You know, it’s not like she didn’t warn us. In Beyoncé’s own words, she’s the bitch that was going to cause all this conversation. And God help me, there is no way that I’m going to write a Think Piece on Lemonade. I’m wildly unqualified to comment on either the artistic merit or the experiences that created Lemonade (while simultaneously being physically unable to stop playing “Hold Up”), and thankfully, smart enough to recognize that. But these dudes? Not so much. Here from best to worst is all of the White Dudes adding their own unnecessary two cents.

The Meh

Best Line: You would think that it pops up in the video right off the bat with “The entire modern Liberal social-engineering movement is about causing discord and unhappiness in the general population.” But no.

“A lot of top rock stars that I personally know were called into meetings [with MTV], and told, ‘You either merge with gangster rap and promote crime in the streets and drug dealing, or we’re not going to air your music anymore.’”

“We can’t play the audio because there’s so much cussing.”
