BEYONCÉ’s self-titled: • the reason your favourite artist releases music on fridays • the reason standards for music videos and visuals is so high • popularized the “surprise drop” your favs are following (labeled as “pulling a beyoncé”) so yes, thank you beyoncé.
. who cares if the songs are released on fridays ? who cares bout that . the standards for music videos and visuals were already pretty high since the 80s .... videos are pretty much irrelevant since 2015 . surprise drop are the one im gonna give it to her but not really something i personally like however , yeah she popularized it
@@jasonh3197 1. before 2016, albums and singles dropped on tuesdays. beyoncé was a sole factor in switching new music tuesdays to fridays since she dropped on a friday. • music videos have been irrelevant since 2020 due to the mass usage of streaming services. and yes, mvs have been held to high expectations since the 80s. but we are in a new century and decade along with the digital age. beyoncé is the blueprint for visuals *of this generation.*
i still remember this day. i was in my dorm and all you heard was screaming from multiple rooms and everybody gathering in the hall talking about beyoncé
I was in high school at that time and didn't have a phone, but all my classmates did and just randomly start getting up and showing their screen talking about omg Beyonce just dropped an album lol
The Beyonce we know today is defined by the self-titled release. I remember spending nights just watching the videos over and over again, it was amazing
My grandmother died that day and Beyoncé released maybe my 2nd favorite album of hers (#1 is Renaissance). It’s maybe the most emotional I’ve ever been on a single day and yes, Heaven hit me like a truck.
loved every second of this video. i always get a lil sad hearing about the self-titled drop. i was only 11 at the time, and totally missed how big of a culture shift it was. i wish i got to experience it in its entirety sometimes, but at least i understand and cherish it now as an adult. one of my top albums from her.
I was watching Degrassi reruns during that night. Then my girl just dropped the album out of nowhere and I FREAKED out in my living room and bought the album so fast! I begged my mom if I can buy the album on iTunes and she said YES!!! I was 15 at the time lol! NO ONE can ever compete with my Queen! She's been in this game for years and still killing it! a living legend!!!!
No gimmicks or nothing! Do y'all hear me🗣️?!! No pre-orders, No Streaming, No promo etc... Her name alone 👑 I've been obsessed with music & the industry since I was kid and Lemme tell you... when this dropped it was earth shattering!!!! I've never seen an artist shake up the industry the way this Queen did😳 it was like she hacked the system or broke the matrix!!! The labels were shooook that she pulled this off.
Even Beyoncé herself was shook... She was expecting the worst😂 & was very surprised at the outcome. Y'all need to stop all comparisons to Bey... The girls & boys will never do anything as monumental as this.
I'm sorry I keep coming back but this was soooo ICONIC!!!! 🔥 The industry needed this at the time!! Drake, Taylor and recently Kendrick (plus many more) have dropped surprise albums because of Beyoncé & what she did with this release... Theirs didn't do what yonce's did though💅 Didn't impact, shift or change the industry at all 😂 Bey had the industry & THE WORLD 🌍 talking for weeks!!! Everyone was shook
I was a sophomore in college and I was in bed about to go to bed, immediately realized she dropped when I refreshed Apple Music and the way my jaw dropped... I now speak sign language.
I was in 5th grade. My parents rented a condo for my birthday at the beach.. a week before The vacay, this album dropped. I spent the entire vacation recreating the 7/11 MV on our balcony that was my best birthday ever. I turned 11
@@JaquanAtkins true but the unapologetic rollout was still going strong. Stay was going crazy on the charts, Pour It Up was released, The Monster was released, Bad (Remix), Pour It Up is what birthed Miley’s rollout, and inspired the pop girls the go in a more trap direction.
@@TeeTee-qv4jj Uhm no, she was named "the greatest pop star of the 21st century" by Billboard. They were referring to that. You can read more about why on their website ☺
I dunno. She’s so overrated and she bores me for some reason. She has some great songs but most to me are fillers. This is not like MJ’s Thriller. Beyoncé doesn’t write ✍️ her songs, she cowrites and takes credit from others! She buys her songs. Everyone in the industry knows this but are scared to say anything.
Phenomenal job sir.... I had forgotten how much this album meant to me. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard about the release. Thank you for reminding me.
I was a freshman in college. A bunch of us were sitting in the lounge in our dorm and we started hearing rumors that she dropped an album. And when I tell you that we all panicked and freaked out when we found articles reporting on it. Didn’t go to sleep until maybe 2 in the morning that night.
I remember when it dropped. I thought it was an accident. I clicked on it believing I only had a little time to hear it before *someone was about to be fired* and it disappeared. I’ve never felt so desperate to hear an album. That adrenaline rush + the actual album being one of the best I’ve ever experienced was just… wow.
This is such a phenomenal analysis of self-titled! I am Beyhive DOWN and I love learning other takes and details from fellow Beyhive ❤❤❤ Amazing job on this video!!
First of all, great video! Love your edits (the intro clips had me dying 😂 I’m surprised the ✨BEYONCÉ✨ 21st bday clip didn’t make the cut lol), you have a great voice btw and overall a really well put together analysis. Because of RUclips channels like yours, it fills the void of the old shows I miss on VH1 or MTV like Diary and Behind the Music, Driven etc I appreciate this video because in a nutshell it reminds ppl of Beyoncé’s artistry and how great and talented she is to the point ppl tend to forget just how outstanding and extraordinary she is! When you make slaying look so easy, ppl become convinced it is easy but it isn’t. Which is why videos like this are important and Beyoncé self-released docs are important. ❤ The day this album dropped, I was at my sister’s house and we woke up to “OMG BEYONCE DROPPED A NEW ALBUM!” It was like a gift lmao we were both going to separate holiday parties that day but this album became the instant pregame soundtrack.
this was so incredibly detailed and so well worded!!! loved this so much and i already knew self titled was my fave album of hers but god this definitely solidifies it. like if it wasnt before, it would be now. amazing job!!!!!
A NEW WAYNE TV VIDEO OUT OF NOWHERE TODAY F YESSSSSSSS LETS GO BRUH SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON CAME EARLY 😭😩🙏❤ I love your channel if you couldn’t tell lol
My mother died on this day I still remember the police knocking on my door to inform and my fiancé at the time had downloaded this album on my phone to try and make me feel better and I listened to it in the bathroom by myself and cried I had just talked to my mom the day before and she sounded fine so I was in total shock
The interview at the 6 minute mark where she’s talking about how people will believe and say whatever they want about you and it makes her cry but she can’t change it Just makes me feel more bad now as people continue to lie on her name Even though she has risen above it and has been able to ignore it but still she is still human
I will never forget that day, it was 1pm in the Philippines, was scrolling on my instagram and saw it. I WAS GAGGED. Screaming and shaking like wtf is happening.. Literally, it changes the music industry forever. BEYONCÉ was phenomenal.
I remember being in grade 9 science and seeing the drop on twitter. My friend and I RAN to the washroom only for iTunes to be fucking down. The trauma of having to wait 3 hours to get home on the family PC just for iTunes to still be down. Life changing moment for real.
VERY NICE DOCUMENTARY AND I TRULY AM VERY HAPPY THAT I WATCHED IT FROM BEGINNING TO THE END 👍👍👍 NOW I REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY SOME BE HATING ON HER😮😮😮 THEY REALLY NEED TO TAKE TIME TO WATCH THIS VIDEO YOU REALLY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB 👌👌👌
I do agree that there are many parallels between Michael Jackson and Beyonce body of work even beyond comparing Thriller and Self Titled Beyonce album.
The beginning of the video makes me think what her career would be if she did not have a unique name. Please don’t be dumb under my comment I will attack you. If you know what I’m saying then you know what I’m saying
you can’t be my friend if you can’t tell me where you where when self-titled dropped!! I was in my dorm room packing for break and I wanted to listen to music. I feel like i caught the drop right when it happened. I remember tweeting out “uh yall is there a beyonce album on iTunes right now!?” It was absolutely insane lol
@@Savon_io He wrote like 6 songs on Rated R including Te Amo and Wait your turn, he wrote 1 song on Unapologetic which was Get it over with, he wrote James Joint on Anti. He wrote That's Why You're Beautiful on Sasha Fierce, he wrote No Angel, Blow on Self titled. Also Ester Dean only wrote Rudeboy plus a few songs on Loud. Her main writers have been The Dream, Neyo, James Fauntleroy, Ester Dean, Sia etc.
It's okay haha swifties are the kind of group who would also say that Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Britney etc had no impact in music. Let them remain delulu
I remember catching a flight hella early in the morning, so I was clueless. I landed and my NYC bestie / future roommate picked me up at the airport acting all types of crazy… I was like sis, wtf - he said shut up and just started playing the album. First time I was ever happy with being stuck in traffic from JFK lmao

didn't MJ and Madonna popularize high-quality visuals...
i would say the reason the standard for music videos and visuals r so high is because of michael jackson but the rest i agree with
Her videos don't compare to MJ but i agree with the first and third points
December 13 2013 is a date that should be placed in history books for the cultural reset Beyonce provided
Bro I thought you were me
What tha fuck ever🙄
No.
December 13 1989
Yes omg I loveeee this album ❤

omg twinsssssss
SAME I was 12 and I'm so mad how I missed it completely😭😭😭
Not just her suprise dropping an album, but casually dropping music video's or visuals for every song at the same time?! My mind was blown 🔥🐝

Idk why I'm not as excited about Bey like y'all are I respect her as an entertainer.

7/11 wasnt on the first edition of the album tho?
28:10 Blue Ivy is so cute🥹“good job mommy“😍
the human nature intro will always be THEE intro

facts
one of the best albums of all time, and one of the greatest moments in pop culture history.
2013 was a good year for Music
Beyoncé
Miley
Katy
I miss those days 😭
Don’t forget Rihanna
@ never that’s my fave but she didn’t release an album that year
@@JaquanAtkins true but the unapologetic rollout was still going strong.
Stay was going crazy on the charts, Pour It Up was released, The Monster was released, Bad (Remix),
Pour It Up is what birthed Miley’s rollout, and inspired the pop girls the go in a more trap direction.
I’d to my list Lady Gaga and Rihanna
it's funny bc she brought the importance of having music videos and now she's taking it back! yeah, she can do whatever she wants
This woman deserves her flowers, give it to her while she’s still here♥️♥️She’s insanely gorgeous and talented, love her!! OG it girl
Queen Beyoncé is an icon and a legend and the standard when it comes to music. She deserves all her flowers. Team Beyhive.
THIS ALBUM IS JUST ANOTHER PROOF THAT BEYONCÉ DESERVES TO BE NAMED THE #1 POP STAR OF THE 21st CENTURY...😊
Chile Please🙄😂 I swear yall worship dat woman. Ugh🙄
@@TeeTee-qv4jj Uhm no, she was named "the greatest pop star of the 21st century" by Billboard. They were referring to that. You can read more about why on their website ☺
