The cover is a complete serve. My ONLY complaint is that I wish they took out the flag so it’s more cohesive with the Renaissance cover. But I get why it’s there.

Hmm, I wonder who the artists are. A Bruno collab would be crazy! I thought their energy together at Super bowl was a lot of fun

I'm guessing a slew of Black Country artists, Dolly (or at least a Dolly sample) and I wouldn't be surprised if she brought the Chicks back especially since they stood beside her at the CMAs.

The Chicks being a feature is the top of my wish list for sure!

This is the most I’ve ever been invested in a Beyonce release (always been a casual fan). This seems truly special and boundary breaking

Other than the great taste she showed with Carrie and Kelsea, I'm struggling to find a 2nd good point...

I’m not sold yet on this era but I’m definitely curious and looking forward to listening to the album. First 2 songs are just ok. She has so many songs more deserving of being #1 on the Hot 100. Happy for her continued success though.

Azealia needs to focus on cleaning the chicken blood in her closet and stop with this internalized racist shit that is just pandering to hipsters and blogger thinkpieces. Nothing she has to say is as impactful or as humorous as she thinks. I can imagine Beyonce literally laughing as she reads this. The sooner she realizes that she is actually just feeding white audiences exactly what they want, instead of ACTUALLY uplifting the culture, the better.

Other than the great taste she showed with Carrie and Kelsea, I'm struggling to find a 2nd good point... That Jay-Z is boring. That she's a notoriously bad actress (💀). That being the first Black woman to have a #1 on the country charts might mean more if it weren't such a cosplay of a song--which it is, even though it's a fucking jam ("Bey on the prairie" "pilgrim fantasy" 💀💀💀). That she's the biggest star in the world and so it stands to reason that her victim of not being welcome approach could be met with eye rolls (not by me in this case, but I can understand the sentiment). I'm into what Bey is doing here but for all of Azelia's foaming at the mouth, this one was at least...thought out, agree or disagree. Azealia needs to focus on cleaning the chicken blood in her closet I'm in tears. I genuinely don't think any white people read this if they aren't terminally online and/or white gays, and at least 70% of both audiences don't take her seriously and just enjoy it for the occasional giggle. Beyonce, too, probably falls in this camp, if it reaches her at all. |

The limited edition cover has been unveiled. All variations on her online store have been updated, I definitely prefer the other cover (which I assume is for the standard). http://instagram.com/p/C4vnPyIRusq |

^^ I pre-ordered and I’m cancelling, the actual cover is so much better! gonna end up with two vinyls because the cancel/returns policy is you cannot cancel/return!
Bey on the prairie got me because that’s literally exactly what TEXAS HOLD EM sounds like hahahaha

I forget what happened with Renaissance because it actually feels like it dropped so long ago, but...was there some sort of exclusivity clause in which only her website could sell the physical copies initially? I ask because I don't even see placeholders for this on Amazon or Target and it comes out in 3 days. If that's the case, it looks like I won't be hearing it when it drops because I am not ordering that janky cardboard box and cheap t-shirt combo again like I did for Ren. Even if I did order that today from her site, it wouldn't come til next week at the earliest anyway.

I'll also check the two Targets within 2 miles from me. Usually, their website info is accurate, but I call them to confirm usually because I have had such terrible issues with them. Sometimes, I still fall prey to their fuckery, sadly, but yeah, very few times that I've bought from an artist's store I have been rewarded. Nothing beat waiting a year for Kid Audi's MOTM.3 album though, omg. Folklore was almost as bad - 9 months I think. JT - I only had to wait a few days for the deluxe vinyl to arrive, which was impressive. Mariah's recent box sets took forever, but at least I knew that I would be waiting for that long and they came earlier than the site stated. I'm still surprised there isn't at least a standard pre-order on Amazon and Target. |

2 days left zero sign of preorder outside her webstore. I don't think she will release it on target, walmart etc on first week. to avoid leaks.
I think you guys going to waste time.. it's very interesting rolld out indeed, I don't think we ever saw release like this before.
she saw the renaissance's number and realized retail numbers are very low nowadays, and leaks always come from them.
