Best Beyonce instrumentals?

I need your fave Beyonce instrumentals, and don't just give me Naughty Girl or Drunk In Love, I want y'all to deep dive into your fave instrumentals from her discography 

I read the OP and I know they're super well known but Formation and Single Ladies must be mentioned. Their instrumentals have both gone viral for being unique. Single Ladies has a weird computer game like sample throughout the hook and has a weird chord structure and then Formation is also based around a weird sample and a karaoke version of the track that aimed to recreate the sample has gone viral for being a relatively close yet odd remake of it.

 

Anything off Renaissance has always sounded immaculate to me as well as Bootylicious - the guitar riff sample is perfect and I love the change of baseline in the chorus to give it extra oomph.

I've always loved the Video Phone instrumental, it's so nefarious.

We have to admire how someone heard Single Ladies instrumental and decided that there's gonna be song out of it

Hit-Boy and Beyoncé producing together is just magic

Similar to Get Me Bodied where there is very little happening melodically (basically nothing) and yet Beyoncé built an entire song atop it, with harmonies and her own vocal production taking the place of chords that usually would be present in instrumentals.

 

IMO this really shows her skill at riding a beat and crafting a final song. She took a rap approach but added R&B and pop sensibilities in how she was able to create a fully realized sung experience.

I was just thinking about how insane this instrumental is

 

 

Cuff It would be it, sounds rich and gorgeous. Hold Up and Countdown are up there too …and obviously All Night.

 

 

I always thought she was one of the best produced pop girls around.
