Yeah I remember it all.

    It's the grammys. I just don't understand why anyone cares about grammy results, it's just a bunch of out-of-touch Hollywood voters showing how out-of-touch they are. It shouldn't be taken seriously at all as a way to determine the quality of music.

    y'all aren't smart and do not understand music. beyoncé has proved to us many many MANY times that she can make phenomenal music without any samples. she can even make authentic traditional or 'old-school' music without samples (we all know love on top). the whole point of renaissance WAS to sample. look up the meaning of the word renaissance. she revisited old songs and old genres and cleverly adapted them in a modern context.

    That's been the usual lately for plenty of artists, including even rappers like Ye and Travis. However, like Anthony said, this has been one of the cases were it felt like the names were there for a reason and they played a role on it. Plus, Beyonce is famous for crediting every person that helps, even if it's just adding a snare 5 seconds before the music end.

    ​@@Invertedworldxsongwriting ≠ lyrics. Songwriting = arrangements + music + lyrics (including sampled sounds, interpolated lyrics). Plus Beyoncé noted that EACH song is supposed to exceed 5 minutes long but it isn't supposed to and she has to trim it down. Imagine if it's untrimmed. 21 songwriters is completely NORMAL if it means a perfect pop song.
