Should of just kept it at country and folk songs, the country hip hop/dance fusions didnt land well
This except for riverdance
IMO if it was sequenced something like this and just these songs this would be renaissance level aka masterpiece

My wife loves it, but shes texan and a beyonce stan, wasn't for me tho, but I'm excited for Act 3
album sounded like homework on US history
Damn near the entire album is jsut emotional and personal and stories
It's a classic in her discography
You guys are still gonna be listening to it in ten years
the music just wasn’t good enough to justify her taking up the rifle for the sake of a genocidal empire.
Whole thing was super manufactured and jarring, even to those without political consciousness

did u go to the concert
i felt way different about the album post concert
did u go to the concert
Yeah, it was amazing as expected. I'm just not a country nigga at all so the themes didnt hit for me
The album is decent. A little bloated and scattershot in some places but I think it's generally a good project
Definitely not fully country Bey, a full tape of DADDY LESSONS/16 CARRIAGES/ALLIGATOR TEARS/LEVI'S JEANS, (yeah I know) tier songs would've been real nice
This guy gets it
bro, I'm not going to explain to you the concepts of ambiguity and ironized symbolism, she literally buries the idea of traditional american ideals in the very first song... how old are you, 12?
Her Buffalo soldier merch dont really help your case crodie
And it f***ing got AOTY what the f*** do you mean where did it go wrong you niggas really lack so much self awareness bro
Waitamin waitamin waitamin waitamin waitamin waitamin
You spent the last few months arguing over how insert artist here artistry supersedes insert artist here artistry because he stopped caring about awards like Grammies because they was just industry/white validation.
Now you saying cowboy carter is valid BECAUSE it won a grammy?
Which one is it goretex? Is it oochie wally or one mic?

Basketball terms: Are we rating it by stats or by the eye test?
If I still cared about the grammies I could make a very compelling another album coulda won aoty that year (but i havent watched a grammy show since like ‘13 i think.)

Fire fit and I genuinely f*** with what Bey was trying to say with this era
It's like our thing at this point, it started with me surprising her with tickets to the One the Run tour with Hov, and we just been going to every Beyonce concert since
I honestly dont trust anyone's opinion on music in general if they've never seen Beyonce in person

You better keep it consistent when Kendrick wins for GNX

It’s like bro you said where did she go wrong when the only thing that’s wrong is that you ain’t like da album I’m literally just saying like outside of your opinion the album had insane cultural impact was critically acclaimed had the best tour of the year and won AOTY. The only thing that went wrong is you didn’t like it. Let’s rephrase things buddy

I was never giving it a chance soon as I heard it was country
