  • It was the best concert of my life, bar none. Idc!    It was extraordinary, it was ineffable.  I knew I loved it based on the videos but I... Hey I don't know.    Best moment

    I know this award is a joke but the point is, she has cemented herself in history with the likes of Whitney and Lauryn. And on top of that she won an award for a genre that completely ridiculed and ex

For sure. DIL must have meant something to her because she put it out twice, and she named the album after it so it must have defined what she felt. Beyoncés always been a true artist who expressed their feelings and their heart at the moment. She doesn't ever need to speak. Her music does all the talking.

 

That's why I find this recent CC album so interesting lyrically.  It's probably the first album where for some reason I can't picture J in these songs. With the last record, I totally got that Heated, POTS, Cuff it, and esp. Virgos Groove were about him.

I actually thought Flamenco, Just for Fun and Bodyguard felt very true to the narratives we know about that relationship

Considering how infamously squeaky clean Beyonce has been both infront of and behind the cameras, I would be absolutely shocked if the Carters were in any way affiliated with the awful allegations that have come out regarding Diddy. That being said, I don't know her. Just love her art. But yeah I'd be really truly shocked. 

 

I do think there is a large contingent of people that just don't like them, and they do have a history with Diddy and Cassie, which will obviously raise eyebrows. But let's just see what happens. There's honestly not much to say at this point other than a lot of people don't like her, and there's a troubling proliferation of dangerous people in powerful circles.

We know there is a 3rd album coming from her latest interview but I'm not so sure anymore it's gonna be rock influenced. We already got plenty of that on CC, psychedelic rock influences on the opener, a Beatles cover, Chuck Berry, Beach Boys, clear inspirations by Tina and Fleetwood Mac. I know the genre boundaries between country, blues, folk and rock are blurry at times and Bey showed exactly that with CC, but what else is left to show about the broad genre rock and its roots? 

What's even more dark-sided about the internet wanting Jay Z/the Carters to be "next" is that a significant part of Diddy's case is his abuse towards Cassie. Ppl hate J+B so much that they're creating imaginary scenarios that would involve Jay being physically violent towards Bey…all bc they want it be a major news story.

 

We complain all the time but **** like this is the EXACT REASON she doesn't talk to us anymore.

I'm supposed to care what this misogynistic psychopath thinks? Morons have roamed the earth since the dawn of man. It's just recently we've had to be subjected to their idiocy en masse because of social media.

 

 

This is his Twitter header.... can't make this **** up

Completely disagree. Ya Ya was a super late addition to the record which logically means it was probably taken from the Act III recordings.

We also have a history of news reports from before even Renaissance dropped that the three genres would be Dance, Country and Rock.

Combine this with the fact that Tina is literally her goat, and the fact that Rock perfectly lines up with the other two genres as black-founded white-adopted art spaces, and it's clear that this will be the direction. 

 

There's a lot more to rock that she could and should explore in Act III. 

 

I also think Ya Ya was added to Cowboy to further ensure all three acts tie in together with eachother. Renaissance talks a lot about rodeo culture. CC's final third is effectively a country renaissance mini album. And Ya Ya hints at further rock exploration.

 

Ya Ya is the most rock 'n' roll we get in the CC tracklist, but sounds nothing like Don't Hurt Yourself, River Deep, I Love Rock n Roll, Sweet Home Alabama, Whole Lotta Love, School's Out, Don't Stop Believin, I Can't Get No Satisfaction, Starman, Gimme Shelter, Rebel Rebel or Born to be Wild.

 

There's SO much to Rock n Roll and she's gonna EAT

What's crazy is people WANT certain things to be true. Without any evidence, they're convinced Jay Z is on Diddy's level of scandal and perversion. They want there to be victims. They want to see a successful black power couple fall. It be the same people who think Bey had Aaliyah off'd for her own gain. It's so psychotic.

The funny thing about all of this is the constant flip flopping. Somehow she's this super illiterate, dumb woman but at the same time also an evil mastermind. She can't write a song to save her life but she can orchestrate decade long crimes. She's a poor grooming victim but at the same time she's also an abusive monster. She's the forgotten flop nobody cares about these days but she's also one of the first people think about when it comes to handling every single problem in the world. Like damn at least pick a narrative and stick to it :rip:

There's not one single report from an official source ever stating anything about rock, that was always fan speculation. And to me there's a lot of ground covered with rock n' roll on Cowboy Carter, not only on Ya Ya.

 

There's a new theory that it might be blues/jazz/soul which would align with her mentioning Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder on GQ and the sax scene on the Verizon ad. It also would give a reason to the fact that no one ever alluded to the sound of act iii, since nobody would need to mention Beyoncé working on blues or soul since she's widely considered an R&B artist.

A classic! It's gotta be this one for me though

 

 

you know... everyone tryna cancel Jay and spreading divorce rumours is more likely to make Bey double down and release Everything Is Love 2 just to prove people wrong :lmao:

They've become so private, I doubt its going to affect anything.

Lol, you better go back and listen babe.

 

Daughter is about her literally beating a ***** down for Jay, this is very likely related to The Met Gala moment. :deadbanana2:

Riverdance is about a lover's affair and her coming to terms with wanting him regardless of his indiscretions.

II Hands II Heaven continue this notion, describing the love as timeless and forever, forgiving all past actions.

Tyrant settles in as she is finally able to stop being mad and think about what the other "vices" offer him so she can steal it and use it to her advantage.

 

Would quote the exact lyrics sections if you want, the highs on this album are insane.

also bodyguard....

Theres one hope I have:

 

I feel like CC feels like an interlude of some sorts. To an extent, releasing both Rennie and CC the way she did aka with minimal effort post launch felt like her truly slowing down A LOT. Given her feelings after Beychella and giving birth to the twins, it makes sense.

The entity and brand Beyonce has moved continously and vehemently ever since starting her career in DC. She was a true work horse, always topping herself.

 

These past 2 eras were and are a VERY subdued Version of what we as Beyonce Stans are familiar with.

 

I do hope, however, that Bey will feel the "thrill" of being a true Pop Diva again after the obvious burnout she experienced. I hope we get to see the last hooray of THE Beyonce, the Pop Diva of our generation. I want her to deliver on all fronts, be everywhere, on last time raise the perception of what a performer can do, a visionary can do, a musician can do. Give us your Confessions World Tour where you Show all the upcoming artists one last time whos BOSS. I truly hope she gives us that once shes ready again and thirsts for it all again. She's got it inside of her, Sasha, while being put to rest, still lives inside of her.

Whenever shes ready, I want her to give us BEYONCE in all its glory one last time.
