Beyonce'- The Lioness of Feminist Pop

Since before Neyo was trying to convince us he was straight and from before Justin kicked Jc And The Others to the curb, there was a young girl, a young beautiful, talented, spicy wealthy girl who could write music. She had just released her first record with her backing vocalists and was in the studio with the likes of DarkChild and one day whilst eating on the leg of a deceased pig, she said aloud, "I want to be a feminist icon."
At the time- because she wasn't even a pop icon, the idea seemed stranged but when her second record was released, and spawned countless hits empowering females to kick their "bugaboos" to the curb if they couldn't RE-pay her "bills", then that girl finally realised the power of such songs inspired bitches from Walmart to WallStreet. The bitch was on fire. The bitch was starting to shit on hoes, even the hoes that inspired her, she began to shit on hoes so much- people tried to put her in a diaper but hell no- you wanted a new legend- you got a legend.

Beyonce'.
Since 1999, Beyonce' has been making it rain on these messageless hoes. Whilst Janet asked "what have you done for me lately" Beyonce' asked, "What am i going to do for myself?". Beyonce is now a feminist icon and I will explain why. (If you dislike pop culture commentaries which don't lick the ass of your favourite artist who is either colloborating with hoodrats like Keisha Cole or fucking midgets for beats, then turn away.)

Although Beyonce' first started showing signs of a feminist swagger in songs like Bills Bills Bills, Say My Name, Nigga Why Is You Hollerin' and Jumpin' Jumpin', her real definitive moment was when management kicked LaDonda and La Faecia to the curb for being too ghetto and wanting their own seperate manager and shit (i'll go into that story as soon as LaTavia's book comes out).
When the world blamed Beyonce' for all of this, they didnt realise that they were elevating her image for her, when they blamed Beyonce' for "kicking out those girls" they unknowingly were actually saying "This bitch is powerful enough to throw two girls out a group and her label couldn't even say shit to her- that's one bad bitch."

Beyonce' was presented as being some sort of Svengali in a Freakum Dress, stories of her bullying her group members gave her a sort of a backstabbing two faced persona coupled with her fair skin and light hair- she became the object of hate for every fat,ugly dark skin girl with hair nappier than Kunta Kente's on a hot day. This then made Beyonce' seem all powerful, this 18 year old girl from Texas calling the shots in her very own group. That was stage 1 of Beyonce's transition to becoming a feminist icon.

So with this supposedly negative image of her circulating around the press- Beyonce' did the unthinkable and played a bitch in her first movie, Carmen as if she was taunting her critics, "you wanna see what a real bitch looks like, bitch." And after this television movie was released, the black media rejected Beyonce' and her family as being money hungry ruthless monsters, giving Beyonce' the oppurtunity to cement herself in mainstream pop culture. She then co-wrote the song Independent Women (her second biggest feminist pop song after Single Ladies) the soundtrack to a film all about female empowerment, Charlies Angels. (do you see where i'm going with this.)

Then we hear that she and Jay Z are knocking boots, usually when an older man begins seeing a younger woman, the woman often is seen as being inferior to the man and the man seen as being her sugardaddy but because Beyonce' already had a powerful image already, we all know that wasn't the case. Instead- it was the man who was inferior as she was giving him mainstream credibility because pre-Beyonce', Jay Z was only discussed in the hip hop sub culture when he started spitting on Beyonce's track, his voice got mainstream radio play which familiriased pop audiences with his voice making it possible for him to colloborate with Rihanna on Umbrella without sounding out of place on a pop track.

So now Beyonce' is upgrading her man- we see her travelling the world, become a pop icon, shit on the "careers" of over 13 different irrelevants and raise the level for pop music but no other artist did what she did- she could actually sing better than the hoes who were known for just singing- she could outdance her dancers, she was getting cast in big budget movies and drawing in huge crowds resulting in all of her movies (except Cadillac Records which ironically is her best) becoming Box Office Number 1s. She was selling out tours- endorsement deal after endorsement deal, she was becoming so powerful that even Africans were making entire movies out of rumours about her that weren't even true:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndawsxg2b10&feature=PlayList&p=5A1E6EA0CE92A11C&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=12


Then Beyonce' released If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies, then this happened:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mur6zIJGHA

With one single she cemented herself as being a Pop Culture Phenomena/Feminist Icon. Beyonce' dealt with and discussed the problem that all good looking, succesful highflying multimillionairesses face, marriage. In the video, Beyonce' wears a mettalic glove on one hand whilst the other hand is free, the mettalic glove symbolises the hold that marriage places on has on modern women whilst the hand that is free symbolises Beyonce's ability to be a conventional wife as well as being her own person, promoting the idea that individualism does not need to be forfeited the second you say "I do."

Out of all her contemporaries, she is the only one who has maintained her sanity, credibility and success because as a woman she is aware of the social issues that affect her female audience, which is why she is also a gay icon for the black subculture because extremely feminine and fierce stars like Beyonce' attract the Benny Ninjas of the world especially as she is a woman of color.

Beyonce'- God bless you and your socially aware vagista.
