Beyonce's lyrics are disgusting

This makes no sense. Her music and style have gotten dramatically more intellectual and artistic over the years.
She may not be everyone’s cup of tea but she’s probably the most talented solo artist we’ve ever seen. She’s like Whitney but she can dance and her music is deeper. She’s like Janet or Madonna but she can sing. She’s the whole package. I only ever listened to a few of her songs but when Lemonade came out it blew my mind. I didn’t know she had this side to her and I’m grateful she’s sharing it with the world.
As an aside, I think her songs about sex are funny, sexy, and totally relatable. Anyone who is clutching their pearls is probably dead inside.

To the parents upset that she's not being a good role model, how about YOU be a role model to the children you brought into this world, instead of expecting a stranger to do it for you.


I'm assuming you don't have kids. Peer influences and media count for a lot as kids get older.






“I always felt like it was my responsibility to be aware of kids and their parents. I felt like it stifled me and I always felt in a sense I could not express everything. At this point I feel I’ve earned the right to be me and express any and every side of myself. “

Does she write her own lyrics? I didn't think she does.

OP here.

Let me take a moment to REITERATE my point to all of y'all with severe reading comprehension issues.

I like Beyonce. I have probably heard every song she and DC have released. I even jammed out to the DC song she did back with Silkk the Shocker ( waaaay back in the day - yes, I'm a OLDER person lol). They played that on BET only when Destiny's Child were still suffering in obscurity. I still have my The Writing's on the Wall and B'Day CDs.

So I do not begrudge Beyonce her more salicious material at all. I know her songs. I probably know all the lyrics. I have danced to Freekum Dress more times than I can count.

My ISSUE with her is that she created a musical event to bring awareness and recognition to HBCUs. It's a laudable goal. A respectable one. She stated that HBCUs were important to her and her family. Same with me. I identified with her sentiment and once I heard about her documentary, I was excited. I wanted to share it with my daughter who will be looking into colleges in the future.

I was ALSO thrilled that an AA woman was directing and writing the docufilm.

So when we got the popcorn, settled in to watch, and I couldn't help but be shocked when she sang THOSE songs. Chose to use the N word and say "bitch" repeatedy, when she has DOZENs if not HUNDREDS of other songs she had written (or could have written) that have positive and empowering messages of hope and pride.

I didn't even share how shocked I was when she came out in the latex S&M outfit that looked straight out of a PORNO.

So that's it. My final statement on this. I like Beyonce but expected better. Hopefully her future Netflix films are better.

*Mic drop*

Did she really say that? Who in her family attended an HBCU? Certainly not her, since she didn't even graduate from high school (and it shows).

“So many people who are culturally aware and intellectually sound are graduates of historically black colleges and universities, including my father,” Beyoncé says in the film. (Matthew Knowles attended Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee.) “There is something incredibly important about the HBCU experience that must be celebrated and protected.”

And while Beyoncé didn’t go to college herself — though she says that she "always dreamed of going to an HBCU"— she brought college to Coachella by paying homage to the nine Black Greek Letter organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the rich history of HBCUs. She even belted out her rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is often referred to as the "black national anthem."

You are so angry, bitter and joyless. You should work on that.

I’m assuming you blame everything other than your parenting for how your children turn out.

I'm with you.


You both are so clueless and ridiculous.

Pot meet kettle...Netflix has ratings on its shows. Learn to read.

Reviews said it wasn’t appropriate for children. Be a better parent in the future and research what you plop your child in front of.

Amen to the two posts above. I wonder if it's the same lazy parent, but probably not.

Ah, so you don't have kids. Mine are still young, but I'm not naive enough to think that our parenting alone will determine their trajectory. Other inputs matter too.
