Why I Don't Like Beyonce

Being that she released B-Day and was in "Dreamgirls" in 2006 it was pretty damn hard not to notice Bey-Bey. She was/is everywhere! I will say that I love her music but a lot of shit with her and her family doesn't sit well with me. Before any of the stans start, yes, I'm a hater but I really do love Beyonce because I wouldn't be taking time out of my night to write about her if I didn't absolutely adore her. *rolls eyes*

The Destiny's Child (or Beyonce and those 2 or 3 other heffas) Switch-a-roo
I used to luff the hell out of Destiny's Child. I had both of their CDs and wore them bitches out so hard that they would skip every time I tried to play them. I also loved the fact that 4 beautiful, young Black women could grab the nation's stage and look cute by doing it. My favorites were LeToya and LaTavia (especially LaTavia with her thick ass) because they were the prettiest and LaT was rockin' that red hair to the fullest. I cannot tell y'all how crushed I was when I was watching the Box (a now-defunct video request station for y'all youngins) and I saw two new girls in the video for "Say My Name". This is where I started to lose respect for DC. Not only did they replace the other girls, the new DC would perform "SMN" with LeToya's and LaTavia's vocals still in the background. They never bothered to record a new version with the new members. WTF? To me that was so fucking disrespectful, I feel, an insult to the fan who would be able to tell the difference. Then the fact that LeT and LaT didn't even know they were replaced until they saw the video just boiled my blood further.

Ok, so now they have two new females: Michelle and Farrah. Even though I was pissed at the shit, I still tuned in for DC performances and listen to their albums. Then what happens? They kick Farrah out (another one of my favs). ARGH It also gets on my nerves when award shows give DC3 an award for selling so many albums but fail to acknowledge the other two original members. I mean, damn, I know that we are living out parts of "1984" but muthafuckas are trying to rewrite their history and shit. A damn shame.


Beyonce's Passive-Agressiveness
Is it me or is she turning into the queen of subliminals. First, there were the jabs at the original DC members:

B
Now that you're out of my life I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you but I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you but I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you now I'm wiser
Thought that I'd be helpless without you but I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you but I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million

Kelly
I'm wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon blast you on the radio(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon lie on you and your family(I'm better than that)
I'm not gon hate on you in the magazines('m better than that)
I'm not gon compromise my Christianity(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gon diss you on the Internet
Cause my mama taught me better than that

Michelle
After of all of the darkness and sadness soon comes happiness
If I surround my self with positive things I'll gain prosperity

Iight, here's my thing. I can see why Beyonce and Kelly would sing those lyrics, but what the hell is Michelle doing joining in? Heffa, that wasn't your beef. I know you don't want to bite the hand that feeds you and all, but damn. Oh. Right. Beyonce. The problem in this case is that she repeatedly said how the song was for no one in particular especially not for the former DCers. That's all fine, well and good, but B and Kelly...who the FUCK else would y'all be beefin' with over record sales and dissing in magazines? The average everywoman female is not going to identify with all that shit.

Then there's the comments about Jennifer Hudson and her supposedly wanting to play Effie: "I wish I could have gained 20 pounds and played Effie.". Bitch, boo. Something about that statement just smacks subliminal for me. Also, she's a damn lie because if she wanted to play Effie then the bitch wouldn't have shown up at the audition in character as DEENA.


Lyrics That Make No Damn Sense
I understand that sometimes lyrics aren't really that important to a song. Maybe the song is a party joint and no one's going to pay attention to it while dancing. Maybe it's a sex song and when you're going there who is actually trying to listen to the lyrics (see "The Greatest Sex" by The Lone Pisser a.k.a R. Kelly)? Beyonce, though takes it to a whole. nubba. levah! (hee!) Sista Toldja at http://thebeautifulstruggler.blogspot.com/ said it probably better than I can but I'm going to touch on some of the songs that she didn't.

(From my MySpace blog) Deja Vu
...it's feels kinda weird to be singing along to a song where the singer swears she's having Deja Vu.....but she's not. Deja Vu is the "experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously." (that was via Wikipedia.com). What was described in the song? The act of hallucinating....or she's just plain batshit crazy. (lol) I was on a message board (It was either C+D or TWoP) and someone said that it was this decade's "Ironic". I agree with that in the sense of some of the things in "Ironic" weren't really ironic, just like hallucinating doesn't equal deja vu, but.....some of the things in "Ironic" were ironic enough for it to add a lil bit of validity to the song. With "Deja Vu".....there is none.

It hurts and feels disearning
Ok....so it hurts and it feels like it's perceptive and exhibiting good judgement? Whatever you say, B.

Suga Mama
And I've always been the type to take care of mine
I know just what I'm doing
Don't you worry it's cool and everything is steady
Puttin' you on my taxes already, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I promise I won't let no bills get behind
Cause every touch, every kiss and hug
You 'bes believe it'll be on time
*claps* Bravo, B! Thanks to this and "Upgrade U" we will now have even more stupid-ass females plunking down money for men in order to keep them as well as showing men that if you can't Audemars Piguet them then you're not worthy. Oh, and thanks for sending the message to young females that you ain't loving your man right unless you buy him a lot of shit/pay his bills.

Other life gems from Beyonce:
When your man isn't treating you right you either call someone so you can cheat or you put on the sluttiest dress you can find so you can make your man jealous and have other men slobbering like twits
Never fail to remind your man how wack his sex is all while complaining that he's not home
Even though you hate your man you should keep him because the dude got bank and ain't no other bitch supposed to be spending that but you
If your man ain't acting right you can get another him in a minute even though you're currently dumping his ass for whatever he did in the first place
If your man is putting you through bullshit you should get a trophy cause you skrong
It's perfectly ok for your man to talk about bagging you while you talk about actually loving him

It's late. Early. Whatever, so I'm going to bed. I'll write more later.
