ScorpiosGroove Posted June 19 Posted June 19 17 minutes ago, Draper. said: Honestly, for me she was doing fine up until now because Self Titled, Lemonade and Renaissance are great albums and they feel like they were an integral part of the pop culture of their times. I personally don't consider Cowboy Carter to be that great and pretty much no one remembers it came out this year. i disagree on CC not being that great but yeah it's obviously pretty much forgotten already (tbf that can be said about every album released this year, not a single one really stuck but that's another convo i guess). what i find concerning is her not caring that her own diehard fans aren't interested in her latest album 2 weeks in… how is that not a major alarm going off ? auntie said ring the alarm and we've BEEN ringing it for years yet things only get worse… and i don't wanna hear no "well we listen to the music we bought we don't have to stream" cause looking at how fast those vinyls sell, y'all are clearly not buying either and before the "her legacy is cemented she doesn't have to care" brigade storms in : no it's not and the sooner you (and bey) realize that, the better. your legacy doesn't stay intact when your music has no longevity, your back catalogue isn't being consumed and 90% of your performances, visuals etc are either being hidden behind paywalls or straight up nonexistent while you sit around at home. cockblocking your own fans for a decade straight can not and will not end well either, i hope maison Park comes to that realization soon. good luck with the shampoo tho 10 1
Lose My Breath Posted June 19 Posted June 19 The problem with really genre bending, and in a slight way alienating your fanbase is that you will have to promote, you need performances. The only taste the majority of people got with the album was Texas Hold 'Em, which is one of the weakest tracks. Most people have no idea what they're missing, and it's really sad, because the album is really great. She isn't giving it the attention it deserves. 6
Rafael Posted June 19 Posted June 19 It's soooo sad seeing Lemonade back to being in the pits of streaming like that. It could be heading towards Homecoming/The Gift territory really soon while 4 takes its spot as the classic in the 400K-600K region. Tip tip tip on Spotify floors... 0s 0s 0s across the board... Still love her though 1

Burn Posted June 19 Posted June 19 It's interesting how on Drake's 'For All The Dogs' released half a year before CC he has these radio station type of interludes performed by Snoop Dogg, like the Willie Nelson ones on CC. It's similar to how because of writing Heated he had insight into the direction Bey was going in for Renaissance, and he used it to his advantage to do the same thing but to release his album before she did. Although he didn't work on CC I don't doubt that he knew from the grapevine what Bey was working on. Or it could just be that both of them took inspiration from 'Dawn FM'.
king_queen Posted June 19 Posted June 19 We don't talk about it much but Just For Fun is yet another potential HIT on this album that got away BEYONCÉ DO SOMETHING PLEASE!!!! And while I'm complaining, EIL is the WORST thing Beyoncé has even done to her career. Who tf just RUINS media reverence she had right after Beychella by releasing some ghetto **** like this GURL BYE Take me back to the days where Jay Z was giving interviews saying they would never drop a collab album bc "what they have is real". Can somebody find that interview? I bet TG would've performed way better commercially if EIL never came out 1 1 1 4

Frank Ocean did it in 2012, Janelle did it in 2013, Vince Staples did it in 2018, Dua Lipa did it in 2020. Snoop Dogg did it too. It's been extensively used by rock bands and indie artists too.

No big single push = CC is a flop panned album that nobody likes and the material is horrendous. Yet if she had pushed a second single (Bodyguard) and had success everyone would say it's better than Renaissance This is exactly how I imagined it playing out too lol. I remember a similar narrative being pushed about the Rena era until 'Cuff It' blew up. Some of the fonts here were calling 'Break My Soul' a fluke #1 and that Rena would be divisive among the hive because it's dance music. I think I even heard the "it's too long" rhetoric a few times too now, all of the sudden all of ATRL loves the album and some would say it's her best/their favorite album of hers.

They legit only recorded it over the course of a couple of weeks to push the flopping tour that she only did to help Jay fulfill his Live Nation contract. When you're frantically recording an album in a makeshift studio in a stadium in the midst of your tour you know you ****** up 2

I remember being in Europe when it first dropped and it making no noise only to come back to America and realize, woah, no one (fans included) wants this new Beyoncé project. I went to Chicago night 1 for the OTR2 tour and she didn't perform Summer but she performed it for night 2. I lowkey still have a grudge against her for that alone
