Cowboy Carter Album Reaction

[00:00:00] What's up Recap Kickback Family, it's me, Shapel. And I have a special bonus podcast for

[00:00:23] our listeners this week. Today we are talking about the most popular topic on the internet,

[00:00:28] the most trending of trending. We're talking about the legendary Beyonce Knowles, a global icon of

[00:00:35] music, fashion and empowerment with an electrified stage presence and an unparalleled vocal prowess.

[00:00:41] Beyonce has captivated audiences worldwide for over two decades as a 32-time Grammy award-winning

[00:00:47] artist. She has solidified her status as one of the greatest performers of our time. Beyonce's

[00:00:53] musical achievements have are unmatched by plenty of people. I mean nobody can touch all the

[00:00:59] greatness of the Queen. Beyonce is a trailblazer for social change, advocated for women's rights and

[00:01:04] racial equality from a chart-topping hit to groundbreaking visual albums. Beyonce's influence

[00:01:10] transcends boundaries making her a symbol of strength and inspiration for millions. She's not just

[00:01:14] a star, she's a phenomenon constantly redefining the meaning of startup with each groundbreaking product.

[00:01:22] And this project here is more than groundbreaking, although it is touted as a country album. And it

[00:01:28] very much is this album establishes itself almost as Beyonce has its own genre of music. And with me

[00:01:34] to discuss all things Cowboy Carter and Beyonce, a card-carrying member of the hive with me

[00:01:43] to lead our astute panel of Beyonce experts into Mari Forth. Mari, what's up?

[00:01:48] What's up, she-pele? He said that. It's like, oh everybody, we don't know

[00:01:52] about the new way you were going there because we were all like, oh, if you could be talking about me.

[00:01:59] Yes, I'm so glad that we have decided to open up the kickback and invite you more guests

[00:02:06] and discuss the Queen herself. I am so excited to talk about this and I'm so excited to hear

[00:02:12] about the different perspectives on this album. I swear, you go online and everybody has a

[00:02:17] different thought process about it so I can't wait. Yeah, this is going to be a fun time. Now,

[00:02:24] Mari, we got a lot to discuss and yeah, we brought in some heavy hitters for this Beyonce panel.

[00:02:29] We had to go and make sure that the Beehive was covered completely. And so starting first with my

[00:02:35] co-host from the below deck Bravo, Rehappup feed Sasha and I cover this every week on Wednesdays

[00:02:43] on YouTube. Sasha, we're from below deck to Beyonce, Cowboy Carter. Welcome, welcome to the panel.

[00:02:50] Thank you. My first time under you kept kickback and of course it's really queen. I'm so happy to be here.

[00:02:58] Yeah, this is the perfect time for you to come. We're going to get your recap kickback eventually,

[00:03:02] but I think Beyonce, welcome everybody to the table. And so I had to make sure that we had you on

[00:03:09] because I saw your tweets and I'm going to have a lot of questions about those too. You ready?

[00:03:13] Can't, can't wait.

[00:03:15] All right. All right. Cool. Also with me, the expert of all things black by Anne reality TV,

[00:03:23] it's Nicole Weaver Nicole. Welcome to the kickback.

[00:03:26] Thank you for inviting me. I am so excited, nervous,

[00:03:32] building all the feelings, still digesting this. So I'm very excited to talk to everyone about it.

[00:03:38] Of course, great to have you. And finally last but not least,

[00:03:42] you cannot have a kingdom without a Pharaoh. We got Pharaoh from the reality kingdom podcast.

[00:03:47] Pharaoh, what's up? What's up, Chapelle? Thank you for having me. It's so sweet to be here. The intro

[00:03:53] was tea. You was filling all that tea in that intro. Thank you for that intro for Miss Beyoncé.

[00:03:57] Thank you. Look, I know I got to do this right because if I don't, they will come for me and

[00:04:02] y'all know who they is. I was very surprised. Look, I had to put some effort into the intro

[00:04:12] because again, this is Beyoncé. So it needs to be high caliber, you know what I'm saying? Like,

[00:04:16] we got to make sure that we treat this product right because this is this is the queen. Y'all

[00:04:20] the queen of music right now would say of of all genres, Mari. We have cowboy Carter here,

[00:04:27] Beyoncé's first four-way into eight country album. You've seen her do country music before but

[00:04:33] this was sounded as a country album. What were your initial reactions when you heard that this

[00:04:38] was going to be a thing? Just like the thought process. My initial thought was like I'm intrigued. Like I

[00:04:45] am like a military brat that is basically from the north up here in DC. I have absolutely no

[00:04:52] connection to country music but it's Beyoncé. So I was like, oh Beyoncé's trying country?

[00:04:57] I guess I'm listening to a country album. You know what I'm saying? So when it was announced

[00:05:01] that like the Super Bowl and all that stuff, I was like okay we're getting into country and

[00:05:07] I'm glad that I gave it a listen. I'm glad that like she's like forcing people like me who aren't

[00:05:14] as you know musically inclined to country to actually stop and listen because I feel like

[00:05:21] I've learned so much about the genre itself. I feel like I've learned so much about new different

[00:05:27] artists from this album and stuff like that. So I'm just glad to be here. I'm you know I'm

[00:05:34] somebody who is a total layman to this new genre. I'm like, yep I have my favorites. I have my

[00:05:39] lawyer Lee's favorites and I'm just here to listen to the queen. Okay and Sasha you are not from

[00:05:45] the north. You're from Oklahoma. Are you a country western girl? I mean no no. My family very much

[00:05:52] is right like moving from India. I think there's only so many genres you can't your my little

[00:05:59] brain can't have while I still kept Bollywood. So you know I was like no this not for me it's sure

[00:06:08] but my mom has gotten into line dancing so she has now and she goes to like the senior center in

[00:06:15] Oklahoma. So you know anyway the point is she has now I think become a member of the hive because

[00:06:22] she is emailing her teacher to be like why haven't you dropped the Texas Holden line dance

[00:06:28] because my daughter is doing it and you're I am behind. Look the Texas Holden line dance I don't

[00:06:36] know I you know again I don't want the hive coming from me but I have yet to see a good one yet so

[00:06:40] are you show you show me the one that we supposed to know as a family. They all they good but I mean

[00:06:45] I'm not that's not the line dance I'm used to. I'm a little too sensitive to the right a little

[00:06:49] spin and that's it. Yeah same and I must say I did I went to Nashville a few weeks ago and granted

[00:06:56] under the influence of maybe alcohol but I did make the whole during our line dance session

[00:07:03] I did ask this black instructor to teach us Texas Holden oh no like I was like this is not I'm from

[00:07:10] Oklahoma and like there are five steps and so you have given me seven just on one side and not

[00:07:16] to repeat it all ain't no way so they're trying but I it's too complicated and I'm old and I don't

[00:07:23] want to learn any dance. Look I get that Nicole Beyonce unveils this whole country western album

[00:07:31] theme at the Super Bowl as she's sitting there in the crowd with this big country western hair

[00:07:37] she got the blonde hair or like she's eating wings not even paying attention as the world is exploding

[00:07:42] were you in that moment a part of the craziness that was happening online while Beyonce was completely

[00:07:47] unbothered at the Super Bowl. Yes I was I first of all like Renaissance was already so big for me.

[00:07:56] Oh actually let me take it back a little further I feel like I'm more of a recent

[00:08:03] behind convert lemonade did something to me like lemonade she was already playing with genres there

[00:08:11] I loved the rock that we got um don't hurt yourself is but then daddy lessons and like her

[00:08:19] daddy lessons and then the video for formation and how it was so like Louisiana like um both sides

[00:08:28] my family has roots in Louisiana so it just I don't know it really called to me in a different kind of

[00:08:34] way and I've lived all over like I've also lived in California so the western part of it

[00:08:41] also um feels like homey and you know so I didn't realize how excited I'm not even like a country fan

[00:08:51] really but it really does somehow feel like home and going back to your roots like when we get

[00:08:58] to all Louisiana I was like don't maybe cry it's been too many too long for me not being in that

[00:09:04] state like yeah that's my that's my um fresh up on my Beyonce history yes and speaking of

[00:09:12] Beyonce history Pharaoh okay so we have Renaissance as act one Beyonce does a very specific type

[00:09:19] of music in that Renaissance is an album like nothing she's ever done before and then she switches

[00:09:24] to this how did you feel with the country being the the act two to Renaissance is act one and you know

[00:09:30] I'm not gonna throw anybody on the bus but I've been seeing online people been saying cowboy Carter

[00:09:35] greater than Renaissance child and I might be one of those people okay let me tell you why let me

[00:09:43] tell you why let me tell you why so when Renaissance dropped I'm gonna be honest I wasn't gagged

[00:09:50] didn't gag once and it was a grower so now there's no skips on Renaissance I fully understand all the

[00:09:56] hype I get it y'all ate that up but in the moment when it dropped I was almost like Beyonce where'd

[00:10:02] you go like I was almost a little bit taken you know there was a disconnect so me and Beyonce had

[00:10:07] a disconnect we had a tipple in our relationship and then when this when this album dropped I honestly

[00:10:13] wasn't expecting to fall in love the way that I did and then when I heard it is when I was like

[00:10:20] oh she got me she snatched me right back and I really love Renaissance I really love this

[00:10:26] album and to me this album had like a it's weird if I felt like a special like connection to this

[00:10:32] album more so than any of our other albums I don't know why I don't know if it's because I'm from

[00:10:37] Texas and I grew up in an area where there was a lot of people who did like country music maybe that's

[00:10:42] what it was but I never liked it so well I had a face but it was never a big face or anything but yeah

[00:10:49] I'm happy but this brought you back they brought me back yeah okay so look I was watching the

[00:10:57] Super Bowl like everybody else and I was thinking okay that was a cool little Beyonce commercial

[00:11:01] look at Beyonce doing commercials and I get on Twitter because I'm paying a tits on a football game

[00:11:06] I'm not thinking about what actually happened on the commercial and I just see people like wait

[00:11:10] is Beyonce trying to send us a message which is happy did Beyonce it's like bro y'all just be

[00:11:14] watching commercials and stuff like that trying to find Beyonce Easter eggs and all the commercials

[00:11:18] y'all so crazy I went on about my business boy was I wrong Marie the internet exploded because

[00:11:24] Beyonce basically announced this album drop in the middle of the largest the most televised

[00:11:28] audience in the city the Super Bowl of this year yeah she dropped two songs Texas Holder

[00:11:34] of 16 characters and also announced a country album in the middle of the biggest game and nobody

[00:11:40] paid attention to the second half of the game I don't care it was born in the beginning with nobody

[00:11:44] cared about either of those teams so like it so I was like yes Beyonce break that internet she said

[00:11:51] like more than five words in that commercial I was already gagging over that I was gagging at all

[00:11:57] the Beyonce we got in the commercial and then she comes and hits me upside the head with two

[00:12:03] two really good singles and I was like dog you can't who was this new Beyonce she was like

[00:12:09] signing autographs the other day I was like who is this person and letting people touch her because

[00:12:16] that way one way hugged her and I think I almost fell over because what do you mean you're now

[00:12:20] allowing people to touch you right even if Beyonce allows people to touch her I don't think her

[00:12:27] fans allow people to touch her during that commercial there's a moment where I think Beyonce like

[00:12:33] falls on the floor and I heard a collective gasp around the world like something happened I said

[00:12:36] y'all she acted this woman is active um look how'd you kill me I I want and I I don't know if this

[00:12:44] is controversial but I want Beyonce to go back to acting like I feel that's what I felt during

[00:12:50] Renaissance like it was a whole vision I kind of wish the movie dived more into that vision

[00:12:56] the meaning behind the the robot and and everything like that but like just how she emoted on that

[00:13:04] stage turning into the robot and everything like that I was just like and the commercial was just a

[00:13:09] little dab of that I was like if you I bet you if she was put back into a film she would kill it

[00:13:15] she would kill it yeah yeah they say act three is going to be the musical or something

[00:13:22] maybe Beyonce girl you don't know you don't think of musical I feel like you know I feel like

[00:13:29] I'm hoping I'm hoping it's kind of rock or something I've been seeing rock lately or just another

[00:13:34] genre so I'm interested to see what she has she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve I see

[00:13:40] so I'm interested because I was not expecting this yeah but when you got the first two singles

[00:13:44] Pharaoh you get 16 candles and Texas hold them and these are songs that are like no other

[00:13:50] beats in characters yeah characters see again don't come up already this is why I brought you out

[00:13:56] like yeah yeah correct me okay look 16 carriages Texas hold them they drop their row you hear these

[00:14:04] songs this isn't your Beyonce but do you instantly connect with those songs or they have to

[00:14:09] grow on you how do you feel when you hear these two they were they instantly they instantly connected

[00:14:14] for me they did and which was surprising because they were a little different it I kind of

[00:14:20] when she announced that it was going to be a country album I kind of just thought of that

[00:14:23] he lessons she did other genres before so I was like open-minded to it so when the songs like

[00:14:30] when I heard the songs that same day I was like oh she low key A already and I was actually excited

[00:14:36] for the rest of the album because I was they were two different vibes Texas hold them and 16 characters

[00:14:42] two totally different vibes but I liked both of them like you can tell she's I don't know like even

[00:14:48] though it's a genre that she doesn't typically do she's still excelling it and I don't know

[00:14:53] that's just mother I that's just mother like she she got me she got me all right off honestly yeah

[00:14:59] Mari so you don't like country-West music you're not familiar with the genre it's not your thing

[00:15:03] you never connected to it Beyonce sings it there's a connection why what is it about Beyonce that may

[00:15:09] country-western music so palatable to you when you heard Texas hold them in 16 carriages okay

[00:15:16] so I will amend that there have been like you know there's that black people slash like country crossover

[00:15:23] where it's like before he cheats is like on all of our like yeah we do love caring yeah exactly you

[00:15:30] know Cheetahia yeah coaxid there's a few yeah Joleen actually really one of my one of my favorites

[00:15:38] so like so I would never say I've never connected with country I think the main thing that does

[00:15:43] actually draw me to country music is the storytelling I love storytelling and music like I love

[00:15:49] rap that tells a story like you're you're weeding a thread through a song I love that type of music

[00:15:57] and so so Beyonce dropping both Texas hold them and 16 carriages like Texas hold them all like okay

[00:16:05] this is the dance this is like immediately people are doing the the trying to come up with the

[00:16:09] line dances I was like that's easy to connect to it gets stuck in your head 16 carriages how to

[00:16:15] grow on me and like the more I listen to it and the more like I thought about I was like man this is

[00:16:21] good like it's so good and so like for for me what what brings me to it is her storytelling and the

[00:16:28] reason why I think this is one of those albums where it's it's gonna grow on me no matter what

[00:16:33] because again I'm not used to the genre but I have to take in all of the things because she's throwing

[00:16:40] so many things at you and like just one song and each time you listen to it you discover something

[00:16:46] different either a background vocal or you finally understand a metaphor that she said or like

[00:16:52] it's too much she thinks too much I can't it's I don't think you can ever just listen to it

[00:16:59] listen to it once and then be like okay I like it or I don't I really think y'all say one of those

[00:17:04] things you have to listen over and over again before you're like okay yeah I've made up my mind

[00:17:09] you know I think I get it or I don't get it yeah the I'll say it's like the queen of the subliminal

[00:17:16] messaging right like in her music you listen to it you hear one thing and then someone will write

[00:17:21] a piece I think piece on Twitter you start reading like the I'll say they're all of that it did just

[00:17:25] all of this and she did this it well you know what happened and then who did it you know you find

[00:17:30] you find yourself in a world where I'm all like Beyonce teaching me so much stuff about this about

[00:17:34] this one song is one genre this one artist that you didn't even expect to learn but she's also

[00:17:39] like that with her marketing Sasha a long time ago you know we saw the rollout for for Renaissance

[00:17:46] and in some of the earliest the earliest promos for that I read this in a time article by Taylor

[00:17:52] Crumpton she's a pop music pop culture and politics writer from Dallas and she was talking about

[00:17:59] you can see the country western stuff already in the messaging back then she's wearing like the

[00:18:05] frilly like jack is the leather even when she showed up at the Grammys her look was very country

[00:18:10] western how does she do it Sasha how does Beyonce keep she's a master at layering you know even in

[00:18:16] her music but also when it comes to storytelling in the marketing so I think that's the piece right

[00:18:21] that Beyonce creates and new insert whatever that may be because she is the one that dropped the

[00:18:30] album out of nowhere and then we were all listening to it right everything she does has now become

[00:18:37] the moment and not to be cliche but her marketing is because she's a force right and she's like

[00:18:45] I'm always going to keep working and doing the next best thing because I sure just performed

[00:18:51] we're on the high from that and she said no actually it's me and I am going to now steal that right like

[00:18:58] there's always a new way that she's announced an album if you think about it so to me

[00:19:04] the normal is that nothing is normal so it's just it's really exciting to study her in that way

[00:19:12] I think because when you look at her marketing she's like yeah I know that technically she could drop

[00:19:17] an album overnight and it's still going to be ridiculous but with Renaissance and we know now right

[00:19:23] that act two the country one was supposed to be act one that's why the last song right goes really

[00:19:29] well into the next one so like Amen goes into time that girl but she decided to flip it

[00:19:36] the the the concert was still country like she that some of the outfits she came out even in

[00:19:44] even in San Francisco were country and a lot of what folks were posting were the silver hats right

[00:19:52] and the the fringe all of those outfits so I think it's always been a part of it it's just she was

[00:19:59] like oh American needs Renaissance the party before Renaissance the the sad which again it's fine

[00:20:08] we're here and I'm a sheep everything she puts out I like so I don't even care period

[00:20:16] Nicole okay so we see Beyonce obviously playing with the genre of country music you talked about how

[00:20:21] don't hurt yourself was one of the standouts from lemonade and it's obviously Beyonce playing

[00:20:26] with rock music rumor on the street act three rock are you excited for this how does it make you feel

[00:20:34] when you hear Beyonce is doing a rock and roll album because we know she could rap we know she can

[00:20:37] see we know she can do country what does a Beyonce rock album look like I mean I think it's gonna

[00:20:44] have a bunch of references right like that's that's what I'm looking forward to and I'm still thinking

[00:20:49] of Renaissance and all the people that she named dropped um during that so I think some of them

[00:20:54] will be in it I am so excited for like I'm picturing like 80s like all this eyeliner and stuff and

[00:21:02] I love I think she's so powerful when she projects I think also her like yelling we hear her kind

[00:21:10] of like screech a little on this um album as well and I love it I love that she is not afraid to

[00:21:17] sound a little ugly sometimes and and she's gonna kill it every single time so yeah I'm excited

[00:21:26] to see like what else she's going to channel in there probably some of the same themes like

[00:21:33] the opera we get on this she's murdering the side chick she's talking to the hangman at the end

[00:21:39] of the album of like how do you how are you okay with death I kind of envy you now like

[00:21:45] talking about musical this this album is low key musical I was like I can see someone adapting

[00:21:51] this for Broadway easily um so yeah I'm just thinking of like more of that and like I think it was

[00:21:59] popularized that um she got Jack white on don't hurt yourself because she was like oh I want a band

[00:22:07] so it's like mm who else did she get in that band I wonder oh no those are good questions

[00:22:13] Pharaoh Beyonce is using act three as a way people have said I guess that a lot of these

[00:22:20] Renaissance to act one and act two have been taking black uh back black genres of music you know I'm

[00:22:25] saying like reclaiming some of that for us because Beyonce is known for being the R&B and pop

[00:22:30] singer but now really honing in on the history of where these genres come from country of course as we

[00:22:36] know as a lot of black people behind it literally like pioneering the industry but not getting the

[00:22:42] clout that they deserve uh and now rock and roll as well you know and so when you hear Beyonce

[00:22:48] doing these things does it make you want to check out these other country artists these black artists

[00:22:53] because she was putting everybody on on this one she was on black bird she had like I want to say

[00:22:58] three or four different features of a lot of country artists I love that song and it does make me

[00:23:04] more interested in what they're doing even when I heard about I don't even remember his name but

[00:23:09] I did hear about like a black country artist getting more popular a while ago and I was interested in

[00:23:13] that just just hearing that or just knowing that you know people who look like me are doing this

[00:23:20] type of genre it makes me more interested it does because like you were asking earlier what makes

[00:23:24] this Beyonce album what makes you like this country Beyonce album but you're not really into country

[00:23:29] in general it's like I mean Beyonce's black if I'm being honest like if I'm being honest she's

[00:23:33] attracting me more to the sound because I know I relate to her from other stuff or from the fact

[00:23:39] that we're both black so now that she did drop this and now that she is putting other people on

[00:23:44] it's opening me up it is it's opening up my ears to kind of look kind of look towards that

[00:23:50] that type of music but I don't know it's interesting because another thing would be on say that I feel

[00:23:56] like a lot of people complain about like a lot of artists is that she is not this big she's so

[00:24:03] big that it seems like people only listen to Beyonce and it doesn't seem like people will travel

[00:24:08] over to these other artists and I and I understand that too because I mean I might but also might not

[00:24:14] when Beyonce drops I'm listening regardless so a part of that is true but I don't know I should

[00:24:18] be more open now that's the impact of her you know she she gets to bring she brings the popularity

[00:24:24] wherever she goes you know it is not for her to make sure that you listen to everybody else but she

[00:24:28] does go out of her way to make sure that you know these other people exist I saw a spike in the

[00:24:33] list like in the listeners for these country-western artists the black artists you know the Google

[00:24:38] searches have been out of control as well Mari so yeah I thought that she's doing great work here

[00:24:44] yes uh Britney Spencer Tanner Dell Rainer Roberts and Tierra Kennedy were on Blackbird

[00:24:51] and then Shabuzie was on two of her um two of her songs and Willie Jones uh I think he produced at

[00:24:59] least one and all of them now like are appearing on like the Spotify top uh 200 artists or something

[00:25:06] like that for the first time ever and and like Shabuzie said there was there was um I know there's

[00:25:14] screenshots going around of like Tanner Tanner Ados like her like before the feature like 700K

[00:25:22] monthly listeners like two million like they they've all got boost and I know I've I know I've

[00:25:29] ventured out and listened to some some of these other artists and stuff I listened to Tanner's

[00:25:33] buckle bunny I listened to a little bit of Rainer Roberts like again it's kind of funny because

[00:25:40] because we're sitting here from a a perspective perspective of like oh you know I never

[00:25:46] was in the country this is exposing me to country but I one of my best friends is a die-hard country

[00:25:52] person and it's like half like a half Beyonce fan and so she's like losing her her mind because

[00:26:00] like this is for those people these are for the for the black country um

[00:26:05] enthusiasts there's millions of them out there and um I'm glad that it I'm glad this is for them as

[00:26:11] well but I think the impact is already being felt she's she's literally boosting some of these artists

[00:26:17] and these artists have you know thanked her so much and they they've they've um they they really like

[00:26:24] are glad that they're getting the boost and there's no like an amassity or anything about her coming

[00:26:28] in you know yeah which isn't shocked because Beyonce do be having haters and it's like uh

[00:26:34] not like and Beyonce is not a personality trait stop it you know I'm not a member of the hive

[00:26:39] but you know I'd be listening you know and so for me I was on Twitter like I always am

[00:26:44] and I was scrolling and I see oh Beyonce's album dropped and for some reason it didn't click to

[00:26:49] me that the internet was about to explode like I just it's like I was I was busy doing something else

[00:26:53] which Sasha it feels like a mistake to not realize if someone says Beyonce's album just drop

[00:26:57] there goes the internet for the day it's all we talking about is Beyonce until further notice

[00:27:02] but but that's the thing right I think the impact sometimes gets forgotten which is where these

[00:27:07] haters show up right where they're like well where's the album of the year right and there's a lot

[00:27:14] of I think um a lot of pressure put on to her um it as to like well you didn't do enough in x1 you know

[00:27:24] an insert whatever that may be right it could be didn't put enough black artists like why are my

[00:27:28] Lisa is in post Malone on here that two more spots could have got blah blah whatever instead of

[00:27:34] kind of being like no but this is something she put on and here's why she did it because for me

[00:27:40] I didn't know the history right of black oh sorry of country music and how it came from enslaved

[00:27:47] people right and and all these haters are showing up now on the timeline being like

[00:27:54] it's not a country album you know blah blah and it's so coded that's where I feel like

[00:28:00] Beyonce's marketing is so good because she's like but listen to the song and you'll know what

[00:28:04] I'm talking about that's when I think why the internet breaks is because there's so many layers

[00:28:10] and there's so much depth to it it isn't just like oh let's come and speculate and do like

[00:28:17] conspiracy theories which I love but it's like actually oh this Levi jeans where we're talking

[00:28:24] about Levi jeans because no black and no designer was you know giving destiny's child their time

[00:28:32] and Tina and her uncle right had to literally sew these children these kids outfits

[00:28:39] together because they were like oh you're too black and country and curvy for us to dress you

[00:28:44] so it's just all and but Levi jeans were like made made them the face of like low rise

[00:28:50] so it's it's crazy because then you start learning more about that and now you're learning more

[00:28:54] about designer and oh all the systemic issues there so that's why I feel like the internet breaks

[00:29:01] because it isn't just like the song yeah Farrow you be seeing the haters huh talking about the album

[00:29:06] of the year the things Beyonce hasn't done they just be talking and that's the issue because a lot

[00:29:12] of the a lot of the I guess because they talk about her stats too about the fact that she doesn't have

[00:29:18] like these amazing oh 50 million number ones and Taylor Swift got this many will no she says so

[00:29:24] if love Taylor Swift but you know they talk they compare her to a lot of other people because of

[00:29:29] these kind of number things but we Beyonce is more than number she doesn't care she said it in her songs

[00:29:34] she's dropped albums not on streaming platforms before she's dropped albums randomly before

[00:29:39] she's dropped house music and country music when she's not known as that type of artist she genuinely

[00:29:43] doesn't care um they care more than her and that's the that's the issue but I agree with Sasha because

[00:29:49] it really is more she's more than just I feel like a singer she's an artist she's a creator she does a lot

[00:29:57] and even the name of the album cowboy Carter I saw I saw this history lesson on TikTok shout out

[00:30:02] to TikTok cuz they be having a lot of lessons for you I saw this history lesson on TikTok about

[00:30:08] just the name and how um Carter Carba Carter is based off the one of the black men who helped

[00:30:14] pioneer the country music in general and how these white people who he met along the way kind of

[00:30:21] took it and kind of ran with it and they kind of created country music using his influence and

[00:30:27] using the type of way he played the guitar just a lot of stuff and it's like she puts this stuff

[00:30:32] in her song titles and her music in her performances like she's a very smart woman and I feel like

[00:30:39] you know the haters got to get on her level before they can hate really look and they go hate every time

[00:30:45] which is which is sad because you don't see this level of excellence and consistency from

[00:30:50] each other artists today uh Nicole we're talking about how Beyonce puts on for black people obviously

[00:30:56] there's all all of this stuff is made for black people and with black people in mine and you know

[00:31:02] we even get a reminder from Beyonce about the chitlin circuit and how those were the only venues

[00:31:07] that black people allowed to uh to perform it so it's the way that she encompasses all of that

[00:31:13] takes it and puts it into a song and it turns out and it does become a history lesson don't you think

[00:31:19] absolutely um yeah I also saw that TikTok about the Carter um the Carter history and then the Carter

[00:31:29] family and and just all the other little references I I'm so grateful for all of that um yeah and just

[00:31:40] all the other people that we are learning through Rihanna Roberts is also someone who is saying on

[00:31:46] this album in the background on Tyrant um and then I think it's Rihanna Gibbons plays uh she plays an

[00:31:57] instrument on one of the other um other songs and it's just all these black women that whether

[00:32:05] you're noticing it or not I I love it I love I think one thing I love about this album and the

[00:32:13] genre is like I love back up singers like it's nice when Beyonce is also layering on top of herself

[00:32:20] but I love the art of like actually blending different voices together um

[00:32:26] and yeah I think the references that we get like I didn't I didn't know the Willie Nelson

[00:32:33] like started out as like on the radio so that was something else that I learned on this and just

[00:32:40] yeah all the history that she's uh bringing into this oh the biggest one because she has her show

[00:32:48] like Willie Nelson does on this the Linda Martell show I believe she was like the first black woman

[00:32:56] to be at the Grand Opera you've correct yes the Grand Opera you have a lot of hate for that so

[00:33:02] that was really new um and it's it's even uh lessons history lessons to people who are familiar with

[00:33:10] this genre my partner Jordan um I currently live in Tennessee Chattanooga with them and they know

[00:33:17] country really well and they were actually very upset that they did not know who Linda Martell was but

[00:33:23] the beauty of this album is like now they do yeah Linda Martell's only album dropped 54 years ago

[00:33:32] and so yeah shout out to Linda Martell who again Beyonce is like not like it has her voice on this

[00:33:38] very album you know it's so it's like it's a history lesson but also it's a way to really highlight

[00:33:43] you know the the black people who've been uh kind of othered in the genre of country music because

[00:33:49] not to go back to you Pharaoh about these haters but from what I understand and I have it and I

[00:33:53] can say I'm I'll be looking at the half through a window Beyonce performed daddy's lesson

[00:33:58] and the people were not happy about it so did Beyonce retaliate with the country album is exactly

[00:34:03] how does it went down see allegedly it was the CMA awards or something like that

[00:34:09] and she performed it and they were saying that it wasn't country which is crazy because it

[00:34:14] is very much so country I just feel like they didn't feel I don't want to get too deep but I do feel

[00:34:20] like they didn't feel um represent by Beyonce they didn't feel like Beyonce was something someone who

[00:34:27] could represent country music which is obviously wrong and I think Beyonce always wanted to do

[00:34:34] country anyway she's she is from Texas she's very much so someone who's down to her route she's

[00:34:38] you know she's done stuff like this before and I think them doing that might have sparked something

[00:34:44] but also this probably would have came regardless of whether they were mad or not but um she definitely

[00:34:49] should shut down the haters with this one because she ate up all their country albums no shade but hey

[00:34:56] okay so look we got the history stuff out out of the way let's talk about the album

[00:35:02] I'm coming to you first Marry this is your chance okay look y'all saw my tweets

[00:35:10] I'm going up for bodyguard every time that's my song I don't know like I don't know what y'all

[00:35:14] are doing but if y'all don't understand like people said I've seen the tweets their bodyguard

[00:35:20] is like the evolution of Cuffit from from the last album I was saying yeah that's the case

[00:35:28] did not want the right side of history because you'd make bodyguard

[00:35:34] I think that bodyguard is one of the songs on here that gets me queer vibes

[00:35:40] I'm just gonna say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I thought oh go ahead no I'm just gonna say I

[00:35:48] thought River Dance was almost like the the the the handoff from Cuffit but honestly like

[00:35:56] you listen to this album and like every day it's like a new favorite so instantly just listening

[00:36:02] to the album my first go through I know Blackbird and I know Jolene and then the added bonus of all

[00:36:11] of the Black woman artist being featured on Blackbird and then Beyonce doing twist on Jolene

[00:36:18] of course I was instantly hooked on that but I definitely think that River Dance has me in

[00:36:24] a chokehold right now and it just be stuck in my head all day I do now it's on the

[00:36:32] artwork so inappropriate just in my head but honestly I think there's so many there's so

[00:36:40] many good songs on this on this album but those are the first ones that initially grabbed me

[00:36:46] the first the first walkthrough okay and Sasha I think you're you're listening might have been a

[00:36:51] little later than everybody's because I know you you were kind of you were busy and so you weren't

[00:36:56] on the timeline when it first exploded too girl me too yeah but but then I see you pop out

[00:37:00] and you had a lot to say Sasha what are your favorite songs on this album? This hit I want

[00:37:05] the West Coast everyone that I be I'm a grandma okay yeah for me it's also bodyguard because

[00:37:13] but that okay body art is great and then you're just like wow this night and then you

[00:37:18] spaghetti came on and the the way my head just like went on like at 360 right because I couldn't

[00:37:25] believe it I said where did this come from? What do you mean so spaghetti it was like the one that

[00:37:31] just like took me a little and then I must say because I think I'm not a post-molone fan I think

[00:37:38] that's not even more like into it but Levi's these I said we should not be in the room when these

[00:37:46] songs are coming on because that because Levi's jeans comes on and then sweet honey book like you're

[00:37:51] just like what is Jay-Z doing to this woman? Oh yeah I can't agree that yeah like drunk in love

[00:38:01] have like every album we get it my god but it's like I don't want to be in the room yeah that's

[00:38:09] father if she's mother that is father Nicole we know you go up a bodyguard what are your other

[00:38:14] state and that's on there are you a yaya girl is that what was going on? I do I do like yaya actually

[00:38:21] I know yaya like that's a popular one and got people talking but it's it was a grower and

[00:38:30] I think still is for me so my favorites just for fun I I love Willie Jones uh I play his America

[00:38:41] this has got talent um audition a lot that deep I don't even I don't even know I don't think he hits

[00:38:48] the deep um note that he can hit on this song but I still loved it I love when also Beyonce kind

[00:38:56] of plays with gender and I feel like we get that a little bit of her being like I'm the man um

[00:39:03] King me mm-hmm yes yes and I pray to her like the things she the little thing she drops about like

[00:39:11] her beliefs and religion is so interesting to me um another favorite of mine has to be two hands

[00:39:20] to heaven mm-hmm it's so the messages are so beautiful um it I want to know what the significance

[00:39:30] of 16 is I know she loves four but 16 is interestingly part of 16 characters and then she

[00:39:38] also brings up 16 switches in here and I'm trying to just decide for that level or four I mean not

[00:39:44] just four times thank you oh yeah four time four yeah four time four yeah we don't know if

[00:39:56] that's not a bad okay okay okay um yeah yeah I like that um two hands to heaven is also very

[00:40:05] west it brings up Arizona Las Vegas I was like okay Arizona you got that look I don't think you

[00:40:11] get that a lot in music um and yeah those and then later on fucking yes fucking's good mm-hmm

[00:40:21] okay it's just a sample like a bucket is just like a snippet it's like how on runnissan she put

[00:40:27] pure and honey together so sweet honey and bucket are basically three snippets that she put together

[00:40:34] and it's like I see why she added it because it's like it's so good but I don't think she

[00:40:40] knew what to do with the rest of it and it's kind of like I want other artists to like expand or

[00:40:46] like put verses to bucket you know and especially bucket yes because and and Beyonce they have been

[00:40:53] doing this since um self-titled since uh the Beyonce album where she put uh flawless um she put

[00:41:01] what you call in front of flawless but yeah uh yes like yes y'all say in front of partition and then

[00:41:07] and then I um the one in front of flawless so she's been she's been playing with these kind of short

[00:41:14] short samples for a minute now mm-hmm Barrow yeah the first half of the album because it's a long

[00:41:22] album I'm not gonna lie to you look I was like this birdie so I'm not gonna die and I was

[00:41:26] in the whole time didn't go to sleep nothing I was she had me in the first half Barrow and then I had

[00:41:32] to go to sleep but I see everybody else did not go to sleep what is your what are you do you prefer

[00:41:36] the first half of the album or the second half what are your faves you know what's crazy people

[00:41:40] keep talking about that and I didn't hear a difference I felt like I just loved it all me personally

[00:41:45] yeah I just loved it all I was like I was vibing but I do love bodyguard a lot and what's

[00:41:51] interesting about bodyguard is I heard a lot of like I don't know because girl I'm not a musician

[00:41:56] but it felt very almost a little bit rock inspired because there was like deep bases deep bass notes

[00:42:03] in that song I loved that about bodyguard it was like a twist to to kind of just the normal country

[00:42:10] and I feel like I like a lot of the songs that have a twist to country instead of just being

[00:42:14] straight country but one of the ones I love is Levi's jeans I don't know what it makes be feel but

[00:42:20] when I had my country era it really wasn't a country era it was a Luke Bryan era and that song

[00:42:26] reminds me of a Luke Bryan song or like just the type of like just I don't know if it's text I don't

[00:42:31] know what it is but it was like oh my god this is in my heart like you reached into my soul and got

[00:42:36] this sorrer gym out that I never really express I love Levi's jeans so much and I already liked

[00:42:42] to post them alone I had fell off on him I ain't going to lie but when I heard that song I was like

[00:42:47] girl let me get into this last album that he just put out whatever he's going yeah post him

[00:42:51] makes good music he really does uh they're old I'm surprised you didn't go for Oluisiana you heard

[00:42:56] Zingba on the chorus right you know what's great did you know it's crazy um I didn't I really

[00:43:03] girl spaghetti and Oluisiana that the bottom for me wasn't for me first oh wasn't messing with either

[00:43:09] them honestly I was I was not and and that's that's a apparently it's a hot take I didn't know it was

[00:43:18] but I was not messing with those with those songs I don't know if I got too much into the the country

[00:43:24] that when it wasn't given so country I was like hold on this not with all right ready for

[00:43:28] but I don't know I wasn't messing with those she was rapping on spaghetti marry she was rapping

[00:43:34] she was rapping rapping and I I kind of agree with thorough like it's kind of funny to be like when

[00:43:39] I hear everybody else's favorite song from like oh my god that's a song I'd like barely kind of

[00:43:43] my sleep on it yeah so now I gotta go and like listen to it like even for y'all saying bodyguard

[00:43:47] I was like I remember bodyguard but I don't remember being this great now I just don't want

[00:43:51] to listen to it get into it yeah yeah yeah no I had a whole dance party at 9 a.m. like what am I

[00:44:02] just by myself I think for me it's kind of like it's like I was I originally said I was like

[00:44:09] I think the second half is where it picks up and that's what I like but now I'm thinking it's kind

[00:44:14] like the first like the first quarter like the first third I don't really like the middle

[00:44:20] and then last like third or something like that I don't I don't know like I said I'll listen to

[00:44:26] a few more times no this is fun Beyonce is so smart that she is putting everybody on this album

[00:44:33] including Roomy Carter who she's trying to just get her kids Grammys before they you know can

[00:44:39] can write their names basically I mean but she's putting everybody here we saw Post Malone and

[00:44:43] Miley Cyrus the job both pointed out who have had interesting interactions with the black community

[00:44:48] Nicole Miley was one of the girls that's up hopped on and I I like rap I can twerk and she was

[00:44:55] a spectacle for a while Post Malone also started off a folk singer slowly became a rapper white

[00:45:01] iverson and some people might remember him and then has pushed away from his rap image and started

[00:45:06] making music more similar to what we get on the Beyonce album how do you feel about Beyonce going

[00:45:10] and getting those artists and making them be white again what a question um you know Miley

[00:45:21] Miley is interesting I think well when you put it that way

[00:45:27] when you put it that way I think what's interesting then about her picking them

[00:45:33] is that for Beyonce in a way this is probably for her feeling like come back to your roots

[00:45:40] maybe they're pulling them to go back to her and honestly Miley belongs in country I get it

[00:45:45] her whole family's there she wants to experience like her family yeah everyone's free the whole

[00:45:53] album is about breaking away from genre so Miley can do whatever the hell she wants but Miley

[00:45:59] Beyonce is calling and telling you you're gonna do this country song with me so that should be

[00:46:07] a sign I'm gonna get up and do the country song yes yeah but I also hear and understand people who

[00:46:14] are disappointed in those um choices um but yeah I think with this actually being a long

[00:46:23] album as you say and her doing all the shouts out that she does it's like

[00:46:31] they can have their little two songs okay yeah and Miley does great like it's a great song too

[00:46:37] most wanted like that one also kind of um I don't know I'm just so bisexual guys I just feel like

[00:46:46] you're feeling like a little bisexual there at the beginning she says like my whole world changed

[00:46:51] when I looked at you and I was like you look at me what way yeah elaborate we're running off

[00:46:58] together and bodyguard she's like I'm gonna protect you in the mosh pit I'm like I have a whole

[00:47:04] bisexual road trip happening and maybe someone dies I don't know but they're running away from the

[00:47:11] law too yeah people were mentioning Delma and Louise you know so I was like okay there's

[00:47:17] there's a lot of a lot of good vibes coming from the the collaborations here you know um one thing

[00:47:22] I learned on Twitter Pharaoh is that people Beyonce be putting people on but sometimes I don't

[00:47:28] realize how many people don't listen to these other other genres and other people because I saw a

[00:47:32] lot of tweets like oh my god Miley can't really say where are you being?

[00:47:37] been and you know what Miley I don't think Miley belongs in country I think Miley belongs in rock

[00:47:43] and people were saying if this next album is rock I would love to hear Miley on that because

[00:47:47] Miley's best album is plastic hearts if y'all ain't listening to go listen now because she bodies

[00:47:52] that entire album down it's crazy her voice just fits very well with that but her voice also

[00:47:58] fits very well with this and I think that was a part of Beyonce's um thought process Beyonce's

[00:48:03] an artist where you're not gonna be a feature on my song unless it fits very well and I think both

[00:48:09] of these features they just fit very well and they're also people going get on my knee for this but

[00:48:19] those two artists in a way are similar to Beyonce when it comes to artistry because Miley has had

[00:48:25] rock albums country albums pop albums hip-hop albums rap albums and same with post-molone country albums

[00:48:33] hot hip-hop albums rap albums like they're very versatile similar to her post-molones from Texas

[00:48:39] Hannah Montana my size is from Tennessee oh they're both from like they're both from you know

[00:48:49] country based uh states as well so I don't know I just think honestly everything worked well y'all

[00:48:54] just gonna have to be mad that they're on there like and and I'm not like just jumping out my chair

[00:48:59] because they're on there but I just think it fits well I see I don't know I don't see a problem

[00:49:04] with it because the songs work I'm sorry yeah these songs jam um you know Pharaoh's wrong about one

[00:49:13] thing Miley's best album is bangers but Mario okay I was just about to hit a rock

[00:49:18] let me let let him live but I'm literally wrong about one thing um but yes no great album like I said

[00:49:26] I I love the songs like I so I had never heard 16 carriages like I saw the commercial

[00:49:31] like everybody else and then I didn't go out and listen to the singles because again you know

[00:49:34] like I was like I'll get to it but I was like that's it oh this what you're up and listen to

[00:49:38] this whole time this is nice okay I like this and so yeah the auntie put together a

[00:49:44] amazing project that people were saying yeah this country wasted influences on it but there's

[00:49:49] so much more as well so it's another time where Beyonce is redefining a genre of music

[00:49:54] redefining artistry I really paving the way for more stuff like this to happen because this

[00:49:59] is gonna be a three-part act at least right because we assume that you know the actor will be the

[00:50:04] final act of this um but what do you think is next for Beyonce Murray because if this is the final

[00:50:09] act is this the final act or is it like a pause what do you think is about to happen to the queen okay

[00:50:18] you mean the final act after act three yeah like I wish about to do next we're not gonna we're not

[00:50:23] gonna speak that to you because if you're part of the beehive you know you don't try and figure out

[00:50:30] Beyonce you let her dictate to you what is happening like that we we don't know we don't know and

[00:50:39] that's the beauty she will tell us and that's what we're that's what we're here for so no I will not

[00:50:45] answer your question think about the queen hanging up her cowboy boots her boots inspired yeah

[00:50:55] I would much rather talk about a song that I think uh nobody's been talking about

[00:50:59] that feel needs to be talked about do I do that okay go ahead do you think I love daughter like I

[00:51:06] like the story telling in that song she hates her dance so much she can't stand that man

[00:51:16] she does yeah that's the daughter of the one you know you got to really listen you got to really listen

[00:51:30] she says I'm the Louisiana whatever but that's her mom

[00:51:40] it's a tight relationship like it's she you can tell she does not like what he is done but you

[00:51:45] could tell that she appreciates some of the things that he did it's just it is a tug of war and

[00:51:51] I love daughter for that I loved all of the imagery that it evokes and the nice one that has

[00:51:57] the opera break I didn't even realize people were like oh no there's opera on the Beyonce out of

[00:52:02] what was like where and then that's my favorite song you're talking in tons I was just like

[00:52:11] I never find out it was opera I'm so dumb yeah I was just like this is I just thought she was making

[00:52:17] her voice sound really nice with the melody yeah I didn't know either but that's a really good song

[00:52:25] that's what makes me feel like I'm like on state like she's on state like when I was listening to it

[00:52:31] it was like a dark room she was on stage and when I found out it was opera influence I was like

[00:52:35] that's what is that she's in the opera house she's really given it on stage she's the only person

[00:52:39] there she's doing her little vibrato whatever the words like I really like that song too I really like

[00:52:45] I really like that it was influenced by different genres of music and I also want to shout out I

[00:52:50] want to shout out my song I want to shout out Flamengo because yes Niko has like Latin influence and

[00:52:58] that was actually why I was introduced to country music I grew up in an area where there was a lot

[00:53:02] of black people it was a lot of Latino people and the Latino people they listen to country music or

[00:53:07] country even even Latino songs are very country sounding sometimes but they're just in Spanish and

[00:53:14] then sometimes they just listen to country music in English as well and that was why I got into country

[00:53:19] music in general and listening to that song I was like dang I'm back in elementary school middle

[00:53:24] school where I hear my my friends listening to songs like that it was so I don't know I really

[00:53:29] like that song I like the influences that she gets from different genres yes Niko I have to ask

[00:53:35] when you heard daddy uh was I was like daughter that was like daddy issues but do you hear

[00:53:39] daughter exactly what did you do for that moment look at me for me I was like oh she hate him

[00:53:47] I'm I'm blown away by by this read and I did listen to it I felt like it was a spiritual sequel to

[00:53:54] daddy lessons I think it takes she's talking about being a fighter that's what I think she like

[00:54:05] takes from her dad and there's a little bit of a ruthlessness there but that is part of why

[00:54:12] she's successful that's why I'm like I don't think she I think I don't think she hates him I think

[00:54:17] she just like very much accepts that that's part of him and there's probably a part of her um part

[00:54:23] of that in her too um the the storytelling in this opera is so good like I have beaten up this

[00:54:31] side check I just like picture the side check in her ripped dress just on the ground yeah she's sitting

[00:54:38] here singing this dramatic like you all think that I am this pretty little princess but I am

[00:54:46] nothing like that this is what I'm capable of she loves um singing in a different language

[00:54:54] don't forget that the audience yeah Beyonce has a whole Spanish album which is a lot Tina's

[00:55:00] so it is great that she um did a little Italian there which I don't know I don't know Italian

[00:55:12] at all but I heard some I love that up yeah and that particular aria actually is a very famous

[00:55:22] one that it's taught to like people that you're learning opera that is like one of the first

[00:55:28] it's called carromio ben and it's actually sung in like a major key and it's a happy song

[00:55:36] but the word is like baby without you I'd be lost so it's really interesting that she like made

[00:55:42] it dark and slowed it down and then people are like oh but it's not opera but apparently it's

[00:55:49] baroque which is a whole another genre of opera and that is like known for like all the extra you know

[00:55:57] notes and runs and everything so even then she's like um you're not doing baroque if you're not

[00:56:03] doing all this extra stuff so the fact that she that is what she chooses to do and uses a

[00:56:10] baroque opera song to like get her point across ridiculous for day speaking of searching stuff up

[00:56:18] do y'all did y'all know what recrium was I didn't know what I heard the recrium was I had to look it up

[00:56:25] and I still didn't really understood but I like I like a research the like lyrics in the song

[00:56:32] and first of all I like that song a lot there were some people who was hey did my friend was like oh

[00:56:36] I don't know what she doing at this intro I was like she's eating it up at the intro next to she's

[00:56:40] doing it it was very I really I really really like that song but um it's like it means more than what

[00:56:47] I even thought it meant because she's talking about like taking our power back and like how things

[00:56:54] were taking away from black people and she started off the album with that like that was a hitter

[00:56:58] I was like oh okay queen but yeah that's not it I love when she talks about again her family history

[00:57:06] and my favorite part of American Requiem is grand baby of a moonshine man Gazden Alabama got folk

[00:57:14] down in Galveston rooted in Louisiana and you just for me it paints the picture of how black people

[00:57:21] have moved in history and just were all spread out in different ways yeah I love it

[00:57:30] okay now look I'm being a little bit messy and I don't mean I don't mean to upset nobody so tell me

[00:57:37] if I go too far I'm not gonna bring up the fact that Beyonce keep collabing with people that Nicki

[00:57:42] Monage be fun with I'm not gonna bring that up that's not what we're gonna talk about my while it was good um

[00:57:47] but I want to do another thing with Nicki too be serious uh listen I'm just saying she

[00:57:53] she jumped ship but whatever anyway here we are not to be messy but I have to ask

[00:57:59] we have cowboy Carter and it's I know it's been a short amount of time

[00:58:04] but where does cowboy Carter rank amongst your Beyonce fans because Ferrell I heard you said

[00:58:09] it was better than Bday do you know what's the gag but well let's just say before not even let's

[00:58:16] just say before cowboy Carter drop my favorite Beyonce album was actually the gift which people

[00:58:22] was like the gift that I I loved the gift that's what was the first thing that really connected me

[00:58:31] to Beyonce because you know Beyonce is a little bit older than me so when I was growing up hearing

[00:58:36] those albums was like hearing them from my parents my sister whomever wow when you know I was an adult

[00:58:43] it went lemonade that was what I was like which is a hitter and then really the gift and like homecoming

[00:58:50] all of those is the ones that I actually heard myself and for me the gift was the one that really like

[00:58:56] sat with me really deeply and lemonade was great too but for that one it's like it just showed me how

[00:59:02] willing she was to step outside of just herself or just what was the norm and just do something different

[00:59:10] so I really really liked that at first and now I don't know I feel like this gives me similar energy

[00:59:14] to that so for me it's one of those two which is a hot a very very hot take so I'm gonna just be quiet

[00:59:22] okay it's top two for Ferrell Nicole okay have you thought about this I don't know it's a hard

[00:59:27] question because Beyonce has a lot of great projects where is cowboy Carter for you

[00:59:32] I don't know you gotta get it okay I'm really thinking about this because I like

[00:59:43] I just do it we're here for you right so I'm I was like no make me call you out I'll call you out

[00:59:54] I I think Renaissance is very much going to be near and dear to my heart I think

[01:00:03] I listen to that a lot and yeah that's that's gonna be a top it's gonna be a top for me

[01:00:11] um lemonade now I'm thinking of lemonade versus cowboy Carter I think lemonade still

[01:00:19] I think I mean number two okay nobody fought for you fought for you for that one that's a good

[01:00:27] take whatever yeah and then we have cowboy Carter cowboy Carter so number three

[01:00:32] top three is great okay we got action Sasha I love I love this game uh Sasha it's cowboy

[01:00:42] Carter your favorite beyond say it all um it's too loud I'm glad you you said something

[01:00:50] because they was gonna get on us in the comments they was like huh I always be serious you

[01:00:56] not come for me um but I am no I think self titled is so good um and even pretty hurts right like

[01:01:07] it's so underrated I don't know why people to talk about it more but then um I also really like

[01:01:14] I'm Sasha Fierce obviously because of my name play um I understand why but it's not like top

[01:01:21] plot it's tough I'm sorry but it's not like the top I don't know cowboy Carter is in there but I

[01:01:27] don't know I just have been a fan from the start so it's so hard for something to top Destiny's

[01:01:33] child and now her new albums because yeah I like I was listening to her in India so I don't know

[01:01:40] it's just there's no way that I that it's the cowboy Carter is like the top it's just it's a great

[01:01:47] album in and itself but yeah okay Mari don't cop out like Sasha did give me give me a real answer

[01:01:58] I'm not gonna cop out um no but I agree with Sasha like as somebody who has been a Beyonce fan

[01:02:04] from the beginning it's really hard to put her newest project that's been out for four days up

[01:02:09] against albums that I've grown up with an album that I remember where I was when I listened to them

[01:02:15] albums that I have like I have a nostalgia for um but I would I would definitely say

[01:02:24] lemonade is probably my number one I just connect to lemonade so much I love

[01:02:31] I love the ups and downs of that album that mirrored like her relationship and stuff like that

[01:02:37] and then like Sasha said self titled oh my god self title really like like completely converted

[01:02:46] me in a sense like I was like Beyonce is on a different level like self title felt like something

[01:02:54] that just pushed her into the stratosphere it didn't feel like a regular album like

[01:02:59] Sasha Fears did or dangerously loved or how you want me to get people mad at us how I think four is

[01:03:06] probably yeah at least favorite album um and so uh but like line numbers so I can never hate it

[01:03:15] I can never say my mega four so it's like for me I think lemonade is number one

[01:03:22] and it's kind of hard for me between self titled and Renaissance for what is number two

[01:03:29] mostly because I love the growth uh that Beyonce has on Renaissance uh but self titled really was

[01:03:36] like a moment in time so maybe I'll cop out on those in those ties but then cowboy Carter is

[01:03:44] after that cowboy Carter is like four for me right now which is like it's still a Beyonce album and

[01:03:49] I'm still gonna listen to it so and who knows what happens after I keep listening to it but yeah

[01:03:56] that's that's my and then at the bottom four okay man well for me I'm gonna rank my and I want

[01:04:04] y'all's real time reactions because I'm worth it but let's just shake a table real quick so for me

[01:04:08] four is my favorite Beyonce album oh please it is for for has wait hold on four does not have not one

[01:04:17] miss there's not one miss on that album do I need to take y'all through the track was a focus

[01:04:22] on playing I can't I have a full of that's the best thing I never had party rather than

[01:04:29] young she was thinking start over for love on top countdown in a time I was here run

[01:04:37] but if I you could do that for any Beyonce album every every song gonna be a banker so it's like

[01:04:42] you're not really eating me up with this one so why did y'all so if that's the case then why

[01:04:47] y'all shooting down for so much why you hate for I don't hate for I just feel like for for me

[01:04:53] four is one of her more you know average not average in the quality but average in maybe the genre

[01:05:01] it's a very R&B album yeah it's a very hard yeah it's a very hard to be and you know if you love

[01:05:07] R&B I love that you know what's behind your neck you hate that's for me can I have it is your

[01:05:11] favorite it's like yeah what's the middle Pokemon between like Charizard and uh this is a

[01:05:16] charmeleon of the family yes exactly like it's the uninvolved uh it's right in the middle

[01:05:24] where you go without the wings yeah well well okay well let me save it that's my number one

[01:05:29] then Beyonce the self title album because that was like Marysa that was so crazy I said this is

[01:05:36] crazy it man it's crazy um because I mean I have that album chopped and screwed okay because I don't

[01:05:42] play around right from the Houston Texas okay I could I couldn't wait DJ Candlesticks I'd

[01:05:47] tell for the mix uh if you don't have it I'll send you the link okay cuz it go every time um

[01:05:54] then you know I honestly I think I am Sasha Fischer the worst out one personally but whatever

[01:05:58] I think cowboy Carter is in like the top five or six but I never always forget the gift that's

[01:06:03] my issue my toxic trait is that I be forgetting that the gift is a it's an album because I always

[01:06:07] think about it as almost like the Lion King soundtrack yeah yeah it kind of is she's not even in some

[01:06:13] of the songs I agree that I'm Sasha Fischer is at the bottom for me though I will say I do agree

[01:06:17] with that it's it's like you know your Sasha Fischer's congratulations that's how I feel about that

[01:06:22] because let me now read all these oh you don't like okay you don't like actually don't actually don't

[01:06:31] like hello hot-hot tape you don't like video I love it you know singolite okay I don't like

[01:06:39] single lady singolite did not get me when single ladies came out I would do my

[01:06:44] one-piece ladies that's what I'm saying how was it my child it was like you was one of those

[01:06:50] bunk beds where the bottom one turned into a couch but anyways so I was on the

[01:06:54] I'm on the bed I think like um I think um Selena Gomez was just now breaking out from Disney

[01:07:00] I was like having a good time in my day I was when single ladies came out I was just not

[01:07:07] gag I was like almost annoyed with how it sounded like I was not gagging for single lady so but she's

[01:07:15] she's totally different woman than who she was she was you know yeah cuz I'm Jay-Z had it

[01:07:20] hadn't cheated it was a lot it was way different back there I'm here I'm sure I mean radio is on

[01:07:27] there and that's not a I was on the hot line like her day you know like okay okay that's cute

[01:07:33] anyway it's cool I don't know but I was a college album I think that was that maybe that's right

[01:07:41] cuz we were living look everybody got they all Beyonce album I guess you know you all

[01:07:50] everybody has that that album that really speaks to where you were when you heard it what type

[01:07:54] of what part of your life because we really have heard her kind of grow up in front of the microphone

[01:08:00] we if you people were there in the beginning the early days the pre-designy's child days who now

[01:08:05] seen her go to Disney's child we see Disney's child with four people three people you know a random

[01:08:09] people you know like we see all of that we seen her come out of it you know she survived the

[01:08:13] Disney's child era and then she became a phenomenon of herself you know and we've watched that growth

[01:08:18] and so yeah I think that the people who are Disney's child fans can really connect to the

[01:08:21] Disney's child music if if that was you know a time in your life where that was speaking to you you know

[01:08:27] um so I think it's always fun to have these conversations because I don't think there's a wrong

[01:08:31] answer even though y'all don't seem to be naming dangerously in love for whatever um

[01:08:37] so yeah that's a little funny that's my nobody mentioned it Nicole they too hard on

[01:08:43] their little love are you cuz you you you knew to the have I knew to the hive but of course

[01:08:48] Beyonce has been so present in pop cultures there's like no escaping but it was like

[01:08:55] yeah another another pop moment I I also I don't know if you guys were like this but I kept

[01:09:04] probably MTV and VH1 on before my bus came so I just have like distinct memories watching like

[01:09:13] ring the alarm and like just looking at love before hopping on on the bus yeah and a lot of people

[01:09:20] are saying that her joe lean gives uh ring the alarm by

[01:09:27] never heard before we have to talk about the joe lean controversy okay Mara what's going on

[01:09:34] so there are people who are complaining that her version of joe lean is not vulnerable enough it's not

[01:09:42] you know as like touching as dolly's original version they're like oh she's almost she's

[01:09:49] almost too buck with it and I'm like do y'all know who this woman is like she's not gonna give you

[01:09:56] the original joe lean it doesn't make sense with the character doesn't make sense with the albums

[01:10:01] that we've seen we've you know and and the evolution of knowing what goes on between her and her

[01:10:06] husband that she let us know through music like I love this version of joe lean again maybe it's

[01:10:13] because I have legit threatened to cut somebody over my name no not another woman just like you

[01:10:22] know somebody who's threatening him you like you threatening him you you know he likes

[01:10:26] like so yeah Mara you might her dive real I'm serious you can literally ask my friends so it's

[01:10:33] like I love I love college is wild yeah DC jump right out you go Mara I loved her version of joe lean and

[01:10:44] I think it still gives the spirit of the original innocence and honestly I love the twist I

[01:10:50] loved that it wasn't because when it was announced because it was announced before the album

[01:10:55] I was like okay so I don't know if this is gonna be a sample or just a straight up cover

[01:11:00] like I was really excited to know like what it was gonna be and the fact that it is like

[01:11:06] a remix cover I thought was perfect I thought like of course the on say would give us

[01:11:11] like a cover but also make it her own and I loved it I love that that version of joe lean

[01:11:18] it's immediately going into the rotation of everything and all the parts has singular writing credits

[01:11:25] yes she does yeah I think it's so fascinating with how I feel like younger artists need to learn

[01:11:34] this right like what does dolly partner like that's the you know the contract we need to be

[01:11:40] signing here so that we know we don't get screwed moving forward because and beyond the

[01:11:45] up yeah like she's gonna give you her credit don't be wrong but not have her name in the

[01:11:52] right credit wow why I'm publishing rights like dolly partner has complete publishing rights

[01:11:58] to Beyonce's joe lean like that's amazing you see he said right I hold on because I'm comments

[01:12:04] about joe lean that's crazy honestly I feel like it reminds me of I just I feel like a lot of

[01:12:12] different cultures express their emotions in different ways and it just reminds me of comments

[01:12:16] about that because people kind of like have a lack of sensitivity when it comes to the way black

[01:12:21] women express their emotions sometimes and I feel like this could really just bleed into that because

[01:12:26] if Beyonce feels this type of way and you feel like it's not vulnerable because she not crying like

[01:12:30] dolly partner was it's like girl you it's a difference in how people were raised cultural

[01:12:36] difference and I just feel like oh like that they be hating all stuff it reminds me of oh you know

[01:12:41] this aerial just looks her hair isn't red enough that's what it gave to me honestly like not you

[01:12:47] pick it don't listen to it listen to the dolly partners thank you there you go Nicole it was a

[01:12:52] different time when dolly's joe lean dropped it was um yeah I think that I everyone has a good tie

[01:13:02] to joe lean for so many different reasons the big question is like well what does joe lean look like

[01:13:07] cuz do we see young young um dolly partner and I think I think she wrote it about oh I remember now

[01:13:17] it was a bank teller right that was trying to get on her man so yeah um I will say I think the

[01:13:24] beginning of joe lean like I think it rises like I think it gets better by like the second

[01:13:32] because at the very beginning dolly can do no wrong but it also gave me real pause when she

[01:13:38] was like oh my girl had avert in hair I heard you had different colored hair and I'm like that's not

[01:13:44] what good hair means it's not like she's saying I heard joe that then we've huh that's okay dolly

[01:13:51] not I remember dolly a lady of a certain age joe it's new time for her yeah and I think I think

[01:13:56] it's okay that sometimes Beyonce is not relatable like I think the line where she's like I'm a

[01:14:02] queen joe lean I'm like that's not what I would say when I'm getting into a fight with someone but

[01:14:08] what really then gets me as when she says um I'm still a Creole bandje bitch from Louisiana and I was

[01:14:16] like tell them tell them being upset tell them who you are I love that and you're a bird so seeing your

[01:14:24] tune I love it I she drag joe lean she dragged her and then she sang an opera where she killed her so

[01:14:36] it's good storytelling to me yep um okay last spicy question okay this is spicy when mario I'm

[01:14:43] coming to you what is Beyonce's worst song and why is it kitty cat oh you are almost

[01:14:54] leaped out my chair people to come for you oh my god everyone um at ship house I'm joking I don't

[01:15:05] love it it's not my favorite but listen the worst Beyonce song is better than the best of many

[01:15:09] people's faves I'm just saying there has to be something you don't like on this album here yeah whatever you want

[01:15:18] um hmm I would say on cowboy Carter probably um does an eagle just because I don't I don't get

[01:15:32] much of it it's like I think it's not even that long it feels like a transitional song

[01:15:40] anybody yeah are you feeling the same way about does it eagle I don't disagree enough it's fine

[01:15:47] I understand that but I see why you wouldn't like it honestly it wasn't nothing to be Sasha I wasn't

[01:15:56] really big on alligator tears yeah I'm daring that was my answer and I'll be wearing this

[01:16:02] they're bit off of you that was right yeah I feel like I didn't like it's gonna be sound crazy the part

[01:16:12] I liked about alligator tears was like the music behind oh sure yeah yeah composition but

[01:16:17] you know because that's why fair when you were speaking I agree with you right because who am I

[01:16:22] but I was like I really wanted more country so I don't know some of this song because I was just like

[01:16:30] eh and then when some were like really R&B you're like okay at least it's a good Beyonce song it's

[01:16:35] fine I'm with it but I don't know for alligator tears I was like oh sure why okay yeah

[01:16:42] okay what about you for alligator tears I liked it but I also had questions

[01:16:52] because my whole thing is okay I I felt like she was talking to a certain oppressive people

[01:17:02] with the alligator tears we've been we've been talking about certain tears being used on us I love

[01:17:09] and I feel like also the line you say change religion now I spend Sundays with you I'm like

[01:17:17] you know I hear it wait a minute wait a minute exactly the lyrics are talking about these high

[01:17:28] expectations that other people are putting on her and she rises every time one says you say move

[01:17:34] a mountain and I'll throw on my boots now we know Beyonce is a capitalist and that's her way of

[01:17:41] navigating the oppressive systems and so it makes sense that that's her her response

[01:17:48] and she does rise every single time but I thought that was very interesting the one thing that I

[01:17:54] didn't feel like was consistent at least to my reading of alligator tears was the I adore you

[01:18:00] like the first I adore I adore you when she talks about the alligator tears feels sarcastic

[01:18:06] therefore it's like oh I like that and she says in her other songs that she's petty but the the

[01:18:13] next repetition of I adore you actually felt genuine so I'm like well now I'm confused

[01:18:19] but if if I'm right about the reading I like it because I like dragging oppressive people

[01:18:27] yeah very interesting that's deep yeah now I gotta go back and listen to it

[01:18:34] yeah I agree yeah yeah Faro I need you to drag one of these Beyonce songs which one is which

[01:18:41] ones give you the least yeah um oh I said it earlier spaghetti I wasn't gag sorry guys

[01:18:47] you just you just have to go back but this is but this is the thing I wasn't gagged in this

[01:18:53] is like of every song on this album for me it's at the bottom for now but I feel like it's

[01:18:57] gonna shift and go up I also love every song of this album like there was songs on Renaissance

[01:19:02] I like now but I didn't like at the time there were songs on there's like no

[01:19:07] irrelevant Beyonce songs there's Beyonce songs you would name it and I would be like huh what

[01:19:11] album was that with that so I feel like one of those is probably like the bottom line but

[01:19:15] yeah

[01:19:16] yeah

[01:19:17] kitty cat one on four all right so that's great all right we've done a lot of Beyoncé talking

[01:19:26] this has been very fun we I mean it's we could go on forever we can literally go album by album

[01:19:31] and talk about why all the Beyoncé things are cool or why it's so great um but Marry my real

[01:19:36] question is why she don't want to give you any visuals what's going on oh man I

[01:19:41] when when Nicole was talking about the the daughter I was about to give us the visuals like it was

[01:19:50] I know she just you are the visual like I know I don't know I don't this is the one thing I do not

[01:19:55] agree with her but I just got a ledge between that which do what she do I would love some visuals

[01:20:00] Beyonce we are like we're dying over here but I don't think it's because it's act two act one

[01:20:08] like mess like I wonder if the lat you know a man was supposed to flow in to I'm that girl and is

[01:20:18] I just feel like there's a lot of confusion moving things around because there were a hundred

[01:20:23] songs recorded for this one so I mean things that she was like I'm not worried about this

[01:20:31] and she's mentioned how she prefers performing and like kind of just makes a movie out of her

[01:20:39] performances and I feel like that's you know that I feel like that's what she loves anyway she

[01:20:43] loves to perform she loves for people to see her perform so I guess that's where she's put in more

[01:20:47] her energy but the reason I did like the gift was because of the visual aspect like the entire

[01:20:52] movie that I was able to watch like black as king it's like who that was so amazing like she's

[01:20:57] great at visuals and just everything she does and that's mother and that's queen and oh she

[01:21:02] saw us something please that's why lemonade is as standard as the test of time she literally had

[01:21:10] crews signed in bays while she was sneaking around making the videos she must be tired she

[01:21:16] must be tired of us I guess but I would love a visual for a please yeah one thing Beyonce is always

[01:21:23] gonna give you all a tour because if she's not gonna take nothing else she gonna take your money

[01:21:28] Sasha you how many of the Beyonce concerts have you been to I believe for five

[01:21:37] so you have stuck me yeah you got you got stuck in the house of Darianne Sasha that's what I'm hearing

[01:21:46] that I should have the problem is I beg she doesn't go on tour into 2024 because I cannot

[01:21:55] one I don't want to fight these country people now to get that's that's horrible for me

[01:22:01] and then too I just paid a lot of money to be six hours away from her and now you're making

[01:22:07] me do it again I can't I mean I will but I can't I like I just get my car in a payments for my

[01:22:16] car that after paid wasn't Nicole are you gonna go on the inevitable country western tour coming from cowboy

[01:22:23] Carter the the Chitlin circuit tour um I mean I hope so guys subscribe to blood by reality

[01:22:34] let me get monetized please um I want to I think I will forever regret not going for the lemonade like

[01:22:42] I'm not a person actually that goes to a lot of live concerts it's like on one hand

[01:22:48] I did see Renaissance twice though um so I I made up for it a little bit but I should have gone for

[01:22:54] lemonade so yes I will I will be going I just wonder because I have beef with her

[01:23:00] because I didn't see all up in your mind and that's my favorite yeah yeah yeah

[01:23:06] yeah hmm I don't know I don't know what's not gonna make the cut and I'm gonna be mad at her again

[01:23:13] justice for thick yes justice for thick it's a Bob uh Pharaoh you going on the tour I think I know

[01:23:22] what's coming he's gotta be come right I don't know because I've never been to a concert I think

[01:23:27] what's going to happen is I'm going to buy a parking ticket and I'm going to be in the parking lot

[01:23:32] and I want to listen from a distance if anything there are the hacks right you buy them day of like

[01:23:39] an hour before yeah yeah I've been getting really cheap tickets so why not yeah

[01:23:46] they didn't take it all out like they're playing the prank might need to do one of those we'll see

[01:23:52] yeah okay we still have to brace okay and so yeah I think that that that that kind of covers

[01:24:00] everything when it comes to cowboy Carter but I do want to go to each of you one last time to give

[01:24:04] like some final words on either cowboy Carter or just be on say her impact as a whole

[01:24:09] Pharaoh if you would do the honors are going first tell us why this woman is mother why she is mom

[01:24:14] period me I'm saying Jacelle knows Carter is the queen of music because of this album and every

[01:24:22] album she's done in the past and every album she'll do in the future if you haven't listened I

[01:24:26] would definitely suggest listening no matter what genre you like she aided up here for you okay Nicole

[01:24:33] this is a this is a good one for you you say you're in the hive now you're getting comfortable and she's

[01:24:38] putting out I think this is probably the best vocally she's ever sounded oh my god it's so good um how

[01:24:44] do you feel about Beyonce and where she is right now in her career I mean I'm so happy for her

[01:24:50] I think she's just like she's truly an artist artist I think people lining up at the Grammys to

[01:24:56] like greet her kind of really showed that I think the lyrics that she has on here I mean she shouts

[01:25:02] out she talks about not getting album of the year in the sweet honey and her whole response to it

[01:25:11] is like I'm just gonna make another one and I know I'm gonna kill it and it is frustrating that we're

[01:25:18] seeing someone who's at the top of the game still not get album of the year but then also get

[01:25:26] placated with like but we're gonna throw every other Grammy at you and you're gonna have the

[01:25:30] most Grammys aren't you happy um yeah and yeah I think 16 characters also is really about

[01:25:40] um the the fear and the work and the tears and being away from her kids but I feel like

[01:25:48] in that song it she also says it feels like her responsibility it feels like a gift she got

[01:25:55] from god and she sees this as her responsibility so she'll know I don't think this is gonna be the

[01:26:00] final act although I did I did think in my head I was like three eggs what does what does that mean

[01:26:06] I don't think she could ever stop making music um and yeah just like the opera the skill

[01:26:15] I've gotten shit actually when I went with true behind fans to the Renaissance concert and I was

[01:26:23] like yeah I was not really like that focused on Beyonce until lemonade I just felt like yeah

[01:26:30] and she were like excuse me but I'm like I'm sorry but I I think it's still a compliment especially

[01:26:38] that after the culmination of all of her work in all of those years I think it only makes sense

[01:26:44] that more people will be paying attention to this artist who has only just grown yes Beyonce

[01:26:52] was great during like Destiny's Child and all that but I like also grown S Beyonce who is going

[01:27:02] to remind you who she is over and over again have no shame oh well said Sasha yes cowboy Carter

[01:27:10] is this Beyonce's album of the year I I refuse I don't care if the Grammy's

[01:27:18] that's why sorry when I get nervous I can't honest are you happy but really who the thing is

[01:27:25] and that I'm not gonna go down that row but I just have to say it's unfortunate of course

[01:27:30] and these are systems that were never made for us so I don't subscribe to them validating

[01:27:38] any of us are okay and then don't especially don't get me started on why Oscars only like sad

[01:27:46] and dense horrible movies okay yeah all indie movies call a nice so anyway the point is

[01:27:55] Beyonce is goaded she said it on tyrant which again we didn't talk about tyrant it's very sad

[01:28:01] but she says on tyrant baby I'm goaded and I'm glowing and that's it that's all we need to know

[01:28:07] about her I feel like she has ushered in a new era but she's always ushering in a new era she

[01:28:15] knows she's the moment and I feel that we need to learn that opulence from her right in reddison

[01:28:20] she goes like opulence and then it changes beyond say right over and over and that is what I

[01:28:25] always think of is she has always been a beacon for abundance and that's what we need to bring

[01:28:31] to our lives constantly she's always channeling right that oh shun energy and it's just no one was

[01:28:39] doing maternity shoots before her right like these just weren't things before her and I just I feel

[01:28:46] people are giving her flowers but the fact that she's the celebrity to the celebrities that's all I

[01:28:52] need to tell you about Beyonce okay Mari the comptroller of the beyond what did we miss here

[01:29:01] talking about cowboy Carter and Beyonce I don't think we missed anything I think this was a great

[01:29:06] panel we talked about the highs the lows we spanned her career on accident kind of but even

[01:29:13] better I think we had a very good look at retrospective about cowboy Carter and it's impact

[01:29:22] the single fact the fact that it's like broken like this the Spotify streaming records for 2024

[01:29:29] that were just four days out and I think it's already double the streams of Renaissance

[01:29:35] is like first week or something like that I don't know how streams work you know I'm the physical

[01:29:40] album generation I still don't understand how all that goes but she smashed so many records

[01:29:48] and at this point it's like what can't she do and the fact that that she just wants to be an artist

[01:29:55] it wants to put her music out and it's kind of like the people who get it get in you know the girls

[01:30:00] that don't don't you know type thing is she no diva yeah it's what is what I love about her exactly

[01:30:08] like if you don't get it is not for you you know I'm saying and it's specifically for

[01:30:13] people for certain people so if you're not those certain people and you don't get it then that's

[01:30:18] on you but if you're you know if you want to come in you want to be an ally you want to rock with

[01:30:23] us we're rocking with you type thing so I mean Beyonce is really just generational the amount of

[01:30:32] discussions that this album has produced not only here with us but for on social media for the past

[01:30:39] weekend it was so funny that other stuff was happening each time something else would happen

[01:30:44] during the week I was like what are y'all doing it's Beyonce week it's Beyonce yes

[01:30:52] like Lizzo says she quit I'm like Lizzo what girl no like what is we're not get on now like

[01:30:58] what is happening right now don't get like don't make no sense like this is this is all happening

[01:31:04] right it's Beyonce's weekend right now so y'all are lucky we're going back to our jobs and not like
