What a stupid comment. Please delete your Kinja now.

Reminds me of the guy just doing his job by asking for Dale Earnhardt Jr’s credentials when he tried to reenter the track.

Maybe we shouldn’t put 9000 people on a boat at once.

I went hard on Accelerated reader. The Pizza was an added bonus. I’d actually get pretty pissed at the kids I “knew” were lying. As an adult i realize it’s part of a toxic cycle meant to teach you to judge people based on assumptions.

You call it a bribe, I call it an incentive to lie.

Yeah, the metrics for those things were not meant to account for single pedal driving either.

Straight from the playbook. It reminds me, post Trayvon Martin, talks of how people planning on using “Stand Your Ground” as a defense have these cue cards that tell them what to say to the 911 dispatcher and cops.

So.... non-existent?

Given the article says there was a witness that says the opposite, I must ask what is the basis of your belief?

Loooool. She really said “You’re a Black man approaching a white woman.”
She has really leaned into using her own body as an instrument of terror.

We are in 100% agreement here, that what Kelis did was pretty shitty in the way she came at Beyonce. I just don’t think that she is , in the context of what’s right is right speaking, wrong here. I land on the legitimate gripe side, despite the legal issues. I am also 102% confident that if Kelis had simply asked…

1. First off “Understanding the history you are faking” is by far the most non-sensical phrase I have read all month. more like multitudes of nonsens, amirite!

|2. Bruh, she was 24 years old. Yes, she was still new to the industry and she has talked in the past about how Pharrell screwed her out of ownership of that…

1a. You are incorrect. Kelis’ wrote the lyrics of Milkshake. Chad Hugo and Pharrell, who produced the track, took advantage of Kelis’ being new in the industry. Just like how Sting is listed as the songwriter on I’ll be watching you despite Alex creating the iconic riff. Sting is literally the only person that gets…

Sorry, I forgot the Aave range on the root is broad. 

Absolutely incorrect. The song on Beouonces album is Beyonce’s. She can credit whomever she wants as songwriter; both actual and perceived.

Everyone is familiar with not biting the hand that feeds you, but fewer people have the ability to not bite the hand that *could* feed you.

She most certainly does have a point. Pharrell and Chad screwed her on Milkshake in the first place. This is industry knowledge. You can give Beyonce the benefit of doubt in not immediately recognizing the problem because like most people "know", Milkshake is Kelis' song. Not N.E.R.D's. Beyonce would have had an…

This might be the best compliment I've ever gotten on Al Gore's internet. 

Dang. Kelis had a point and chose the dirty laundry method, perfected by Monique, as a response. As a result, contributing to her own erasure.
I assume this is the result she wanted, because if she wanted credit she probably could have asked and been granted. Without evidence, I like to think of Beyonce as pretty…
