Grown Woman

Let's be clear:

Yoncé has been giving you hints that she's a grown woman for years now! I don't follow her lyrically enough to speak intelligently about the "demonic" references few are referring to, or the culturally "religious" credence she's been given but what I do know is all the hoopla over her supposed "too" explicit lyrics are ludicrous! Yes! They are a tad bit more explicit than some more previous albums but REALLY?! When did you ever feel her music was based towards a "family" or "tween" or "children's" audience?! It certainly hasn't been gospel or christian contemporary since Destiny's Child's Silent Night, Holy Night rendition! Even when she was with Destiny's Child...did you actually think young girls in high school, middle school and younger or what-not should be focused on a MAN that could pay their "Bills"?  On being "Bootylicious"? At that age is there room for concern of being "Dangerously in Love"? 

Get real! 

Having "Resentment" towards a man or needing and wanting a "Soldier"? Oh, my bad...it came out around 9/11 so you literally thought she meant a soldier in our beloved United States Army? What did you think "Check Up On It" meant...actually?! Checking on homework?! 

Seriously!

When has her performances or albums ever been kid-friendly? 

It must have been when she recorded "Baby Boy" or the duet between she and Luther, "The Closer I Get To You"? No; I got it! It was when she recorded "Ego" and "Video Phone" or when she told us all about sleeping in her mans "T-shirt"? Nope! My bad; it was "Dance for You." Better yet! "Love On Top"!?

Be for real! The woman has always used sexual prowess and innuendos when creating her music, lyrics, and performances. You LOVED it before! You've always LOVED it! Bought albums, shirts, concert tickets. 

For as much as I've known; she's always taken her actual experiences, thoughts, feelings, or inner conscienceness as most all ARTISTS do and created her work with it!

Now she's in her thirties! She been through some thangs, she's experienced LOVE, and all the emotions and side-bars that go with her specific love and she's creating her work with her experiences. Maybe it's "Déjà Vu" to you? Or maybe you felt those experiences were "Irreplaceable" and they'd never be spoken of but I think it's ridiculous that now all of a sudden she's "too" explicit or classless? Why? Because she's not just using the term bitch anymore? She's not placing a finger over her lips when cursing or giving a sly grin? She doesn't say the word over a bass or other riff-type sound, now she's extended the vulgar language to four-letter words of her choice? Has her "persona" now exposed you for the person you truly are and, although she calls hers "another character" you're who you really are? Now's not the time to decide whom you really "belong to" by osterisizing the artist! You knew it all along! 

By the way; her exploits are with her HUSBAND meanwhile some of you use her music as a background for your "many" boyfriends! Hello?! (Wow)

So, why are you really mad? We all will sleep well. Trust. No one really cares. I'm just wondering why it was ever discussed in the first place. Ok. Bye!
