I’m writing this because of some of the discourse I’ve been seeing coming from pop stans lately, and I want to be careful with how I say this because I, too, enjoy a pop girl every once in a while, but I genuinely don’t think some people who dislike Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, etc., have the critical thinking skills necessary to understand and interpret art, imagery, and storytelling.
You need a certain level of critical thinking and media literacy to truly understand albums like Lemonade, 4:44, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Cowboy Carter, To Pimp a Butterfly, A Seat at the Table, etc. Yes, they are songs, but they’re also complex bodies of work that explore history, identity, politics, culture, generational trauma, and nuanced social issues through symbolism, imagery, and storytelling. And it’s okay not to fully understand them. Not everyone has the same ability or willingness to engage with art on that level, and not every piece of art is going to resonate with everyone. But you only make yourself look like an idiot when you mistake your inability to appreciate or interpret something for a lack of artistic merit, cultural influence, or impact.
Not understanding art is one thing. Dismissing its significance because YOU don’t understand it is another. Jay-Z is an incredible, impactful, and relevant rapper whether you like it or not.
Random lore about me is that I’ve never done drugs or smoked anything. I’ve never touched a vape, Juul, cigarette, joint, or anything else. I’ve never been high. However, I was an alcoholic for a few months when I was in the military. I’m almost 24 now, so it’s become a bit of a pride thing but I always wonder if I’m missing out lmao
