[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im not a Beyoncé fan but I do not hate her. I can appreciate that she works hard for her brand. I am however, trying to understand ppl claiming she has an attitude. She rarely speaks. When she does actually speak she’s soft spoken, smiles a lot, and sounds country (which then ppl attribute to her being dumb). It seems ppl are confusing her fan base with her. [/quote]

+1 I don't care for her music anymore, but she's rather inoffensive when it comes to celebrities - no drugs, no affairs, no "leaked" sex tapes, no racist/sexist offensive rants, no nasty outbursts to fans.  It doesn't appear that she slept her way to the top.  So she didn't finish high school - neither did Jennifer Lawrence and people seem unbothered.  All the hate Beyonce gets makes me want to be defensive of her - not like she needs it though. [/quote]

This! I don’t know why (though I have my suspicions) people hold her to a higher standard than every other famous person[/quote]

Nailed it.  And for that PP who said she slept her way to the top by marrying Jay-Z, you are completely wrong.  Beyonce upgraded him.  He was on the Rappers' retirement train when he hooked his latch to her star.  Without Beyonce Jay-Z would still be rapping about the Marcy projects.

I'm not a fan of hers' but I can't knock the hustle  She has crafted an allure that appeals to her fans and haters alike.  She has made astute business decisions that have increased her net worth 100 fold.  And she still reps her home town on the regular.  She hasn't gone all Hollywood or turned into a NYC girl.

Even if you don't like her music, what has she done to make people hate her?  I actually use to hate her, but I realized I was just jealous.[/quote]

I'm a huge Beyonce fan and DC fan from the beginning like 90s and this is dead wrong. I remember when I saw her video of Crazy in love come out as a teen with Jay-z. She has worked extremely hard, but almost all of her work since that song has been with him/about him in some way. I'm not even a huge fan of his, but so much of her career/songs have revolved around him. I'll never forget the day I saw the Crazy in Love video and couldn't believe that's how she launched her career. (complete album about being dangerously in love) Love her though!![/quote]

You may be a fan of Beyonce but clearly not one of Jay-z. When they met he hadnt had a radio hit in some time.  He was breaking up the Roc family  Dirty South rap was on the comeup and lil Wayne was making a name for himself.

She may have focused her music on him. And that's probably because she was in love. But in doing that, she brought him back into the limelight.

They helped each other. She made him legit, brought him mainstream, and he gave her street cred. [/quote]

I guess but I would say if she wasn't with him initially I'm not sure where she'd be today. There is a reason she chose to come out with that song in 2003 and release an album called Dangerously in Love. It's definitely not all for "love". He's also a pretty big producer so even still I'd say being attached to him has helped her a great deal. [/quote]
