DO YOU HATE BEYONCE?

Posted by tashana on Thursday Feb 25, 2010 Under Beyoncé Knowles


Beyonce was called out by producer Rob Fusari in Billboard Magazine.

I came up with the idea to build a track using the guitar riff from Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen.” I really wanted to play the riff from “Eye of the Tiger,” but I was flipping through my CDs in the studio and I couldn’t find it. But I saw the Stevie Nicks CD and I remembered that the riff was similar.

I figured I’d put the guitar loop on there temporarily, and later go into the studio with a guitar and replay it, because I’d learned, after sampling Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” for Will Smith’s “Wild Wild West,” that I didn’t want to lose 50% of the publishing. I vividly remember telling Mathew Knowles, “Mathew, you got to book me into your studio and let me replay that riff.” It was Guitar 101! One note!

He didn’t want to do it. So 50% got cut for one note. That whole experience was bittersweet for me.

I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyoncé about “Bootylicious,” and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track. And I was just like, “What?” I called Mathew-which was a big mistake; I got emotional, and I apologized after-but I called Mathew and said, “Mathew, like, why?”

And he explained to me, in a nice way, he said, “People don’t want to hear about Rob Fusari, producer from Livingston, N.J. No offense, but that’s not what sells records. What sells records is people believing that the artist is everything.” And I’m like, “Yeah, I know, Mathew. I understand the game. But come on, I’m trying too. I’m a squirrel trying to get a nut, too.”

    Hate is a strong word---nobody should be hating anyone. I know Bey and her family do some underhanded stuff, and it will catch up to them sooner or later.

  • sevilla
    Stans stop talking to yourself its just sad you know beyonce doesnt give a rats ass about any of you. If she did she would give you your money back for all that stupid stuff with her name on it cause you do need it to be a fan.

    It's okay "saymyname" don't be too happy I'm human too. Just make sure you keep buying my stuff. I have new Dereon stuff I'm sure you'll love. I have My brand new "Heat" perfume. I hope you also bought all the DVD's from my tours and movies. Make sure you also get a new Vizio Television with true colors and HD quality. We may have ran out of the Samsung B phone but You probably own it. If not I suggest ebay. Last but not least make sure you get some L'Oreal products and mention to the cashier you buying it because of me.

    Thanks for reading

  • Beyoncé
    Hi,

    This is Beyoncé. I'm just shocked at the polls's result. This saddens me. I fail to understand why people hate me. That is why I never browse the internet anyway.
    Please don't hate me. I will try to communicate better with my fans in the future. Thanks for reading.

    Love,

    B

  • haila
    Dang, I goofed...that is 'dumb ass haters" and QI. Typed too fast.
  • haila
    LOL @ "Beyonce is just smarter than ur overall OI can handle". Then he/she has the nerve to say, "DUMB ass stans". LOL It is IQ....simpleton!!! There is not much to add after reading the comments that followed this person's ridiculous comment. It is true Bey stans are the dumbest in America.
  • sevilla
    AT saymyname You need therapy for your Thought disorder I know you are a Beyonce fan so you dont understand.THOUGHT DISORDER associations lose their logical connection (the law is stupid).The individual may jump from one suject to another that is apparently unrelated(Rob whats his face called out beyonce n her dad what does this have to do with MJ nothing).May make indirect associations or clang associations relating words that sound the same rather than connect logically(you say best we say she needs to rest,you say better we say bitter, you say great we say your late). OTHER THINGS include inventing new words(neologisms), thought blockin(we talked about facts you just ran around what we were saying)sudden interruption in the train of thought(I can tell cause you went from everyone is copying bey to she is better than MJ).HAllucination in whichvoice(beyonces)dictates ones thoughts. An inability to think clearly(beyonce is better than everyone even your own mother how sad). Well at least your not depressed.
  • janice
    saymyname....are u sane? Bey did not pay tribute to MJ because he is a "smaller" artist? *blank stare* It is hilarious to even call Beyouncey an artist but to say she is bigger than MJ is just sad. Wow.....your really need to broaden your horizons. To even think that is just damn ridiculous. Sad
  • Beyallboutme's stan r certifia
    saymyname Beystealin cannot spell businesswoman. LOL at you trying to defend her stealing credit from songwriters. Whitney Houston gave much credit to Dolly Parton for her song, "I will always love you" and yes Whitney as well as other singers get paid well for their vocal prowess. If she is indeed all that she will give credit to those who deserve it and not try and hog all the attention for herself. That is why she is being called out now. More and more we are hearing about her and pimp daddy. It benefits the artist to show appreciation for said songwriters and give them credit for THEIR hard work. Simple minded stans.....SMH
  • Just .....dayum
    Have you seen Bootylicious? Did you see the part where they imitated MJ in the video? Damn. Also, that dumb ass stuff she did at the BET awards was something she did in fact considered a tribute to MJ. Only to the likes of someone like you would MJ "not be worth" paying tribute to. You know, there are plenty more who feel perhaps Bey would not be worth a tribute either. She calls herself paying tribute to him singing that horrid song, Halo, with a large photo of MJ in the background at several of her concerts. You need to check Youtube. Bey has paid tribute to MJ often (if you want to call it a tribut). I am sure you have heard of her leaked sample entitled, "Black culture". The music used is from MJ's "Don't stop till you get enough". Like I said, even her dumb ass recognizes greatness. She has even stated that she is "inspired" by MJ and that statement was made long before MJ's passing.

    Granted Susan Boyle is not a household name yet. But for you to not even know who she is is a clear indication you need to see beyond Beyaki's lacefront. Sad
  • Heem
    @saymyname
    did you know the whole perfume 'HEAT', that only started because MARIAH CAREY started her own perfume as well. jealous of mariah, she decided to make her own perfume which almost flopped due to the rashes she gotten from the allegies. and i cannot believe that a beyonce stan will go to the extent to say that stealing saongwriting credit is ok and that the law is wrong just to defend her... ROFL!!! :D
  • saymyname
    Yall will NEVER understand true talent. Why do you think Beyonce didn't perform a Michael Jackson at his tribute at the last BET Awards? Simple, Cause he's not worth it. SHE'S BETTER THAN HIM. A bigger artist NEVER performs songs of a smaller artist.
    Beyonce IS A BUSINESSWOMAN. The US has a stupid system where performers dont get paid by ASACP and BMI. So its okay for the songwriters to get paid but not the performers who give shine to the song??? please! The only way then to work around the system is put your name on the songwriting credits. it is a win win deal where the artist can get paid and the songwriter get paid too. so do u think a songwriter will rather keep his song to himself and dont get zero $$$ for it or accept beyonce's deal where the 1 million dollar profit will be share between the two of them? zero $$$ VS $500,000? the choice is quicly made.
    seriously If I was in her situation I would do the same as her. The law is just stupid and the performers need to get paid when they songs are being played in radios/TV/clubs. NOT JUST THE SONGWRITERS.
    Beyonce is just smarter than ur overall QI could handle. dumb ass haters!
  • saymyname
    @ALI who is susan boyle????
  • Just .....dayum
    saymyname you don't know if a stripper can sing or not. Either way the comparison is legit and neither act is one a child should see. LMBAO @ Nobitchassness. That is a big difference? SMH. Dang, I cannot even fathom the words to say in response to that. You must be a youngin'. LOL! Maybe even to young to be on this site. Seriously....Bey better than Michael, she can sing a stripper can't.....seriously. Are you 12?
  • MJForever
    Only to the saymynames of the world would beyahoe ever be better than MJ. SMH @ the comparison. MJ was and will always be in a class all by himself.
  • Stans are certifable
    I just could not believe what I just read from one of Beyallboutme's stans. More talented than MJ? OMG! I agree....that is pure comedy. Some say she is the next MJ. LOL!! This idiot took it further and says she is better than MJ. I cried laughing. All the dirt and lying and stealing she and her pimp...uh her dad have done over the years is now catching up with them and yeah.....I read to where someone at Sony said she is the most sued for copyright infringement anyway. Did this lost child say "everyone is COPYING beyonce"? SMH That is just unbedamnlievable. Try that vice versa then you may be more accurate. Yeah....everyone is stealing credit for songs they don't write and dance like a hoe.
  • No Bitchassness
    ^^^So it is ok to be a ho as long as you can sing? Typical stan. Her singing is debatable to. Some refer to her as Beyodel. She does sound like she is yodeling. However, in comparison to her peers, she can sing. Jennifer Hudson, Monica, and a host of others sings circles around this girl. She is in NO WAY to be compared to MJ. Even at the age of 50 (almost 51) MJ still would have surpassed Beyaki in sales, etc. MJ has that type of appeal. She simply does not. You are indeed a very young person and you are entitled to have the idol of your choice. If she is more than just smoke and mirrors then there would be no need to compare her to anyone living or dead or put anyone else down just to make her look better. I know you do not mean to disrespect MJ. But, you did by simply comparing her "talents" to his. As mentioned, he is completely out of her league. It is just mind bogglin when you say Beyaki is more talented than MJ. That is pure comedy. Even she knows better than that. Trust.
    Everyone is copying Bey? LMBO!!! ROFL!! You must be trying to play devil's advocate. Hilarity!! The girl is known for her swagger jackin'.She is the most sued at Sony. LOL!!! At least you did acknowledge that she "dances" like a trollop. I find it ironic that strippers and video girls are referred to as 'hoes' yet bey is a 'class act'. SMH
  • saymyname
    @Dkiah puuuhhhhh-leeeassee to you too. come on now! Riahana and ciara on BEYONCE's league? You must smoke a little bit too much!

    @Nobitchassness BEYONCE can sing. A stripper can't. Thats the difference... and that's a big one.
  • ALI
    TO SAYMYNAME: I HEARD SUSAN BOYLE COPIES BEYONCE TOO!
  • saymyname
    @sevilla puhhh-leasse ma'am. EVERYONE IS COPYING BEYONCE and off course fail to it cause u can NEVER surpass the #1 queen: Ciara like u said, Ashanti, Riahnna when she first came out, Keyshia Cole, Kat Delaluna, Mary J Blidge, Kelly ROwland, Keri Hilson, Flopzinger, Mariah Carey, J HO and more .
    One more time I AM NOT DISRESPECTING MJ. He was good but not better than her. AND HE WOULD NEVER HAVE SOLD MORE THAN BEYONCE IN THIS ERA OF TIME. If BEYONCE was born as the same time as him she would have surpassed him. TRUST ME.
  • Dakiah
    ^^^^Cosign!!! Co sign!!! LOL @ saymyname. Beystankin has done the same dance moves since going solo. Keeping her legs at 10 and 2, gyrating and p-popping and tossing her 30lb weave. MJ's moves were classic. It is no surprise that what works for him he continued to use. So what? He changed up some for the This is it tour. There is no telling what Mike had in store. You just saw behind the scene footage. That alone had people coming out in droves. Michael could have just stood on stage...no dancing or singing. People would have still shown up and reacted the same way. The concert sold out within hours. Did Bey's? She has had the same two dancers with her doing her same stank stripper moves and you talk about MJ. Listen, there is no comparison of a legend and a fake credit hogging swagger jackin ho. If she cared so much about you stans, she would have at least acknowledged the petition you all had demanding that she re do her Deja Vu video. Even you all thought it was bad enough to try again. Did she hear you? *crickets* Mike, would have been all over it because he was humble enough to really care about his fans and know it is because of them he was as successful as he IS.Comparing MJ and bey is comical and just should not happen. Plain and simple. Keep her with her peer, Rihanna, Ciara, etc. MJ is completely out of her league.
  • No Bitchassness
    saymyname....is truly a certifiable stan!! You cannot be serious. MJ? Overrated? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!! Bey is the most overrated "artist" this decade has ever witnessed. Michael actually wrote most of his hit songs. There wasn't a deal work out where he would receive writing credit when he didn't even add a period. He is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest selling ARTIST of all time as well as the most giving artist of all time. His humanitarian efforts are just as big as his accomplishments. He earned those accolades. They were not purchased. Keep watching some of MJ's concert footage and you would see how he interacts with his fans both on and off the stage. Your lack of knowledge about MJ shows your age. You have no clue as to whom you are speaking of. The fact that MJ is gone is not the only reason I am speaking so highly of him. The man was simply amazing. The This is it movie was just a showing of what was to come in what would have been his final tour. MJ was captivating. He, unlike Bey, was an innovator and did not mind giving credit where credit was due. He was the biggest star on the planet and was more humble than your average person. He was a fascinating man as well as an entertainer. He earned the title of WORLDS GREATEST ENTERTAINER....Honestly. LOL!!! Her dance moves? The average stripper does the same thing. Why not give them their props? Only to you and the like of you would Beystealin' ever be better than MJ. I cosign with sevilla.....what the hell are you on?
  • sevilla
    My bad perfect. WE ALL NEED SOME REHAB UP IN HERE GO TO DESTINYS REHAB BUT IF YOU LOVE BEY DONT I MEAN DONT THEY WOULD EAT YOU ALIVE THEY DONT PLAY MOST OF THE POST ARE JUST FACTS SOME ARE FUNNY SOME OF THE PPL HATE ALITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME. BUT THATS THEM MAYBE YOULL TRY WE ALL HATE ON BEYONCE THE NAME SAYS IT ALL. THATS FOR THE BEYONCE HATERS
  • sevilla
    She has said it herself in the pass that she would change one or two words take out some words than say she wrote it. Its like you wrote the whole song than you get no credit cuz she took out the word yeah or changed honey to baby and renamed it. THAN NOT ONLY DOES NO ONE KNOW YOU WROTE THE SONG BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO SUE JUST SO PPL KNOW YOU HAD SOME THING TO DO WITH IT. THAN NO ONE WOULD WANT TO WORK WITH YOU CUZ YOU SUED HER AZZ. At KD maybe everyone she fucks over should just take it laying down in a bey perfact world they would and no one would sue for their hard work right.That would be just great
  • sevilla
    At saymyname you should never disrespect the dead its just wrong. IF HE WASNT THAT GREAT THEN WHY DID EVERYONE COPY HIM I MEAN EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM. IF BEY IS THAT GREAT THEN WHY ISNT ANYONE COPYING HER NO ONE IS BUT CICI AND THAT SHIT DIDNT WORK. BEY COPY CAT AZZ HAS DONE NOTHING OF HER OWN SINCE DIL THAT WAZ YEARS AGO SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO THAT CUZ TO COPY GAGA and RIRI U KNOW SHE DID CUZ THEIR SHIT WAZ OUT BEFORE IASF GO TO YOUTUBE SEE FOR YOURSELF. SHE SHOULD NOT COPY OR TAKE CREDIT FOR STUFF THATS NOT HERS. I MISS THE OLD BEYONCE WHO TOOK A YEAR OFF AND COME BACK WITH SOME THING NEW WHO DIDNT LOOK LIKE GAGA AND RIRI AND WHO EVER COLORFUL HAPPY BEYONCE NOT ALL THIS BULLSHIT.
  • KD
    Also, @ Nio, when I saw that, I took it to mean she heard the track that the producer sent her, not "Edge of Seventeen." A lot of artists get the tracks from producers and write to them before they go in the studio.
  • KD
    Lol...the whole argument is stupid. What "idea"?? "Edge of Seventeen" is a very, very famous song. He put a beat to the riff. It's not a work of genius. (Good luck copyrighting your ideas, btw.) The dude is bitter because he lost publishing $, and no one wants to work with him anymore. They all need to come up with an "idea" for an original song!
  • saymyname
    An whoever voted they hate beyonce are just HATERS!! U JEALOUS! LOOSERS!
  • saymyname
    @sevilla no disrespect to Michael Jackson but that is justr REAL TALK!

    @nobitchassness Sorry to disapoint you but the MJ is the most overated artist ever. he was not that great. all he was was hype. matter of a fact i just watch the this is it movie followed with the tour he did in 1991. the set is EXACRLY the same, except in the this is it he looks tired and old. talking about originality he kept doing in 5 moves and thats it. this dude was wack period. he had no personality. all i see is some retarded dude who cant sing for shit and sing to himself.
    NOW BEYONCE IS AMAZING. SHE GOT SO MUCH PERSONALITY ON STAGE. SHE COMMUNICATE WITH THE AUDIENCE AND TRANSMIT THAT ENERGY. SHE HAS SO MUCH SWAG AND HER DANCE SKILLS ARE THE BEST EVER.
    BEYONCE IS THE BEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME AND SHE KNOWS IT THATS THE REASON WHY SHE ALSO KNOW THAT SHE'S BETTR THAN MJ WAS
  • Nio
    @ kd, she did say she came up with the song and the idea. It's on her E! story. You should watch it, it's played all the time.
  • No Bitchassness
    Why is the Legendary GREATEST OF ALL TIME singer/entertainer Michael Jackson's name even mentioned? Co sign with sevila. saymyname is the epitome of a certifiable dumb ass stan. Michael showcased his innate talent. Bey shows ass. To even compare the two is comical. Pulease!!
  • sevilla
    On the real he hasnt been gone that long too soon with that shit on every thing. TRY not to sound so stupid by bring someone down who is no longer with us disrespectful.
  • sevilla
    At saymyname what da hell are you ON it must be some good shit man can I get some
  • saymyname
    Beyonce is more talented than Michael Jackson was. #realtalk
  • UHHUH
    I prefer letoya over beyonce. I AM STARTIN TO GET SICK OF HER.. She keeps shoving herself down ppls neck and its annoying. Ppl swear she is the greatest singer on earth. Letoya has better quality in her voice. Bey has too much vibrato. And trys to push to hard. I say teena maire is a much better singer.
  • shutup
    @KD and your point is? all blogs share the same stories stupid bitch
  • KD
    I see the "source" link, but the story and the YouTube video is on Prophet's blog. I don't think that's a coincidence, dumb ass.
  • shutup
    @KD Its a story from Billboard magazine dumb ass
  • KD
    Way to jack this story from Prophet's blog. Sounds like Fusari is bitter b/c no one wants to work with him anymore. His only artist is some 14 year old? Ha. Beyonce never said she did the track for "Bootylicious." She always said she listened to it on an airplane and wrote the lyrics. That's where "buckle your seatbelt, it's time for takeoff" came from.
  • ALI
    HATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Frankie
    How is thi illiterate bitch going to mispell thief. Byonce is a amazin artist and talented
  • janice
    Killervirgo, YOU misspelled 'thief'. LOL!!!
  • janice
    Karma is slow but it is steady. It should not be surprising to anyone about Beyallboutme and her pimp.....uh dad. Her name should be Beystealin'.
  • sevilla
    This is who she is this is what she does always has and for what it is she has done this too many times
  • killervirgo
    ha. at 2 minute mark: A THEIF!!. LOL Even if it is misspelled it is true.
