Usually I just zone out whenever Jay Z has a guest verse on a song so I never really paid attention to that line but wow… If you skip to 1:20 you'll see what he is boasting about and comparing himself to.

Dreajae Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 1 hour ago, EmailMySwift said: Whether or not this particular instance of abuse happened, Tina was physically abused by Ike so for him to recount a sexual situation and describe himself as someone who bites (Mike Tyson) and hits (Ike) women is grossssssssssssss no matter what kind of positive spin you'd like to give to it. What the actual ****? Foreplay in a foyer, ****** up my Warhol Slid the panties right to the side Ain't got the time to take drawers off On sight, catch a charge I might Beat the box up, like Mike in '97, I bite I'm Ike Turner, turn up baby, no, I don't play "Now eat the cake, Anna Mae Said, "Eat the cake, Anna Mae You can feel how you feel but Tina's fake fans aren't buying her music enough and seem to be trying to make Drunk In Love and Beyonces status Tina's legacy. Tina had such a hard life and the faux outrage is tiring. There's been a weekly attempt to call Beyonce's ethics into question now that the tour has started. Tina was mentally abused and battered by the industry and her family well before this lyric materialized. And yall never thought to ask if Tina was asked permission over the lyric in the first place.

DoctorIce Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 It's really not that oUtRaGeOuS but it is a tacky lyric that trivialises domestic abuse, fictional incident or not. At least it's not the most distasteful pop lyric of 2013, Katy "eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer" Perry still holds that crown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment is kind of revolting. 50 minutes ago, QueenBeyoncé said: “Outrage” at something that NEVER happen.. you should get checked out for that The fact that you are being this pedantic means you know it is bad To take such a literal interpretation of this situation is kind of a self-read about your assumed lack of ability to understand reference and nuance. The lyric is a reference to a scene of domestic abuse in a movie about a women who famously was a victim of such abuse. To say that it doesn’t matter because a specific incident of abuse ~didn’t happen in real life~ is quite disgusting really. Most people are just confused as to why Bey would allow a lyric like this given that her idol is Tina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICLDXU4HS Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 To each their own, but I don’t really have anything against an edgy pop culture reference. It wasn’t meant literally. I did find it weird Beyoncé allowed that line considering she’s met and performed for and with Tina, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 1 hour ago, allforyou said: It was an odd lyric but the song is almost 10 years old what's the point of bringing it up now Attention and faux outrage. It's particularly comical seeing which fan bases are showcasing mock outrage, considering the behaviour of their faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
