Is anyone else sad when they listen to Formation and don't hear the SB horns?

haha yes....the live arrangement slayed!!!! the drum intro

Anyway, FORMATION is an extremely strong and memorable title, idk what you girls are talking about. Sweet Tea can be the name of a song or something, it's not strong enough for an album title

Kanye just wish he was Beyoncé. He's so mad at her for being on that M.J pedestal that he has alway wanted to be... He's mad cause the only way for him to get attention is to make a fool of himself on social network messing with the Katrashian clan..

He was mad that BEYONCÉ pulled the truth YEESUS back in '13..

And she' still trying it in 16'

Will Bey funny if she drops Massacre 6 the friday following his album release

Sammi

I hope she drops the same day as him. Anyway, Katie Holmes was just dancing to Formation on Fallon. Her and Jimmy.

Nonody ness kanye's co sign. He'a joke nowadays. And he won't do it simply he hates that he is not the one causing this conversation.
He doesn't care about the mesaage. He's mad. I wouldn't be surprised he diss her again on his tour.

Kanye is under the illusion he's at the same level as Beyoncé, shes above him in every sense, including her artistry.

Is there a review thread for Formation?

I just noticed p4k gave it best new track.

Beyoncé is a black woman artist making black art for black women. She is not stealing from black culture or appropriating. She is not touching her toes in the stream of the various elements that encompass American blackness. No, she is creating work that speaks to an audience that might not receive the sort of mainstream, visually and sonically-enticing wisdom that Bey has perfected. This reality has never been more evident than on “Formation,” her latest off-kilter, even downright weird trap track, which dropped on Saturday afternoon.

Mike WiLL Made-It's production perfectly underlines each of Bey’s lyrics. The unnerving synth highlights each snap of a phrase (“I like my negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils” and “I like my baby’s hair with baby hair and an Afro”) like a yellow highlighter, marking the bits and pieces of the song one will refer to when examining the Beyoncé canon as a whole. Like a low rumbling siren that never truly crests to a final loud blare, the song bounces just under the surface. This effect returns as Bey repeats that first verse—"My daddy Alabama/ Momma Louisiana"—as if to make sure listeners are considering the content. It’s a fun song, yes, but it’s also an important one. Never forget that.

This doesn’t feel like a fluke. It is on Bey’s most instrumentally-dense and trend-forward productions (with a strong pull to the trap genre of her native Houston) that Bey most explicitly speaks to her fans. Consider “Flawless,” the spine-tingling centerpiece of her self-titled album, which served a similar purpose, speaking directly to her female listeners (and centering herself alongside them). On “Flawless,” we were given an anthem that prioritized power—“I woke up like this” was not just a boast. It was also a declaration that one’s independence, spirit, and strength derives from birth. It is a natural process and quality, one that arises inherently rather than being nurtured over time. It was no surprise, too, that “Flawless” included a snippet of a speech from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on feminism; Beyoncé instilled in us wisdom and confidence. She is a queen, but also a mother, a sage in a pop music field severely lacking in perspective.

Wait what happened with Kanye?

I wonder the same

*-ChriZ-*

Can we just talk about how genius she was for singing/rapping the following in the first hook (pay attention to what I highlighted)

Quote:

Sometimes I go off (I go off), I go hard (I go hard)
Get what's mine (take what's mine), I'm a star (I'm a star)
Cause I slay

and changing it to the following in the second and final hook?

Quote:

Sometimes I go off (I go off), I go hard (I go hard)
Take what's mine (take what's mine), I'm a star (I'm a star)
Cause I slay

I mean, it's very subtle, but the change from "get what's mine" to "take what's mine" is so very powerful. Ugh, this woman is just too much

Idk why but I was sure that this would happen

I want her to do a concept album (not the ATRL definition of a concept album). I would die if she made her own Rhythm Nation 1814

ST is still #2 on the official charts in Poland (last week it managed to be #1 as u know). They are stanning hard for her.

Wouldn't count on it.

Remember seeing a quote from her team, post ST, saying she a) wouldn't go the surprise route next time (well at least not in the same way) and b) not give anything away for free album-wise.

giRLbye.

i don't hold much stock into what her team said THEN...b/c the person who said it doesn't even work for Parkwood anymore. everything that Beyonce has released since ST follows the surprise model....OTR trailer, Flawless Remix, 7/11 video, Formation, etc. none of them suffered from a lack of attention and buzz. so i can see Beyonce doing another surprise release & I also see it being successful again too.

i dont see Beyonce giving it away for free....but i'm not sure of anything Beyonce does these days. i didn't expect her to handle Formation the way she has with the whole Tidal release. but it seems like its just really meant as a buzz single. so since she did that for them...hopefully everything else will be normal.

Click Clack

Just heard Formation on the radio

Don't let his stunts fool you. In reality, Kanye is jealous of Beyonce. He's jealous of her marriage, her husband, and all her money and power. He married Kim in hopes to fulfill his own Jay-Z/Beyonce power couple fantasy. His meltdown from today is simply because of Beyonce having all the attention days before his album release. I still remember his rant when it was revealed that she signed 50 million deal with Pepsi. He dissed her.

!!!

this is the rightest thing u've said...i agree that he is jealous. he's very insecure in general.

!!!! He's so delusional. He really needs to realize this. He lost. It's over. Beyoncé is the premiere artist AND performer of our generation.

giRLbye.

i think "Formation" as the album title would seem ANTI-climactic at this point with the album & tour already being out with that name. i think it should have a different name thats more iconic. but Formation is definitely memorable & stand out. but at this point....redundant.

this got me thinking....if anybody remembers...beyonce said she initially had a different name & concept for "4". she named it that b/c she saw the fans referring to the album as 4...like we do now as B6. i remember it got out that she trademarked the name "Revolution". so fans suspected that was going to be the album title...that makes sense when u consider what RTW was. so what do u think abt her using that as the album title now??
