I am going to need tiktok hive to stop saying tyrant is just a horny song.  It is multifaceted 

Edited July 8, 20251 yr by sillycilla

Heard Tyrant on the radio this morning and nearly had a heart attack in the Uber

 

But also i'm South African and Beyonce is basically a God here

 

 

I hate that she was so p-ssy about shoes back then, cause what do you mean you paid for some haute couture shoes just to use them one time??? 

thank god shes not afraid of boots anymore

Uhm guys… it's rising really quickly

 

 

Can you imagine if this lowkey became song of the summer… but then it is parkwood.

 

I'll see myself out.

The way this could be the Cuff It of this album but do you know what Parkwood and Beyonce are going to do to help it? Nothing... Absolutely nothing. 

The way we act like traumatized human beings with severe PTSD the moment a song starts to show signs of picking up steam and potentially being successful 

 

Tuesdays are the days songs get sent to radio iirc

C'mon Columbia/Sony, do something.

Can a gay dream of a 600k update today?

Cuff it received an official tiktok-sound inspired remix with new verses and vocals, an accapella and instrumental package, an official single push complete with single artwork and promotional pushes via both beyonce and parkwood on instagram. 

 

It's not as unlikely for Tyrant to get a push as we make out in this new trilogy era. Let's see. I'm not holding my breath.

It deserves to be the Cuff It of this album but I'm sure they will not waste the chance to sabotage it.

absolutely love this article which articulately speaks to my thread on media literacy and the imagery of this current era. 

Quote

Beyoncé has been one of the defining artists of our time from a sociopolitical standpoint since at least 2013's eponymous surprise album. But the Cowboy Carter Tour begs the question of whether her art is actually meeting the present moment. With Trump's newly signed bill effectively deading upward class mobility for future generations and the ongoing conflict in Gaza, a lot of Americans understandably don't just feel betrayed by the American flag, they're outright rejecting it. For them, the cost of America isn't outweighed by its promise, so why continue to stake a claim in its current iteration when it can be discarded in favor of something completely new? From the instability of the housing and job markets to the upheaval of federal institutions as they relate to healthcare and the arts, the current moment seems to call for something a bit stronger than allusions and metaphors.

 

Take Bob Vylan, for example, the English punk-rap duo that was recently dropped by their talent agency, UTA, after calling for a free Palestine at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival. There's also the way Kendrick Lamar explicitly called out the U.S. using its imagery during his Super Bowl halftime show performance earlier this year — but even that, arguably, pales in comparison to the fearlessness of protester Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who crashed the show in support of Gaza and Sudan and was later arrested. More recently, Bad Bunny called U.S. dates for his upcoming Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour "unnecessary," presumably due to the current administration's targeting of immigrants and Latino people. The same day Beyoncé played Landover, Bad Bunny dropped his "Nuevayol" music video, in which he references the 1977 takeover of the Statue of Liberty by Puerto Rican nationalists and trolls Trump by having an imitator apologize to immigrants in America. These are the kinds of in-your-face, explicit actions that the current climate calls for. They're naturally divisive and inherently messy moments (particularly Bob Vylan's), sure, but they make the point unignorable and unmistakable. 

 

Queen Bey's desire to let her art speak for itself is paramount to her brand, but without her speaking on her own intentions as they relate to Cowboy Carter's political elements, the project can only stand for so much. For what it's worth, she has spoken plainly and explicitly through the Democratic electoral framework — the effectiveness of which varies wildly depending on who you ask — for the past decade and change, stumping for Obama, Clinton and Harris during their respective races. (She also shared an Instagram post in support of Biden in 2020.)

 

If Beyoncé was fully invested in the principles and framework behind those symbols and aesthetics, then she would likely agree that the primary way her cultural revolution will result in a significant improvement of the lived realties and material conditions of oppressed people is through a mass redistribution of wealth and the dismantling of capitalism — two things that are at direct odds to the ethos and essence of what we understand to be the Beyoncé brand. All this is to say, for all its technical achievements and innovations, the Cowboy Carter Tour is a stark reminder that an institution like America will only embrace revolutionary aesthetics in art so long as it can keep selling the dream and concept of revolution, whilst ensuring a material and physical revolution remains virtually impossible. 

 

Taken as a moment of personal and artistic catharsis, Cowboy Carter and its accompanying tour are two of the strongest musical offerings of the 21st century. Taken as a political statement, things get a bit shaky. But that's precisely why Beyoncé remains this century's greatest pop star; no other artist is inspiring this level of debate and conversation on so many different planes at the same time. And they're certainly not packing stadiums and breaking records outside of their core genre while doing so. As the tour interludes remind us, Cowboy Carter is just the second installment of Beyoncé's yet-to-be-concluded album trilogy. Of course, nothing is confirmed, but it's likely those interludes also include bits of a film that will presumably thread together all three albums. 

 

And that's probably the most important thing to keep in mind as the Cowboy Carter Tour approaches its close in Las Vegas on July 26. As much as parts of Renaissance gained new meaning upon Cowboy Carter's release (the "un-American life" she sings of in "I'm That Girl," for example), Queen Bey's vision is still incomplete until Act III arrives. Until then, we'll continue to sit with Cowboy Carter and all its complexities, an apt soundtrack for a country slowly crumbling under the weight of its own contradictions.

#1. TYRANT (RE) *new peak*

 

You would think she'd be excited about Tyrant, she usually prefers pushing her more urban tracks, and this one is taking off naturally

Did I imagine this? Didn't they send Church Girl to radio as the 2nd single from Renaissance, but they were bullied into changing it to Cuff It as it was taking off at the time.

You didn't imagine it, when Cuff It was starting to blow up, Church Girl got an add date for radio, the Hive threw a fit, and it was cancelled and Cuff It was sent instead

You know what? This article was well-articulated, and I relate to a lot of it. Me personally, as a fan, I always jump to defend B and the double standards she faces (+ a million reasons for unreasonable hate), but this conversation does not have me as invested because for B's imagery to feel revolutionary (even through the simple acts of rebellion and owning her-story/history) and provocative with Cowboy Carter, the silence on a genocide just simply does not add any real weight to the moment and to the criticism of America the institution (including its racism and imperialism). The capitalist aspects, I actually embrace because capital is the game, and I am glad B plays it! In fact, I can even come to terms with the notion of proving haters wrong about what it means to be American and the elusive promise of the American Dream through their business successes. I don't want to get more political here. 

 

 

But back to the other main point... once again B is the subject to immense conversation. She stays.... winning cuz this bodes well for the next era. But I won't lie, moving forward, B's silence on the Gaza genocide, Sudan genocide and civil war, will make her 'statements' ring hollow. As such a culturally aware and purposeful artist... things do feel a bit empty this era. But that is just my reading here.  

Also, I've been repping Tyrant since the start... the world deserves to JAM TF OUT to this banger. RISEEEEE

She wouldn't push it either way lol

If tyrant truly takes off in the way that it should, I think her team and or Columbia will give it the right amount of push. I mean look at cuff it? Yea we had to bully them a bit but cuff it was too viral for them to ignore and that's why it made sense for them to push it instead of church girl. It's not like a 2000s/2010s song (diva) where it wouldn't necessarily made sense. This is a song from her most recent project. They tried to push ii most wanted via radio and playlisting a bit but the GP kinda rejected it. Tyrant is taking off a lot more organically so Let's see how it plays out the next couple of days with playlisting etc… 

 

I'm glad the US is seemingly become tyrant's biggest market, bodes well for CC on the billboard 200
