10 years ago today, Beyoncé surprise-released her seminal album Lemonade and its accompanying film.
Relaying her personal story of infidelity, interwoven with the history of black women in America, Beyoncé created a masterpiece that
incorporated and reclaimed multiple genres across 12 songs. Featuring artists like Jack White, The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar,
the album became the world's best selling album of 2016 and launched the Formation World Tour, the first ever all-stadium tour by a female artist.

Lemonade received universal critical acclaim, being lauded as Beyoncé's magnum opus to this day and is considered a cultural phenomenon
that sparked widespread discussion of its content and allegories.

Discuss and celebrate this historic album!

And count on me to warn it!

Lemonade and Renaissance are unmatched, both should have won AotY (not CC).

top 2 Bey album, she's that *****

Today marks 10 (TEN! A FULL DECADE!) since Beyoncé dropped her magnificent masterpiece Lemonade, accompanied with a similarly magnificently masterful visual album. The album became the best-selling album of 2016, shook up culture, won a Peabody Award, two GRAMMYs and eight VMAs. With Lemonade, Beyoncé not only fused genres, truly redefining modern pop music. She fused the deeply personal with the urgently political, a risk that paid off. Deservingly so, it's recognized as one of the best albums of all time, for example by Rolling Stone, Consequence, Apple Music and Paste Magazine.

Ten years later, what are your thoughts on this undeniable masterpiece?

My timing being so horrible lol

I still think it's her best (but it's close). Imagining what the streaming numbers might be looking like if it hadn't been held captive on Tidle for years.

Don't Hurt Yourself is still her best song

This classic

If the album was Spotify, the album would've had 3 top 10, at least 1 #1 hit and probably be at 5 billion streams already..

Such a great album from start to finish. The concept, the different genres flowing smoothly, the production, the vocals, the lyrics. Truly one of a kind

Imagine giving aoty to the bland and boring and extremely mediocre 25. Even Adele was shocked

This album had OBHs in a chokehold for some reason. Every gay and girl that collects vinyls and hates Beyonce has this in their collection.

This is the last time she was semi relevant when you truly think about it

What an absolute masterpiece. It truly deserved Album of the Year.

a person that sells out stadiums simply cannot be irrelevant. try again.

One of her best albums

Amazing album

When this dropped, the excitement. People were still questioning if an album was coming

I love this album. I think I'll get it on vinyl.

im sorry but i need to drag adele who the **** thought that boring ass stale album 25 (all i ask is a bawp tho) deserved AOTY over the most impactful culturally relevant album Godonade?!

Don't Hurt Yourself, Pray You Catch Me, Daddy Lessons the tale of a woman going through the 5 stages of grief of adultery with the background of being a black woman in America truly a Peabody award deserving piece of art wHEW Bey did her big one with this!

This is why she'll always be the leader of the 00s popgirls, a true pop legend! I listen to this album and I still pretend All Night and Formation don't exist and are a separate EP of pop songs because I can't stand that she CHOSE to forgive that RAT of a man! Freedom is the final track of lemonade, no I rihfuse! (and after that they put us through The Carters and songs like APESH*T is2g)
