Honestly, good question! 
 

• I believe we know some much about a concept for RENI visuals because the lyricism of certain songs. "ALIEN SUPERSTAR" is pretty self explanatory, but the ideas of what the song could mean to the overall visual storyline is endless. "AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM" & "ALL UP IN YOUR MIND" also tells a specific story in the music that leads to more visually, and "SUMMER RENAISSANCE" is such a anthemic climax. These things live within CC as well (YAYA, AMERICAN REQUIEM, 16 CARRIAGES, DAUGHTER, AMEN) and are so on the nose, but I feels as though they're so heavily reliant on being within the realm of country, I don't necessarily see the vision. 

• Whether before or after RENI, I think it's imperative to see the world where COWBOY & RENI exists enough to work in & out of each other. They can both be so heavy into House, Hip Hop, Folk, Country, Pop, Neo Soul,  Rock & Roll, and of course R&B, but still share quite a few similarities, especially the last quarter of COWBOY. 
 

• Because of the times we live in now, where music is consumed for less of an artistic experience on a daily basis, the visuals would've allowed COWBOY the chance to have the longevity RENI experience. Though all we saw were glimpses, photos and clips into the world of ECHOVILLE, the music carried the idea of what is to come in a way COWBOY can't. Not to mention she cared more (to be sloppy enough) to release a preview of the visuals and photos to piece together your idea of what the visuals would be. 
 

• She wouldn't have to even release visuals for COWBOY. To me, I would be interested in a live performance of each song than a video for each song. Some songs on the album don't carry that much lyrically enough to visualize the end game.

Yes and deleted it 

This is just an idea, but it wouldve been cool if each act had its own different type of visual. 

 

act i: shot as a traditional film i.e. Lemonade/The Gift

act ii: recorded like a musical, moving set pieces

act iii: live concert that is livestreamed

 

then it ends with dates for the world tour. 

The problem with the visuals is the same problem the MCU is facing. When you have pre-filmed interconnected storylines which are planned years in advance, if anything changes or gets received badly later on down the line it requires significant retooling than had she been filming when the project was ongoing. What she has now is a film no streamer wants to buy, with a storyline that might not make sense to an audience who have consumed the acts in a different order, and without visuals for production tweaks and entire brand new songs. We have no idea how many versions the visuals have gone through already or how many there might be by the time we eventually see them. 

The thing about it is the GP will be really excited when the visuals eventually come out. No Visuals from Bey in years who is known for visuals will have the GP happy tbh

 

 

I mean they could at least credit her on the title of the video

Caring about commercial performance is not black and white. You can expect to go platinum and have a cute top five hot 100 hit and not be thirsty for bombastic success. 
 

She doesn't want to flop, duh, but she doesn't care if she has multiple weeks atop the BB200, or multiple songs at the top of the hot 100 IF IT MEANS SHE HAS TO GET UP AND WORK FOR IT.

 

Do ya'll think she is actually mad that CC is not double platinum? Or that Most Wanted flopped?  No. She is saying it did what it did and I'm done. 
 

Ya'll stay misreading sis. Is it denial?

Girl they're not even excited about the main thing, the audio… it's a pretty picture and nice to dream but the GP could care less. Nobody is waiting for 3+ hours of footage in the Tik tock age and dedicate their own time to it. 
 

 

Films are flopping, you have 6 seconds to make a message and captivate the audience before they flip through. But a queen moves at her own pace so now we're seeing the consequences of that. Outdated ass auntie is what she is now.

idk why they're even panicking - if it's street dated in their system, it can't be sold even if it's out on the floor. like the register will literally not allow you (hence the team member message on the touchscreen). when I worked there for a few years, I would occasionally have stuff like this happen when I was up at the front lanes and I'd have to tell guests that the system wont allow it. what happens is that the product is then moved off the sales floor and backstocked until the sale date. this is how those clothing collaborations there work too - we'd get them early and have to keep them in the back until the launch date, but every now and then someone who didn't know any better might accidentally take one out to the floor. 
 

this is also why I giggle when people talk worriedly about new albums being set out early - you'd have to actually steal it if it's something with a release date
 

besides, as you mentioned, this album is literally already out so who ******* cares if someone put the vinyl out early. it's not like it's a leak
