Kid Rock on Beyonce Worship: 'I Like Skinny White Chicks' | Billboard
I'mma shut up. I want to see what you all got say.

he's right, she has no classic records.
You think so?
name one
You think so?
Sooooo......you don't think Single Ladies or Irreplaceable is a classic? I'll tell you why you think that way........because Bey has never really been accepted by American as her music representing for America. Her music represent the urban market. Just so happens she has developed a great fanbase in the urban market, which is an AWESOME ACCOMPLISHMENT to become that successful.
With that said though, it's hard for "males" to understand why those two songs are "classics" because it's not suited for us (yet both of those songs written by men).............or any of her other songs that could have potential. Now.....is that fair on a black female artist? Or should she have songs written that are not leaning more towards the female listeners? Is it the wrong choice of songwriters? Shpuld she be singing songs written in the thought processes of the past inwhich a female artist can sing a song that a "male" can relate too.....(Greatest Love Of All).
I dread being in the car with a woman and Beyonce come on.
I will sing Madonna's Like A Virgin out loud in pubilc and won't give a damn.........but NEVER a Beyonce song. Her music is too "sacred".....
name one
Much ado about nothing.
I don't disagree with your general theme, but almost 3 decades on top is more than just a moment.What Kid Rock is saying about her not having a Purple Rain or Sweet Home Alabama makes sense - she's the biggest star on the planet, but she really has no mega-hits like a Thriller, Beat It, Bilie Jean, etc. I mean women still wildout to P.Y.T. like they do Single Ladies.
Her songs are more like Who Let the Dogs Out and Come and Ride the Train - hot for the moment, but not timeless enough to warrant her borderline extraterrestrial success. But, she is so successful because the machine is making sure she is...just like Katy Perry (with no timeless hits), Taylor Swift (with no timeless hits), and Justin Bieber (no timeless hits). I compare Beyonce to Janet Jackson and I absolutely love and respect both of them.
This generation is all about What Do I Like THIS Moment and that's not conducive for songs like We Are the World or Man In the Mirror - their attention span is not into that amount of depth.

Because it isn't fair to attack an "URBAN ARTIST" with America's choices due to people being brainwash that this music is the best. Urban music will never be able to compare....but it doesn't mean it's not a classic. He could've said that shit about ANY ARTIST THAT IS OF AN URBAN GENRE!!! Why I say he attacked urban music, not just Bey. Bey is a huge "urban" artist.
All and all.....that shit was an attack on a popular artist in the urban department to big up Rock and Roll for his up and coming new album.
I agree it was partially a marketing ploy, but do you believe if Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber were hotter and bigger than Beyone IN THIS MOMENT he wouldn't say the same things about them??
Btw - Man in the Mirror and We Are the World aren't rock hits...
...and Jimmy Hendrix had hits (don't ask Billboard or the Grammys seeing how neither Jimmy nor the Beatles ever won a Grammy) when he was alive - Fire and Manic Depression...ask anybody who was alive in the 60's and they will tell you how much the world love Jimmy for his talent.
...and I'm pretty sure Boyz 2 Men had some MEGA HITS that weren't Rock/Blues/Jazz...
Fans of Taylor Swift most likely "hate" urban music.....
