Lemonade is no longer the summer refreshment that we as kids use to build stands in order to sell cups of just to make a little extra cash. And when people talk about lemons, they sure aren’t talking about making lemonade out of them. They are talking about Beyonce’s second visual album called “Lemonade” that was released in 2016. She has made a definite impact on pop culture with this album because of its talk of her husband Jay-Z’s alleged cheating. Beyonce has been a big influence on pop culture since coming out in 1997, but more so when she started dating rapper Jay-Z and eventually marrying him in 2008.
Pop culture of this type would be relevant in the entertainment business because of the caliber of the celebrity being talked about. Nightline is one news source who ran a story about this album and the cheating scandal. On another known talk show called “The Talk”, Sharon Osborne brought light to her husband’s cheating and divorce talk by coming out with a tall glass of lemonade referencing Beyonce’s album also.
So what lures us to want to know about Hip Hop’s most powerful couple? It’s probably due to the fact that since dating, they have been very tight lipped about their relationship. Which is why this specific album has so much buzz right now. It reveals so much about what we thought was a perfect relationship, and makes two of the biggest people in the music industry seem more real.
