Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, you couldn't help getting an impression from the Super Bowl halftime show. People everywhere are saying the Beyonce's performance of "Formation" was a racist slur against cops and a plug for the racist "Black LIves Matter" cabal.
Help me out here.
I was watching it like everyone else. I saw a bunch of chicks dressed in, I don't know, maybe quasi military uniforms. There was a lot of syntha-music in the back ground. They had some kind of slutty dance going. I couldn't hear half the music that was playing, if you could even call it that. And I was thinking to myself that maybe Beyonce would consider a few months working out with the thigh-master, since she was sporting some chunky hams, but the movements she and the girls made gave me the impression they'd be a hell of a roll in the hay.
And here are some of the lyrics that I couldn't even make out because the sound quality was so bad:
Ya'll haters corny with that Illuminati mess
Paparazzi, catch my fly, and my cocky fresh
I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress (styling)
I'm so possessive so I rock his Roc necklaces
My daddy Alabama, Momma Louisiana
Ya mix that negro with that Creole make a Texas bamma
I like my baby hair, with baby hair and afros
I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils
Earned all this money but they neva take the country out me
I got a hot sauce in my bag, swag
A couple of things, from basically a conservative who is also a neutral observer of the whole thing:
1. Where is the racism against the cops? It's clearly not in the lyrics.
2. Okay, I found out later on that those outfits were used by the Black Panthers, at least the ones with the berets. Considering that I grew up when the Black Panthers were formed, I didn't recognize them. Was this deliberate, or did some faggy choreographer just decide to make a fashion statement?
3. Anyone else here besides me think that maybe black people would be outraged if a white artist sang those lyrics, about "Negro nose"?
4. Check out some of the other lyrics to her...uh...hit song Formation:
When he fuck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cuz I slay
When he fuck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cuz I slay
If he hit it right, I might take him on a flight on my chopper, cuz I slay
Drop him off at the mall, let him buy some J's, let him shop up, cuz I slay
Yeah, right. You all are probably scratching your heads and wondering the same thing. Just imagine a white guy telling an attractive black woman: "If I fuck you real good, will you take me to Red Lobster."
I don't think it's so much about being racist. It's just that TODAY'S POP MUSIC REALLY FUCKING SUCKS.
Your thoughts?
