Beyonce told us "Shut the hell up about the visuals," and I am distraught! Follow along as I discuss the missed opportunity for Afro Futurism and the biggest criticism I have of Cowboy Carter that she could have fixed with a visual album.
In this episode, I discuss how I use Beyonce in my African American Studies course, and why I had such a vested interest in seeing the album visually. In the process, I discuss Octavia Butler, why Beyonce's Blackbirds deserve justice, and why Afro-futurism needs a resurgence in popular culture.
