New Music: Beyonc

artworks-000042556287-m5qlnu-t500x500

“I took some time to live my life, but don’t think I’m just his lil’ wife…”

Beyonce’s got a new attitude. With Hit-Boy on the boards, King Bey lets it be known that her crown isn’t for the taking. At the 1:30 mark, she takes it back to the H-Town with Polow Da Don, Timbaland, Sonny Digital and Planet VI on the beat.

Near the close of the song, Bey says she made a cameo in a Willie D video. It’s unclear as to which one, but she did appear in a Geto Boys clip back in ’98.

    king bey?

  5. JustMyOpinion says:

    @ VegazTheOne What part of “H-Town roots” did you miss? A$AP Rocky didn’t start nothing. H-Town was doing way before majority of Hip-Hop fans took notice. DJ Screw, Lil’ Flip, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, UGK. Come on son, do your research before you make reckless statements. No disrespect.

    We have to be careful of making non-factual statements.
    —-
    Nice song, by the way. I think she’s making a statement with this one.

    Lol this shits horrible

    Vegas. The screwed up element Has BEEN prevalent in hip hop. ASAP only joined the wave. he made a song called “Houston old head” Claiming he “comes to houston all the time” And he had never been here. he couldn’t even sellout a small ass venue in houston (i was there, very few people came) also, a houston radio dj outshined him freestyling during an interview. And these are facts. Rocky was just gassin himself in that interview; I ain’t mad at him tho cuz he eatin. Beyonce is from the city, don’t get that twisted
    And I ain’t even a Bey fan

  9. SoloK says:

    W-T-F did I just hear!?!?
    thank goodness for that ass or else it would of been nastyyyy

  10. VegazTheOne says:

    …..no one gave a fuck about Houston until Rocky came up, he started the resurgence of the “h town” sound… You stupid if you don’t think so.

    No B.. Just No

  14. Ea$y Bread says:

    I can tell the Dream wrote this. It sounds just like Tron…

  15. Jacob says:

    Naw I actually do think ASAP has alot to do wiith people embracing Houston again…with people even wanting to experiment with it mostly comes from what rocky did last year…Screw was dead for a VERY long time and the only people that were listening were Houston heads…the resurgence of the word trill? Almost single handedly Rocky! People aren’t saying it because of Pusha T or Pimp C….think about it

  16. 2 cents says:

    Lmao son trippin. Man ASAP rocky shouldn’t even be in the same conversation as beyonce. These new niggas gotta quit wildin

  17. a says:

    A lot of artist been using a H-town influence before Asap, hes da one who just was was knee deep wit da sound. ,h-town is h-town harlem is harlem u cant take credit. For using another citys style first its corny , Beyonce dat bitch tho

  18. Dattpiffbitch says:

    @2cents calm down boy.

  19. 2 cents says:

    Jacob
    Bun B’s last album was titled “Trill OG”. even drake been using the term before rocky. Boosie and Webbie? Smh you new niggas.

  20. VegazTheOne says:

    Never heard a beyonce record with her voice slowed down, never in my life heard her say the word trill never once before rocky came out… so we just gone pretend ASAP had nothing to do with the sound of this song.

  21. JustMyOpinion says:

    ^ someone call grandma and get this kid out the basement. ASAP…..pun intended.

  22. daredone says:

    @VegazTheOne I get you on the A$AP influence even when ppl hate to admit it but Beyonce is actually from Texas and been from there before A$AP was even born, just cos she’s been singing for this long doesnt mean she may hve not been about her TX shit

  23. poetic assasin says:

    Houston never went anywhere – u can find Bun B on 20 tracks a yr – too many artists from Houston, stop talkin that nonsense.

  24. VegazTheOne says:

    Wasn’t a shot a beyonce, I’m just saying the ASAP rocky influence is so obvious on this track and you niggas acting like its not….

  25. MrDope says:

  32. Ricky Retardo says:

    Can somebody tell VegazTheOne to find Michael Watts please, ASAP is not an innovator, nor influential with chopped and screwed, H-Town birth AND bred. if anybody that re-surged the sound its Kirko and Drake

  33. Hot Boyz says:

      @Mac DIESEL go fuck urself.

  43. Starfox64 says:

    is beyonce tryna go backwards or someshit??

  44. Bonjangles says:

    NO ONE is tryna say A$AP created any of the shit , but he’s currently the one who’s heavily used the southern influence in mixture with a different breed of producers and has created somewhat of a hybrid sound . If the whole Houston sound wasn’t currently getting so much love do you think she would have put something like this out???

  45. LORD YOUNG says:

    b.dot on here talking shot/shit at rappers, i wonder what happens when he seen them in person?

  46. WTF says:

    Now she want act like she’s from Houston again just last week you wanna act like you from New York. Ain’t nobody in Houston checking for Beyonce now she she wanna act like I was in a Willie D video @ 14 lmao that’s how long ago she repped Houston. She trying to come off that high horse and tryin to relate. Rappers in Houston been chopped in screwed. This SHIT is GARBAGE!!!

  47. Oj da Cornball says:

    The fall beging now. Now room for arrogance of this magnitude in this type of music.
    This is an obvious influence of he demi-god wanna be husband’s narcism.

  48. Evil says:

    no no no what the fuck is she doing? this must be her worst song ever.Period.

  49. Starfox64 says:

    cosgin @WTF but again you gotta remember that this is beyonce, she’s known for doing this type of shit..

  50. itsMe says:

    A$ap Bey ……this joint crazzyyyyyy

  51. It's the roc says:

    Lol, the Rap Raiders are shitting on Beyonce today. Lucky for her we make up about 0.00000004% of her fanbase. I didn’t think it was that great either. Interesting, but not great. I’d let this rock coming from a peasant like Ciara or Keri Hilson, but the Queen Bee? Nahhh

  52. SuperMarioKart64 says:

    Dis wild nigga Mac Diesel getting under B Dot’s skin a little bit haha

  53. BlAzEENSANE says:

    Beyonce used to act classy in her years where this kind of language and content was allowed and now your married with a new born baby Girl(who jay said now we will hear him use the B-word less) and its these Bitches and Smacc these triccs sad . just like somebody said its not just her its a bunch of artist just moving baccwards

    Drake cuhz ur Bottom is a real Bottom Nigga Middle

    Selena Squaaadddd!

    and Now this shit she went from saying that yall as a collective run the world to calling yall bitches and telling yall to have a seat what a Gentlemen King Bey Right??? lol

  54. IIG says:

    I kind of like it myself. It’s better than the shit she has been putting out since her second solo album. If somebody would chop this right, we’ll have something.

  55. JustMyOpinion says:

    @ BlAzEENSANE When did YOU hear Jay said that? Where’s the video or a REPUTABLE news article of HIM making THAT particular statement. Told you…..some of you need to get out the basement.

  65. islandgrrrl says:

    Couldn’t get through the whole thing………….is that a measure of a great song? Me thinks not! Me thinks this chick is nearing the end of her so called ‘reign’ and needs to step down if this is the kind of sh%$t she’s putting out. Embarrassing.

  66. BEYONCERULEZ says:

    I love this song! ALL HAIL BEYONCE KNOWLES CARTER AS THE QUEEN OF POP!…BOW DOWN A$AP Rocky & ALL HATERS!….H-Town #281 #713 DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!

  67. BBGUN says:

    I don’t care that’s she’s from Houston. This was bad bad. Stay in your lane B. If she wants to be recognized as the next micheal she needs to pick her game up. Rihanna got you beat B.

    If she is King Bey does that make Jay the Queen. HA!!!

  70. Hammertime says:

    Yo Beyonce been takin L’s since she fired her Dad from pickin her music. This shit sound like a Rihanna throwaway song. Bitch 30 years old and now wanna start cursing and shit in her songs.
    SMH

  71. @ B . Dot do you get paid by the stanning post or what?

    Sheesh

    This is just more bandwagon jumping by Beyonce.

    Andre 3000 was right when he said the problem is everyone uses the same producers/stylists

    Oh look Beyonce took the influences that A$AP Rocky took from Houston sound

    So Beyonce waited till it was “hot” all over the nation before she took on this sound?

    lol

    B . Dot gonna tell us how great this is now and that Jay Z is the greatest and Rick Ross is next with Macklemore ready to take Em’s throne next

    ugh

    It’s becoming as predictable as 5th Rocky movie by now
    we know everything about how it starts and ends before the opening credits

    snooze 101

    @p0is0nedkoola
    Lester bangs of hip hop
    Imagine how excited B Dot will be when he hears the first audio of Blue Ivy’s first word

  72. lol says:

    Love Hate to recent music The Dream has been screwing his voice “pause”. Asap influence aint got shit on shit. Shit 2pac was screwing his voice before Asap Rocky lol. Rhianna got Beyonce reaching. Thats what I hear in this record. Not bad tho B

  73. Reallydoe says:

    Wowwww this is wayy out of character for her… I’m fuckin with the singing at the beginning shit is fierce but the rapping…..not so much.

  75. M1 says:

    What Willie D video??

  76. M1 says:

    Oh ok. Shoulda read first. I thought she meant a Willie D solo video like Play Wicha Mama. She meant to say a Geto Boys video. I forgot all about that one. I was on that Till Death do us Part myself.
    I miss that real ish but glad I know bout it cause some of yall got alot of chatchin up to do. SMH, Rocky?????

  77. WESTSIDE says:

    whats with all the tough talk from Bey? why? who told her that was a “good idea”? like seriously who is she “beefin” wit? this shit is annoying and unnecessary.

  78. M1 says:

    Can’t forget that Resurrection. Willie D verse on Time Taker=one of the realest verses ever. Nuff said.

  79. Black Shady says:

    Isn’t Bun from Houston…who the FUCK listens to Boosie and webbie anymore….case and point! Webbies biggest hit was Wipe me down (not even his song) that was like 6 years ago bruh! Trill OG was rated 5 mics…cool but who REALLY listened to it? Lets be honest after 06 Houston fell off let’s be honest! Beyonce wouldn’t dare use the style without SOMEBODY ELSE bringing it back. Of course he didn’t create but he popularized it again. That along wit niggas rappin like they Bone

  91. JustMyOpinion says:

    @ BIAzEENSANE

    You cursed me because you don’t understand what the word reputable means? Clearly, by citing an article from Vladtv you don’t. That days nothing it just show words, here’s what the word reputable means, pertaining to articles, an outlet with REAL (extra emphasis) journalist.

    So, may be you may to re-train YOUR google skills. Here’s a reputable article debunking that, so called, Jay-z poem:

    http://m.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-probing-whether-political-figures-financial-records-were-illicitly-accessed/2013/03/12/c43a5694-8b38-11e2-b63f-f53fb9f2fcb4_story.html

    Honestly, I gave you more credit for your intelligence. I was giving you a chance to actually show me a REPUTABLE (google that) article. My bad for thinking you were an intelligent person.

  92. michelle michelle says:

    Beyonce doesn’t care what you think….clearly

  93. thatkidlerix says:

    You can tell when Ni**as is new to hip-hop when they think someone from HOUSTON bit the Chopped and Screwed sound from someone from New York. Hip-Hop needs an entrance exam. If you don’t know what the F*ck you talking about you shouldn’t be allowed to participate. Dummies….smh.

    chopped and screwd was inventend in new york in 1990, by a harlem d.j, that had a baby momma in houston. he moved to houston with his baby momma, and introduced the style to them country niggas. so get the fact straight, before you start talking bullshit. ASAP ROCKY brong the style back to its home place. chopped and screwd is a new york thing. learn the history. houston didnt invent shit…

  107. actual young nigga says:

  108. actual young nigga says:

    this song is like u listen to it ounce like it cuz u love bey and its different den never listen to again most likely dats wat im gon do but hell im me

  109. xp says:

    So let me get this straight..beyonce who is an H-Town native who’s done songs people have told her to do her whole career, is NOT allowed to go to her cultural roots? What the fuck is wrong with you people. I dont understand why you think she should keep doing the same music and not experiment. Just like Kanye doing conscious music for a chunk of his career and then getting on some ignorant stuff..this is music. You guys should be happy she is branching out. I guess us blog commenters think we are the new A&R’s..smh
