Whether you heard raving reviews about the hour long music video or happened to find out that "hot sauce" was really Bey's good friend the wooden bat I'm sure something Lemonade related has made it your way. But, if not, I happened to watch it. Some God-send happened to hit the DVR button and the album was sitting waiting for me after being taken off the air for it's one night only premiere on HBO. Early in the morning I sat in my family room, turned the lights off , grabbed a bowl of cereal and pressed play.
