With the world still vibrating after the debut of Beyonce‘s sixth studio album ‘Lemonade,’ attention has turned to who helped the diva create the set.
A perusal of the credits for the LP – which is her sixth – reveals Queen Bey to once again be at the forefront – having a heavy hand in the writing and production of all 12 songs. She also serves as executive producer of its accompanying short film.
Interestingly, though calling on familiar faces such as The-Dream and Boots from her previous projects, the 34-year-old enlisted a fresh batch of talent – including the UK’s MNEK and Carla Marie Williams. Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Wynter Gordon also features heavily.
Peep the full credits for ‘Lemonade’ below…

I would believe her because this album is a horrible mess, however given her history and track record, I would need a list of receipts.
tbh Anti sales is a horrible mess smh
My favs coming for AntiSuccess 3month albums sales in a week!! Kiii!!! You mad??? SEETHE BITXH SEETHE!!!!
She needs to top Anti on Tidal first, I don’t see it on the top 20
Rihanna said in 2015 said her album would be classic, timeless, and something should could be proud to perform/sing 20-30yrs from now! Fast ford to 2016 you guys got “Work” a generic mess off a generic mess of an album! What happened to her “Ray of Light Moment”? Rihanna has a track record of having little to do with her album writing, producing, vocal arrangemnts etc… I suggest you keep your mouth shut and continue to stan for that mediocre goat before coming for Queen B!
Gurl you have time to write all of that? You should use that time to stream Koolaid so it can enter the top 20 on Tidal
Track record and history? Well God makes pencils with erasers for a reason. NEXT!
Get her a number one then come brag yall hives know it’s the same tired mess all the time she is no adele who knows how to write and sing about relationships gone wrong please even rih take last album hype one day when people hear the foolishNess it dies down no one want to picture ugly Jayz and her trust it hurt my eyes
Don’t come for the H.B.I.C unless I summon you
You can buy writing credit on an album I’m sure blue helped with a word or two we all know this b**** cannot articulate anything
Bitxh practice. WHAT THE FUXK YOU PREACH AND GET THE.FUXK OUT OF THE QUEENS POST!!! YOU MAD CAUSE ANTISOLD OUT TOUR IS FAILING TO GROSS 1M FROM A SINGLE.DATE? YOU MAD CAUSE FRIHANNA’S ALBUM IS FLOPPING WORLDWIDE KIII!!! YOU MAD CAUSE BEYONCÉ SHOWED THIS BITXH YOU STAN FOR WHAT AN ANTI ALBUM REALLY IS KIII!!!
lets just wait till the official release then we can all spill our cannon of worms
Serena Williams Twerking on the Street of Florida (Video)|CREEBHILLS BLOG REVIEW’
White people on yahoo dragging her for filth you know tidal going to lie about her numbers the bosses wife will get privilege they inflate Kanye numbers
Album of the year
I honestly dont know how to feel about the album I only listened once I do know good music, I will listen again with an open mind, I am not a Beyonce stan I stan for no one but I do know the girl is very talented. Its amazing there are so many writers for the quality of songs I’ve heard so far.
The fact Daddy Lessons is her first time taking on a Countey/BlueGrass song and critic’s and fans agree its good! PS she produced the majority of that song kiii!!! SLAY BISH!!! CHANGED THE GAME WITH THAT ALBUM FLIM DROP!!!
Sure girl time for sucking up she buys critics they scared to tell the truth why did formation not chart Jay is known to buy people to say good things gtfoh
Critics and stabs options mean nothing. It’s the regular music lover to decide. Critics want to please, stans want to worship and the general music lover wants just that… music to love.
Her previous album was better than this, but tbh the quality in her music has been decreasing for years.
Lmfao you talk as if your some music lover. If you would have read any of my other comments on the other post, you’d know i’ve been going by general music lovers opinions. All in all its been positive reviews from numerous none bey fans. So dismiss yourself and learn to reply when you have the full story.
.
@rosy3 bixh you have an answer for everything! Take the fuxking L you illiterate third world slum dwelling H I V infested Harlet and stay pressed over that thot you stan for.
@hail unless you have the power to dismiss me, keep quiet.
You’re on here talking as if you’re a big time journalist or critic. You come back when you have some credentials instead of some made up story you decided to construct.
And I mean real credentials.
Lmfao bitxh stfu! You’ve bern dismissed pleasant! Critic’s and the GP are agreeing, the album is cohesive and possibly her best to date! It’s funny how you want to tell me to comeback when I have some credentials, yet I’ve been posting reviews from top publications with more credentials than You or I. Yet here you are discrediting them lmao! Dismiss yourself you contradicting fuxk!
I have just refreshed the Tidal top 20 albums and Koolaid is still not on that list, why? I thought everyone was hyped about this album, I thought everyone was tweeting about it, I thought the hive are enjoying this album.
‘
This proves that those reviews are pre-written and paid for, and the hive have not listened to this album. If they did, it would be in the top 20 but no.
‘
I see Prince at #1, Pablo at #2, Anti at #3 but no Koolaid.
‘
#WhereIsKoolaidOnTheTidalCharts
#460 and her first week sales will slay Anti!
But where is Koolaid in the top 20 on Tidal? I don’t see it? Why aren’t you hive paying for Tidal, too expensive?
Ivy park and formation flop under the bubbling under sewage
What happened to Rhianna’s “Ray of Light” moment ?
Why you so bothered dude? why you all up on Beyonce’s posts spreading your negativity!! ANTI WAS GENERIC and S***… At least lemonade is an artistic expression, highlighting a meaningful topic. Meanwhile you got dice rolling in her P***Y as a video..
you need to take a seat, and from what i hear theres plenty empty ones at the ANTI tour, don’t worry about the HIVE (we GOOD)
Are you SERIOUSLY waiting to see the album pop up on TIDAL CHARTS for credibility? Do you even hear how that sh*t sounds? You are so bored. Tidal is a hot a$$ mess itself and their system is nothing to rely on. Their site has been crashing all night due to this album since you need SOMETHING to go on. Sit your ass down and at least let the album go on sale before you start trying to shade numbers queen. You might be the first to gag smfh
I like Daddy lessons and All night though @Mark111
That’s a load of cow feces she did not write anything. Probably “co-wrote”.
Co-wrote is a form of writing dumb ass!
Doesn’t matter whether its a word, verb, or proverb, if someone has a writing credit on a song, they contributed somehow.
No. In order to qualify as a songwriter you have to come up with the melody, be able to replicate it, and set the lyrics to the melody IN TUNE with the melody.
If you change a word, punctuation or vocal delivery of an already composed melody and tune that’s called PERFORMANCE not WRITING. She claimed she “wrote” “Listen” but she was not on the list of people nominated for the Oscar precisely because she had nothing to do with the composition of the song which is what the oscar is for. Beyonce is NOT a songwriter, she’s a singer. Keep believing her bully propaganda I won’t.
IM STILL LAUGHING AT HOW THE SLAVI SAID ANTI CHANGES THE GAME KIII!!!! What did AntiSuccess change again??? What was so innovative about her project??? ??????
Well, shes shown her bare n****** in every music video that she’s released this far. That’s gotta count for something right? Lol
The album is cohesive and tells a story about the journey through emotions women go through when being cheated on. Lyrically her best album. Are there any singles.. Doubt it. But it is CLEAR that this a BODY OF WORK and not meant to be taken apart and sold separately.
I don’t think she’ll release singles from this.. I may be wrong. The album is above that. L
Get them credits bey. This was an experience and I understand a few things I didn’t before through lyrics and poetry
I always bragged about having Apple Music on Twitter ??
The Documentary on HBO was really good though. Did Jay Z cheat on her? Is that why Solange whooped his ass in that elevator?
I thoroughly believed this all came from a honest place. He cheated. Probably been cheating
Agree. That n**** better get in formation and learn that he has the hootest chick in the game. If he did then he’s a dumbass, but I wonder with who though??
Kiii did you see the Meme of Solange saying “Now y’all know why Jay got that Ass beating!” ???????????
I was SCREAMING!! Now I have to sit and wait patiently for Ms Yonce to drop the album on Apple/I Tunes.
Solange must’ve been watching sipping on some of mamas lemonade thinking.. “I was the promo for this shiz”
KIIIIIIIII ?????
Who cares if Jay cheat on her ass bey looks boring yall call her a queen I guess her p**** ain’t good she a frozen queen and her same old songs about a man cheating ain’t empowering no one but the hood rats are still going to keep the broke men with no job living up in their section A girl bye
Sam is reaching though.. Produced and wrote entire album???? Creatively produced I understand but let’s not undermine the work of others
Yeah I love Bey but Sam reached real far. I was expecting to see no one else’s name but Beyonce’s lol
She works with a great team and they deserve credit as well
She a theif and claim other people work as hers it’s not new you can pay blu ivy to write songs blu has more vocabulary than bey and Sam will put anything up where is the post that formation and ivy blu flopping he puts up rih post on everything
Are people gonna come for Bey since 12 writers are listed on 6 inch too?!?!
I see her doing at least 500k-600k opening week. Once she put them on all platforms of course. How’s Anit doing?
Anti’s barely sold 600K world wide after THREE MONTHS.
But she’s the ‘”Black Madonna” ??
Right! I’m still waiting for that timeless “Ray of Light” moment to happen…..
Don’t hold your breath Tyler ?
If I held my breath for that long I’d be dead lol. I value my life
Lies it’s sold 800k worldwide
I wanna hear that song with Kendrick so bad?
Tidal won’t allow you a free trial? I signed up when Anti came out and they, for some reasom,n, extended my trial by another 30 days. I’ve never entered parent info lmao… I’m enjoying tf out of Lemonade right now!!! Currently on “Love Drought” that & 6 Inch go HARD AF!!! And Don’t Hurt Yourself its very different for her but soooo sassy I’m loving it!

And Don’t Hurt Yourself its very different for her but soooo sassy I’m loving it!
Not Lovebird trying to shade Beyoncé, when the only thing Rihanna contributes to the studio sessions are Blowjobs and Coke.
Let’s not forget alcohol, cigarettes, and black n milds
Lmao. The navy is such a flop.
LOL LET’S ALSO NOT FORGET #1 HIT AFTER #1 HIT ON THE CHARTS. CAN THOTYONCE SAY THAT? LMAO
Beyonce “co-wrote and co-produced” almost all of the songs on ALL her albums so this cheap shot at shade is eons late even for YOU girls. NEXTTTTTTT.
Some of these are just added on credits. I don’t believe that the one minute interlude (forward) preformed only by the singer, song writer, producer James Blake was co written and co produced by Beyoncé… I just don’t believe it!
The song Sorry has a thousand writers so that’s possible and some of the others due to the skilled artists they are in their own right were not assisted by Beyoncé. She needs to stop this.
Prove it.
Will somebody please give the haters several pitchers full of Lemonade? They are clearly BEYhydrated ??
The Hive are an absolute joke! They actually think that this shiitty album release is an “event”?
–
Nobody gives a f**** about what Beyonce is doing right now besides her dumbass black stans! She did the same boring shiit with BEYONCÉ and it was cool then but tried to repeat the same shiit and now… nobody cares when it’s done a second time! Also, the fact that she released it to tidal.. LMFAOOOOOO! It only dampened the momentum!
–
For her sake, I hope the album goes 5X PLATINUM in the U.S (like her dumb fans in the U.S claim) and sells 10 MILLION WW (like they claim also)! Isn’t this going to be Beyonces best selling album,even beating DIL?
–
F**** this boring biitch and her fake ass album, trying to be deep!
Dumb ass black stans?
I’m highly offended by your comment. Therefore I suggest that you stfu or else you will inflicted with great pain and suffer from STAGE THREE cancer
I don’t know you.

You don’t know me.

This is the Internet and a random urban blog where people can say whatever they want.

Get the f**** outta here, niggerr and take a hike! Can’t stand dumb black biitches like yourself! Get a fuxxking life also! This is the last time I’ll respond to you also so… goodbye.
I like salt on my cracker.
Her dumb black fans!!!!!! Wow you racists are in full force.
thanks for outing yourself as a racist
A gumbo of genres with structure and STRUCTURE is the most important word.
Congrats to all involved in this piece of art cus one thing for sure it’s not one dimensional sonically.
LB would you please prove that you have a TIDAL subscription
I know we dont use each other cause i came for your fav, but @WreckedButtholes broke ass doesn’t have a Tidal sub. He literally admitted it in one of the other post, asking @Marsha how the album was because he knew he had a sub to Tidal kiii!!!
Her best album IMO after Sasha Fierce and 4
This will flop so hard
.
Ciara’s next era will slay her into hiding
.
Jesus take the wheel and run every red light and stop sign….The Lord is going to get you for that.#Funnnnny
hahaahaaaaaha joke of the month
delusional
Can’t wait for that iTunes link it also better be a deluxe edition
I don’t wanna lose my pride, but umma FÜCK ME UP A BÏTCH!!!!! ?????????????? #MyInboxStillEmpty *Sips tea doused with fresh LÉMONS!*
DEATH!!!! THE FACT THAT THOSE ARE LEGIT BEY LYRICS KIII!!! SHE UNDERSTANDS US ??? LMFAO!!!
KIIII those were the EXACT words I needed! Beysus is listening to our prayers sis!
Never realised just how obsessed the EBØLA-Lamb/AssholeLIYAH was with me? The kii is he used to drag aaliyah all the time last year and is now hiding behind her. That HŒ can suck my 25-inch D*CK! #SeansMonsterCøckCùmsAgain #MËSS
OKAY I LOVE IT!!
This is selftitled x 10. The entire film was cohesive and had a great theme of empowerment and self-worth. If this doesn’t get album of the year then we really know wassup with the nominations!!!
___
My faves so far are HOLD UP, SORRY, 6 INCH + ALL NIGHT.
Album of the Year already belongs to either Adele’s 25 or David Bowie’s (an actual musician) BlackStar. Start accepting that loss now.
This album shíts on Adeles FACT! As for Davids idk haven’t heard it.
Of course that’s what your racist ass wants ?????? your automatic hatred for black people is worrying !!!!
For the record if Adele wins, At least she is a worthy adversary. Although I like Beck, we ALL know he didn’t earn that award last year!
I like how the majority of songs have like 10 different writers. I’m sure Thighyonce came up with a word or two or had a thesaurus on hand to offer adjectives to get those credits LMAO!
And the Kii is that Beyonce could write a single word or an entire verse, and still cash in a songwriters cheque and get paid the same!! ??? Sucks doesn’t it!!!!! ????
The Double KII is that she will continue to get royalties from those songs regardless of whether she wrote 1% of it or 99% of it??? get in formation sis! B ain’t going no müthafuxking where!!!!
I’m not concerned with her getting those royalties babe. Everyone knows how the music industry works. I’m here having a kii at people thinking she’s some kind of lyricist.
Bahahaha!!!
Daddy Lessons is so cute! I’m happy that Beyonce and her father are finally in a better place. The scene with Mathew and Blue was too cute!!!! Blue definitely loves the camera and is a lil star in the making! ???
Sis the Critic’s and GP are eating that song up! I can’t at that review saying “Where’s Beyonce’s CMA?” ????
.
Kiii speaking of Beysus, I came across this review and they legit had a little prayer at the end LMFAOOOO!!!

SIS I’m en route to Sunday service to ask my pastor to anoint my edges, cuz Beysus SNATCHED them out last night.
–
Yassss the critics are eating this album up and washing it down with LEMONADE!!! Beyonce once again has changed the mùthafûcking game. All I know is that there better be physical copies tomorrow or at least digital. She deserves every cent for this masterpiece !
I swear Beyonce is behind this account
https://mobile.twitter.com/lovelymissJJ/tweets
honestly her worst album ever , 6′ has potential because of the weeknd . done . u tried bey
Pfff this is loool. Mariah Carey and Madonna have been writing or at least co-writing their own songs since the very beginning, they are the co-writer and co-producer of most of their songs, albums and videos. TGJ never made a big article about that when a Madonna or an MC album released in the past, so I don’t understand this article, why is Bey Bey so extraordinary… (i love her and her music, just Don’t u derstand the big crush on the fact that Bey is just the last of 10 to 15 names on each song! ?
In other words, Beyoncé paid a blot of people to sign over there song rights…enough said.
THe album is bananas! I had to listen again. She is showing real relationship emotions what women go through. I can relate to this album. Man, it’s incredible that she is addressing her feelings through her songs. She is telling the truth and some people still find something to hate on. Which is very stupid. I applaud Beyonce for keeping it real. O and don’t get me started on her father. How much real do yall want her to get.
And why is that interesting? Other artists e.g. Mariah Carey or Adele or Madonna do this since their Day 1.
I hate to say this but it sounds like Beyonce wrote this because it sounds like her. Sadly I only like maybe 3 songs . Sorry, hold up, 6 inches, I will listen again and maybe like more. But right now I’m liking Rihanna album more . But I will still support bey. I applaud her and rih though caused their last albums are definitely different from anything they have done in the past.
#bowdown
I have no desire to listen to the album again. Her best work will forever be Bday.
LOL TGJ really trying it. Of course she appears in the credits. Rihanna does too, and nobody f****** believes either of them write their songs. Just no, and we know it. She may contribute something which is great, and she´s obviously in chanrge of what happens in her career and with her albums (unlike Rihanna), bur great songwriter just no, sorry.
Anyway, since this is full of Rihanna and Beyonce stans and nothing else nowadays I don´t know if someone unbiased will be able to tell me: but, was the album good? Better or worse than “Beyonce”? Serious question. Just interested in music.
The perfect guy to ask this question to would be @suicideblonde but he disappeared a while ago, maybe too many drugs 🙂
Oh one last thing: I´m not going to read all the comments in this post and all the previous ones about the release, I´m sure Rihanna fans have left many comment and Beyonce fans too and both have argueed about the same things as always, but just to be clear: I´m no Beyonce fan as everybody knows and there are more talented people out there even now at teh moment when mainstream is so low quality, BUT one thing is for sure: she destroys Rihanna in every possible way. The thought of Rihanna fans always feeling themselves so damn much and thinking they can come for everybody when the girl cannot f****** sell a damn album and her entire career is based on single after single and now on streaming (her career almost died last year when trying to do something with a little bit more quality), not to mention she is talentless. beyonce can sing, can f****** perform and she has really become an album seller of nowadays poor industry, she has never been on Adele, mariah, Celine and the likes album seller level, but she is one of the strongest nowadays. She destroys Rihanna point blank period!
Why don’t you listen to the album and judge for yourself? No one cares to read your endless banter. ?
I read it, and I appreciated it.
I´m not in a hurry since I´m not a fan liek I said. I´ll do it. I thought it wasn´t available or something. Wasn´t this an exclusive release for tv or something? But thanks for your input I guess 🙂
B&B
Thanks.
Mrs Carter has done it AGAIN!!!!!! Poor Rihanna will probably slit her wrists with a coconut after she sees the slayage. She could NEVER.
LOL QUEEN RIRI IS UNBOTHERED, SITTING PRETTY AT NUMBER ONE AND LAUGHING HER A** OFF AT THIS TRY HARD VERSION OF ANTI LMAO
#THATRIHANNAIMPACT
Hasn’t Anti only sold 370K?
Queen Wynter Gordan writing 3 songs for beyonce! I knew it when I heard Wynter’ s vocals and harmonization on that one song! Y’all know Bey will change the to Da’ and or Smack into Smash just to get a writing credit.
One word writing credentialing queen.
Producer? She probably said I want 808’s, I want arpeggio synths, I want the background vocals hard panned to the left and right but I have a hard time believing she played any instruments and arranged these things herself. But nonetheless, the music was amazing.
I queen bey over did her self this album is one her best work I love it so much proud fan than you bey for a,ways for giving your all
I mean she “write” all her songs, even songs with already recorded demos years before Beyonce got to them. Now that’s power.
With Beyonce, she has a live line up of performances for these songs and will give it so much more impact than it already has. 6 Inch will slay all the way
I guess that’s why I only like two songs. She still had a plethora of writers for the lyrical content to be so juvenile. Suck on my balls pause.
Now who really think she wrote anything?????….Money talks…Beyonce just added to what was already written
At the end of the day, bey has creatively taken control of her songs and singing them the way she wants to. While your fav is copying a track exactly how it was giving to them. That’s the difference.
HA! So basically Beyonce forced every songwriter to give her a songwriting credit — as per usual.
I hate that everyone’s giving Beyoncé so much artistic credit. The title of the article should be Co-Wrote & Co-Produced Entire Album.
I’m not gonna lie, it is a good album but c’mon she’s far behind other artists with that amount of writers and producers per song. I see her more as a product than as an artist. I’ve never heard producers talk about her work on the studio the way other producers have talked about working with Mariah or Janet for example.
