Lemonade was released in April of 2016 and has become yet another critically acclaimed, best seller. You will never encounter anyone that needs to ask “Which Beyoncé?”īeyoncé has been making more headlines than ever, due to her latest album. These people stand on their own as pop culture phenomena. Yet there are those who exist on their own, no legacy of a last name, no titles, no “from that 90’s tv show”. Even Queen Elizabeth needs the “queen” at the front in order for people to understand the context. Most people are unrecognizable with a single name one cannot go around saying “you know Chris, that famous actor” and expect people to automatically know which Chris you are talking about. There are not many people in this world that can pull of the First Name Only business.


I decided to post it here to 1 have it saved for future reference and 2 so anyone who wants to read my ravings about Queen Bey can! Quick note: The following is an essay I wrote for my Introduction to Media Studies class last semester.
