Beyoncé - RENAISSANCE (July 29, 2022) Album • Page 6

There's also a lot of legal issues with Kelis and her back catalog, so it cuts deeper for her. Legally, everything correct was done to get the song sampled, but yeah it sounds like Kelis personally wasn't approached for her signoff

 

Lot of beef with Pharrell and her over all of this too.

I think at one point Pharrell said he wishes he had given Britney Spears “Milkshake” instead of to Kelis.

 

Yeah, the feud between Pharrell and Kelis is sad, considering how good they worked together. Pharrell kind of screwed a lot of people over by prioritizing himself over all the artists he signed to Star Trak.

 

Makes sense, ain't no way the person who created Happy not be fucked up in some way

 

I wasn’t sure how much I was feeling this but then the chorus in Alien Superstar hit. Unreal good song.

 

Hmmm with this amount of backlash she might have to do something

too late for the vinyl though

 

Kelis is clearly in the right, but it is kind of tricky since she doesn’t own the song and didn’t necessarily have to be credited. It is weird how you’ll hear from Father John Misty or Ezra Koenig how she reached out to them for “Lemonade.” You would think she’d do the same for Kelis. Then again, you would also think Pharrell would have the sense to not sample someone who has an active beef with him and has accused him of stealing the rights to her music.

 

Pharrell is the shittiest person involved here, but Kelis is right on every point. A phone call is not hard. Her stans are really toxic in the comments also.

 

yeah it's weird acting like Kelis isn't one of the most influential people in the genre

 

Six songs in and this is my favorite album from her so far. Did not expect it to be this good.

 

Wow she called us the fuck out

 

Cuff It is incredible

 

The transition from energy to break my soul is hella good

 

Also her online store got restocked with vinyl, shipment isn’t projected til October though

 

Front to back dance jams as expected. Only have listened to it unbroken on an early morning subway ride, so going to hold off forming an opinion until Saturday night.

 

“Cuff It” is an instant classic

 

This slaps

 

This is fantastic. Virgo’s Groove is insane.

 

Sequencing is WILLLLLDDDDDDDD. SHIT FLOOOOOWWWWSSSS

 

This album slaps

 

This album is pretty incredible, but let’s not act like Kelis didn’t already do this whole thing on Flesh Tone.

Damn monkeypox got me staying away from the club but I really want to to go dance on a dark sweaty dancefloor to this tonight.

 

Song title: “church girl”

song lyrics: “drop it like a thotty drop it like a thotty” lmao

 

My fav so far
