

As long as she continues to make (which she will) brilliant projects like CC, or Renaissance, she can do that till she is 80 years old or whenever she wants to. She works on her own terms and does what makes her happy....you don't like it, go focus on someone else.

It took over 6 years we know, some songs are from 2019. And what is the POINT OF releasing the best work of your career if NO ONE HEARS IT. SHe started a massive conversation and that is appreciated, we've already seen the people associated with the album have some incredible life changing success and exposure. Names have entered our psyche and Shaboozi's solo song is about to go top 5 on Hot 100 next week. That is amazing, but this music, like formation, is the most impressive in her discog and she once again is going to ignore it and treat is secondary to things like Cecred and Ivy Park.

I agree completely, but honestly, its been like that since Lemonade to an extent.

Its just that we've been constantly living in HOPE that something would eventually happen, but reality has set in now. We get an album and a lead, and after the drop of the album, the era is done.

Thats our reality.

Well I survived my swift attack a couple days ago. I fully expected a b@n. I had over 20 dislikes on multiple comments in the charts thread. Just play by the rules and don't get too personal!

This. Here we are on what is essentially a celebrity news and gossip forum with hardly any news and gossip to discuss. Beyoncé drops music, we discuss for 2 weeks and in that sense, we're back in the trenches.

 

We need to "face the music"

I'd much rather conspire about what celebs secretly hate Beyoncé vs dreadful retirement talk and ass kissing positive hive trying to validate her album abandoment.

Yes king!!!! 

I mean truth be told: Bey is doing EXACTLY what she set out to do and wants to do - to use her platform and status as a means of service. She wants to push conversations (which she successfully does with each release), she wants to broaden the concept of what a popstar can do (which she successfully does) and she wants to erase stigma and institutionalized racism towards black musicians (which she successfully does).

 

I am 100% convinced that Bey is smiling from one ear to the ear seeing Shaboozeys rise. That must feel so incredibly validating to her, so much more validating than her own success because it means she serves as a catalyst of change.

To put it bluntly: Taylor can sell millions and generate billions of streams which are all incredible individual feats to her career, but when Beyonce becomes the reason Black Country artists are seeing huge success in a white-dominated genre that has been gatekeeping black musicians, that literally trumps all of Taylor's achievements.

 

THAT is legacy.

And with Shaboozey going #1 soon, labels are going to be even hungrier.

No....PEOPLE have heard it and love it. Step outside for a second. Those that want to know about the music know about it....those that do not want to know about it don't know about it. Please if the music isn't enough for you, simply go stan someone else. It is really that easy. But saying she should quit is highly insulting to her passion as a musical artist. 

I don't like talking about the "R" word when it comes to Beyoncé but if she does that after act iii, I hope she's SCREAMING on this rock album. Go out with a mfing bang!!!!

 

But I don't think she will. We still jazz, a cappella, classical and gospel from her. I don't think she's even close to done. At least I hope not 

 

Not to be that person but Shaboozey's song already went viral on TikTok when he posted the snippet of it before he was ever announced to be on Cowboy Carter. It had about 15K videos pre-release. And it's not like his songs on Cowboy Carter were standout moments/popular tracks where he got an audience (outside of Twitter Hive thirsting).
 

So yeah it does feel kinda wrong in my opinion to credit his success right now to Bey. Of course, I've seen he himself post about being thankful to her so that's his prerogative (her call months ago asking him to be on the album probably inspired him as an artist and pushed him to keep going etc.), but this specific song was definitely going to be big whether or not he was on the album.

 

Question

 

Which is the better 7-track run?

 

I'm That Girl-Church Girl or Ya Ya-Sweet Honey Buckiin'???

CC absolutely helped launched his song. 15K videos on tik tok for a pre release is literally nothing. Ive seen countless popular songs on tik tok (mostly from indie artists) that goes no where once released.

It's not solely because of her but his name was in the spotlight because of her when he released. That is a fact.

He was just very smart with the timing of his release + the right song as it is a very good song. She just made it easier for him.
