Black people act like Beyonce is universally loved they way our people love her, but is that even true? I know she has fans from all communities, but do her albums actually have the kind of crossover appeal that would lead to an AotY award at the Grammies.

Beyonce is an odd case to me. People have basically said she's the new generation MJ, but I don't see it. I think black people overestimate how popular she actually is in general. For example, black people don't seem to hold Rhianna in as high regard as Beyonce, but Rhianna has sold more than twice as many albums over her career.

yes and no

beyonce just pulled off a worldwide stadium tour and there were waaaaaaay more non-black people in those audiences

beyonce had white ass adele ready to give up her album of the year grammy because she felt beyonce was more deserving

white people love beyonce, but she’s not one of their own. taylor swift is. so if they were forced to chose, they kicking beyoncé’s black ass to the curb

white people picking beyonce over taylor is like us picking justin timberlake over usher

shit ain’t happening. it will never happen. it’s not even a thought

To me you are right and wrong. We really do move the needle when it comes to popular culture. Turn on the TV now and all you hear is hip hop and R&B playing on commercials. Cause the ad executives age 35-50 grew up on MTV jams and were watching rap city. Let's not even mention the fact that since probably the 1960's the title of most popular person on the earth has been a black man. From Ali to Jordan to Michael Jackson to Mike Tyson. You can hold up a pic of the jump man in Easter Island and they will yell michael jordan. Most times our famous athletes are more recognized than the president worldwide

No see, it's not we thing, it's an individual thing.

The White entertainment establishment likes specific Black artists. White people don't care about the culture it came from.

We think Michael Jackson to Jay Z to Whitney to Beyonce represents us but they represent themselves.

Black entertainers like to represent their Blackness when their feelings get hurt because they find out no matter how much money and fame they have, they will be always be a cog in the machine and the machine can always find another one of them.

And they think it's such an injustice not realizing that's how capitalism works and everyone is replaceable. Everyone suffers from alienation from their work.

Black people just so happen to be understand their own vulnerability through entertainment for some reason.

A lot of us will advocate for Taraiji to get a pay raise but frown upon unions and shit, not knowing she's part of a union lol.

It's because art doesn't have any strong objective measurements of quality and artists are fundamentally insecure people. They want to be liked and respected for what they do because what they do on some level, has no value other than what people feel about it. Athletes are objectively judged, either you get the points or you don't. Artistic pursuits don't have that.

So when they put in all this effort to be critically acclaimed by critics that can't do what they do to be well-reviewed to impress their peers that sit on these voting committees, it kinda means makes what they do have a level of gravity.

Because other than that, it really don't mean shit lol.

Especially since some of the most groundbreaking, genre pushing artists out have never won a Grammy but I can tell you who they influenced that have won Grammys.

Arca, Playboi Cart, Charli XCX, Kelela, FKA Twigs, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert.

So yeah, awards don't matter, influence does. Fucking Baby Keem got a Grammy before Trav and Carti lol.

Don't get me wrong. I know Beyonce is a beloved celebrity across racial lines, and she's got singles, but outside of the Beehive, is anyone really looking at Beyonce albums like they are classics?

Beyonce suffers from the same issue Michael Jackson had. After Thriller, Michael Jackson didn't win shit.

Black people thought Michael Jackson was too detached and too Pop. We had Rick James, Cameo and shit. Nobody was playing Bad in the club where the bad bitches was at. White people thought the man was super talented but too unattainable.

Therefore yeah, people thought the man was the best, sold out shows and etc but he wasn't the voice of the fucking streets and he wasn't the damn standard of music after Thriller.

Now, people look back and be like, "Oh he was the GOAT. He made Thriller."

Nobody was saying that shit after 84. It was, "He's weird, who listens to him?" despite selling out concerts all over the world with the biggest tour of all time.

And niggas didn't even like Thriller like that. Half of Michael's Black fans from the 70s, was disgusted hearing this man sellout, making corny ass songs like Girl Is Mine, Thriller and Beat It. But Michael went for numbers because he was snubbed with Off the Wall. The kids loved it.

Beyonce is going through the same thing right now. Anybody that knew her from Destiny's Child to I am Sasha Fierce, when she made more accessible music probably stopped giving a fuck besides her die hard fans but her performances is what carries her with her older fans. Her fans that know her from Beyonce, Lemonade and Renaissance think she's a damn genius as they go backwards into her catalog.

Beyonce has about 4 generations in her fan base at this point. Renaissance was the biggest tour last year. Beyonce is the GOAT but Rihanna made accessible music. SZA, Summer Walker and Doja Cat makes more culturally relevant shit, so it seems like Beyonce ain't the best ever but trust me, they ain't selling out stadiums like Beyonce.

Beyonce doesn't need commercial classic albums at this point. She's been making avant-gardes shit for a while that comes and goes and the critics love it.
