Beyoncé’s Lemonade - 10th Anniversary

This week, Sequoia and Ryann are joined by Nadirah, a digital content creator and author of First Things First: Hip-Hop Ladies Who Changed the Game. The trio reflect on the cultural impact of Beyoncé’s seminal album Lemonade, and also attempt to rank her albums and songs from best to…not best.

This album is so important to Sequoia, that she ditched Wikipedia and wrote the topic description from her heart. As Sequoia describes it:

Lemonade is an album by cultural phenom and generational talent Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, where she takes us through a deeply tumultuous and traumatic time in her marriage to Jay-Z, including accusations of infidelity and lying. Throughout the visual story, poems, and lyrics, she weaves in references to Black American history, generational curses, and triumph, telling a rich, complete, compelling story. Period.
