Millennials are probably the most racially and culturally integrated generation when it comes to music and entertainment. We were all listening to and loving the same media. At the same time. WE stood in line to buy Oops I Did It and Confessions. WE watched 106 & Park and TRL.
I'm really not going back and forth with anyone about Beyonce's songwriting skills. Everyone she's actually worked with says she writes, history says she writes and the credits says she writes.
Y'all can remain tense, pressed and dense about it.
I don’t know what strain of audacity y’all are smoking but some of the recent comments about Beyoncé’s and Rihanna’s physical appearance are very very nasty.
Y’all have seriously lost your damn minds.
#Noticing.
Beyoncé's second look for the Met Gala was designed by Robert Wun, called "The Stargaze Gown," and it was "inspired by the view from a night plane over a coastal city, seeing the Earth as a golden constellation.”
The custom-dress features 318,0000 stitches of embroidery, the highest amount of embroidery the fashion house has ever crafted. Golden faceted Swarovski crystals are meant to recreate stars in a dark night sky. In total, the look required 4,340 hours of handwork.
There are people who sell more, may have more streams or have more money.
But let me tell you something, nobody is more important in Entertainment than this woman. The most important entertainer in any room she's in.
It doesn’t matter who else drops rock-inspired albums. None will be rooted in BLACK culture or the architects of the genre the way Giselle will. Others will wear the aesthetic. Giselle is reclaiming it.
Maybe I was on to something???? Cadillac Records randomly showing on the day of the Met is hmmm
Cadillac Records (the original Chess Records) was based in Chicago
i been saying 3 things constantly for a very long time
1. Chicago will be important
2. The Act may be set in the era of the 1930s, 1940s, 50s and maybe early 60s (and possibly nods the the 1920s)
3. Agnes is the ancestor she’s nodding to
I also cited Cadillac Records as a possible inspiration
