Im sorry I know people are going kill me and completely disagree with me, but Im just not a fan of Beyonce, people worship her too much. She’s just a regular celebrity. I know you aren’t worshipping her but I see soo many people doing that and I just had to get that off my chest.

Some food for thought on her video. If you are religious, but I think most people on here arent. But anywho take it with a grain of salt if you aren’t religious.





I can point you toward this wonderful button that will change your life.

I get why Beyoncé is private. I do enjoy seeing the babies growing up.

This look I love! 😍 also I always loved this photo shoot

I think everything she does is precise and everything is perfectly balanced like just a visual feast it’s such aesthetic talent tbh, I’m pretty sure she has libra in her chart 😂👌 And the thing about it is the meaning and the history that is consistently referenced like she’s basically a scholar or at least she cares about that representation enough to have it worked into her projects with such finesse. 😍👌

Five planets in Libra plus rising!

She is so classy and beautiful 😍

Oh wow I think I thought it was just venus but that makes sense, plus Virgo for that intricate critical eye, I think I remember her talking about noticing everything in her documentary talking about the Glastonbury performance and I thought well yeah girl with a chart like that! 😂

Her Scorpio moon definitely has some hidden messages all up in there.

So much to look at.

The purple suits and the slowed down remix to Spirit 🔥

I loved that LOOK as well. Her in front of the sheet . Disheveled Glamour

She also understands the importance of watching from every angle .

I wouldn’t be surprised if she secretly spectates in crowds or watches her performance meticulously.

The audience experience is the utmost importance.

I watched all of her old concerts in order and the girl works her butt off. She put in the work and studied

I personally loved it too. Wish there were more things like it. Tbh I feel there will be over the next few years. Whats truly astonishing to me is how many people are offended by it. Those people can simply fuck off imo. It was amazing, and that cannot be denied.


I am also hoping it starts a cultural avalanche.

people are just jealous.

I know because I used to be people.

I couldn’t stand Fakeyonce but after Lemonade, that albums ministered to my heart and soul. I finally got her and understood why I was defensive of her. I was jealous.

I was moved by Black is King. The opening had me tearing up.

The Scar part was so dope. Bikes and Red for passion.

That 💯 sounds like something she’d do. And I do admire that she’s at a point in her career where she is in control, where her artistry can just flow free and I find something vicariously satisfying in that, I mean a woman, a black woman, in the music industry where you know you’ve heard all the dodgy shit that goes on people trying to control your message. And she’s commanding, in control, and totally comfortable there. I mean she’s done amazing it’s so impressive. And I can understand why it means so much to so many people to see this paradigm of excellence represented so clearly and naturally at the top where everything in our culture tells us power is supposed to be something different. Everything about it is just culturally important while feeling like just a natural expression of what everyone can see is stunning and moving.

She so clearly has an artists soul and she has a clear and precise vision it’s awesome tbh 👌

Go Beyoncé

I’m excited for Black men to realize who they are and come home.

Why don’t Black people write their own story without re-telling white writing stories?

No. seriously?

Lion King is a loose retelling of Macbeth. Black people have written loafs of stories. To sleep with anger is a good one based on folklore.

what a trashcan thread

I have a ton of people blocked....and when I seen the thread count going up but no new posts.....I knew someone was acting all kinds of stupid.

It is a damn shame people do not know how to respect or appreciate others.

Amen to this

Such a shame people get off on trolling, being disrespectful etc..👎🏻

Only for one generation. Older gens don't care about lion king and younger ones wonder why millenials are obsessed with that shit

Hamlet. Young Prince exiled himself as the illegitimate son of the King murders his father and takes over the kingdom, and takes his father’s Queen as his own wife. Ouch

EDIT - the brother of the King. Mandela effect. Nevermind me

Sheakspeare's work is rich enough that you can pretend that every story under the sun is a "loose retelling" of something he wrote. This is a form of cultural colonialism from the anglo-saxons.

That’s a good point, his canon is that deep. And what helped make Britain into a soft superpower though that image is diminishing by the day now.

But specifically Simba and Scar are pretty much palette swaps for Hamlet and Claudius. They lifted the main thrust of their story from Willy Shakes

There is no "soft power" without hard power, this is another invention

A visual feast. Really stunning.

Already was my favorite. But My Power and Find Your Way Back are close seconds.

What I liked most about the album was how collaborative it was. Its cool she is using her platform to expose the american audience to relatively unknown artists.

I saw she got a decent amount of critique from people saying she didn't represent Africa accurately or what not. But its not an artists job to educate people on various countries. She took inspiration from these various cultures and reflected it in her art. And she collaborated with people from those various countries and cultures to better represent accurately. Pretty impossible to delve deep into 54 countries in an hour-ish or so.

She said it clearly in Black Parade

"motherland, motherland drip on me" but also "I'm goin' back to the South where my roots ain't watered down". I think that's a reference to her hometown Houston.

Its based loosely off of the story of Sundiata Keita.
