I think there's a similarity in their practices even while they engage in some stuff very differently. Taylor gives us waaaay too much access to herself, at least physically. She's always in public, always at events. She's always releasing music. But at the end of the day, they both have this super tight grip on their music, with lyrics and imagery that hints at deeper meanings, letting their fans fill in the gaps. And while I would argue that meaning is created between the artistic and the person observing the art, both of them rely heavily on their fans creating meaning. Heck, both of them released very long albums this year.

I’m a Sudanese war refugee and we had to evacuate shortly after war hit because it was not safe to stay any longer, we left 2 weeks after it all began leaving literally everything behind and starting off fresh somewhere else, the war is still going strong a year later as of today. It’s really sad and this video really resonated with me and I’m glad you are talking and spreading awareness about political issues like that. Sudan has been the centre of capitalism (agriculturally and resource wise) for any wealthy person who invested in it and this is the backbone of what started the war altogether. So hearing you talk about how capitalism, some way or another, has affected my country really shed some light on the whole situation. Now I’ve been a Beyoncé fan from a very young age and I still listen to her very catchy music but I cannot full heartedly support her for what she stands for and the agenda she tries to portray of power and owning whatever the heck she wants. I’m a black person and also the race she actively tries to empower, so in times like these when all we need is just support and basic humanity, it’s extremely upsetting that no one is willing to help or even raise awareness at that. Thank you for the amazing video!

One media savvy thing Beyoncé does is not saying much. She releases her albums, has some post made on her official social accounts and keeps making her money. This gives her most devoted fans the ability to attribute all kinds of things to her. They can make her a radical activist, a middle of the road liberal, a socialist, rugged capitalist, or even a right wing conservative depending on how they’re trying to defend against a good faith critique of her. There’s nothing she can do wrong in any circumstance. The para-social dynamic is so interesting since she does not engage that much.

@cmg25 facts. Millennials and Gen-Xers know. She was thirsty for interviews when she was in DC and trying to go solo. But they never aged well. The Carters basically copied the Smith's, when they weren't in the public eye. And like the Smith's, they are a business arrangement. And other nefarious acts. While she is a prisoner, she also parktakes in the f*ckery. We will soon see.

Same, I think I recall someone saying that the pose was supposed to be an homage to something (couldn't remember where I found it though). Plus I thought the cover had subtle symbolism; i.e. the blue in the American flag being missing (as its supposed to represent justice) and the horse that she is riding. Those horses are apparently known for starting out Black/Brown then turning White as they get older.

I totally agree with the part that Beyonce should be seen as what she is: An entertainer. Nothing less nothing more. I love love love Beyonce. But I would never refer to her as an activist of any sorts. Even more than that, I think that her activism was very conveniently timed: Self titled with the feminism (when girl boss feminism was starting to trend ) while simultaniously selling Ivy Park clothes made by the exploited hands of women. Lemonade during BLM. Renaissance when Ballroom Culture was everywhere.....That´s the only thing that makes her "evil" in my eyes: Exploting social issues or waves for profit.

This is your opinion and you're entitled to it.

Or even during the 70s with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and his iconic song born in the USA? I personally don't see anything insidious about capturing specific parts of history in various art forms. Isn't it something that's always been done?

Everyone in the U.S. is raised in a cult of individualism and is desperate for a hero. We latch onto anyone who looks like they could fit the bill. This was such a POWERFUL takedown of the oppression that accompanies appropriating revolutionary rhetoric for capitalist ends. This video was so good, I found myself worried about other people making Tee “the hero of our movement” (I mean, I felt a bit of a pull to do that myself), when what we need is to let go of heroes and start turning to each other. Disengage from mainstream media, built community with the people around you, and realize that you and every one of them will be flawed.

THANK YOU. Beyonce and her team are very clever to capitalize on her idolization by making her a moral figure and appropriating radical aesthetics (but not the politics, of course). People celebrity-worshipping her can then do so on moral grounds, which makes their faith even stronger. Beyonce is an incredible musician and entertainer--one of the best. But she is not an actual goddess or monarch. And... well, I was about to say she isn't a political figure either, but she is. She has made her politics clear: capitalism and neo-liberalism are her bread and butter. I hope people can realize that that's what they are worshipping when they idolize Beyonce. Give her her flowers, yes, but don't put these celebs on a pedestal.

As a beehive I hate to say it but I say it with love, you ate her up. Everything you said was 100% right, I forced myself to listen to this bc no one is above reproach. She should just make her art and be at peace with that. If she’s gonna be political go all the way, but she cannot bc that means she would lose a lot of power. She deserves to be called out bc she put herself in this position. She has no one to blame but herself for that. Also she and her peer Taylor swift have both done the same thing, just differently. Beyoncé with black power and Taylor swift with feminism.

Tee! So happy to see you. This video is so timely and needed. The part of the video that stood out to me is when you said “beyonces ultimate goal is not success, honor or wealth, it’s power.” And “power is expensive and inherently greedy. THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH.” I think that line is exemplary of the lack of humanity required to feed the fixation that billionaires have with regards to power. 10/10 for the whole video.

I don’t know if it’s my bias but i feel like this era is revolutionary but we understand that because is only the being of the revolution. American aesthetic and visual language is rooted in black cowboy culture and Americana culture which is inspired by black cowboys and European cowboy movies . By taking this aesthetic back from the white people I think it’s interesting . I think the only thing I will say I don’t agree with is the adoption of the blonde hair I think if she went for more natural colours and more black hair styles it would have been more effective . I can see how the blonde hair can make the whole thing seem like pandering to white people One key apart of the conversation I see missing is if Beyonce is trying to appeal to white folks how are they receiving it . I’ve seen more white people be angry by Beyonce than I have seen ever from any era . If she is trying to appeal to white poeple she is doing a awful job because they hate her more than ever

I feel some type of way because I commented on how Beyonce was virtue signaling while grabbing all the diehard fandoms cash, grabbing particularly from the people she claims to care about with Renaissance. And was told by people I don’t get it. No I get it! She turns a bop and a great performance, but Beyonce doesn’t care about the culture forreal, she cares about her capital. She told people to quit their jobs while never being working class. She also took on ballroom and queer imagery and sound while never coming out in support for the LGBTQ + community (yes I know gay culture relies heavily on black women & people, but she doesn’t say that either!). She also doesn’t speak out for the people outside of very polished statements and we know why (You remember her early interviews?)! We let her get away criticism free regarding this topic because she looks like us but she’s never been for us outside of wanting our money.

I think people expect too much from Beyonce. Let's be honest. She is not an activist, she is not a political trailblazer, we don’t even know how smart, worldly, principled or informed she is. Beyoncé, like MANY people, is full of contradictions. The only thing that she has really proved to us is that she's an artist, and a fantastic one at that - nobody can take that away from her. She does create music that means something and art that carries weight (as she should, right?) but we also project a lot onto it, as Tee herself says. We too have to take accountability for those projections and stop expecting so much from Beyoncé, a woman who we don't know from Adam and a woman who has actually made every effort to ensure that we are kept at a distance from her personal life and real self (which she has every right to do, she is not our peer and we do not know that lady or her family). We also need to stop placing so much importance on her “political” voice or lack thereof. Take her at face value: an extremely talented and extremely rich black person who makes art, touches on important themes and culture, albeit not always well, but cannot and should not be expected to do much more.

There is a sense of pride that we have in building our country and contributing so much to the culture despite the systems of oppression. It’s a very complex relationship, and we do have a sense of ownership that we feel to the fruits of the country after hearing generations of stories from our ancestors.

HOWEVER, once Renaissance came out among the varying things happening in society, I could not get down with her. The more I started to understand the machine behind her, the intentionality of certain decisions and business practices - I put my hands on my hips and said ‘somethin’ in the milk ain’t clean!’ Once you reach a billionaire status it is undoubtedly on the backs of someone’s else’s back/body that provides no equality in pay for the worker. I spent a lot of time questioning if I was a hater, but in reality I’m just waking up to the fact that the meritocracy that was being pushed was rigged.

I’m going to say something that many have touched on but haven’t wrapped together, but Beyoncé occupies every aspect of black privilege, she grew up wealthy (her words), she was the oldest and most celebrated siblings, she made millions before her debut solo album, met her husband who similar to her dad protected her from any of the negative parts of the music industry, not to mention she’s light skin, she is the full embodiment of the black standard of beauty. Her activism will only ever be surface level because she doesn’t have a comprehension understanding of struggle. She has never struggled. I think she is a more professional and graceful version of Taylor Swift. She clearly cares what the public thinks and how we perceive her, but does what Taylor wishes she could do, act unbothered. The only topic I have ever heard bey be rich and deep about is cheating… which she outside of her own marriage, saw her mother suffer through.

Bey definitely struggled at times during the early dc days. Her parents literally put their lives to the side for her dream. Yes her parents were wealthy but there was a time her parents had to downsize due to Matthew losing his job and Tina had to take care all the bills which at times she had problems paying. So the house on Parkwood, her parents lost that house and had to downsize to a way smaller house and be in a regular community. Also, during the DC days when they really became mainstream, she got a lot of flack and hate websites due to her group members leaving. So her mental health was at a low point and she was definitely depressed but pushing through although DC had hits on the charts at the time. So I just want to add that in what you’re saying.

lemonade came out the day AFTER my zora neale hurston class ended and my final paper was about storytelling and using To Pimp A Butterfly to compare to Hurston’s works. and the way i wanted to throw my phone listening to Lemonade-had she released it just a week before, i woulda wrote my whole paper on that album instead lmfao

Not only does this album not change the racist infrastructure, it actually DEPENDS on it in order to succeed. It’s only because it is perceived as a strike against a racist market that it is getting the amount of buzz and attention that it is. A better example, in my opinion, of a black artists tearing down barriers would be Michael Jackson. His music literally changed the industry, but did not need to backdrop of racism in order to be successful. I don’t say this to denigrate protest music. I simply mean we are wrong to think that protest music being marketable is a concrete victory for the protest it represents. If we don’t capitalize on the awareness it spreads then it can warm over into a personal vanity project for the artist. The artist is not a messiah.

I started listening to Kendrick due to the beef and it has moved so many things in me (positively). I'm also supporting 🇵🇸, 🇸🇩 🇨🇩. Discovering like minded people and a sense of community. I really don't even know how to articulate all my thoughts and feelings right now. Just wanted to let you know that I'm getting closer to my blackness as a mixed woman and to community as someone whose chore is that very thing. I appreciate you sooo much even though I don't know you. I see you like that older sister you look up to (I only have brothers for context). If you ever decide to leave KZfaq know that you have had and are having a great impression on me and am extremely grateful for your presence and voice. Love you Tee ❤

It's not a coincidence that the music industry is currently pushing country music to the forefront. A music genre that represents nationalism and patriotism. Especially when the US is preparing for another Middle East war and is currently financing a GENOCIDE. It's not a coincidence! The government uses celebrities as assets to push whatever agenda they want to push.

The Bill Gates patenting seeds...that's not new and he's not the first. I read about this a while ago. Companies sell modified seeds that are touted as being pest & disease resistant, but they "patented" the seeds. So you have to pay the company for more AND, the crops often need powerful and expensive fertilizers ( also bought from the same company), and the modified crops quickly deplete the land...causing the farmers to need more expensive fertilizer. It's like selling the farmers their first hit of crack, they know they're making permanent customers out of them. All at the cost of the ecosystems, farmers, and food costs to us. Capitalism!😒

@@lucasouza3628 we can do both. we should do both! theres both individual responsibility as well as collective responsibility. one doesnt cancel out the other. both are important to acknowledge. some leftists squirm at the idea of individual responsibility because it makes them uncomfortable to point at particular people they idolize . its important to fight this idolization on whichever example. individual responsibility also makes them scared to point at themselves. on the other hand, right wingers forget collective responsibility and think that systemic issues will do with individual solutions. for a healthy balanced approach, we must engage both, even as leftists
