Bey should be outselling Adele and Taylor but I don't think it's black people's faults.
White people pirate most of her music and they make up for majority of her sales. If blacks were only supporting Beyonce exclusively, she wouldn't go platinum. Look at how poorly 4 performed when she went more urban.
I will admit I rarely buy albums. The only time I buy an album is if the music is really good or if I'm really interested in the artist. I did not support Beyonce's last effort because I thought it was crap tbh. I don't believe in supporting something just because the person is black.
When I buy Adele, she'll be the FIRST album I purchased this year. The only two albums I purchased last year were Ariana Grande's album and Sam Smith's album because I really like their sound and they remind me of the 90's. Before that, it was Fantasia's last record and before that Frank Ocean's record. These black singers need to step their game up. I don't like ratchet music talking about fucking and sucking on your husband. I like soulful lyrics and vocals.
