This album was an absolute treat. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, what I got was one of the most powerful albums I've ever heard. There was so much variety and power coming from this album. Not to mention the commentary running through the entire album. I was surprised again and again with the sheer amount of musicality that Beyonce brought to the table. This was the most her that I've heard from her on any of her albums. If you enjoyed the video, leave a like and subscribe! Have a beautiful day! Bye!!!
#beyonce #selftitled #drunkinlove - Zábava
“Probably won’t make no money off this, oh well” is in reference to her releasing the album with no prior announcement or promotion assuming it would be a commercial failure. It became the fastest selling album in iTunes history
This album changed the music industry. I was a junior in high school, waking up realizing that Twitter was in a frenzy because Beyoncé dropped a surprise album. 😂 Albums used to drop on Tuesday, if I remember correctly. Self titled dropped on a Friday and it’s been that way since. 💁🏾♀️
That’s true! And ever since then, everyone dropped their music on Friday and get that weekend play for streams/ people to get hooked onto it. She was gonna drop her new album, Renaissance on a Tuesday this time and that would’ve changed the industry AGAIN, but she dropped it on a Friday. (Even though some stores overseas sold her CD’s and some people leaked it online.)

Where's bow down?
@@fatimaconde7033in the beginning of ***Flawless
the more I revisit Beyonce and destiny's child discography, the more I realise she's always been on a level that is unreachable to most
It’s crazy to learn that after she lost that one competition, she went on to win 35 in a row and THEN got an opera coach
"Is this the most sexual song Beyoncé has ever made?" RENAISSANCE ALBUM: Hold my beer
Right 😂😂😂😂
Nothing on Renaissance was that sexual compared to this though 😭
@@vxnus8909fr rennie is for the clubs, this album stays in the bedroom 🥵
The extended version of Rocket & Blow alone will leave a boy balled in a corner😂
no, not at all. renaissance doesn’t compare to self titled.
Your comparison of "Drunk In Love" with "Dance For You" is an eye opener. So dope.
All these years loving both songs and never made that connection 😂 definitely eye opening
In the black community we have a wording for what you do in the video. It's called "stank face." It's when the sound of a song and/or the artist singing can belt out a sound that reaches into your soul and sounds so funky or have singing acrobats to it, that your face has no choice but to make that face of something that shows what you are hearing is too good.
You, sir, have a "Don't make that face or it'll freeze that way" type of Stank face. lmao🤣
Beyonce can do that to people, though. I don't much blame you. It's deserved. Glad you invest in your music and really feel it.
As always, I like your insight and enthusiasm reactions. Thanks.😂
btw....Pretty Hurts is one of my favorites on this album. Can't help but cry whenever she gets to her last verse about being alone and the truth hits you, and are you happy with yourself. My voice cracks whenever I get to that part...it resonates subject matters for me. Beautiful album and visuals. I can't wait for you to watch them all.
This was Beyonce's "mothers can still be sensual and sexual just because they had kids" album.
This was released after her daughter, Blue Ivy was born. People got absolutely offended about Partition. And I'm like...she's not talking about meeting some stranger in the club and going home with them, like millions of songs other people do. She's singing about keeping the fires burning with her husband.
There are insecurities involved in between the telling of the story of this song. Basically the many emotions a new mother and wife would feel in yet another title put on her of "mother". She still worries about being attractive to her man and not being enough to keep him interested.
The sexual theme on this album is actually an advocate for feminist women that you can remain a wife in the kitchen with children with a demanding career and still be the sex goddess in the bedroom. You don't have to lose the spark, you can have it in public (drunk in love video), in the car (partition), in the kitchen, anywhere.
YEA! Also, she said in an interview that after giving birth, the sexual aspect of her life was very much on the sidelines and she wanted to bring that back. So I think the way the album starts with pretty hurts is really smart, because I believe that, after you give birth, your body changes completely and, for someone who is well known for the image, she must feel very charged for that physical perfection. The album itself seeks to bring beyonce working with the acceptance of her body and how this permeates the way she feels safe to engage sexually with someone, to the point of creating a persona / alter ego, capable of overcoming mental obstacles and make her potentially sexual again - in my opinion
it’s actually not hun
This brings back so many memories. Wow almost 10 years ago. This dropped as a surprise in 2013 during first year finals back in med school. I love this album so much. I used to listen to it on repeat while studying. XO is one of my favorite songs ever. Beyonce really put out the finer things later on her career
Self-titled dropping at such a pivotal moment in my life is the reason I have such fond memories for the album.
How has your medical career been going?
@@deviantmoore9744 not sure if you’re genuinely asking or just trolling but I am a 2nd year Hematology Resident now
She is iconic legendary we are blessed to have her still going strong she will be forever love. By me and billions
It feels so CRAZY "BEYONCÉ" was realesed in 2013, I mean... It feels like yesterday (and it was THE moment, the WWW stopped!!). And her 2014 VMA performance is AMAZING... She sang all the songs from "BEYONCÉ" and KILLED, one of the best award tv show performances!!
The difference between Blow and Rocket is that Blow was fun and teasing but Rocket is extremely intimate. It's slower and the bass is deeper and her voice is not in her high range. The melody is smooth and her falsetto breaths make you breath with her. The tremble in her runs remind you of approaching a special peak(-_^) wink wink
You’ve never heard Drunk in Love before this?! This song used to be everywhere! lol Your facial expressions and your take on the album so far.. I subscribed!
Right it’s still crazy that some people still haven’t heard some Beyoncé music 😂 especially drunk in love it was ALWAYS ON 😂🐝
This album is sexual and for more mature listeners, and it also came right after she gave birth to her first child 💙🌿*BLUE IVY*. I think she even explains this in a 4 part interview giving details on a few of the songs. And from what I can remember she stated that she wanted to show her body and more mature sexual side to herself because she basically has that right, and because being pregnant for 9mths most women who are don't necessarily feel sexy. So she got back in shape and to did this album as a result from that. Plus, she was also finding out at this time that Jay was lying to her and possibly cheating etc etc. from which led to the elevator incident and then Lemonade.
Bey and Jay have a whole joint album 😊
You've never asked for all the Beyoncé lore you get on these videos from the Hive, but here's some (very basic) from me: In Jealous she sings "if you're keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine", and in Sandcastles she sings "every promise don't work out that way". Which made me bawl my eyes out the first time I heard it. Second-hand heartbreak right there. In Jealous it sounded like a warning and a pledge, and in Sandcastles it sounds like acceptance and healing.
I think superpower is my fav collab of her ... i always come back to this song :) it's very toned down and it sometimes suits her so well
Such an underrated song
Highly underrated! We need another collab from those two cause they made magic ✨
You on the song Blow and Rocketwas hilarious 😅😂
Bey is Creole so her putting some French isn’t a surprise hehe
This album was excellent.. gives many vibes.
Dude your reaction to this entire album was the best 😄
Omg I just LOVE your reactions Gavin, big love from Melbourne, Aus 💗✨
I honestly love your reactions, they resonate differently ✨❤️
Your reactions are always a vibe 🔥
You’ve gained a new subscriber
Your reactions are so real
I love Beyonce since 2001. Still i didnt see her live, she been to Philippines once but i was still very young then. Its my dream to see her live. ❤️❤️
I hope you do, its an amazing experience.
your face is everything 😭😂 this was amazing!!!! def subscribed and can’t wait to check out your other Bey reacts
Thank you for this video 😍 Are you planning on doing The Gift (though I'd suggest to also do the visual film Black is King)?
The end with Blue speaking always breaks my heart in tears ❤️🥹
So, the lyric about eating the cake is a play on dominant and submissive roleplay. Yes, the original context of the line is about domestic abuse however Jay Z is a Master at wordplay and dynamic. It reaches back to the lyric Bey said in Haunted. "I walk down the hallway. You like it. I'm pinned to the doorway. Slap me. Kiss, Bite." As Bey has grown musically and has become so much more settled into herself, her sexuality, and femininity she has really started to indulge in her more sexually empowering and liberating fantasies. The BDSM community is an interesting place where dynamics are constantly examined and tested. When most people think of strong women they think of Alpha women. However, Bey is finding strength and power in the act of submitting. And if you have ever submitted to another person, emotion, or energy you will know how otherworldly it feels to do so.
I also want to add that Beyonce and Tina Turner are actually really close. Tina is Beyonce #1 inspiration. She has honored Tina Turner on more than 1 occasion and they have performed together. So know and understand in your very being that Beyonce would not allow any Tina disrespect especially on her own song and album. I hope this helped in understanding the dynamic of that lyric and the fact that it is Jay Z, Beyonce's husband, saying it.
Lolol 😂😂😂 your reactions to the difference songs is so entertaining and refreshing 😆😆😆
Great reaction! Thank you.
The best Beyonce album !
The songs that don't have as many spins were singles. People probably skipped them. This album was released with a visual album simultaneously. It was ground breaking. She literally dropped it in the middle of the night no press, no warning.
Awesome video!! You HAVE to, you MUST react to Lemonade VISUAL album! A masterpiece
Not sure how many collaborations they but the do have an entire album called "Everything is Love" under the name The Carters
In Mine when she’s talking about getting married I think she might me mean getting re-married. If you listen to their joint album that they did she talks about him “fucking up the first stone” and then having to get remarried. Jay also talks about them breaking up and getting back together. So this might’ve been at a time that they were separated but I don’t know.
Yeah you said what exactly happened! They were allegedly separated after blues birth till a bit before lemonade was released
I just love beyonce
your reaction to rocket was EVERYTHING
You gotta do her live performances!!!! Either Crazy In Love from her “I Am” Tour or “The Beyonce Experience” a good ballad would be “Dangerously in Love” Live from the Beyonce Experience or Sweet Dreams Medley Live at Wynn Las Vegas. There’s so many good ones.😩
Heaven breaks me every single time 😢
You have a new fan just off your faces ALONE! lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll... OMG ................ I felt so comfortable watching you digest the music. Your faces remind of black people when we FEEL something! It's hilarious I see why people laugh at us when we're grooving. I was making the same faces with you!
xo and blue are my top 2 favs!
yes 500 million views is a lot but remember this album is 9 years old and 9 years ago streaming was not the main source of music consumption. it would probably have wayy more streams if released in the streaming era
She also only had her music strictly on tidal for awhile
This album was engraved in my high school experience
This is long back but I found it by searching Dorian Electra reactions and then jumping around your videos.... I had to check when it came up if anyone in the comments explained the "eat the cake" reference's use inside the song and I didn't see it when I searched, so just in case even after this long no one did it:
The scene from the movie is of Ike shoving cake down Anna May's mouth.
The song is about having sex and Jay-Z's section is the more explicit and aggressive portion.
Put together a guy shoving something down their partner's throat during sex....
My favorite collab is the one with Naughty Boy, it's called Running
loved the reaction! would love to see you react to the flawless remix ft. nicki minaj
Piggybacking off other comments, you should definitely react to Nicki Ninja’s The Pinkprint 😁 Every song goes so hard
you need to react to the album Everthing is Love. (The Carters)
Loved 🥰 your reaction! Perfection imho. Enjoyed you!
Loved This!!! I would actually love to see you react to Drakes discography like this if you’re up for it!
Yesss
DRAAAAKEEEE?! *in my Soulja boy voice*
watch her yours and mine, she talks more about the idea of the album more with so much aesthetics
You’re amazing 😂
Freedom from Lemonade is ICONIC. Emotions live with Destiny Child and Celine Dion. Beyonce ft Beyonce. Beyonce ft Yonce. Beyonce ft Sasha Fierce. Beyonce ft Blue Ivy.
The reason the streams are so low are because this came out before the streaming era and she also took most of her catalog off Spotify for awhile
♥
I love that face you pull. You look like you’re just about to yawn 🤣
🔥🔥🔥🔥
PLEASE REACT TO MADONNA'S ALBUM ("RAY OF LIGHT" is a MASTERPIECE!). "EROTICA"(you're gonna love this one!!), "MUSIC" and "BEDTIME STORIES" are also amazing!!
Hi Gavin. We are waiting for your last Monica Naranjo Album “Mimetika” reaction , pleaseee. 😊
Your reaction to “Blow” 😂
Drake’s best album is Take Care. If you were ever to do any reaction of his music, that one would be good
I love ❤🇧🇷
Pleeeease more Euphoria react 💖
I don't know why but you remind of Tobey Maguire 😅
please react to the carters everything is love album by Beyoncé and Jay-Z
Yess please!!
Nah boring.
Pleaseeeeeew
Yes, great album!
pls react to grown woman
Please react to melodrama by lorde
i love you man LOL
Oh god I laughed so hard at Rocket 🤣🤣
As soon as you pondered I’d Blow was the sexiest on the album, I said aloud “not even the sexiest on the album”. 😂 Self Titled surprise drop is perhaps the best moment and memory of my life, no hyperbole.
Late to the party, didnt read all the comments so idk if anyone's cleared the "eat the cake Anna Mae" reference.. that phrase is used by alot of artists in their songs, metaphorically; some guys compare a female's (big)butt as "cake" and Drunk in Love is a sexual song soo yea lol
No disrespect to Ms.Tina Turner, as Beyonce idolizes her til this day!
This might sound weird but you could do the pennywise smile flawlessly.
Has anyone ever told you that you look and sound like Tobey McGuire lol
I see it 😂
React to Drunk In Love with The Weeknd!!
Where is he? We missed his energy especially, i could only imagine his hype reacting to renaissance 😂
you should listen to the pink print by nicki minaj. just it.
For real
YESSS PLEASE 🙏🏼
“Eat the cake, Anna Mae” is a pop culture reference (what’s love got to do with it was biopic about Tina Turner and Ike turner‘s life which day. The line is less about that and more so that’s a double meaning of the word cake. Cake equals so he’s telling Us Bey eats his booty but in a way that is not instantly understood.
You do know Beyoncé and jay have an entire album together right
I DEMANDDDDD a reaction on 'Badlands', 'Halsey' 's first album. It is one of the best albums of 2015-2016 in my opinion. It defined a huge era on 'Tumblr'.
React to Nicki Minaj- The Pinkprint Album please 💕
kanye did a remix of drunk in love ...really nice
I’ve never liked jay z’s reference to Ike and Tina Turner (Anna Mae) either …
a lot of people hate that Anna Mae line …. but unfortunately rap has no rules, no limits. a lot of people say outlandish things.
Dude, Yonce is just a nickname, short for Beyonce. That’s it.
Let me tell you an interesting fact.
Have you heard of K-pop? K-pop, which means Korean popular music, is gaining popularity all over the world, mainly among young people. It is characterized by strong and impressive sound, addictive lyrics, colorful stages and costumes, amazing stage effects and transitions, and attractive choreography.
It is trendy and intense, so you can choose according to your taste. If you search for the group name on CZcams, you can easily listen to their music as they are a famous group all over the world. However, we recommend a few groups for beginners.
BTS - The best male group.
As an all-around group capable of dancing, writing lyrics, composing, rapping, and singing, they are performing solo performances at stadiums in the US, UK, and Europe, and their performances are famous for being sold out within a day of ticket opening. (Representative songs - Butter, Dynamite, Dope, etc.)
BLACKPINK - The best female group. Their beauty, dance, singing, rap, and fashion sense are admirable. He is also active as a global ambassador for Celine and Chanel. She has collaborated with famous artists such as Selena Gomez and Nicki Minaj. (Representative songs - DDU-DU DDU-DU, KILL THIS LOVE, Ice Cream)
There are also many other groups and soloists. Sohyang, Forestella, IU, etc. These days, Cookie, Attention, Hurt, and Hypeboy sung by a group called New jean's are trending.
And it's also HEAVILY inspired by black music and culture in general.
