Is Beyonce the greatest Pop star of the 21st century? The good people at Billboard sure seem to think so.
In the wake of the multiple records broken by her seventh studio album ‘Renaissance’ and its lead single ‘Break My Soul’ (both sitting at #1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 respectively this week), some of the Music Bible’s staff weighed the impact of the LP critically and commercially.
Collectively, they not only assessed the 16-song set is one of her best deliveries to date but argued its addition to her already stellar discography served as proof she is the best Pop offering to come out of the millennium yet.
More inside.
Writers Stephen Daw, Kyle Denis, Jason Lipshutz, Taylor Mims, and Andrew Unterberger took to Billboard.com to hold a digital “round table” of sorts to discuss ‘Renaissance.’
When not analyzing which of the album’s tunes should serve as the official follow-up to ‘Break My Soul,’ the quintet examined the project’s cultural impact and how well it stacks up against its precedessors in Bey’s discography.
All-in-all, their appraisal led them to one conclusion: she’s the greatest. Once the moderator quizzed the fivesome on if she “is the greatest pop star of the 21st century,” their responses were almost unanimous.
“Stephen Daw: Is it rude to say “duh?” I’m not even sure who else would fit that moniker other than Beyoncé…
Kyle Denis: Yes.
Jason Lipshutz: Yes. No. Maybe? I have no idea! I can’t give a simple answer to this question because I feel like my answer changes every few months… and if that’s a cop-out, then so be it. All I’ll say is that Beyoncé’s greatness is undeniable.
Taylor Mims: Absolutely not a simple question, but yes.
Andrew Unterberger: Yes.”

Damn b**** take yo foot off they necks for a min!!!!!!
That’s what her Multiple dead un.born babies said. Take your foot off my neck mommy
Where you at, Jynkx?
Oh so now you’re looking for me to comment everywhere? 😁 you for your priorities f*cked up and I love it, stay obsessed 😘
Nope. Looking for you to stop comment patrolling others and leave them to their opinions, especially when you don’t keep the same energy with everybody and when it’s an artist you don’t like
You are a hypocrite and aren’t consistent in your so-called “beliefs”
🕺🏾
WOOF!
I talk to whoever the F I want and you don’t have a thing to say about it 😂 stay pressed and swallow 😘
You’re mad because you just exposed yourself again, you want me to beef with everyone so you can claim that I fight with everyone next 😂 We see you 👀 you can’t help but to expose yourself again and again and I love it.
“Stay pressed and swallow”
So now we get to the heart of what it’s really all about – you have no one to swallow your jiizzz. Your rage and lashing out finally makes sense, you’re sexually frustrated
🕺🏾
WOOF!
Like Whitney said
That’s what her Multiple dead un.born babies said. Take your foot off my neck mommy
And a HATER in the comment section will still call her a flop and washed up and say she’s done but they fave has never or could never measure up.
EXACTLY!! At this point, it’s grossly obvious that the naysayers are just explicitly jealous. Like even if the music ain’t your cup of tea, she’s the most unproblematic person on the planet. It’s like hating sunshine. And I get it, I’d want more for faves too but not so much that it makes me an ugly, disgusting, HATER.
You’re calling people “onigga”.Racist loser
Nobody jealous of a baby killer
Was it worth losing multiple babies
And Don’t forget thief and devil worshiper
Several miscarriages to be Beyonce
Where is Jynkx and his “comment patrolling” now?
🕺🏾
All I see is you asking me to comment everywhere to give yourself an excuse to complain because I comment on everyone 😂 you’re so weak, I got you really obsessed and mad like no other 🤣
No. Looking for you to stop comment patrolling others and leave them to their opinions, especially when you don’t keep the same energy with everybody and when it’s an artist you don’t like
You are a hypocrite and aren’t consistent in your so-called “beliefs”
You have been exposed
The only one mad is your mama at birthing the spawn of Satan and a flip-flopping little b**** of a “man”
🕺🏾
WOOF!
No reply yet as you’re currently still too busy logged in to your Shaylafan account
We see you. There is no hiding
🕺🏾
WOOF!
You don’t see nothing but everything you already do with your fake accounts you like to switch anytime you hit a wall 😂
Imagine if Beyonce was one of those losers that spent the whole day reposting their accomplishments and accolades (like Nicki Ma-n****). I mean she would literally never stop cause they come in by the hour. That’s why humility pays off well and it’s so obscure to find in artists these days. Onigga should take a lesson
Why are you starting fake beef between the Hive and the barbs? Beyoncé just shouted Nicki out on her song remix. Get a life
Stfu idiot Nicki and Beyoncé two black queens that don’t depend on payola like your hood rat illiterate fave cardis an entire flop now. You did see how her last single did right?
Period!!!! And is!!!!!😎😎😎
✔️
Beyonce is the greatest entertainer of this generation. There is no king for the male entertainers this generation, not since Michael jackson. beyonce the’ king & queen of this generation
She is the Queen. Not a King. That crown is entirely too heavy
Congratulations Queen! 👑 Meanwhile, H******** B was lucky to make the Top 20 and had that second album shelved 💯
So you got a s******* and an h******** B? That’s what happens when you’re always talking about opening your legs to strangers.
You’re accusing women of having diseases now? You are a disgusting human being
PRESSURELICIOUS AKA Shayla, bad timing ladyboy 😂 gtfo with all your fake accounts, you need some help 🤡
I can lick it, I can ride it while you slippin and slidin. I can do all them little tricks and keep the dïćk up inside it. You can smack it, you can grip it, you can go down and kiss it. And every time he leave me ‘lone, he always tell me he miss it 💋💋💋💋
Now i’m waiting for your apologise because you ask me to do it to people that insults me for free, so what are you waiting for? 😂 I like the fact that there’s too many comments of you talking that bad and dirty to everyone, you are such a sick problem, I think your s******* is actually ending you up.
You’ll be waiting a very long time
WOOF!
Then don’t ask others to apologise when you’re all about hate, harassment and run with your fake accounts of psychopath 😘
Long live the thief.
You ever stop hating b****?
You’re still looking for someone to use your hole on TGJ? 😂
“Shayla Queen™ 👑August 14, 2022
Congratulations Queen! 👑 Meanwhile, H******** B was lucky to make the Top 20 and had that second album shelved 💯”
This is not hate for CARDI? Gtfo dumbass 😂

Says the one that talk about me when I don’t even talk about her 😂 we all know you’re mad and obsessed 😘 keep using those fake accounts, that’s all you have.
All you do for last week is talk about her b****! Annoying ass!
@Use
Yet he said he NEVER talks or gossips about anyone and that karma is coming for anyone that does lmaoooooooooo 🤣 He cray cray until the END chile!
That’s what happen when you harass someone and bully him for no reason 😂 you thought I would let you play the fool without fighting back that boy? Sit down and eat some receipts, you’re been doing this years now.
Just stfu annoying ass!
Never, cry about it psychopath 😘
The only one who stays crying about every damn thing is you
🕺🏾

Just a regular day for queen bey 💕
Congrats! Beyoncé is a legend, period.
Congrats
Please stop this Jinkx account fighting with everybody he is a jinks to this site. This post is about beyonce
How many fake accounts do you have Shayla? You call me a hater for saying “thief” about Beyoncé but you can call Whitney crackhead and Cardi H********? 😂 stop embarassing yourself.
You have been ended. Seek refuge
WOOF!
@Glitterbomb
SCREAMING! 🤣
🕺🏾
You can’t help but to expose yourself 😂 it’s so damn funny, you’re so weak.
Shayla is a sad pathetic loser on this site and we know it’s him making all of these accounts. He’s also “fancy bish” troll account. girl. Don’t even waste your time on it we all already believe you. 🤷♂️
Everytime you play that game it’s me alone VS you and all your accounts, and I have receipts of you asking people to harass me so what you’re gonna do now? Play the victim? You need some help 😉
So we are all the same person because we are calling him out? You are the fake account because you’ve never been on here before
@Lanafan, thank you! I’m glad to read it 🙏
Wasn’t directed towards me right? I’m not Shayla
Not JUNKZ making yet another fake account to back himself up… SCREAMING! 🤣
Did you really think anyone that reads those article always comment? I’ve been watching in silents for years, I know who you are and you will never have any toxic power on me 😘 everybody knows the truth about your hating ass : too many receipts, keep on exposing yourself please.
Shayla get some help sis.
Yes it was Lanafan. Why so angry and starting a fight? Are you the Jynk account?
No @shayla/Pressurelicious I’m simply just calling you out. 🤷♂️
@Lanafan thanks for the support, I really appreciate 🙏
And since you played the same scenario on the FLO and Megan post, harassing me with all of your fake accounts while I was talking about MUSIC and YOU said listening to FLO = being gay, so you are here to judge everyone? 😂 clown sh*t, you’re too weak Shayla.
@Lanafan of course, I put an @Lanafan when I answer to you.
That’s dumb when we are only 22 years into the century. Ppl may feel that way about an artist in 2030 or 2050 or 2085! I’m not saying she’s not great I’m just saying its hard to say artist of the century when we aren’t even a quarter into the century wtf lol.
Congrats to Queen Bey! The Renaissance is here!
This site does wayyy to much Beyoncé worship 😂😭 I swear y’all are not well. However I do love Beyoncé and it’s actually not THAT far fetched but kind of is. I guess act 2 and 3 will let us know our answer.
I’ma leave these pigs rolling around in the mud and stay fighting amongst themselves, congratulate the Queen and keep it moving lmaoooooooooo! 🤣
Yaaaas gtfo and cure that s******* darling.
Obsessed b****!
Too many receipts of you being obsessed with me, nice try 😘 swallow that karma
You are the toxic one spreading yourself around here like a disease, “darling”
🕺🏾
One more thing:
WOOF!
You can fool yourself as long as you want, get that bone and eat it in silence girl 😘
Shayla get some help sis..🤦
Maybe change your name to Shaylafan, it seems much more appropriate
🕺🏾
Then change yours to Jynkxfan and Lanafan 😘
Shayla and all her fake accounts need to be expose for good. He/she’s always insulting artists like Whitney (calling her crackney), Cardi b (h********) and the list goes on and on… he/she spreads hate non stop on that blog, claimed numerous times “We run things here”, refused to respect others while claiming “I will say whatever the F I want”. He/she also threats people, emulate others account to make these psycho scenarios of a fake victim, uses multiple account to try to create a bad reputation with lies just to ask later to get that person out when he/she always harass/insult everyone and ask others to bully them. That Shayla is a toxic problem here, TGJ needs to call out that crazy toxic one.
In case you hadn’t noticed, that’s the way we talk here – STAN WARS. If you want rainbows and butterflies you’re in the wrong place. If you’re going to call one out keep the same energy and call them all out. You are over-emotional and beyond help
🕺🏾
WOOF!
Oh really? Then why you call me out when I say “thief” to Beyoncé? Why you’re using all these toxic strategy to make me leave? You don’t wanna no beef with me? Fine, stay outta my way because i’m no weak player.
No it’s not! It’s how grown nasty miserable evil trolls who can’t Converse like a regular adults behave. Speak for yourself
You just proved my point – you do it too, hypocrite
WOOF!
And stop pretending i’m a hater while asking TGJ to get me out when you finally prove me right about YOUR behavior, the one you call out about me (when i don’t even do a quarter of your mad sh*t) but now you tell me that it’s all good cause it’s STAN WARS. Make it makes sense.
@jynxk shaylas also left numerous Unnecessarily racist comments, Talking about putting a knee on George Floyd’s neck! Smh and he says that’s how Stan a act! No! That’s how evil grown miserable trolls behave.
THIEF, this is not even an insult, you call Whitney crackney, Cardi h******** and I cannot say Beyoncé is a thief? 😂 we are not the same, you are toxic and trash, I am sane and smart. Boom 🙏
I’ve already deemed the case closed so save your tears
Moving onto the next case…
🕺🏾
WOOF!
@jynxk shaylas also left numerous Unnecessarily racist comments, Talking about putting a knee on George Floyd’s neck! Smh and he says that’s how Stans act! No! That’s how evil grown miserable trolls behave. Sick.
Why is thatgrapejuice deleting my comment on Shayla? That was my 3rd time trying to write that? Hmm
@Lanafan you’re sooo right! That’s the true tea.
Everyone is entitled to their own political opinion and to vote according to their own beliefs. That does not make one racist
WOOF!
Excuses all the time, and then you want to call me out when you’re the worst? LMAO I love what I see right now 😀
Making fun of someone’s racially motivated murder to make someone feel hurt is both evil and racist.
Damn! Shayla lives rent free in your minds!
We live rent free in YOUR mind and that’s why you’re still here looking for someone to use your holes instead of calling out the worst i guess. Subscribe to a g***** account and gtfo with your holes, we’re here for the music, not your dirty ass.
All that talk aint say s*** she still live in your mind b****!
@shayla. Dude how many accounts are you gonna use?
Coming from Jynkx’s own second account
🕺🏾
WOOF!
@Lanafan he/she always switch accounts when he/she hit a wall, always the same.
Second account? I don’t need any second account 😂 I never needed a second account to kick your weak ass.
@shayla us queens don’t have time for a peasant troll 🤳🤳💯👑💋
These drag queens are clowns 🤡
@fancy/Shayla tiered of switching accounts yet or??? Crazy no life troll.
Even when an account has your back, you still think it’s Shayla?
Your poor mental health really is beyond help
🕺🏾
WOOF!
Claims the one telling me I have a second account 😂 go ahead and get that cure 🙏
I would except there is no cure for a disease like you
🕺🏾
WOOF!
When and where did I say Lanafan was Shayla? I said Lana thanks for the support, what the F are you talking about now? 😂 you are a lost cause, get that cure quick.
Where is your “comment patrolling” for the above comments made above by What Would Whitney Do?
I told you that you are a hypocrite and you continue to prove me and the rest of us right
🕺🏾
WOOF!
And I don’t give a damn about you being so pressed 😂 l’m so glad Lanafan was here to expose your trolling ass with more information. Stay mad and keep wasting your time talking that sh*t, we love to watch you exposing yourself.
The only thing that has been exposed is that you are emotionally unstable and completely unhinged
🕺🏾
WOOF!
Delusional and damn funny 😂 keep eating your bone like a good dog and stay pressed 😘
Lol Shayla can’t except defeat that’s always been your biggest problem. Shayla, nows the time to prove yourself as a better person and just own up to it instead of trying to fight back. Will you do it? I doubt it. In fact I bet you’ll keep up the lies and fake accounts. It’s sad Shayla really sad.
Yes, I am Shayla and I’m really sorry 🙄
Delusional
🕺🏾
WOOF!
Grow up Shayla
@Lanafan that psycho already said numerous times “I run things here, this is MY place, i’m the Queen” so i’m not surprised about that attitude, we should write a psychological study about her.
And that exactly I’ve been backing you up! It’s Disgusting and disturbing Shayla thinks she can change her persona into a good person whenever she feels on and off like a switch. She’s also very Unnecessarily anti-black talking about how she kneels on George Floyd’s neck. Smh
These declarations are nothing but white guilt.
Here you go agian. When your backs against the wall go to race. Your opinion is your opinion. So that fine. Looks like you didn’t get what you wanted.
It’s okay to have an opinion. Lol now what?
@ Shayla/notorious/usemyh/glitterbomb
You think even that account is Shayla too? Last time I checked you said she was racist and now you say she’s pointing out white guilt?
It’s the obsession for me, Shaylafan
🕺🏾
We all know you are that psychostan 😘 I told you that you were fooling no one but yourself.
@Lanafan he/she never get tired of trolling, i’m sure that list is longer, that kind of psychopath doesn’t have any limits.
Wow…what an honor!!! The list of simultaneous number ones just keeps going on and on. And the fact that she’s doing this at this far into her career clearly shows she has the longevity to be worthy of this award. Congrats to her!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BEY HATERS look so dumb 🤣
“She washed. Her single will be a free fall”
“Renaissance won’t go number #1”
“Break My Soul won’t go number #1”
“She won’t even sell 100k first week”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
PIE TO THE FACE FOR CLOWNS 🤡
🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧
