Make It Last Forever: Jay-Z And Beyonce

Why She Loves Him: Women typically always have an unbroken connection with their first. Beyonce made it big during her teenage years and really didn’t have the time to date like a boy-crazed adolescent. By the time she was 19, she was dating Jay-Z–one of the biggest hip hop heavyweights of our time and he set the standard for the superstar’s love life. “Fortunately I haven’t had any breakups. Jay Z is my first relationship,” Beyonce said in an interview with US magazine.

Why He Loves Her: Where there’s Jay’s love, there is respect and it’s not a secret that he respects everything about his wife’s hustler spirit and unwavering worth ethic. “What I’ve learned from her is similar to what I learned from Mike [Jackson] – and I know that’s blasphemy to compare the two because Mike was such an innovator – but I think she’s like the second coming,” said Jay-Z. “You know, the hard work and dedication that she puts into her shows. It just makes you want to work harder at your own craft. She’s like a machine,” he said in a radio interview with Miami’s 99 Jamz.

Why They Work: As frustrating as it is for the detail-hungry public, Jay and Bey manage to keep their very public lives a little bit private. Privacy can be the glue that holds this power couple together because when outside elements weigh in on your relationship, it causes a strain. How they can remain so allusive is beyond us, but we’ve witnessed it from the start of their union, to their wedding and to the birth of their first born. When Jay appeared on Oprah in 2009, he admitted, “When you live your life so out in the public, then your music and life are on display,” Hov added. “You need to separate from it. You can’t be in that light all the time. You need some type of escape from it. And that’s one thing that’s sacred and not in the public eye.”

Why We Love Them: Beyonce said it best, “The best thing about marriage is the amount of growth you have because you can no longer hide from your fears and insecurities. There’s someone right there calling you out on your flaws and building you up when you need the support. If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you.” These two lovebirds are inspiring. A lot of folks get married for the wrong reasons, Jay and Bey, waited, courted and realized that their love was everything each other needed. They provide one another with relationship essentials–support, growth and unconditional love.

She wrote:

“This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed.”

Fellow legend Aretha Franklin also wrote: “Etta James was one of the great soul singers of our generation. An American original! I loved “Pushover,” “At Last” and almost any and everything she recorded!!! When Etta SUNG, you heard it!”

When asked about the comparisons people make between her and Beyonce (granted, we’ve never heard any of them), Brandy had a message for the “fans”:

“I don’t think I’ve ever heard a comparison to me and Beyonce. Maybe that’s the fans…and I wish these fans would quit that because when you put competition in the midst of what’s so unique and so different about every artist out there, it keeps you from appreciating everybody. Yeah, everybody has a preference, but if you like Beyonce and Lady Gaga and Rihanna and not put them against each other, then you can enjoy all three – I have all of their albums, I love them all – because everybody has their own tone, their own sound. Nobody can be Beyonce better than Beyonce, nobody can be me better than me, or any of these other great artists – Adele, Alicia Keys. Like, let people be unique and ya’ll fans stop putting us against each other. It’s not even right – especially when the artists that you guys are putting against each other actually like each other, that’s kinda…that’s cray.”

Good point. Besides, the two ladies share Kelly Rowland as their BFF, so it’s best they get along anyway.

Go that way, stans!

The latest promotional image for Beyonce’s album 4 has folks in an uproar! Why so, you may ask…the new mother looks stunning in the visuals. Her body curves effortlessly over a leopard throw like a bent Twizzler. And her Victorian styled hair is flawless as always.

What’s wrong with the photo is that she looks whiter than Snooki on a pale day…

Why is it that Beyonce is the go-to woman as a spokesperson/ representative but is constantly lightened in all of her pictures? Is her barely paper brown bag skin not worthy enough of exposure? We’ve seen this before with her L’Oreal commercials.

The particular beef resonates with the young black girls who visit BeyonceOnline everyday, whom enter a site greeted by a banner that clearly depicts light skin women in all their glory. What message does this send the youth and adults caught up in a “light skin, dark skin” era?

So let me get this straight, all it took for Jay-Z to stop degrading women with a term most of us don’t appreciate was for his “b*tch” to give birth? Does Jay-Z deserve a late pass on this one for waiting so long to straighten up his syntax?

When Jay-Z was born from a woman who single-handedly raised him, the word “b*tch” should have never slipped from his tongue – hardcore rapper image or not. But it was still there, stinging at every use. Jay-Z is very aware of his influence over children who idolize his lyrics and look to use the same language he does. So you’ve got generations of Jay-Z fans that watch him call his wife, his “b*tch” and think it’s ok to do the same. When Hov chose to marry one of the most celebrated women in the world, the b-word didn’t affect him or her, at all. In fact, Bey seemed to place her stamp of approval on countless songs he’s released with the b-word sprinkled throughout since they became an item. Not that she can dictate his career, but it’s clear that she can affect it.

According to his manifesto to Baby Blue (below), in the past, he didn’t think hard about using the word. Now, he wants to preserve the innocence of his daughter. How precious.

Every father that considers himself a man always breaks down and reevaluates their bad choices and flawed pieces of who they are when they have a daughter. They think about how they’ve treated women in the past and vow that no one will ever treat their offspring that way so, in turn, the women around them reap the benefits of their good behavior. No relationship between man and woman compares to a father-daughter relationship. I can appreciate Jay-Z revamping his speech and possibly his entire way of life to accommodate for having a baby girl, but why wait so long?

New fatherhood, especially that of a baby girl, can spark fear of the unknown. A man may have grown up with sisters and learned more about women from love and marriage, but neither of these prep him completely for the father-daughter dynamic. Let’s think about the impact the father-daughter relationship has on the daughter’s social and emotional development–it’s everything. Women often develop doomed relationships with men based on their father’s role in their lives. Because many of us get through life without a father, we spend our entire lives trying to find him and we get lost along the way. Not Blue Ivy Carter. Her dad is going to be there for her and he’s not going to let the b-word slip from here on out.

I can appreciate this new positive spin Jigga’s got going on. He’s taking responsibility for the things that come out of his mouth because he’s got a new responsibility and a life to shape. Atlanta rapper T.I. seems to be doing the exact same – changing his image to fit his family life. With the peep inside his new life that we get with his Vh1 reality show T.I. and Tiny, we’re reintroduced to T.I. as a remixed Bill Cosby with a life that revolves around his family, instead of a drug-consuming, lyrically-violent and degrading rapper that tries to buy firearms (which is who he used to be). People can and do change, but my main question is: Is this all for publicity’s sake or are these men actually evolving into positive role models for their children and the children that are their fans?

There’s bigger fish to fry that the b-word. It’s great that Jay-Z wants to take the b-word out of his vocabulary, but what about the other negative subject matters he rhymes about? Once you take all the debauchery out of his lyrics, you’re left with how much he loves Beyonce, how wealthy he is and other personal anecdotes that would make Blue Ivy proud – although, that kind of subject matter doesn’t tend to sell records to hip-hop loyalists. So maybe Jay-Z’s preparing to retire like he said he would years ago and just focus on being a “business, man”.

UPDATE: This poem, provided by Rolling Out, is fake. It was not written by Jay-Z.

Is this change of heart sincere or for show?

Beyonce & Jay-Z Release Statement About Blue Ivy Carter!

Just because the pop culture power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce dropped the $1.whatever million on securing an entire floor of Lenox Hill Hospital doesn’t mean that they got the entire hospital to themselves. Or did it? It’s been reported that other parents who delivered their children on that Saturday night couldn’t get to the neonatal unit to stare googly-eyed at their new bundles of joy for hours because Jay and Bey’s security blocked the area off.

Health department spokesman Michael Moran said they received two complaints about Lenox Hill Hospital. And now the hospital is claiming that Beyonce and Jay-Z paid the standard amount ($800/room/night) to secure an executive suite, but they won’t tell what that price was. Depending on how many suites were on that floor, the couple could have easily racked up a nice sized bill. In the words of Jay-Z, “Money talks, so talk mo’ bucks.”

Hospital spokeswoman, Barbara Osborn made a statement yesterday, stating the hospital’s executive director, Frank Danza was conducting an inquiry into the complaints about treatment of neonatal unit patients. “The internal investigation was prompted by my own viewing of the news stories, which had indicated there were more parents, and those parents were in communication and had concerns,” Danza explained.

Baby Blue Ivy’s already heating up the charts and the tabloids, like mother, like father, like daughter, I guess. Source & Source

We are supposed to be super human and watch people we love get slandered, lied on, and ridiculed. It is one of THE hardest things to accept.

According to sources Beyonce did not want her father there when she gave birth. but Jay convinced her to invite her father to the hospital and she did. Mathew came into the delivery room while Bey was in labor and she broke down in tears and cried openly. It was the first time she’d laid eyes on her father in almost a year. It was so emotional that even Jay got a little teary-eyed!

Beyonce Gives Birth To A Baby Girl

Cut It Out! Beyonce’s Baby Name Means Lucifer’s Daughter In Latin

There, I said it! Stop with the conspiracy theories and subliminal meanings behind Beyonce’s baby name Ivy Blue/ Blue Ivy.

Early this morning Beyonce gave birth to a baby girl and immediately she was welcomed into the world and regarded as a “princess.” While I thanked the lord, hoping the “Beyonce baby craze” was all over and everyone would be able to go on with his or her lives, my Twitter timeline filled with statements like:

Wait a minute, am I crazy or was a healthy baby born to a successful hard-working black woman? How in the h*ll (no pun intended) do you refer to an innocent baby as a member of the infamous Illuminati?

From there things only got worse as more theories circulated:

This one in particular, struck me the hardest:

Lucifer…as in the devil? REALLY? So you’re telling me the fiery demon himself, chose Beyonce to use as a vessel to reincarnate his daughter? And which scholar, who happens to speak Latin, was up at 1am on Twitter, concerned with the well being of Beyonce, confirmed that the translation of Ivy Blue backwards in the dead language is “Lucifer’s Daughter?”

Sigh

People, let’s move on with life and if it so happens to be true that Beyonce and Jay-Z are down with the Illuminati– so be it! We do not benefit nor does it affect us if they are.

Beyonce In Labor, Checks Into Hospital

The baby girl is the first child for Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z who will be married for 4 years this year.

A very pregnant Beyonce checked into Lenox Hill hospital last night under the name “Ingrid Jackson,” a hospital staffer told the NY Daily News. Staffers at the hospital said that Beyonce and her Jay-Z, rented out the hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million.

With reports that a New York hospital was put on alert for a celebrity birth, the rumors went into full swing over the last few days. Some websites even posted the rumor that the singer had given birth to a baby girl and named her Tiana-May Carter on Thursday, December 29th.

Auntie Rihanna was the first to tweet the good news:

Congratulations to the happy couple! Now can we all get back to our regularly scheduled lives!

While a spokesperson for the power couple was not available for comment security is said to have been tightened at the hospital. In an effort to keep images from leaking to the public, hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and are forcing employees to turn in cell phones when they arrive for their shifts, the source said.

Last week, the internet was on fire with rumors that Bey reportedly checked into St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital to give birth. And then we all saw the photos of the superstar out and about which put those rumors to rest and little sis Solange tweeted on NYE:
