Reason why " Work" has outclassed "Formation" in every category?

There is audio of the actual reference track

he gifted it to her, was no snatching of songs like Drake did on IYRT

He's like Static/Dream/Kellz, writes songs for himself and others

There is audio of the actual reference track

That doesnt mean he was ever gonna be on it or release it himself.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Formation feels like half a good song. The gay dude dialogue and the way the song repeats itself really hurt it IMO. Whereas Work is just a catchy pop song. It's an obvious win.

Also wtf @ "negro" being edited from Formation on the radio lol.

 

[Anti-Anime]

White bytches can't dance to formation

Jay in the streaming game is like stringer bell in the property game he needs to cut his losses. Beyonce shyt trash tho it wouldn't move units on itunes either.

Because Trap music is played out, and especially corny when it's being done by middle aged people. I don't want to hear 35 year old Beyonce sing/rap like a millenial 18 year old and neither do most people.

I know that. Reference tracks are made by a writer who wrote the song to show the artist how to sing the song they wrote. So PND wrote the song for Rihanna and made a reference track for her to show her how he thinks the song should be sung.

Cause work is catchy

shyt gets stuck in my head and I hate the damn some

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Formation is exactly perfect for Bey stans and drag queens. For everyone else it doesn't connect and sounds forced. She really thought the hot sauce line and the red lobster line were gonna be the new hot shyt out there

This one is like pt 2 of that "clap clap clap like you don't care, I know you care" song. She needs to stop trying to be a rapper and make some shyt like her first album

White people feel comfortable when work comes on thats why

 

[Scoop]

Formation is a good video but a meh song.

It's also pro-black so it was never going to be huge hit.

Work has a Drake feature (a bad one, but lets be honest the bar is so low for him at this point), appeal to college aged and older women with its gotta get up and work message and a tropical sounding beat right at Spring Break time.

Higher is better then both of them though.

 

[WickedGames]

Strange thread, Formation is cool but it's not hard to tell why Work is a much bigger single

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Formation is not ppro black. Dont let the imagery confuse you

For real. It's feminism and that girl power BS shyt.

 

[TEH]

Beyonce has gotten too formulaic. And its one of her worst songs.

Honestly, everything since "4" has been kinda "meh"

someone sees things the way I do with her
