Wife and I Reacting to "Lemonade" by Beyonce

[@bobthepoppop]

Warning - The edits on the video are a total hackjob. I've spent the last 3 days wrestling with KZbin over copyright blockage, and I've had to use their trimming/muting options multiple times. So it's a trainwreck for the listener. Sorry, not much I can do about it :(

No worries and oh forget to mention, Formation wasn’t a part of the story for the visual album, nor the sorry demo! Formation was like the credits song. So like you guys probably thought but it that’s why formation maybe seemed a little unrelated (:

Daddy Lessons: Her dad helped raise her in the business, fought for her, always warned her about Jay Z cheating, but at the same time... He was caught embezzling money from her as her former manager but then also cheated on her Mom (now divorced). AND YES, the kid at the end is her daughter, which brings her to the next GENERATION. You are smart GirLLlllLLLL

[@Curious.Aquarius]

​@@Clkdestinations in Daddy Lessons, I took her saying "before he died" as metaphorically, not literally. Meaning, their relationship died because of the aforementioned reasons regarding him stealing from her and cheating on Tina.

Agreed!

[@amsta0594]

I definitely recommend watching the Lemonade movie, which illustrates exactly what you noticed: all the emotional stages a person goes through in a situation like this. It also contains a lot of social, racial and political references, so basically the album is not really just about her relationship with her husband. I personally loved it, because it is very relatable and it can speak to so many people

[@robinvolpi]

Without question....

[@danielletildamoro9706]

Yes, pls. Watch it. It completes and adds more to the experience and makes you realize things more.

[@novichader]

All Night - is one of the most mature love songs you'll ever hear. It's neither the beginning nor the end of love like most songs but a choice to continue loving, through forgiveness and compromise. That's often not as sexy as "we just met" or "it's over". To say that "I know you and I still love you" is humbling. This may be my favorite of all her songs. It's grown up.

[@calefaccionado]

Her best song.

[@tink6225]

such a wholesome and filling song💓

Yep!! Glad I’m not the only one that caught that

[@Dazzybatt444]

Okay and alot of black people don't even like those genres, and it it's just a music genre nothing is perfection about that idk why people have to bring race into everything

[@Dazzybatt444]

And country was made by 2 people technically a white and black person

[@Dazzybatt444]

Yall always gotta bring race into something like just enjoy the music without saying "black people made this" "white people made that" like just listen it doesn't matter who created it if it's good then it doesn't matter

[@Dazzybatt444]

Music wasn't even created by anyone specifically people just play with instruments and make up a name for it like do u have to bring up race it's useless and it's not gonna change anything (and yes I'm black)

[@liasparks]

6 inch heels is about Beyonce throwing herself into her work since her personal life is a wreck. She actually went on tour and named it the Mrs. Carter world tour at one point. This was the most vocal she had ever been about claiming her relationship publicly. We all suspect this was the time she was dealing with these personal issues. This was a world tour that she started with NO new music. She released the Beyonce-self named album halfway through the tour. I take it that she had to get away and lost herself in her work....I think they were likely working through all the issues that she reflects on this album during that time. She was super thin when that "beyonce" album came out and in hindsight, it definitely looks like she was going through something. On jay-z 4:44, he does mention having to "change the weather" and move across the country to LA for him to get her back...ie he had to change and acquiesce to the life she wanted to peruse if he wanted to be apart of her life.

[@peteadenuga]

[@Arkyark672]

This is probably one of the most personal ones when you put all the pieces together.

You’d be so amazed with the visual aspect of this album it’s so much more relatable in a sense. Grounding to her artistry and ability to make a powerful journey of healing. As a woman I can’t imagine how special it was towards black women and fans it’s so much more than just infidelity. A discovery of herself and her family’s history in America

I could talk about this album for hours. The meaningfulness of the samples, collaborations, history tied together to Beyoncé journey beyond just infidelity. Loved this album and the reaction !!

[@Altravo]

Daddy Lessons made me cry a little as if I just heard it for the first time cause of your wife’s reaction. What’s known of Beyoncé relationship with her dad is both messy and beautiful. Helping her career since childhood grow as he became her manager to his breaking up with her professionally and detailed distance alongside his divorce with Beyoncé’s mom because of infidelity as well. A generational curse Beyoncé reflects on that she is determine to break in her own family.

[@Taewills]

Right?!? Same. It’s my fav song on this album but the older I get the more I appreciate ppl expressing their vulnerability and crying. It’s contagious now (thanks to therapy) and Beyoncé’s complicated relationship with her father is super relatable. Also, the jazzy soul of the song is very Louisiana styled which is a traditionally AA styled country

[@adrian.moon.5199]

throughout the whole entire film that she made for this album it’s not only about infidelity, but it’s also about her culture and all the beautiful parts about being a black woman, it’s almost like the infidelity made her do some deep searching in her soul and in her roots, she includes A LOT of imagery of all these black women around her like a huge family, she also includes a poem for every single song on the album in the film, which are ABSOLUTELY insanely beautiful written poems, and yes, the chapters in the film were exactly in order of the stages of grief, but she throws a small spin on it Pray you catch me - Intuition Hold up - Denial Don’t hurt yourself - Anger Sorry - Apathy 6 inch - Emptiness Daddy lessons - Accountability Love drought - Loss Sand castles - Forgiveness Forward - Resurrection All night - Redemption Formation - Reformation

[@PrettyP.69]

You're the bomb thank you for this 😊

Freedom is imo one of Kendricks most conplex verses, it starts by counting down with numbers up until 5, then the next lines he counts down but with the amount of sylablles in the words he is using, absolutly brilliant.

[@trese2658]

31:25 “it’s a crazy annotation” lol but it’s all true you just had to be there in that moment. With the whole elevator fight and the release of this album. It’s a well known saying that the world got 3 good albums out of the elevator fight: Beyoncé Lemonade, Jay Z 4:44, & Solange(Bey’s sister) A Seat At the Table. And till this very day nobody but the 4 that was on that elevator knows what the fight was really about, that’s how private they are. We only have context clues, speculations, and even conspiracy theories about the infamous elevator fight. 😂

The movie is great and really shows all the emotions she went through from finding out, denial, realising, anger, then being focussed on just her and her kid to going through the process of forgiveness

[@franlymatias6942]

Great reaction. NOW YOU MUST LISTEN TO 4:44 by Jay Z. It’s the first time he sheds the gangster persona and comes fully clean about his mistakes marital and in life. A response of sorts to this album, and a therapeutic hip hop album that almost paves the road for an album like Mr. Morale. One of the best albums In his catalogue, and one that you can likely relate to as a father.

On 6 inch, she’s talking about her alter ego… it’s Sasha fierce. She’s on tour. Jay z explains on his 4:44 album. that she was on tour ignoring him after he cheated. “She murdered everybody and I was her witness” Beyoncé was the witness to Sasha. she really wants him to come back, but she’s keeping herself busy working.

[@jerarrinkennerly3799]

Can y'all please react to other Beyoncé albums too? Especially Renaissance. And PLEASE react to some of her live performances. That's where she truly shines.

[@tink6225]

This album is basically a thesis on healing from generational trauma in her family's relationships & between black men and women. Also looking to black history to find herself and go back to her roots. [i feel like this is better explained in "How to make Lemonade" which is her limited edition book]

As a Beyonce fan it's really cool to see new people admiring your work. She is amazing at everything she sets out to do. This album is incredible, visceral and intense. A true work of art. I suggest watching the movie Lemonade. With the film they feel free and appreciate the songs in a much more intense way. A hug from Brazil!

[@lrnolivia]

"Love Drought" wasn't super well received by the general public when the album was released but has grown to become a fan favorite and with great reason. It's ethereal and very raw. I also think the visuals help tie everything together, you really do have to watch the Visual Album.

[@Arkyark672]

It was one of my favs when it came out. I don’t listen as much anymore but it hit me the first time I heard it. I didn’t care for “all night” like the others.

[@Molonlabee_]

Love Drought was my favorite from first listen. The women that wrote it is describing her relationship with the record label. There's also reference to when artists used to calm riot crowds with music. She's speaking to what her songs could do for the world with the label behind her but they are cutting her out of working.

[@warrenedwards2506]

You gotta react to the visual album. Beyoncé won a Peabody Award for this film. I think so many people try to listen to lemonade in pieces and towards the end it really starts to make sense that the album is about retribution, redemption ans most important healing.

[@inspyyy]

This was actually a really good idea to listen to this with your wife. Her takes were so interesting!! She understood this album just from the title alone, which is impressive!

[@Altravo]

6 inch was interesting to hear from your perspectives but I feel it demonstrates Beyoncé as the sexual stage persona touring around world vs the vulnerability and innocence she exhibits outside her work at home - at the end to be both “pleading” for her husband back while being able to demonstrate and capitalize on her desire for everyone including her herself

[@yee3133]

love this interpretation and totally agree

[@Altravo]

The film is essential because of the visuals and special to me because of the spoken word by Warsan Shire. It’s amazingly clever and adds to the depth of this album and reflection of each track. Recommend !! Y’all already pick up so much on the gender focus ofc and thread between each track

[@UNDERC0NSTRUCTI0N]

Jay z said he was in the studio with her on some of the sessions while recording..he said it was like therapy for them lol

[@casiedomingos5197]

Funny thing this actually started as a joint album for them. But as it progressed it turned into Bey’s story what would be Lemonade. Then JAY-Z put his songs on 4:44 and they both did “everything is love” which was the icing on the cake so to speak.

[@Arkyark672]

You’re spot on about stages of grief. That’s what the film is about essentially. It’s clear which song goes with a certain process of that grief in the film.

[@TronTheTramp]

I’m so happy y’all did this… the visuals change everything

[@EricN17]

You’re right, Diana Gordon is the female vocalists on 3 of the songs on Lil Yachty’s album. But other than a great singer, she’s also a great writer. She co-wrote Don’t Hurt Yourself, Sorry and Daddy Lessons & she co-produced Sorry. She’s extremely talented, but very underrated. Loved your reaction to this album!

[@Clkdestinations]

Love Drought was a fan favorite when the album debuted. The song writer said she wrote it about her frustration with Beyonce/Parkwood continually not selecting her songs. There’s an interview clip on KZbin. It’s the part in the story when Bey is moving towards healing and repairing their relationship.

He's said many times that he doesn't really like standard pop or R&B music, especially if the content isn't lyrically dense. Albums like Bday and Renaissance aren't really lyric heavy so he might have a problem getting into them. I think he'd enjoy her newer projects more for how experimental they are but I honestly think he might struggle with Renaissance. Self-titled is the only album, apart from Lemonade, that's close enough to other non-rap albums he's enjoyed.

[@casiedomingos5197]

Lemonade changed the way I consume albums. I now know how crucial it is to consume albums as the artist puts it out. In the sense that if they make a small trailer/film then release a single watch that trailer/film first etc. Lemonade is so much more then the cheating that went on. The art that she made and displayed the visuals they all tell a story. I am so glad I watched the entire film when it came out. It gave me a deep understanding about how she and JAY-Z came out on the Otherside. How she healed and her as a person. - Lemonade visuals - Lemonade poems from Warshan Shire - Lemonade album Truly album of the year is my book! I haven’t experienced anything like Lemonade. And everything that Beyoncé has put out since then has been up to par or even better and never the same. I’m such a fan I know… But we all should be this woman is mindblowing! 🫶🏾🥰👏🏾

I love how you both offered your own thoughtful perspectives while alao leaving room for where your ideas didn’t quite align. I also loved when Bob said "It's about the appreciation of the art, not whether or not you like the art." What is also really interesting is seeing people outside of the Black /African American community dissect things that would be very obvious to us but maybe not so much (or at all ) to you. This is what art is all about. Connection and expansion. A lot of this album was about Jay and Bey's relationship, but so much of it was also about existing and overcoming as a Black Woman. This album is an ode to the culture of Black Womanhood, and our people, and what we face, endure, and overcome as we navigate life.

Really wish you guys watched the film. It’s so beautiful. Great reaction!

Love the video. In the song "Hold Up" she is referencing Jay-Z's song "Song Cry" where he even says that women didn't talk to him until he had money. Also Lemonade is part 1 of an album Trilogy by them. Lemonade 4:44 by Jay-Z Everything is Love by The Carters

Daddy Lesson is so such an incredible song and I would love for Beyonce to dip in more into country.

[@genesisjanae1375]

Daddy lessons is about the her dad too. He had a child outside his marriage. Her parents got divorced. This all happened while jay z was cheating. She says later in the album “you remind me of my father, able to be 2 places at once”

Yay! Love that you finally did Lemonade!!! What a great reaction. I would like to know more about which instruments I can trust. Lol. The pictures for each song are from the Lemonade movie/music videos. I would suggest watching that. Hopefully you will also listen to her sister Solange- A Seat at the Table.

i also HIGHLY recommend you listening to her self titled album “BEYONCÉ” and her album “RENAISSANCE” and “4”

[@RajanSharma-pt8kr]

What a great, thorough and nuanced reaction!!! This is one of my favourite albums of all time (I literally skipped school the day it came out to listen to it😅) so this reaction made me super happy. I wish y’all reacted to the music videos though!! The visual album really adds a second layer to this work, I’d reccomend checking it out ✨🐝

There is a dance feature of “Formation” from the 2016 Super Bowl performance. It’s great!!!

I LOVED this review. It's my first time watching and I'll definitely be watching more, even from artist that I don't casually listen too.

[@amsta0594]

What I love the most about Beyonce is that she is able to make her music speak for herself. She always manages to make it about her craft, rather than getting attention for her personal life.

nah we need wife featured on more videos, she gives such interesting perspectives

[@isaacveron4461]

This is by far one of the best reacts i've seen for Lemonade on KZbin. Great video
