[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listening to the album earlier, watching the visual movie now. This is brilliant!

But I don't get the animosity against Rachel Roy, if Jay-Z did have an affair with her. Indicative of a broken moral compass for sure, and there's no excuse with getting involved with a married man. But Jay-Z is the one who made and broke vows of fidelity. The Bee-hive should rage against him, FAR, FAR more than Rachel Roy. [/quote]

Also, if "Becky" is a white girl, how can "Becky with the good hair" allude to Roy? Roy's Indian, not white.[/quote]

Roy is part Indian, part white I think.[/quote]

Who said Becky was white or that good hair alluded to a white woman's hair? [/quote]

Well now it's clear why this thread sucks, it's full of white women speaking on things they have no clue about. "Hip hop trash". Old white women at that.

Carry on. [/quote]

Because skin color dictates who can interpret music. Got it. [/quote]

Every space isn't for you. This wasn't just music, but you can't see that dear privileged one [/quote]

Sorry, my money is green to Beyonce and her music didn't come with warning label turning anyone who was not black away... Please get over yourself. I am just as much female as she is. And she is WAY more privileged than I will EVER be.[/quote]

Lol. No one said you couldn't buy the album. You're absolutely right money erases her black experience in America and means she has more privilege than a white woman :roll: 
The fact that you think this is about being a woman is proof that you don't get it at all.

Huh? I can cite article after article and post after post about how her album is very much about being a woman. May be very much about being a black woman, a scorned woman, a hurt women, etc... but none-the-less about being a WOMAN and what that experience is like. Not sure what you are reading or listening to. [/quote]

Huh. I can't relate to any of it...and I feel sorry for anyone who does.

I think black artists prey on certain segments of the population in an effort to make money---that's why they aspire to write the anthem for the scorned baby mama (that always seeks to empower the victim by highlighting that she has her own money and can get another man) and the funeral anthem. [/quote]

Gross [/quote]

I agree...gross. Also you do know that white women get cheated on too. Just ask Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and Gretchen Wilson who all have similar songs/anthems. You are a racist idiot!!![/quote]

Go compare the lyrics. They take a very different approach. I think it's very sad for any woman to embrace violence...ymmv. With regards to lyrics, I've always found it interesting when female singers try to empower themselves by saying they make their own money, and bought the car the cheating loser was driving...why did you buy a car for a deadbeat guy? And why are you bragging about that? To underscore your poor choice in men? And then they go on to say they can get another man in a minute...okay, so you need a man? It's an interesting look into the subculture.

Taylor just shakes it off.

Country singers are a mixed bag: sometimes they are strong, and other times they resort to violence.

It's all very interesting.

To the left, to the left....

Beyonce sings the same crap. And visual violence is just as bad as violence in lyrics... cause young girls won't see their role models smashing up cars. [/quote]
