Beyonce & Nicki Minaj Flawless REMIX! Lyrics & song Review, Recap, Opinion! | MEET Magazine! (Listen to the track here)

Beyonce & Nicki Minaj Flawless REMIX! Lyrics & song Review, Recap, Opinion! | MEET Magazine! (Listen to the track here)








So, Nicki Minaj, who I adore, along with my beloved Beyonce Knowles, just released their new song together titled, "Flawless!" (Actual song below!)

I just wanted to give my opinion on the track! I will not be reviewing every single lyric, however I will tell you what I think about the overall sound of the record, and point out some notable lyrics that I think will get people talking!

Beyonce sings first.

Queen Bee said, "Sometime shit goes down when there's a Billion dollars in the elevator!"
Of course this was a reference to the infamous Elevator fight when her smoking hot sister, Solange Knowles, attacked Beyonce's husband, Jay z!

I wasn't surprised to hear her reference such a popular and current event. It was wise to do so because people will surely talk about it, the reference will receive headlines on blogs, and will be mentioned in news papers and broadcasts! So kudos to Beyonce for being brave enough to say that!

And extra kudos for the Billion dollar reference! Remind these THOT's of who the queen is!

Speaking of THOT's Queen Bee went on to say!
"These THOTS can't clock me nowadays!"
LOL! Now that's a good one! They couldn't clock you in the 90's and they sure cant now! Especially with you looking a decade younger than you are! I don't know what Jay z's groupies are thinking! I mean, he has Beyonce to go home to! Nuff said!

So, Beyonce goes on to say,
"Momma taught me good home training
My daddy taught how to love my haters 
My sister told me, I should speak my mind
My man made me feel so Got Damn fine!"

Well touche miss Knowles! I guess we all know whose on top! Her mom taught her how to treat people, her dad taught her how to maneuver in room full of vultures. Her sister taught her how to stand up for herself when appropriate, and her husband made her feel beautiful and secure!
Now if that doesn't scream, "WINNING" I don't know what does!


Now lets take a listen to Nicki Minaj's verse! Some of the things that she said that stuck out to me were, "May Day May Day, earth to bitches, smack these hoes on they ass like we birthing bitches!"

I got a good laugh out of that one, and the fact that it's true makes it even better!

Another stand out lyric from Nicki Minaj is when she said,  "Throw that ass back, I be on my Frisbee!"

I like that line. I mean, anytime Nicki mentions the elephant in the room, I smile!

As far as production goes, it's pretty good, and while it could have been better, it does sound a lot better than most music out right now. This song will last this summer. It's not a classic, but it is a HIT record in the making! And I will surely play it myself from time to time!

So now that I got the good parts out of the way, here are the bad parts! I have 2 major qualms!

#1 Beyonce vocal performance in some of the song!

Her vocal performance carried on in the current "Urban" musical styling of sounding mentally challenged, or Southern, or country, which is the same thing.

Beyonce sounds like a Blaxploitation film in some of the song as she employs that whole dumbed down Southern thing in her verse. And I was offended, it doesn't sound good and thankfully she didn't do it for the duration of her verse, as it would have completely ruined the song!

For the record, just because you're from the dirty south, doesn't mean you have to be dirty nor sound dirty!

#2 Subject matter and over all content!

My only other issue is that with these two young women being so powerful in the music industry, as well as the world, I would prefer for them to do something more positive than to make a song speaking about mediocre subjects, in mediocre ways! Don't get me wrong, the song is okay and everything, but at the moment with music being in it's worst state ever in 2014, we really need some depth! So, please dig deep ladies! DIG DEEP!

I give the song a 3.0 out of 5.0!
