    I'm black. And you already said "i got it" - so there's not much to discuss.
    We can all see what demographics she always tries to appeal to: white gays (renaissance), then white country fans (cowboy), white women (self titled and sasha fierce)

    Again, this is all subjective. I like her music, but her and Jay-Z have always craved white approval, which is evident in their music, aesthetics and business moves. They use their race like an accessory.

    I don't buy this internet-era "unapologetically black" brand they're trying to sell. If you buy into it, good for you.

    I can tell you didn’t go to the concert and are just talking out of your f***ing ass.

    The majority of the crowd at the concert and who the album appealed to was BLACK gays since the album was dedicated to her uncle and had a heavy focus on ballroom, voguing, and she even had a whole 30 minute segment of the show for her BLACK dancers, and BLACK backup singers that she found brought together and created a group for, to showcase their talents while she sat back and watched.

    The country album was literally designed to showcase the roots that country music has from black people. She literally did it to piss off white people literally listen to blackbird off that country album you think was to appeal to white people.

    There is no brand they are trying to sell. She has literally been standing on black pride for over a decade now. Yes, they love money, but if you think it’s some big ploy then you’re just being willfully ignorant and pushing aside ALL that she has done to showcase African American talent in all walks of life.

    Niggas let the internet form their opinions instead of taking time to watch the hours of documentary footage and read the multiple interviews from her and people she’s worked with that emphasize her viewpoints and love for her people

    They sound normal. It's pop music. The whole point is you don't need to invest in it. It should be immediately obvious when you hear the 3 minute song that gets stuck in your head.

    Beyonce is something else

    You're caught up in the cult of personality, which is fine, she's a star. But not being that isn't "weird" or "invalid" lol

    My entire comment pointed to specific aspects that were outside of her with a mention of her here and there but you’re choosing to focus on a mind frame I wasn’t even in?

    You can not like Beyonce the person, as many do, but to ignore her efforts to showcase black talent and history in her last 3 albums is just dumb.

    I support many black artists, especially at the local level, and also recognize the efforts of those with a larger platform to showcase said talents.

    My black band teacher friend and his HBCU band were literally personally invited by Beyonce to perform at Beychella. I don’t get why supporting Beyonce takes away from supporting black artists or why recognizing her efforts to showcase such talent makes me a “cult of personality”

    Sounds like you just don’t like her and are using that feeling on your reasonings

    I didn't say a negative word against her or you lol

    I was defending the idea of pop music being a safe space for casual listenership if you so choose. And you said Beyonce is black history or something
