Beyonce graces the cover of the August/September issue of
Complex, which was designed by photographer
Thierry Le Gouès and artist
Ebon Heath. In discussing the release of her latest album '4,' Beyonce told
Complex, "Everything sounds the same on the radio. With 4 I tried to mix R&B from the '70s and the '90s with rock 'n' roll and a lot of horns to create something new and exciting. I wanted musical changes, bridges, vibrata, live instrumentation, and classic songwriting." In the issue she also talks about husband
Jay-Z, her upcoming 30th birthday and dispels rumors about bad relationships with
Kelly Rowland,
Lady Gaga and
Rihanna.

"BEYONCE COVER, DISPLAYING HER CRAZY COMPLEX STYLE", ONCE AGAIN! BEYONCE IS OVERRATED TO THE MAXILLA!!!!! Bey is scared that somebody else with talent, and is respectful, young, FRESH, will take her SPOT, and get the attention? Anything to sell & promote her CD? Bey will never change her style in clothes (dressin showin too much skin), dancing RAUNCHY, and style in music.
SHE WILL NEVER GROW IF SHE CONTINUES TO GO THIS SAME OL TIRED ROUTE! Can we get any type of repsect for the fans & especially JAY her Husband? There isn't any difference in her so-called latest CD. Who is she foolin? I PRAY, when she turns 30 that she wakes up, change for the better so that she can go to the next level, and SHOW GROWTH! I really don't think, if a baby came into the pic, it would change anything? We all know who would always be first. Now, she is changin her words,(Comment she said in Interview on HLN with Pierce Morgan)not confirming it, about having a baby at age 30? It was all for PLUBLICITY, for people to stay in tuned, and be in mystery? Don't hate on my opinion.
IT IZ WHAT IT IZ!

LOLOLOLOL Hey DIME what's up. I don't need to say nothing on this one cause YOU SAID IT ALL. All I am going to say bout BOUNCY is I wish she would go sit her ass down somewhere and gives us a chance to miss her for a while(like a year or two) I'm so sick of this heifer I don't know what to do. Go have a baby or something, bet she scared it would ruin the figure and she'd never get it back. Well girl needs to do something cause to me she can't sing all that good and she really can't act. DIME, I left you a message on I think it was that crazy ass article bout that African and "sex freak". STAY COOL BUDDY. PEACE.

Hi CLarke! :-)
How are coping with this over 100 Degree weather. That's what it is out here. THANK GOD, I am feeling better but irritated and hot becuase I have to go out. ME & YOU BOTH think the same and for all you people out there ME & CLARKE are TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE just expression our damn opinion. How about that! LOL!!!!!!! Clarke, you haven't seen nothing YET? Beyonce's Fan Base will be on here hating on my comments as usual. I too wish she do better or just go AWAY. There are so many young fresh new talent and she is afraid that they will steal the spotlight. That's all what that is. I will check that CrAzY Blog out. You know I had to say something. It IZ what it IZ!
You stay COOL & BLESSED! Now is the time to stay on that "Slip N Slide" for the rest of the day. Try to catch up with ya tomorrow. :-)
PEACE!!!!

Beyonce doesn't want to lose her crown but she's still young and I don't blame her for that. All entertainers want to remain on top, that's just logic but just like gravity, everything that goes up must come down but Beyonce is still on top so she best continue to ride that wave until her fans say they’ve had enough. because people who don't buy her music doesn't count.
However, the comment she allegedly made about wanting to have children at 30 years old, I believe she's till her late 30's before she time starts to become her enemy. Why have children now when her and Jay Z just got married last year and they both are real busy with their careers? Children needs love and attention not absentee parents or nannies spending more time with your children then you, so waiting another 5 or more years isn't wrong.
I actually admire Beyonce and Jay Z for waiting because so many celebrities have children prematurely and the children wound up suffering. These parents are always gone or even worse, the parents are outwardly unhappy and the children are in therapy or worse.
Black women can have healthy children way into their 40's or even later. Beyonce is healthy and so is Jay Z…they have time.
Also, it's our prerogative to change our mind and that's OK.

Those photos shows that Bey is constantly re-inventing her Bey is always raising the bar. Her new album is different and I love it. Her album was #1 on the Billboard charts. If it weren't for bootleggers Bey's album would've done more recorded sales. Her album "4" was leaked 2 weeks before its release date.
Regardless of hackers and bootleggers Bey was still able to get the coveted Billboard's Top 200 award and she maintained that spot for several weeks.
@Kelly, I agree with everything you said. Bey has been on the scene for over a decade so to still even IF she was #10 on the Billboard’s top 200 would be amazing.

Unfortunately, this is one of those cases wherein it might be better to let it go. After attorney's fees and subrogation, you'd be out more money that you'd collect.

LOL!!!!! You are funny as heck! Hey, if we did our site would be BIG! FUNNY & THE TRUTH! I'm serious! I would do becuase I love to say what's on my mind and you know me! Look, like I said about Beyonce, she doesn't like her ROOTS. It would be nice to see a Black Natural Beautiful Woman who is REAL and who likes and is proud of her ROOTS! Yes, Too many colors indeed, lace fronts, extensions, wigs, ect.. just BE YOUR SELF & KEEP IT REAL is all I'm sayin? My daughter got what I had, poor thing. I had the 48 hour stomach virus and I feel her. Well, it will be a lil cooler tomorrow. THANK GOD! I hope you are enjoying the dips in the pool. STAY COOL & STAY BLESSED!
