Freedom of speech baby..
You're not even african so you can have THE only answer.

People change.
She's always, kind of, played on these themes. It would be fair to question how genuine it all is being that it's now at the forefront of what she does, compared to 12 years ago, but it's still not new for her.
Uh oh
I did question how genuine beyonce was initially tho
I mean "End of Time" and " Grown Woman" was years ago
What does she even have to gain?
Wouldn't it just be easier and more profitable to make radio friendly shit, easily digestible for whites and blacks?
lol
Eh, i mean, she's always gonna have her career in mind when she's making career moves :dead:
so what? She's helping a lot of Artists/Designers at the same time, so everyone involved is winning and it's also inspiring a lot of people. Where's the negative here?
Reported your video
🤣 Nah she's not
She can do whatever she want.
Scum faggot
If she were to shuffle around in a blonde wig singing about being French & Creole they'd be tryna drag her.
She's actually giving back to the culture in so many ways.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I've definitely felt like she is capitalizing on this big "pro black" movement of the time by making it the theme of her music so to speak but idk if I believe she's not genuine.

so what specifically makes you look at her moves through the scope of "capitalizing" rather than using her platform to amplify voices and struggles?
kkskskskskskkskskskdkdkdkkxkx
There's nothing to gain or capitalize off of
There's nothing trendy or IN about Africa
:dead:
And being Pro- anything for a mainstream artist means potentially pissing off the girls that don't feel included

She was Latina too, didn't she make a whole album in another language
Even if it isn't genuine, I'm glad she took her time and actually researched a bit.
You can tell she went into the project with eyes wide open and was respectful. Even the producers of the lil country segments say she was eager to learn about the different cultures and what makes them unique to each other
Yea it's whatever. She's black at the end a da day, and the mess uplifts people. But she doesn't have everyone saying she's the best performer ever by not being....performative.

not an answer to my question with all due respect
I guess Steevy is more talking about the goal of penetrating the African market as he is telling it might become one of the biggest music markets in the future due to streaming.
Obviously, if she wanted to have safe hits right now she would not choose this music direction. And as people said, she incorporated African influence into her music (in small doses but still) in the past.
@ Steevy. As a French guy, I really like your Youtube videos ! They have been very informative to me and I like your sense of humor. Keep it up !

hdjdjd they said she watched "Beyonce" and "Ciara" :gorlonfire:
Well the director of Black Is King (and the other African artists/dancers she worked with) seem appreciative and have nothing but nice things to say so...
QuoteBeyoncé is obviously the common denominator connecting all those different strands. How was it collaborating with her in terms of her imparting her vision, but then giving you the space to go and pursue yours?
It was a really great experience just to have the support from her in terms of resources and the attention it was going to be given because there's so much great work that is made out there that doesn't really get distribution. And another thing was just how respectful she was. I wish all directors and producers of culturally-sensitive material treated it with a level of seriousness that she did. There were so many conversations about what things meant. If it appeared in the shot, she wanted the meaning of what it meant, the history of it, even if it's like a mural, she wanted to know who painted it. I've never produced something and had to also be an archeologist at the same time.

Love this
(https://uploadir.com/u/gphz8h5m)
is this helping her career out
I wouldn't say she is capitalizing off of it per say. But I do believe she is/was looking at the bigger picture as far as her legacy is concerned. Beyoncé wants to be the greatest of the greats. Most of the greats have had a social justice moment and/or a moment that affirms their blackness. Even Janet who some would say is a fluff artist has Rhythm Nation.
Some could say that is a bit self serving but the level of care she has taken with each statement speaks to a deeper responsibility IMO. Ultimately I do feel this whole thing has served its purpose and she'll move on to her next legacy move. Which is the DC3 reunion

well if we were paying attention
she was moving into being more pro black and bringing awareness before this really kicked off
and we have grown woman as well giving a african tea before this pro black stuff kicked off
my friend said oh shes going to africa because theres no place else to go
Excuse me ?
this girl does not even promote anymore
she using her millions to expore and highlight things that are becoming of significance to her
shes using her platform to illustrate the culture and roots
like they are crazy
I don't think she's directly trying to capitalize off of "African" culture.... I really don't think that's her intention. I just think she' isn't the most genuine. :dead: People just don't give a fuck though because it's her.
Someone just explained it perfectly. It's just for the pro-black agenda she's pushing because it goes beyond artistry and solidifies her legacy in a way that's... untouchable.
It all adds to her fake "unbothered! Don't care about sales!" brand she's creating... because yes, she IS declining and getting older. So when she flops, people don't drag because they're focused on "the bigger picture". Bey is FRAUD. Lolz
