A friend reminded me today was 11/30, which according to the child of Destiny... those are the same numbers as to when the club is "jumpin', jumpin'".
So, I can't think of a better way to bring back Throwback Monday than with this great throwback.

Throwback Monday
Last Monday it was mine (and Diddy's) birthday.
I was so caught up in the festivities.... I didn't post a throwback!
Yes, I know this isn't an official video, but can we all just take a second and appreciate this song. Had 50 and Bey done a video... it would've been EPIC.

Throwback Monday
I used to skip this Destiny's Child song most of the time on the "Survivor" album and JUST realized there's a video for it.
This video screams early-00s AND I'm here for it.

Throwback Monday
Since tonight is the Met Gala, let's reminisce back to 2014 during the infamous "elevator incident" between Beyonce, Solange and Jay-Z. From that we were gifted with "Lemonade", "4:44", "Everything Is Love".
Thank you, Solange.
On that note, let's honor "Lemonade" with my fave single off the album:
Because I still haven't forgiven, Hov.

Throwback Monday
Like many people, I've been watching Beyonce's Netflix documentary nonstop as well as the live album. My favorite part? The Diva/ Everybody Mad portion.
What's yours?

Throwback Monday
On this day 16 years ago, Jay-Z dropped Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse.
The album gave us gems like 03 Bonnie & Clyde and Excuse Me Miss.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Going on Tour Together
 |
| Instagram: @beyonce |
Wait what?
*clutches pearls*
While I'm trying to make a living and do my day job, I was inundated with texts, Instagram DMs and articles alluding to Beyonce and Jay-Z going on tour together.
Yes, it's being dubbed On the Run 2!
So, the internet is saying Beyonce's Facebook peeps goofed up and accidentally put out an announcement for OTR2, but then promptly took it down.
Now, we know the Carters must have something in the works as Bey is about to do Coachella, they just dropped Top Off with Future and Khaled.
But another OTR? I'd be down.
Now excuse me while I pick up another job....or 3 to get these coins together.
SMDH, regardless of this mistake the Carters are basically telling us to get in formation.

Throwback Monday
On this day in 2009, Lost My Breath became Destiny's Child's certified 9th single to go gold.

Beyonce Presents Colin Kaepernick with SI's Muhammad Ali Legacy Award
 |
| BEYONCE.COM |
Upon accepting the award Kaepernick promised that "with or without the NFL's platform, I will continue to work for the people."
Queen Bey also thanked Kaepernick for his "personal sacrifice," and in a video tribute the 2016 Ali Award winner Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called Kaepernick a "worthy recipient".
Kaepernick has made headlines since he began kneeling during the national anthem last season to protest racial inequality and police brutality. The demonstration sparked a wave of protests by NFL players during the anthem that repeatedly have been denounced by President Donald Trump. Kaepernick left 49ers in March and has raised questions and rallies among his supporters because he hasn't been signed to a team since.
Thank you very much to Sports Illustrated for the honor of the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award. I am humbled and honored to share this with the people.— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) December 6, 2017

| Instagram: @beyonce |
We first had inklings of this during the infamous elevator fight. Then Queen Bey blessed us with Lemonade, where we were constantly trying find who Becky with the good hair was and how we could take care of her for Bey.
Then we were given Rumi and Sir Carter.
Then HOV gave us 4:44 because all of us hated him.
Now, Jay-Z is sitting down with the New York Times' Dean Baquet.
In the interview Jay discusses race, politics, his feud with Kanye, his mother being a lesbian and....admitting to cheating on Beyonce.
He also revealed that Lemonade and 4:44 were supposed to be a joint album.

Serena Williams married her fiance Alexis Ohanian in a star-studded ceremony in New Orleans.
The November 16th nuptials between the 23-time Grand Slam champ and the Reddit CEO was a real-life fairy tale wedding. The whole affair was French ball theme and with Beauty and the Beast style decor. Be Our Guest played for guests as they were led into the reception. The couple had their first dance to Tale as Old as Time.
Williams sported an Alexander McQueen creation, while her man wore an Giorgio Armani suit. Of course, 2-month old Alexis Olympia Ohanian was there to witness her parents tying the knot in a gorgeous dress of her own.
Vogue magazine posted the photos and of course so did the happy couple on the good ol'
gram.
Yes, Beyonce was there.

On September 4th of every year since 1981, we all celebrate the life and legend that is Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter.
Beyonce doesn't just get Facebook "Happy Birthdays" from friends....she gets full on displays of affection that none of us could ever imagine.
The entire Made in America music festival Sunday night at Benjamin Franklin Parkway serenaded the star with the birthday song.
Her closest friends and family...including former First Lady Michelle Obama, recreated her iconic look from the Formation video.
Check out the other birthday salutations to Bey from fellow celebs on social media...Chance the Rapper's is the BEST!

Beyonce Continues to Give us Body Goals Post-Birth
Over the weekend, cool mom, Beyonce took little Blue along with BFF Kelly Rowland to the Kendrick Lamar concert to see the L.A. leg of the DAMN tour.
A couple of days later, this casual photoshoot popped up on Bey's website showcasing the star's outfit for the show and how she's killing it less than two months after giving birth to twins, Rumi &Sir.
Some fans at the concert caught a glimpse of Queen Bey with Princess Blue Blue dancing to the hits of K Dot.
Now I need a FILA crop top and to do 854375427527 crunches. STAT!

Jay-Z's 4:44
 |
| Twitter: @_dutch12 |
I've seen the memes, the gifs, the tweets and instagrams.
I've read the think pieces, the Stan pieces and the Beyhive clapbacks.
I've finally had the time to listen to Jay-Z's highly anticipated 4:44 album.
There's plenty of things I've had to process one of them accepting HOV brought back the hyphen to his name.
Okay, so this is Jay's response to Lemonade, my favorite Beyonce album. During the Lemonade era I questioned if Beyonce really was singing about her own marriage.
She and Jay have been secretive about their relationship since the beginning, so I was skeptical that they'd let us in so much. But, then the tabloid stories surfaced and made me think...but still didn't believe this was true.
I went to the On the Run tour post- elevator-gate and saw that the Carters seemed distant. Still, I thought it wasn't real life because- again- they don't tell us much about their lives. When B sang Resentment and hit the part where she sang been riding with you for 12 years I still thought she wouldn't throw her man under the bus like this while they're on tour!
Well, here we are.....3 years and a set of twin babies later and we have 4:44 where HOV tells us hey, Beyhive...I cheated on your queen and...my bad.
No wonder Solange beat his a$$!
He mentions in Kill Jay-Z, "You egged Solange on, knowin' all along, all you had to say you was wrong."
The album definitely shows Jay's growth lyrically. He's singing about his real-life now. How he's changed and matured, but I'm still pissed.
Look, I'm obvi not in the Carters relationship (even though I'd die to be!) but it's interesting to hear how bad Jay treated Bey, yet she stood by him.
Did he cheat on her while they were married? When they were dating? Was it both? Was she pregnant? WHY IS SHE STILL WITH HIM!?
He mentions miscarriages, in the plural sense which makes me wonder if Bey had more than one. We knew the couple suffered the loss back in 2012 after Blue was born and Jay released Glory.
In Family Feud, Bey is actually singing on the track. Reports state Mrs. Carter okayed all of the tracks before the album was released.
I don't know what kind of therapy these two sought but it looks like it's pretty successful. But think about it, this couple has taken their painful moments and have turned it into a career game-changer for themselves....and have cashed in on the process. Turning lemons into lemonade.
Jay doesn't only apologize to Beyonce profusely, but also touches on the Kanye feud in Kill Jay-Z
"But you ain't a Saint, this ain't KumbaYe, but you got hurt because you did cool by Ye / You gave him 20 million without blinking, he gave you 20 minutes on stage, (expletive) was he thinking / '(Expletive) wrong with everybody?' is what you saying, but if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane."
Another element of the album that surprised me as others was Jay revealing his mother is a lesbian. In Smile he raps “Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian/Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian. Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate/Society shame and the pain was too much to take."
All in all, it's apparent Jay is learning from his mistakes and is growing and credits much to that to being a dad. The music fan in me likes the growth, but I'm a female and a die-hard Beyonce fan. I feel his "apology" to Beyonce and all of doesn't seem enough for me.
You seriously have the baddest chick in the game and you played her?
To quote Baddie Bey & Prince "you play me, you play yourself"

Throwback Monday
One of my favorite Jay Z songs.
This week's throwback is in honor of the Carter twins being born and the upcoming release of 4:44.
Beyonce and Jay Z's Twins are Here!
 |
| Instagram: @beyonce |
Like many of us Beyhive members, we've been scouring through Beyonce, Miss Tina and Solange's social media accounts for SOME photos or some confirmation from the family of the long-awaited arrival of the Carter twins.
Are they fraternal?
Identical?
WHAT!?
Various media reports confirmed the birth via sources and visitors to the Los Angeles hospital with pink and blue balloons and presents....then grandpa Mathew Knowles finally confirmed.
I'm sure Bey loved that *insert eyeroll*
 |
| Instagram: |
TMZ reports that the twins were actually born on Monday, however the news was leaked on Saturday. TMZ says a " "minor issue' surfaced, and as a result..doctors do not feel comfortable releasing them." Sources say that Bey is okay, but no word on what the issue is and when she will be released.
Fans have been waiting on these widdles ones since Beyonce's Instagram announcement in February. Since then she's been killing the fashion game, rescheduled her Coachella appearance to 2018 and almost made us faint at the Grammys.
Here's hoping Bey and les twins have a speedy and safe recovery.
Can't wait to see the photos!!!

Jay Z and 4:44
 |
| hypebeast.com |
We're all
wondering what this 4:44 business is that Hov has been promoting lately online
and on billboards on the West and East Coasts.
All it
shows is 4:44 and Tidal in online code.
Conversations
on Twitter went through all the possibilities.
Is
this a visual album?
An
actual album?
An
album coming out on 4/44? As in April, 2044?
Well, we
finally have our answers!
During
the NBA Finals, we all got our answer.
Turns out
it's possibly a movie starring Mahershala Ali, Lupita Nyon'go and Danny Glover.
It's
looks like some boxing movie.
Sprint's
CEO posted this tweet to let people in on the secret.

| buzzfeed.com |
Excited to bring @Sprint customers exclusive content through our partnership with @TIDALHiFi - more news coming tomorrow!! pic.twitter.com/YIbZ4h5Zoq— MarceloClaure (@marceloclaure) June 8, 2017
The
trailer shows Mahershala boxing in the gym with Danny Glover as his trainer.
At
the end, the clip tells viewers to head to https://sprint.tidal.com/us. Which now shows 
So, basically TIDAL and Sprint have a
partnership and it looks like so many cool exclusives are to come! Hov isn't a
stranger to collaborating with other companies. Back in 2013 he partnered with
Samsung to release his Magna Carta album. The first
million Samsung users to download a "Jay Z Magna Carta" app got a
free digital copy of that album.
Earlier this year, Sprint announced they
acquired a 33% stake in the music sharing site.
Here's to Bey and Jay continuing to make
their dolla dolla bills.

Video Surfaces of Blue Ivy's Dance Recital and She's Definitely the Beyonce of the Class
 |
| tmz.com |
She's in the middle...doing her own thing in a room full of basics...Blue Ivy is definitely her mama.
The 5 year old daughter of Beyonce and Jay Z and soon-to-be big sis of those twin beybaes, Blue Ivy, was werkin' her ballet recital.
The performance was at Blue's school on Saturday and the routine was to Earth, Wind and Fire's September. TMZ released the video.
I wonder if Bey and Hov talked to the school about the leaked video tho?
Regardless, the Carters must be proud of their little Blue Blue.
