Spaghetti is a stellar track, I don't get the hate. It flows so well.

I blame it on Spash**ti. One of the worst things she's ever recorded, added nothing to the record and it's the one everyone seems to be quoting when dragging her/the album  

Spaghetti is fun.  "At the snap of my fingers I'm Thanos" almost single-handedly ruins the entire album, but the song is enjoyable for what it is.

I know base will never want to admit this but it was brought to my attention that Bey has gone from 320 million followers to 312 million followers on ig. That's significant, plus losing followers on TikTok. Her streaming is suffering as well. Hopefully it turns around because she will need a successful era and I hope the tour and act iii are out of this world and the numbers will be strong. 
 

The hate she gets for merely existing is disappointing. Meanwhile Kanye parades his naked wife on red carpets like a sex object and gets to pretend he's Christian and no one bats an eye.  

Someone said a lot of people with mega followings lost followers over the past year due to purging of bots. Additionally, the watermelon mafia did the mass unfollowing of all celebrities so I think she lost 1-2 million max from that. The rest can be deleted accounts due to META boycott, dead people accounts deleted, and old r&b fans under religious psychosis that don't care to see her model pics and advertisements anymore. I only started following her a year ago to get tea but her page is pretty boring. Fanbase accounts are more interesting to keep up with. 
 

This base has said they don't really stan her anymore (which is a lie). But she did lose steam with a lot of people. We used to freak out just seeing her do the most basic things. She's still elusive and exciting but some people broke out of that spell. When she pops up on their feed they probably question the purpose in following her. She won't respond, like comments, go live, or do anything besides advertise looks and sell products.

There's some corny lyrics on Spaghetti, but I like it for what it is.

Not the record that got Linda Martell her Grammy nomination, and gave Shaboozey an exit strategy if Country music tries to dump him or come after him with pitchforks. (I will say... Lil Nas X squandered an opportunity to appear on this album as a trailblazer after talking about Blue Ivy's looks on Twitter. If the structure and lyrics of Spaghetti were kept the same, he probably would've brought that record to a new level replacing Shaboozey and extending that final verse a little bit more.)

I thought about this too but replace Willie Jones with Lil Trash X. He can sing just as deep and the song would have more streams than it does now. 

Spaghetti grew on me...I had it hidden on Spotify for a long time until after Beyonce Bowl

"I ain't in no gang but I got shooters and I bang-bang"

 

 

Spaghetti reminds me of Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged just with a Brazilian Funk beat like it's genius tbh but whatever 

 

The meaning behind Spaghetti is like the centerpiece of the album. She illustrates herself as a wanted outlaw in new territory full of salty plain Jane's who are out to get her. People who use this track specifically to make a point against the album being country are playing into her own hands. As if the Linda Martell bit didn't make it obvious enough. 

now you hate Spaghettii? what happened to fun?

What exactly do you want us to do about it?

Storm the capital obviously. 

 

I'm just not a vibes and denial type of person and like to acknowledge real concerns. 
 

Do you though.

 I'm not worried about her numbers or anything though it really is baffling. The way everything about her is so blown out of proportion when all the woman does is just make her music, put it out and make a public appearence once in a blue moon and even then you barely get a word out of her. It truly feels like her mere existence is too bothersome for some people. 

I'm more concerned if it's intentional anti campaign because even when a certain someone was dating a racist, her followers weren't affected. Also her streams barely budge.

This is what happens when you're Black, political, and create art that exposes and recontexualizes western art, race, gender, and culture. It's frustrating as a fan to witness the hate. But….She chose this life and values the legacy she's creating more than the followers she loses along the way. 

People have been wanting to see Beyoncé get knocked down a peg since DC was able to lose two members, find two more members, then lose one, and still have unwavering drive and success. And as long as Beyoncé doesn't give the haters what they're looking for (which at this point, ppl already wish harm on her and her family, and I totally understand why she gets on stage thanking God for protecting her, the way ppl obsess over blaming her for Jay Z's alleged past crimes, the way they talk about the mental well-being of her children) the hate will only continue to grow.

 

Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Beyoncé is about to go on tour and go viral every night bc of her insane talent. She is also about to release the final act of one of the greatest musical trilogies of all time. Haters are just gonna have to hate, y'all 

the way this album changed the trajectory of her career completely... I can't wait till we get something like this when the trilogy is completed and the visuals are out... she will have to talk to us at least once to celebrate the final project, right? Not that it need any explaining but it would be so interesting to hear her perspective about the whole thing

Idk, she seems intent on only speaking on things via editorial or once in a blue moon IG captions. 
 

ET literally had to ambush her backstage post Grammy acceptance just to get her to say a couple words about her win. 
 

I miss hearing her speak tbh. 

 

anywaysss happy anniversary to formation

The dramatics. If only she'll be ok was a good marketing plan. Y'all said the same thing about tidal and look how that turned out. Do you even still have an account?

Sure, but that doesn't make it good. They could have and should have come up with a better statement piece for that. 
 

I'm sure she had fun recording it but this is just one of those studio sessions that should never see the light of day.

I truly feel like this has become a staple in her discography. It's in her top 10 for me.

more proof that there's definitely a smear campaign going 

 

so now blue is the poster child for nepotism ? cause some ******* recently went and edited the wikipedia page

I mean I like the Brazilian funk influence. There's a few verses that are cringe, but it does get good and feisty the more you dissect the rest of the lyrics. Her rap style/flow is very impressive on it. I couldn't get past the first few verses though. I feel it does ruin it for first time listeners

This is what I keep saying. It's kind of obvious at this point.
