Netflix Digs Up “Carmen: A Hip-Hopera” & Shatters Twitter

Before superstardom and sheer iconery, Beyoncé did questionable things like star in “Carmen: A Hip-Hopera” that–well, um–didn’t age very well over the years but that’s OK because it’s Beyonce and gives us another chance to laugh at the wonderfully tacky early 2000s. Oh, and gypsy Wyclef.

Ok before Carmen: A Hip Hopera comes back to us via @netflix I want you to know that we are not here for your critiques!

We KNOW it's not an award winning film. We love it anyway! We are here for the nostalgia! The cast! The songs! The ridiculous drama of it all!

Thanks, mgmt
