I agree this is a whole new side of Beyonce I've never seen before and that body is workin'. Don't think this will be a crossover hit.
As somebody said earlier, Bey has reached status where she can whatever the fuck she wants, and IT (what she does) becomes the trend.
Lol. It's a yankee (american) vs west indian thing. Unfortunately for B, no matter how bad she looks and dances etc...she can't mess with Rihanna's sexuality. It's innate in Caribbean women. Yes, B is bad...she is more talented, better looking etc than Rih Rih. However, Rih can out "sex" B anyday.
Had this convo with the young boys from my old block last summer lol
Dope beat/song..... Dope video/concept.....
Why was that so hard to type for the first few commentators?
Btw....Rihanna fat forehead ass should never be compared to Beyonce. Or mentioned in Beyonce conversations. Theres a lot of "sexy" women in entertainment.....but Beyonce got the sexy thing, the talent thing and more. Give props where its due and stop reaching.

ya thread is turning into some cat shit
I enjoyed rihanna's album as well...first time I ever listened to an entire album of hers
It's Sunday. Most of these dudes are in the beauty parlor getting their perms touched up for the week.
The video imagery is striking. The message is confused, inconsistent and late from her. Should have done something earlier instead of singing about surfboards.
The Bill Gates reference, the Red Lobster lyric....wtf.
Still trying to appeal to ratchet in that way is so condescending.

Beyoncé Used New Orleans Documentary Footage in 'Formation' 'With Permission'
Yesterday, Beyoncé began her full-on assault on Super Bowl weekend by releasing a new song and video, dubbed "Formation" and set in New Orleans. Though Beyoncé's releases tend to go off as meticulously as her choreography, the release of "Formation" hit a snag when filmmaker Chris Black wrote on Twitter that the music video used footage of New Orleans from a 2013 documentary short he produced called That B.E.A.T. without consulting anyone involved. The short's director, Abteen Bagheri, alsochimed in, writing, "I'm not mad. It's the sad reality of the music business. Doesn't affect my friends' and my work, but not cool."
Black told the Fader that he and Bagheri received emails asking for permission to use That B.E.A.T. footage on Friday from another director, Lily Keber, whose work also appears in the "Formation" video. They did not give her a definitive answer, as they did not own the rights to the footage in That B.E.A.T., which was produced by Nokia in partnership with the Sundance Channel. Black and Bagheri tried to reach out to Nokia, but the employees who commissioned the footage were no longer at the company.
Still, in a statement from a representative today, Beyoncé's team claims that the footage was obtained through the proper means, which means discussions with the Sundance Channel and likely Nokia:
The documentary footage was used with permission and licensed from the owner of the footage. They were given proper compensation. The footage was provided to us by the filmmaker's production company. The filmmaker is listed in the credits for additional photography direction. We are thankful that they granted us permission.
The video's director, Melina Matsuokas, gave credit to the filmmakers on Twitter as well. In a later email, Bagheri wrote that, "It seems they've given us credit now, which is all that was important to me." He also tweeted a thank you to Beyoncé and Matsuokas.
so when does the cd drop? 
Shut up nigga
Video is dope and she looks great!
Simply minds are satisfied.
BUT, she had opportunity to actually make a song with a message. Then she jumps on going to red lobster, bill gates, and get ya song played on the radio wtf? Had to appeal to the ratchets. Thats what sells, but that's also what will not allow this song to become a timeless classic.
Video is cool. Respect the Blackness/country pride in the song.
But I'm just an old school dude who misses good music, with good lyrics.
She don't make music for me tho, just a Bgol rant.
Video may be about black empowerment but song content is straight garbage. Have yall even read the lyrics?
Right sis, the song lyrics didn't even go with the video.
Beyoncé not even the finest one on this pic, I'll take those two on the left and right side of her.

Fuck red lobster, as long as that video motivates obama and other politicians into actually doing something about the issues she
touches on then it's job done, and well done. Though I won't hold my breath. I may not like the trap-music she uses, but I was too
hasty to dismiss it all together. She has done a great thing with that vid and I salute her.

understood
and it aint a rant you make a solid argument.
but he fact she performed the song at the SUPER BOWL making an X on the field...
I can't pick that nit especially with the unmitigated TRASH that is considered music nowadays having NO value on either end.
But you are right...but I don;t think they asking J Cole or Kendrick to perform anytime soon...
Just a thought though...
has Drake EVER made a "black pride, positive song" ever?
Imagery is more important sometimes, so ill take it; I like that she is pushing the imagery!!! we can nit pick and some will, but I wont; Alot of you want artist to be this or that, she giving something and she gave something on a national stage; she gets my props for that
