The Lion's Den: December 2013

Now let me say my disclaimer first – I’m not a Beyonce Stan! This is a true and honest review of the CD/Videos. I’m not a paid reviewer. I’m just a little (we’ll pretend I’m little) ole celebrity opinion blogger who picked up the CD/Videos and decided to review it for my site.

I decided to review the CD because of the BOSS ass way she dropped it; no promotion, no warning, just BOOM BITCHES!!! DROPS THE MIC AND WALKS OFF STAGE with that How you like me now attitude! Then there’s the clip I watched on iTunes of Bey talking about why she did this CD with a video for every song, and I honestly felt and understood where she was coming from. I feel the same way about writing. I can see a situation and think of a whole scenario/chapter in my head. The characters just start talking. So I was like this chick is serious about her craft and she should be cuz she's good at it. I don’t think this CD is commercial at all. It is her straight from her heart.

I mean she bamboozled the hell outta me. I am not a Beyonce STAN but she came in and pulled my drowse to the side and said take this and like it!!! I feel like I looked in her eyes and she just sucked me in. I was like damn what did this heffa do to me!!! I’m not even a stan what the fuck is really going on. So on to the review. I hope you read the whole post and leave comments.

Please know this. The USA is a democracy but my blog is my Queendom and ignorance will not be tolerated. We can respectfully disagree but hateful, offensive and vulgar comments will not be tolerated and it takes a lot to offend me!

Track 1 – Pretty Hurts Directed by Melina Matsoukas starring Harvey Keitel

· Something about this song spoke to my lil ole soul. You see the young ladies getting ready for a beauty pageant and what they do to feel pretty to make others think they are pretty. You see scenes of young ladies eating cotton balls, binge and purge, fighting with other contestants. The song is great the VIDEO is powerful.

Track 2 – Ghost Directed by Pierre Debusschere

· This was short lil song and it reminded me of Kanye’s Runaway. Not in sound but feel of the video.

Track 3 - Haunted Directed by Jonas Akerlund

· So remember all the Illuminati talk? So yeah that’s all I have to say about this video. I do like the song. I wont be surprised if this beat is on someone’s commercial real soon!

Track 4 – Drunk In Love Directed by Hype Williams starring Jay Z

· Bey’s and Jay on the beach. She gyrating around. (I bet that sand was hell to get out her ass but I bet Jay didn’t mind getting it out) She get a little gangsta in it with the Tude and facial expressions. The song is ok. I did like seeing another side of her; free and loose. She threw in a few belly dancing hand movements too lol

Track 5 – Blow Directed by Hype Williams starring Solange and Ingrid Burley

· I loved this video and the song. It will be one of my repeaters. One of the songs I play in the morning to get that “pep” in my step. This will be a club banger TRUST ME. It will make it to radio with a little editing for the “turn this cherry out” lyrics.

Track 6 – No Angel directed by @lilinternet starring what I will call the Houston Allstars – Kirko Bangz, BunB, Chad Jr, Willie D, Lil Keke, Scarface, Slim Thug, Trae tha Truth, Paul Wall, and Z-Bo

· I honestly think this was a salute to what I call the Houston Allstars or all the artists from Houston. It looks like it was filmed right in the hood of Houston. Bey even goes to the club – da strip club that is. It’s not raunchy though. It shows a snippet of pole action and I mean a small snippet at that.

Track 7 – Yonce directed by Ricky Saiz starring Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls

· This is Sasha Fierce not Beyonce!!!

Track 8 – Partition directed by Jake Nava starring JayZ and The Crazy Horse Dancers

· So you know that fantasy that every girl has of being that seductive sexy stripper. Yeah this is the video to that fantasy.

Track 9 – Jealous – directed by Beyonce, Francesco Carrozin, and Todd Tourso

· The way it starts out you would think its about Jay staying out all night and her wanting to do the same thing but in my eyes she’s saying she’s jealous of us everyday people who can live their life without the scrutiny of every single thing being criticized or inspected under a microscope. Now yall might watch the video and see something different but what I wrote is what I interpret it to be.

Track 10 – Rocket directed by Beyonce, Ed Burke and Bill Kirsten

· This is a sexy lil number about sex. Its full of visual innuendoes. I don’t care much for the video but the song is a catchy lil tune.

Track 11 – Mine directed by Pierre Debusschere starring Drake

· Now this song disappointed me. I was expecting a lot more from it seeing as Drake is on it and that practically garauntees that it’s a double hit. But sadly not so.

Track 12 – XO directed by Terry Richardson starring Jourdan Dunn and Jessica White

· Remember how popular Katy Perry’s Fireworks was. Well this song will be that popular or more. It will be the background music for any commercial showing FUN whether it be casino, Vegas, or any camera company. It has that look and feel to it. I liked the video and the song.

Track 13 – Flawless direct Jake Nava

· Remember when she told you bitches to BOW DOWN and yall was like fuck Beyonce who is she to tell us to bow down. In this video she tells you exactly why yall asses need to bow down. Let me say it for her she’s rich, pretty, married to one of the richest man in the gang besides the fact she just aint his lil wife she came with enough to the table to eat alone and never hungry. She aint new to this game she grew up in the game and worked her ass off to get where she at. And lets see another Queen drop a CD like she did.

Track 14 Super Power directed by Jonas Akerlund starring Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Pharrell, and Luke James

· This is Sasha Fierce at the ThunderDome. Bey is letting yall know that nothing will break up the bond her Kelly and Michelle have so stop with the utter bullshit and pettiness saying they fighting and not friends. They will be FAMILY and LOYAL forever. Somethig some of you heffas no absolutely nothing about.

Track 15 Heaven directed by Beyonce, Todd Tourso starring Ashley Everett

· This is an ode to the baby she lost.; kinda sad but I guess she needed to get it out and off her spirit.

Track 16 Blue directed Beyonce, Ed Burke and Bill Kirsten

· This one is an ode to Blue Ivy. And I better not read not one ignorant ass comment about this baby hair not being combed or that she’s ugly, I will put rucks on your ass through the computer. Keep your ignorance to yourself. That baby is two and she don’t need her damn hair combed and she got more money sitting in her trust fund than most of us will make in 10 life times. (I will now step down from my soapbox. My blog my thoughts and opinions! Remember that and don’t gets besides yourselves in the comments)

Track 17 Grown Woman directed by Jake Nava starring Tina Knowles, Solange Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Ebony Rittenhouse

· The final track is letting yall know she grown and not to be fucked with and quit with the shenangins! This is a cute video full of home footage of Bey, Kelly and a baby Solange.

All yall out there in TV land NEED TO LEAVE KANDI ALONE ABOUT HER MOTHER!!!!

Do I need to repeat this for yall in the short seats and slow section!

She does not need to disrespect her mother. Point. Blank. Period.

She does not need to be all in her face about HER life to her mother. Apparently yall don't know what being respectful to your elders is about. Then you wonder why yo children running around cussing like sailors in front of you and not showing you any type of respect.

Don't ask this young lady to do to her mother what you would not want YOUR daughter to do to you.

Maybe she will marry Todd and worry about her mother later and just show her that Todd is the man she says he is. She don't have to be screaming it in every episode of RHOA.

I do have to give kudos to the Sisters/Aunts though. They came in like gangbusters! They wasn't let SHIT go down. You gotta love it. That's called Family and Loyalty!!! Some of yall don't know what that's like cuz you beef harder with your own family than you do the outsiders who treat you like shit.
