America Has A Problem is so damn good. It’s so 80s/Michael Jackson’s “Bad.”

 

Like the user above said - it’s so different for her, but she does it so well.

 

Energy is A SMASH!!! The streams are so high because it works as a standalone track and transition track so well! The Cuff It base line into what sounds like an African safari parade is so immaculate.

 

That is the track I am honestly most excited to hear live just for the production alone.

We’re stuck in an endless cycle.

 

”Where are the visuals?” -> *-ChriZ-* meltdowns -> everyone else complains about complainers -> Grammys talk -> album rankings -> Viola gif -> repeat process

So we’re back at this stage I guess.

America Has A Problem is a masterpiece. 

But I understand, it takes a certain refinement in taste to get it.

Has anyone considered that the Cuff It challenge was planted? We know labels do this for TikTok challenges all the time. It seemed to take off the moment BMS was pulled from radio. Maybe it was planned to be the single all along and we can expect a further push as it continues to rise 

I have. And I'm so glad someone else sees the possibility of this. 

 

Like you said, this happens all the time. There are countless articles about how the biggest TikToker's make BANK by way of such label collabs. 

 

TikTok IS legit a medium for songs to take off organically, but there's a lot of pay-for-play that goes on there too. A lot. It's very much the new payola. Artist teams work closely with TikTok to "jump start" a track with full knowledge that if it catches, streaming will follow suit as well as radio. It's the new...organic.

 

I'm not sure I buy that there's big well-oiled plan in regards of pulling BMS and the launch of Cuff It. But I don't reject the idea that while we're all looking at the lack of activity around the traditional modes of promo that Columbia / Parkwood are plotting equally potent moves like this. 

 

One of the main reasons I buy this is that Bey's whole thing is being "seen" to not chase hits. Trust and believe though that she, Parkwood, and Columbia will want more big charting moments from this album. So, Cuff It "randomly" taking off so close to the wide vinyl release, Tiffany's, tour announcement, and likely the visuals is a lil too "convenient". I have more belief in it being engineered than being this random lightening bolt of "luck". 

 

 

That TikTok dance wasn't made by her label, you guys know it. 

Actually CI taking off disrupted plans of Church Girl killing the era.

Nominations will be announced November 15. 

 

If you mean submissions, which get leaked by voters, there's no timeline for that. First round voting is October 13-23, so we'll probably get a list of submissions after October 13 if we get one.

This base getting outta pocket again.

Not that Renaissance isn't a perfect album, but IF you had to remove 3 songs, which would you pick? I'd say:

 

Plastic Off The Sofa

All Up In Your Mind

Move

I will NOT tolerate any AHAP or Energy slander in here 

 

For me..

Church Girl

All Up in Your Mind

Thique

To clarify

 

Tracklist Has A Skip is cute and I like it until the Tony Montana reference and then I’m…no, Beyoncé. Next.

 

Virgo’s Snooze is career-best 10/10 material until the extra as hell vocal acrobatics which she should have saved. Restraint >

replace 3 inch (flaccid) with Deja Vu or Love on Top. otherwise great picks.

The things y'all tell yourselves

 

Nothing masterclass about this rollout

It does show that Beyonce is capable of delivering quality music without visuals. After a decade of others crying otherwise. And it also shows that there is organic interest in Beyonce as an artist. The current generation of r&b girls fail to showcase that and they cant properly crossover to mainstream.

 

Messy rollout aside, Beyonce fans and stans have something to be proud of. She is that ONE.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone slander 6 inch D*ck like this oh wow-

 

Love On Top was definitely a contender

Yeah I wasn’t sure if submissions were officially released or not but you answered my question!  
 

Should help generate some talk around the album again when voters do leak submissions, if that’s the case.

of course! also forgot to mention but sometimes we do get official confirmation of submissions by way of "for your consideration" ads — not sure if Beyoncé runs those at this stage though.

I'm just playing, I like 6 inch. it's just above average, which is the ideal size to me.and the song is good too just not Top 5-worthy. 

Love on Top always been a timeless classic, like I can't believe there was a time that song didn't exist.

So looking back on your commentary since the album dropped, you really don’t like anything on this album? 
 

Wtf, Kelly and Michelle are sounding the top of their game this year. NOW is the time to record a new DC album.

We should’ve gotten a DC reunion EP right after Beychella that would’ve been so cute
