Some of you are truly hateful.

Clearly you don't know the difference between being hateful and having good taste.

Clearly, you're not in a place to tell anyone what is in good taste, and never will be.

Obsessed much over the twerker? Lol

Klassy tastes, PP - Klassy

Just watched Homecoming, thought it was a Tour de Force. That woman can put on a SHOW. You may not like her lyrics, I don’t love them all myself, but I thought Lemonade was brilliant, especially her inclusion of the poems by the young Somali woman. I really enjoyed the Netflix movie. 45 year old white lady here

As an anti-poverty advocate, I think it's a big part of the problem.

I think it's a shame Beyoncé and Jay haven't used their tremendous platform to effect social change. Think about the impact they could have if they did a PR campaign aimed at teaching black tweens and teens that it's cool to NOT have babies until you're 30 and have seen the world/lived your life/had an adventure and settled down...like they did. Better yet: tell everyone to at a minimum graduate from high school.

that's what your understanding is of Beyonce's lyrics and popular culture?

I’m more concerned that is PP’s understanding of the black community.

I’m an African American woman and have always considered Beyonce and Jay Z as trash. Their music is junk, soglad my teens never cared about their music. Beehive trash.

What DO your teens listen to?

Some of her lyrics are clever, fun, empowering, and inspiring. Many of her lyrics are superficial or junky (how many times can you repeat “I slay” in one song? ) I did like Homecoming, especially when they were rehearsing and when she was talking about her vision for the project and all the participants. And Lemonade is great!

This is coming from someone who listened to the City Girls album on repeat at the gym the past two weeks. I have no problem with crass/raunchy music but for Beyonce to perform her nastiest songs while pretending it represents Black Excellence is so absurd and I think ultimately degrading to all the talented people she had involved.

To think of the hundreds of hours the drill team, marching band musicians, steppers worked to develop their skills, probably requiring much sacrifice from their family/teachers/school, to end up performing for Beyonce who sings about "cigars on ice" and riding Jay Z like a surfboard is just....sad.

Beyonce's lyrics appeal to the animal instincts of people, the so-called lizard brain. If spiders or frogs could understand language, they would have been able to relate to Beyonce's songs.

She was anti-police brutality, but okay keep your head in the sand.

She can be both anti-police brutality and anti-police at the same time, and she certainly is both.

Here is a direct quote from an interview she did for Elle magazine.
“Anyone who perceives my message as antipolice is completely mistaken. I have so much admiration and respect for officers and the families of officers who sacrifice themselves to keep us safe,” Beyoncé said. “But let’s be clear: I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things.”

When you think about how much money Beyonce and her scummy husband has, then think of a homeless vet on the street, it's enough to make you sick. What a country we live in.

Do you live in a house in or near DC? Do you drive a car? Do you have more than one car? Do you go on vacation? Are you poor or homeless?

I was confused when Partition wasn't about India and Pakistan. I had thought that Beyonce had become internationally woke.

I feel like that whenever I see any person with more than a few million.
