Why the fuck are people over rating this album? Her last album was much better and it wasn't getting this much attention. I don't get it.

3.35 isn't that highly rated
>>65735247
Yes, but compared to her last album, it's over rated
>>65735230
Because of a brilliant marketing campaign by her label painting it as the ultimate album for black women.

I wish rym would let us see what scores albums got if we removed all the votes by white people
>>65735286
The site wouldn't exist without white people though
Because her last album didn't come out in the middle of the poptimism wave where generic radio pop is celebrated by professional critics for some reason.

the literal creator and owner of RYM is from the middle fucking east
iny Mix Tapes was thrown into something of a behind-the-scenes tizzy last month when it emerged that Beyoncé, that unimpeachable icon of feminine empowerment and liberation, was making more than a few bucks out of alleged female sweatshop labor in Sri Lanka. Given that we’d joined the rest of the Free World in praising her latest album to the hilt, this news caused something of a stir in our “office,” re-confronting us with the age-old question of whether we can or should divorce ourselves from the political and ethical ramifications of an artist’s life when appreciating their art.
In Beyoncé’s case, this isn’t perhaps a difficult question to answer, if only because Bey had already brought politics and ethics into her work by using a narrative of (female/black) manumission to brand and sell it.
Because it's worth all the hype

Well the figurative creator and owner of RYM is white

Her self titled album deserved more hype than this shit.
>>65735525
Wow
Her self titled got a fucking shit ton of buzz too.
In fact, even though Lemonade's sold well, I hardly hear it on the radio, whereas Drunk In Love was a fucking anthem for months.
becos it's got jack white on it #whitemales
anyways i liked both. both are different and good. i love her
>>65735428

She is honestly such a hack. Look at me I'm an independent black women I don't kneed no man so Im gonna sing about it the only way I know how. In a stupid gospel tone. Because I am a black women and thats how we sing.
>>65737603
And she's so white washed black that it's an insult for her to relate to truly black women.
it's a good album desu. no masterpiece though, not every track is good
>>65737603
>Im gonna sing about it
She literally doesn't sing about it though. It's just a standard Beyonce album but the media is praising it for being so pro black or whatever.
Pretty smart move from her camp. All her fans will praise it as this black excellence, neutrals will be drawn to it as they hear it's got such a powerful message, and /pol/tards will moan about it only generating it's hype.
But the album has fuck all to do with blackness desu.
reminder to please refrain from commenting on this album unless you are a poc
