Scribbled in history books for some good and not-so-good reasons, 2016 brought with it some of modern music’s most memorable moments. Now, as the year draws to a close, TGJ is reflecting on 31 moments that rocked – and to some degree shaped – the Urban and Pop musical landscape as we know it.
Next, we’ll reflect on 2016’s greatest stings as imparted by Beyonce’s beloved #Beyhive:
Beyhive attack sports clothing brand Lululemon for accusing Bey of copying
Beyhive slam rapper Khia for giving ‘Lemonade’ a thumbs down
Beyhive slam Apple Music for alleged preferential treatment to Drake
Beyhive sting Rachel Roy – the alleged ‘Becky with the Good Hair’
Beyhive confuse Rachel ROY with Rachel RAY
Beyhive slam Iggy Azalea for saying the term “Becky” is racist
Beyhive sting controversial political commentator and author Anne Coulter
Beyhive sting country star Kenny Chesney for looking displeased with Bey’s CMA performance
Beyhive attack Stacey Dash for shading Bey’s mom
Beyhive drag ‘American Idol’ star La’Porsha for slamming Bey’s “butt-shaking” CMA performance
Beyhive slam Rihanna for implied Grammy shade
Beyhive hit #BoycottBeyonce campaign creator with death threats

Love my baddie Bey! She had them pressed and stressed this year, yet she remained unbothered. A true queen!
A QUEEN.
Love my baddie Bey! She had them pressed and stressed this year, yet she remained unbothered. A true queen!
If they would have focused my Minutemaid and it’s singles instead of all of this trolling, maybe Beyonce wouldn’t be going on 9 years without a #1 HIT. Or maybe the singles from this LP would’ve stayed on the charts and became HITS and not free fall right off on the second week. Happy 2017 tho. 🙂
It’s guys like you that make blacks look bad, jealous and uncivilised. You hate on this woman who is representing your race yet at the same time complain about white pop stars selling more bcoz of color. Sometimes put your hate aside and give credit where it’s due. Leave the drama for women you’re a disgrace to manhood. Stop being a b**** i bet you’re the girl in your relationship.
She represents creole a black woman would never denounce education and promote colorism, she is garbage, well packaged, choreographed garbage
Hop to the next d
I can do more than martin
This clown tool is a disgrace
I love bey but have to say anti is a much better album I’m still playing it but stopped playing lemonade like 3 months ago
Samsung should be proud…
I don’t get the fuss with anti I’m sure if rihanna was white you’d be bashing her and the album.
I’m white and I don’t bash anybody that’ was just my personal opinion Beyoncé has a far better back catalogue than Rihanna I’m just saying that I prefer anti and feel that Beyoncé has become too political and less radio friendly but I still live her
Yet lemonade has sold more. It’s one of the top 3 best selling releases of 2016.
I’m not denying her sales and it is a good album I just feel anti is better and when you look at Beyoncé back catalogue she has more radio friendly material than what’s on lemonade that’s all

Lemonade was garbage filled with white supremist and anti community dribble
Becky does NOT have good hair
Colorism is not a good look
And young queens should not be hopping to.the next d
The worship needs to end, this uneducated greedy narcissistic ego maniac is a destructive force, as intended, community wake up
Let’s keep it real in 2017, her and jay and their glamorization of drug dealing, materialism, anti education, colorism should be played out, should be
Pressed much?
Queen Bey just stays slaying, y’all haters can choke on that glass of hatred, Bey will remain in your faces whether you are pleased with it or nah. ?
lmao this blog (because it’s clearly not a credible source for news) is so tacky. cut out the bias you just might be able to receive a press invitation for the grammys lol
This just in. Beyonce is not God. I repeat Beyonce is not God. She cannot offer salvation, she cannot heal, nor can she turn water into wine. New information reports that she is just a mere mortal human being.
This album is straight trash, it couldn’t hold my interest. I only liked about 3 songs (Hold up, Daddy Issues and All night being my fav). It is almost as bad as B’Day.
Well In Your Opinion, which no one respects nor cares about

The professionals who’s opinions really matter gave it a 92% score on METACRITIC
.
Topped most of the year end critics charts
.
So youcan keep your trashy opinion for this coming November when R9 drops
To be very honest Beyoncé Rihanna and Drake own 2016…black artist owned 2016.
Impact wise:
Formation was the best video clip of the year for a female artist
Work was the best song released by a female artist.
Lemonade visual album was lit, own the talk …but Anti was the album that make most people dance, talk about on the street.
Beyoncé slayed 2016 with visual ( performance, video clip,ect…)
Rihanna slayed 2016 with sounds (charts, singles, streams, ect…)
Two different categories that’s why both owned this year…
Rihanna video clips were not that great this years…just the sound
Beyonce.sound were not that great …just the visual…
Lemonade would not be what it is without those visuals…
Omg haters are setting as always queen Bey is here to stay weather you haters like it or not she is talented smart she is loved by God good people and her beloved behives her album is the best long live Bey more success long happy life and career god and we your fans love haters don’t maters
I agree with fashion icon. I don’t have e either but there are more hits on anti. # no hating #truth
@iStan, still waiting for you to add me on Twitter. Click my name
Lmao! You know people are pressed when Auntie i being brought in a post that doesn’t even pertain to her. They say the Hive always bring up Rihérpés but not one Hive mentioned her. The Navy snuck their fav into this post seething as always.
.
Purpose AOTY Nomination —> Auntie????? ????
Beyoncé is a true queen. Get with it boo
Can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store. Hope we get some great music again like 2016.
Wish you all a great year.
Damn we were busy this year ??
Lmao pathetic individuals..death threats? A bunch of punks threatening people they wouldn’t do s*** in anybodys face
To be clear that fan base lost much of its credibility this year. I strongly recommend them sitting 2017 out or atleast until their fave’s numbers and chart positions match her hype because people are starting to see through these celebs fake b*******! Regardless of who a group of “internet thugs” stung she got roasted quite a few times this year from artist and their fans from almosy every genre including the CMA’s where she had no business to begin with! Better drop the wig, old routines, surprise albums about adultery and bowing down. Try something new or have a seat Mrs.Carter and #beehive!
Nice.
