Besides its glowing reviews on metacritic, what sources do you have to support that Lemonade was directly inspired by Kendrick's artistic direction?

she had started dabbling deeper into social justice in her music/art as December 2013

after personally helping kick off a day of protests with Trayvon Martin's mother in summer of 2013

Yeah, it’s crazy that Beyonce went to back for black women at the cost of her career. Even with Lemonade having the famous Malcolm X quote, “The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman.” After that, I realized that Lemonade may be To Pimp a Butterfly for black women.

Yet Lemonade goes further than these sorts of side references. Much like rapper Kendrick Lamar did on his landmark album To Pimp a Butterfly, Beyoncé proclaims her ethnicity with refreshing gusto, offering a raw stance on who she is and where she's from, beyond the hit songs and albums for which we already know her.

Lmaoooo at that trash ass RTJ song

nigga are you serious. Ural, one of the staffers from mf Hiphop dx drew a weak parallel from one Malcolm X quote concerning black women (and Beyonce's black feminism peaked in 2014, she had several classes concerning her feminism as it pertains to black women during that time) to Kendrick's TPAB and you cite that as her artistic direction being inspired by his album. the same with a one-liner similarity in theme from the vox article.

it's funny how you only find this link on hiphop based/centric websites where they can only talk/analyze pop music when being compared under the lense of a male hiphop counterpart.
It's almost like you typed in the keywords "beyonce lemonade kendrick to pimp a butterfly" in google and hit search.. Matter fact that's exactly what you did seeing as how your two 'sources' are the ones that come up. then you skimmed the article until you could find some vague link between the two (the same one could find a similarity in theme/tone if they searched Lil Nas X and Frank Ocean together) .. you're so f***ing lazy, bro lmao

no smooth criminal

Kiss music video is great, but Prince has so many other better music videos. Also how the f*** are Remember the Time and Thriller not in the top 20 but Billie Jean is?

How tf is Michael Jackson not in the top 5?

Why is this thread acting like This Is America is being ranked as a song instead of for the video ?

Do I think it should be ranked over MJ? no . But idk why people are acting like the video isn't really great
