WESTSIDEWhat picture is clear?
Jay makes it seem like he cares more about his own success than that of his people overall.
At least to me.

what character of the lion king is the blue painted man supposed to represent
Aug 1, 2020This s*** would have been dope as a musical telling its tale. I just don't f*** with the music on this album unfortunately.
Aug 1, 2020This is a bad fan edit. Not in the movie
The scene with the pink outfit actually has a very deep meaning but you obvi dont care, so I’ll spare you.
Aug 2, 2020Mr MotionThin line between paying homage and appropriation from all the discussions I've witnessed. You could phrase an argument that Beyonce's deal with Disney comes with the exploitation, and homogenization of African culture.
Me personally, I'm 50/50 with it. As 1st gen Nigerian-American, I see it as a weird in a sense of the homogenization. Shes presenting many different cultures as if it's all one thing, when all these cultures vary from ethnicity to ethnicity, tribe to tribe etc. Then the business side, rather than just using African artist for the Lion King soundtrack, it had to have a major artist like Beyonce attached to it, in order to give it validity. At times what she does comes across as pandering and performative to me.
On the flip side of all of this, it grants Africa positive exposure. Beyonce is one of the biggest artist of our time, so anything attached to her name is going to have many eyes on it. Which in turn could bring forth new investments on the continent with this massive show case. She worked with many African artist (primarily all from West Africa tho) on the album. This again grants these artist increased exposure which is good, hopefully births new opportunities for them. Then the actual people on the continent who are aware of this I'm sure the majority of them are happy to see Beyonce in someway showcasing aspects of their culture that they can identify with.
now maybe if noname said something like this
