Why was this left open but Rihanna's bad review thread got closed? Mods are so shady.

[swissman]

This is getting ridiculous with people jumping to a big conclusion.

Female empowerment in jeopardy because of this? Hardly.

People are just so quick to jump on anything they can to criticize her. No one seems to get as much flack for every move than she does.

And that lady who said Jay-Z is influencing her? Ha... ok. Masculine lyrics means Jay-Z made her do it.

No one says that when a rapper tells a guy to respect him that he is being anti-masculist. It's so dumb for us to be discussing if this is anti-feminist just because we're so sensitive to the issue.

She can go and have a seat.

She isn't talking about fans, but the lyrics still come off haughty and abrasive. Unlike "Diva" or "Back Up" which is bragging done the right way. It's really not a huge surprise that people having negative reactions to the song, and this is coming from a Bey fan.

Men do songs like this every damn day. Even Rihanna has done songs much MUCH worse than this. I know y'all are appalled that King Bey doesn't give a **** about what you all think anymore, but that's no reason to get heated.

not you comapring Rihanna and some rappers to one of the biggest feminists of the generation, one who always screams "girl power" to high heavens and says women need to stick together, it's not the same thing and I don't recall Rih insulting and calling names to anyone in her songs

[funnychick]

I agree. The song is atrocious and Beyonce can do way better than this.

Girl power and sticking together does not mean in EVERY circumstance ever. Being a feminist doesn't mean giving preference to women it's about equality. If she wants to sing as song calling out those who are disrespectful to her, she can without being anti-feminist. Suddenly she should accept all her haters?

And she's done a lot more for feminism than this has done harm. Puh-lease!

[Callisto.]

Girl if yall don't shut the **** up.

Yall always trying to go in and find deeper meaning in **** that doesn't need it. lol

"Oh! CRUDE! Who is she taking too!"

Like omg yall are nuts.

[UhOh]

Yes!
YESSSSSS!!
Fall into our trap!!

[NEUTRON]

Poor them... Beyonce is really about to give the media her ass to kiss. I feel like this is just the ice breaker.

[Rihhyonce]

It's interesting to me that last year Jay-Z said that he would stop calling women "bitches" after Blue Ivy was born, and now Bey releases this.

Ya this is getting a whole lot of press for 1 rather tame verse.

[Stepfon]

All this from a freaking buzz single. It just shows how important Beyonce is, whether you all want to admit it or not.

That was a fake rumour.

[Rainsford]

Bey ain't playing safe this era, so your basic bitches should take a seat and watch the King slay

I hate the fact that Bey released these 2 snippets.

Everybody thinks it's her new single. Some even think the 2 mashed up snippets are a single...

This is to confusing for people.

i agree.

i think the song bops. i'm not mad at the lyrical content or anything because as a fan, i think it's fun. it's interesting to me.

but as a whole... on the grand scheme.... this was so stupid and unnecessary. wtf was the point? she literally slayed the superbowl and had the whole world ready for her new music and had so much hype and instead of a proper single, she drops this crap. it just isn't smart. of COURSE the public would respond this way and think its official - we've been WAITING!!! this ruins the momentum. idk why she did it.

i really don't care though cuz i know i'll like her music regardless but this is just urgh

[liberalmusiclover]

it's no secret that Wendy loathes Beyonce

[simon]

Beyonce has everyone hot and bothered.

Mission accomplished!
