Even though mainstream may not want to always admit it, a lot of pop music and outside genres are very influenced by hip hop culture, or the artists who are setting the trends within it. Recently, Beyonce dropped a hip hop-infused track called “Formation,” and she showed a lot of love to Red Lobster with her now infamous lyric. What happened next with the brand itself was pretty much labeled as a fail by the Internet.
