when is this "universally" released? there's no fancy Tidal 'round these parts, partn'r! cityboyz!

To be fair, I think I got the gist of most of it even with Snide's posts being wiped.

its on itunes and amazon now i believe
also obviously its on the web to d/l
also also holy fuck just finished listening and wow this rules
never really paid much attention to beyonce and i did not think she was such a badass

The Pitchfork review for this is like a scrapped TMZ article.



But at least it doesn't bring up race for no reason.

Without agreeing with many of your conclusions, your introduction was spot-fucking-on.



"To critique it is to critique the causes it stands for, the lives it seemingly lends value. This is the trouble with political albums in our modern political climate--they invite discussion, but silence criticism. "



Kudos for giving this a shot. This was a mammoth task.

Lol.



Also I'd say race is a pretty important aspect of Beyonce's most recent music, isn't it?

it definitely is, but im not surprised ppl are trying to tiptoe around it

@Cl0ver Yeah I saw that, god I love The Onion

good thing you have that /s there otherwise i wouldve thought you were being serious

"DAE HATE ALL THESE BLACK PEOPLE BEING PROUD OF THEIR RACE /s"

Shut the fuck up


Also she's always had a few race-related songs, this isn't all that much more political than her average work when there's like 3 or 4 songs that are legitimately and blatantly about race, the rest could be seen as that if you twist their meanings enough but otherwise
