and video..

I guess its a statement to how void current music is of real socio/political commentary that they are acting like Beyoncé is friggin Fela Kuti because of one song...a video...and some costumes on some back up dancers...

People are honestly just stupid right now....

it's Beyoncé.... really??

I don't get it...

the imagery in the video isn't super powerful...it's a clever commentary..it's effective.... but I mean it's not a Public Enemy or NWA video...

She's saying I'm Black...and Black people are getting fukked with right now... She's not even saying it in a mean way...lol..

in the context of Black social commentary in the Arts..... I mean it was Beyoncé... it was Beyoncé's version of that, and it was cool....the song bangs....

People who have a problem with that..honestly...... they suspect to me. You got another agenda going on if yo azz got to act like Beyoncé or what she's saying is threat to anything..


over analyzing Beyoncé's lyrics is just too much...her lyrics aren't supposed to be deep or subliminal or controversial ...she not even coherent sometimes... I mean I'm dissing her, but her shit ain't supposed to warrant linguistic analysis...lol...
