I feel like they can sing “im black” it’s not like they are saying the n word. It’s just part of the song, like you said we don’t have to identify with every aspect of a song

That's probably the only part of the song I don't actually sing. It does feel very weird to say that as a non-black person.  Twitter Hive is sure as sh*t not stopping me from singing the rest of the song though.

“I Was Here” is severely underrated. It made me cry the first time I herd it, i won’t ever forget that. 

 

Her most underappreciated ballad. Vocals mam!

I think it’s time we pressure Columbia into sending it to radios tho. 

Yes but how do we do this?

 

Tbh I don't count AHAP as a single. We deserve a 3rd and 4th one. Is not much effort and Beyoncé doesn't have to interrupt her family time for that.

I don’t know. Bee emojis on their socials? How did we do it with Cuff It?

Haha yeah, I forgot some no stop whining and bullying happened with CI despite the 2M streams it was pulling consistently. 

Well Twitter Hive needs to coordinate an attack.

They are coming but they’ll come on her terms and on her tempo and time…You need to realize she filmed 16 music videos for a film while having a family. She has chosen to take her sweet time with it to not stress herself out and ya’ll will have to deal!

And she'll have to deal with low views and no profit lol

and she’ll deal with having her first studio album miss the #1, her sales slowly falling down to 100-200k and her next tours struggling to sell if she doesn’t get off that bullshit train she’s stubbornly been riding on these past years

I agree with most of this, but all signs point to "something" happening behind the scenes to cause the delay rather than it being some kind of grand play for perfection on her part (from tea to the timeline of the various pillars of the campaign).

Now, not too much. Bey has ensured she'll always be in profit. Always. These big streaming deals she brokers will keep her and her business bathing in coins. By my understanding, she produces her visuals in-house (fronts the upfront cost) and sells/licenses it to the Netflix's, Disney+'s etc. So, if she produces the visuals for $5 million and snatches a $20 million broadcast deal, that's $15 million profit before we've even seen a thing. 

 

With Bey, there's also an intangible price-point on her "cool" and ability to "capture the zeitgeist", that will make these big companies always want to be in partnership with her and they'll pay big coins for it. It's equally impressive and annoying (as it's probably one of the top reasons she's so blasé with her promotional efforts. She's getting PAID-PAID regardless).

Calling Heated Afrobeats inspired is certainly a choice. Especially when it is not (lol) and MOVE is sitting right there. 

It has some afrobeat influences. I believe it was co-produced by some of the same people that produced Find Your Way Back

My t-shirt has just arrived 

 

Totally worth it!

they asked the TN Titans (team where Bey will be performing at on Saturday) to sing their favorite songs and half of them said Single Ladies, one said Drunk In Love, one said Until The End Of Time and one said Dance For You.

 I hope they don’t have tickets because they are going to be so disappointed

Same, I’m convinced everyone is just their avi until proven otherwise

This one was much better, but of course the white boy said Single Ladies

 

 

I can't believe I am seeing her twice next weekend.

 

 

After all the fuzz I also took a look and its been confirmed: Hive is by far the hottest fanbase

For everyone who needs to hear this, Heated is Dancehall crossover.... not Afrobeats

I think you're thinking of MOVE. The same producer of FYWB, Already, and Keys to the Kingdom produced MOVE. But Heated is more of Drake and Beyonce's standard R&B collaborators.

This is a much more valid observation than calling Heated afrobeat inspired  these critics hear drums and call it Africa
