how was TLC's music not rap singing? I mean one can even argue the all that theme had rap singing

and i'm not gonna lie after all these posts in the thread i'm starting to feel "bow down"...the other one tho is eh

rap-singing is when you sing fast over a beat and it sounds like you're rapping, squeezing notes into little spaces. And TLC & SWV have never done that, having Hip-Hop elements doesn't = rap-singing. Beyonce/Destiny's Child has done rap-singing over Pop tracks as well.

Not me planning on "surpassing" myself when all I'm trying to do is give my honest opinion of the track. I get that you're into it, but your opinion isn't the only one

Wow. Reading comprehension is vital. They were referring to Beyoncé when they stated "No sense in repeating yourself if you're not planning on surpassing yourself." Calm down and stop being so defensive.

Nothing happened at the GMA so I guess the single is not coming this week and these two snippets were just to make us wait and hang in there.

I've never heard it defined as this...I tried searching it to not seem like a biased "hater" but all i found when I searched rap singing was the rapping genre wiki and one bey stan who posted a youtube video

I understand what you're saying, something similar to "No, No, No" with Wyclef, but that wasn't an innovative sound (def a bomb record tho)

and

@ the bey thing I didn't even catch that

my baddd

Cz!

Like really why do y'all have to hate? Are y'all this critical and analytical with your faves? Is a buzz single calm down. She slayed though OMFG!!!

Dead at rihanna stans trying to take credit though when bey has been rapping since No No No. I can't

THIS SONG IS AMAZING!

The only other pop acts that had a popular rap-singing songs out before Destiny's Child in the 90's (that I can think of right now) were Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson.

Michael released "Jam" in 1993 and he was rap-singing on it. We all know Beyonce is highly influenced by Michael Jackson. In fact her staccato style was inspired by MJ's singing, so I guess it's just something ingrained in Bey.

Mariah Carey released "Breakdown" in 1997. A year before the No, No, No remix, but I don't think that song had anything to do with how DC sounded. Rap was just a part of DC's identity and a part of contemporary R&B music in general.

It's not a song sis. It's two snippets of two different songs.

Kh-Loud

Omg I want a I BEEN ON non edited version please..... My life would be completeeeeedddd

PULSE.

I don't get why ppl are taking this so serious, it's not her first single. If you don't like it, fine.

reppingBey

I been listening to it all morning, 2 hours straight. I got my life! This will hold me for a while.

This whole Rihanna comparison, yet again, is stupid.

Yes, it has a similar sound to what Rihanna has recently done. That's a style of music. Rihanna hardly popularized it nor made it her own. As many people have already said, Beyonce has been doing hood/urban music for years. Just because the particular style of hip-hop has changed, doesn't mean Beyonce has. And it was pretty obvious Beyonce was going to do this style of music and I believe she's been working on her album for a long while now. Not to mention (what has I'm sure already been mentioned over and over because some people can't understand it) that Beyonce is from Houston and this style of music has been popular in Houston for a long time, so no doubt Beyonce knows it well. She did a Chopped n Screwed version of Bug- a Boo in 2007 on her Beyonce Experience World Tour after all.

And to the conversation of rap-singing, this is something that has been her's for a long while now:

bone thugs n harmony's entire discography was similar to the rap singing that we hear on "No No No." That's why "breakdown" sounds so much like a bone thugs record (she reached out to them to do the collaboration because the butterfly era was when she made her hip hop "transition).

i'm not trolling

, but I'll leave cuz i'm spending too much time in this one thread. At the end of the day bey still slays and I'll be copping album 5, just maybe won't be checking in on "I been on" that much

1:20 - 2:00 Is my textone

If only she ditched that mess of the screw and chop and just used The opera parts as a bridge on Bow DownE
