Beyoncé's Lemonade is nominated for 9 Grammys

This album manages to be both 'standing on the shoulder of giants' and 'sending the elevator back down'. In other words, the album is full of references to iconic cultural moments, as well as the work of new artists.

This post is about some of the samples used to create Lemonade, as listed by this Twitter account that doesn't have a name.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

If you’re lucky enough to do well, it’s your responsibility to send the elevator back down.
