Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 the idea here about appropriation is jumping on to a scene and being in it but not about it.....taking....damn near stealing...because others find this appealing, so Ima take it and then Ima be appealing too, even though I aint about that life the gays embraced Beyonce ....long before miss Black Christian from Texas embraced them openly....its okay...bitch gotta know where them royalty checks coming from ...white folk they have fancy words, they call that shit "demographic" it be like who buying yo shit "Each One Teach One"To be fair..

LawdToday Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Lyrics, vocal sample Give me some lyrics sis and the Messy Mya + Big Freedia sample aren't exploitive at allShe obvs commemorated Messy Mya who was a big personality in NOLA before he died. And she has met freedia and I'm sure she is very excited that Beyoncé did that.And while you say its "exploiting" black gay culture but those two personalities are apart of the culture of New Orleans which she is definitely apart of.so again? The problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem?I never said it was a lot. It's mainly the slay part and stuff associated with that. Beyoncé does not associate with that culture at all, or celebrate it. The fact she does it now seems forced. Gay people obviously support her but she doesn't really embrace that. Til now. Like I said it seems put on and phony and like she's trying to get some type of new cred. Also, I wasn't being 100% serious that she's "appropriating" it's just a buzz word and everything is about that so I bring that up a lot. But I do think she's taking cues from a culture she hasn't necessarily supported or been a part of. Like I said it seems inauthentic. Also so all that other Nola connection stuff is irrelevant cus that's not what I'm talking about. That stuff obviously pertains to her. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I mean I'm from the UK so I don't know quite know about Red Lobster. Is it not a nice place?Its a chain restaurant of sea food fare, its not bad, its decent, its not a McDonalds but its not top of the food chain dining either. If you took someone on a date there that would be considered acceptable for the most part, if not lacking in originality. The food is good, somewhat pricey I had lobster linguine just last week from there and that was 30 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said it seems put on and phony and like she's trying to get some type of new cred.If this was in 2007, almost 10 years ago, maybe I would say you have a point?But Beyoncé and gay culture have been *obviously* intersecting since Single Ladies when a Ja'Quel choreographed her video and alot of that era. Beyoncé and gay culture mutually benefit from each other and if you say otherwise you are, again, just talking out your ass I mean unless you can pinpoint when she wasn't supportive of the gays Also, I wasn't being 100% serious that she's "appropriating" it's just a buzz word and everything is about that so I bring that up a lot. So you were talking out of your ass. Figured. Also so all that other Nola connection stuff is irrelevant cus that's not what I'm talking about. That stuff obviously pertains to her.No, I was saying the sound bites are more importantly apart of new orleans culture (two major bounce artists) than it is black gay culture so she has every "right" to use those sound bites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah . Is it nice?it's good. You can cook it at home. I recommend the tail bc that's where majority of the meat is. You Can buy meat online in the UK (a strange factoid) for like £14-20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawdToday Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Wasn't one of the dancers a T?

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 She doesn't always have gay back up dancers. Gave you a negative for not embedding the videoAnywho, Beyonce knows who her demographic is and that's what important.. Women, gay men, and Black Americans.. Lower and upper class. Millenial generation (18-34) despite her being 42 years old 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
