Видеоклипы
she opened both her legs and her brain on this album
Exactly😂😂
😂😂😂
i fucking ADORE this comment oh my god
CRYINGGG
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
This album is really THEE Beyoncé's album. No promotion, no one knew she was going to release it and then BOOM. The world stopped. It was a UNIQUE moment. I really like to see people's reactions when they discover the album, and your reaction is incredible as I watch. Each sound takes you into its own universe, it's crazy!
I remember that day. I was so impressed and crying. 😭
changed the game with dat DIGITAL DROP!
changed the game LITERALLY!!! this woman never had competition, i'm so serious
i was late to the beyhive, i joined during the lemonade era. the only way i can experience the drop was through reactions that time lol. every reaction i watched were losing their mind lmao
Also because the whole "visual album" thing was so innovative. I remember RUNNING to my computer to go find the videos. I don't think there's ever been another album release experience quite like this for me.
Interesting that you picked up on the deeper meaning on Partition. She said that it was a complete fantasy in her head during early postpartum when her life was pretty much the opposite of the song. I’ve always found the “I just wanna be the girl you like” a rather sad and poignant line because after birthing a child and being in the weeds with a newborn you really miss the feeling of being desired. And then on top of that, Jay followed the all too common trajectory of cheating on her during this very vulnerable time.
how she wants to sleep with that camel is beyond me.. gross..
Lets not forget about her 2014’s VMA performance where she performed the entire album in 15 min ICONICALLY!!!!!!!!
that was the performance that made me a fan for life. I'd liked her before, but I truly fell in love after that performance
That’s exactly what I think of everytime I hear this album
MY SUPERBOWL
@@lostghoooul OMGGG SO TRUE
One her best performances to date
It's important to note that this was a fully visual album. So not only did she release new music, but also a music video for each song!! A fully visual album.... It was crazyyyyy.
And her making two videos for some of the songs and video for grown woman and sort of for standing on the sun
I REMEMBER the day!!
Yea we need to see his reaction to the visuals cause babbbbbyyyyyyy
@@pinkrhodeblush actually so sad of all these Ring Off never got one 😢
sadly this doesn't happen during Renaissance........YET

This took me soooo long lmaoo😭
Thank you for your work 😭
Hero
thank you so much
thank you💕
Of all songs, Blue is muted?? 😭
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (the feature on ***Flawless) is a Nigerian author who has written books on feminism, girlhood and other gender issues, for example 'Purple Hibiscus'. The spoken part in the song is her speaking. I think it's so cool, even 10 years later. What an ICONIC track and iconic lyrics.
That is literally my favorite song on whole album bc of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie she is an amazing author love her
beyoncé had a baby, did 2 theatre residencies then the super bowl then a world tour, WHILE writing, producing and recording this album AND it’s videos. then she revamped the tour to include the new material while still on the road. an insane 18 months.
fun fact: this album has 4 hidden songs;
- first half of "Haunted" is the hidden track "Ghost"
- second half of "Blow" is the hidden track "Cherry"
- first half of "***Flawless" is the hidden track "Bow Down"
- and the first half of "Partition" is the hidden track "Yoncé", and speaking of Yoncé, another fun fact;
Yoncé is acually certified Platinum, just with YT views alone. It is not available as it's own track on Spotify or anywhere else. Only on YT.
Don’t forget Bow Down is the hidden track in ***Flawless
I hope he Reacts to 4 (by beyonce)
@@husamelzien5738ohh really, i kinda was questioning it when i heard the song for the first time in full recently bc i knew she had a song called Bow Down, but i thought it is it's own seperate song
Hm. When this was released, those tracks weren't hidden.
And also bow down
when partition was playing i literally pictured the zendaya vine in my head😭
Unforgettable
This album was a cultural reset. New music Fridays was literally birthed through her doing this and surprise album/music drops are the norm now thanks to this album. Yet 10+ years later, no one still has come close to what she did by dropping a full length album WITH visuals like Bey did with self titled.
I never clicked on a notification this fast
HAHAHAH same
SAMEEE
so same 😭😭😭
This was Beyoncé’s I’m a grown ass woman album !! This album for me is when Beyoncé became a legend.
Lol I am Sasha fierce and Bday weren’t legendary? Lol
@@bperez8656 definitely not
@@dchaniiithey def were 😭
@@dchaniiiwhat you mean definitely not boy bye 😂
@@bperez8656 all her albums were amazing but this album set her on another level. She did a surprise release, she did it on a Friday and she did a full visual album, ppl didn’t do things like that so she changed the music industry. She also had multiple, already famous, producers all in one room working together. This album set her to a level that made her not just an amazing artist, which we already knew, high selling, record breaking but to the legendary status and best artist of our generation..
15:04 if you haven’t noticed, the first few beats from blow were actually 4 in total despite being slower than the usual pharrell signature ;)
Boots' involvement is fascinating; he was a nobody signed to Jay-Z's label and is responsible for most of the experimental production on this album. Beyonce somehow heard his work and picked some of his weirdest shit to work with, completely against the grain, then made history with it. The album is still amazing today, but its drop in 2013 while everyone else was chasing the dubstep pop trend was just wild; she expanded the borders of pop music so much with this album.
drunk in love MUST be listened to with headphones in, noise canceling is best. the end literally makes you feel drunk listening to it. it's genius.
im drunk asf rn, bout to go listen to it, FULL BLAST BBY, ill tell you how different it hitss
it’s the same w the future demo they both just got this tranquilizing essence in the voice that comes out beautifully on this song
the future demo didn't have the same effect. yall gotta let that demo rest bro. @@emmazimmer4659
my fav is blasting it in the car
@@aviannapenn4421well?
"This is so culturally important!" 😂😂😂
He’s so real for that
39:39 for real!!! 😂 let the record show Beyoncé brought “I woke up like this” to the pop culture public
4:00 "trynna fix something, but you cannot fix something you can't see, it's the soul who needs a surgery" I NEVER RECOVERED FROM THIS & WHY BEYONCÉ IT'S MY FAV ALBUM OF HERS.
Pretty Hurts, Haunted, Drunk in Love, Partition, Jealous, Mine, XO, Heaven, Blue, 7/11, Flawless Remix & Ring Off are EVERYTHING TO ME
Pretty hurts is my favorite, the build up at the end is everything 😭
finally some ring off appreciation😭
I'm a daughter of a Pretty-Hurts-&-Ring-Off mother, that sh!t makes me cry when i'm down but do i love her
I used to dislike Beyonce and pop in general until I heard Rocket stoned for the first time. It changed my life for some reason. It was that moment when I said: She is out of this world!!! Obsessed with her since, and it got only better and better.
Please do BLACK IS KING next. You will love it!! It’s the overlooked missing link between LEMONADE and RENAISSANCE
Up
This is it
Criminally underrated
her best project in my eyes and ears (pls don’t jump me)
NO FR THIS ALBUM WAS A LOVE LETTER TO AFRICA IT MEANS ALOT AND ITS HER WAY OF TELLING THE STORY OF THE LION KING
She put her whole Beyoncé Knowles-Cartussy in this record. I was a late fan // became a fan when this album was released (please watch the Blow video)
cartussy😭😭
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Cartussy*! The power her full government name has needs to be studied...
if u didn’t bust a nut to this record idk what to tell u man.
SERIOUSLY THIS ONE REALLY SEALED THE DEAL FROM HOW IT DROPPED TO HOW MANY TIMES I RAN IT BACK
Not Cartussy

Love your reactions Troy! ❤️
You clearly are such a REAL music lover. You pick up on all the nuances of this masterpiece and I love that you have not only become a Bey fan but also validate how exceptional this is from a very keen ear for music. Favorite reactor! Love you!!!
NOOOOOOO BLUE DIDNT MAKE IT TO THE RUclips VIDEO BRING IT BACK NOOOOOW
licherally thought I was crazy
Yeah the audio cut out for Blue, yeah?
@@atepriv its honestly probably because of copyright but its still upsetting :(
Copyright......
ITS MY FAV WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE MUTED?!
This album means so much to me. Thank you for letting me edit it Troy! ❤❤❤
The grown woman choreo fx 😭
this edit is top tier
Good job, love it haha ❤
You did a great job! Thank YOU
We love your edits Girlieeee
JUSTTICE FOR "RING OFF" AND "STANDING ON THE SUN"Caribbean Beyonce is my favourite Beyonce
ring off 🥺🥺
Absolutely!
such an incredible body of work that solidified beyoncé’s status as a legend. unrivaled production, stellar vocals, culture shifting lyrics, and stunning visuals. self titled is completely timeless.
You still need to react to:
Blond - Frank Ocean
Ctrl - SZA
ANTI - Rihanna
Jaguar 1 - Victoria Monét
A Seat at the Table - Solange
Ventura - Anderson .Paak
Shea Butter Baby - Ari Lennox
Love Deluxe - Sade
A MUST!!!
he HASNT done ANTI??? broooo
@@chickennoodlesoup3301 yes unfortunately
LOUDER for the Victoria Monet fans.... jaguar 1 is gooood
Bday by beyounce
AND CHANEL ORANGE BY FRANK
I don’t know if anyone already said this but you HAVE to watch the visuals to fully appreciate how much work went into this era. in chronological order
right! it’s a VISUAL album he’s missing so much
Agreed. With all the explanations from Bey. Her announcing why she dropped an album out of nowhere.
@@sretch10 wish they told him to do thisssss
We DID tell him on stream that he needs to watch the visuals but the mods said he would at do it later on😭 maybe he's doing a watch party for them on his patreon
@@Marii1S aw I hope it’s not just patreon 😭
THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING HAUNTED FOR THE MASTER PIECE THAT IT IS 🙌 🙌🙌
Not sure if it was mentioned to you but it was NOT JUST a surprise album but a surprise VISUAL album; literally ALL THE SONGS had a music video that came out together with the album and was available at the same time! Like she shot some of the videos in public areas and no one knew?? Amazing! And then just going on iTunes and seeing it ALL covered in Beyoncé art and banners like my word!! It was such a moment. You really had to be there.
He’s loved every beyonce album so i literally can’t wait for 4 and bey day. 😂 I believe he’s going to love the high energy albums alot
i can alr imagine him going crazy over ring the alarm 😂
He’s gonna go OFF to green light 😭
@KSibs-ml6zc omfg i cant waaaait!!
No it’s Kitty Kat I’m the most excited for 😂
i can see him going apesh** on freakum dress😭
The way RUclips silenced Blue nooo!!! 😭 I was so excited to hear Troy's reaction to that one 💔
XO being Kobe Bryant’s favorite Beyoncé song (which Beyoncé sang at his memorial) gives the song so much more depth
The impact of this album cannot be understated. I feel like if you watched the visual album…you would explode…had everyone questioning their sexuality. EVERYONE.
I almost passed away seeing “rocket” for the first time, night of, screaming and screaming
YEP. PARTITION CHANGED ME LOL
Oh to have the ability to listen to ROCKET for the first time again🥲
THIS!! 😭
I took 1st class tickets to the comment section! This literally changed the music Industry! Know where you were when that digital dropped! I changed the world! Works stop! Carry on!

Thanks a lot
The editing in this video is so fucking funny, the drake bit 💀💀💀
The squeak of the wheels got me 😂
i feel like this is beyoncé at her utmost core, both personal and professional. she's taking control over her soundscapes and it's a good feeling to ever experience.
I read somewhere that the 3 stars before Flawless mean the 3 stars rating that Bey’s group received when they were in the Star Search show 😮
Omg really?
@@rhettmitchell Yes 😍
The fact I was listening to this album when I was 14 completely unaware of everything she was actually singing about makes this so funny to me 😂
Yeah and I was still bumping just as hard to it lmao
In all seriousness, you have so much soul. That’s another reason I like you. You are very entertaining but you got rhythm and soul.
Watching Troy finally understand all the cultural references is HILARIOUS 🤣 🤣 So glad I found your channel, this is how I want my friends to react to new music with me
Same 🐝🐝
The editing is once again top nootchh 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The editing during the end of Partition:
YOU CAN BE BOTH and Pure/Honey on the background
😂😂😂😂
I love this!!!!
HE DID GROWN WOMAN WE WONNNNN
“I’m shaking ass down here but I am still bowing” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 i love u so much
TROY!!!!! It’s a visual album. Please watch it. It makes every song so much deeper
I wish I could re experience this album again… Beyoncé continuously raises the bar and changes the game. We’ll never have an artist like her again, and im so grateful I get to experience her artistry. She was put on this world to heal and entertain… TRULY the best artist living or dead in my opinion. ❤
Not me hollering "HOW IS HE NOT WATCHING IT INSTEAD??!?"
No idea how I got here or who this man is but still 😂
watching you discover 'Partition' and 'Rocket' was the highlight of my day
her BEST album 🫢
This is content I LOVE!! Thank YOU for diving into Beyoncé’s catalogue, it’s so underrated but deserves this kind of attention to detail, appreciation in social media. It’s just so FUN and top- notch QUALITY! ❤🐝👑
this is my favorite beyoncé album, the moment where she went from beyonce to BEYONCÉ, I remember so vividly when she released it! the number of iconic moments that came from this and it's so much fun seeing you picking up on them.
haunted is my FAVORITE songs ever, I can't listen to it a single time, it stays on repeat once I start because the various moments, WHEN THAT BEAT COMES IN AFTER THE 'what comes up ghost around'??????????? THE MF SONG
Lemonade is great, but this album cemented itself into pop culture. It'll always be my favorite.
The way you speak about the music beyond the lyrics and into the storytelling & production has me watching all of your videos back to back. Instant subscribe.
the random Donk reference after drunk in love???😭
I LOVE U😂
Beyoncé sang XO and Halo at Kobe Bryant's Memorial Service... I recommend you to react to it if you want to bawl your eyes out 🥺
Loved that performance, so heartfelt. Also amazing to note that XO and Halo are both written by Ryan Tedder of Onerepublic
And she switched up some of the lyrics from XO like the words "crashing" or "kill", such a sensible and heartfelt moment
After dancing like that to Grown Woman we need a The Gift React ASAP. It's one of her best works, so underated
yessssss
@HTHAZE PLEASEEEEE THE GIFT REACT
Yes! The Gift is so slept on!
Grown Woman is one of my faves
Yesss, 100% for The Gift
Omg your reaction brought me so much joy and rewoke all the feels I had 10 years ago. You had me in tears. Thank you!!
was not prepared to see Crissle and Franchesa Ramsey's infamous iconic clip when i clicked on this video but it was a welcome surprise and made me even more excited for your review as someone who's introduced to your content from this video. About to watch a few more videos because i love watching people who are passionate about music react to work they haven't heard/seen before~
(side note: also congrats on Crissle and Kid Fury from The Read for meeting beyonce and their overall cecred event experience mentioning for anyone that might want to know where the clip came from)
I’ve been Hive for half my life. I was giggling like a little boy watching your reactions to this because this how is how all of us were on December 13th, 2013. 😭 The perfect “you just had to be there” album. Thank you for reviewing!!!!
I was there with you. When the video hit and itunes full of yonce art we didn't know what to do
Cowboy Carter brought me here but his love of this album
beyonce has been, is, and will always be, that girl.
ur a gay man😂
Beautiful!!! You're awesome and I loved this react. This is a phenomenal album🎉
Dude. I am so excited for the "4" reaction. It has to happen!!
Waiting for SAWAYAMA by Rina Sawayama
YUP
+1
yesss!
OMG YEEEESSSSSSS
he listened to it on patreon!
that high note at the climax in Pretty Hurts is insanely good. the album overall is a masterpiece. with Lemonade and Renaissance, i will put it as Top 3 from her discography.
Yes I definitely need you to watch all the videos so you can see her vision 😌 Watching this with you makes me appreciate it even more, she fed us!!! The world literally stopped that night
haunted might literally be one of her best songs and i stand by that
But u guys it’s really worth subbing to his Patreon or waiting up on his streams because a lot needs to be cut for his videos but he’s very funny and insightful his commentaries sometimes give music scholar yup
There’s no comparison! It’s the sexiest and fancy album of the world! I just love this woman
hey troye! my favorite thing about beyoncé self-titled is that it's a visual album, and every song has a music vid, as well as pretty hurts being my favorite song off the album! hope you're having a great 2024 so far!
Your Beyonce video reactions have been my favorites of yours !! Homecoming next plz :)
Doing this reaction without the visuals is criminal! We need a part 2 with the music videos 😭
Wow! Thank you so much for this Troy. I used to be a die hard Beyoncé fan in my early teens and listening to this again in my mid twenties I realize just how much impact she probably had not only on my Femininity but self-love in general. People said it first but this is THE album and this is a perfect time for the world to be exposed to it again.🐝
This album was also one of the first where every song has a music video. I remember watching the whole album and being AMAZED when it came out.
We had to wait a WHOLE YEAR for this album to be available on Streaming services. What a time to be alive ❤❤
This album and the impact it had….IT WAS HISTORIC. My favorite in her discography that means so much to me.
I need you to listen Florence and the Machine. Like nothing is same once you meet her. How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful or Ceremonials they are both amazing albums. She is a great vocalist and song writer. I feel like you might like her songs.
YESSSSS OMG
First video I’m watching if yours and definitely a fan 😊
I love watching other people get just as excited about the stuff behind the voice I mean voice speaks for itself but the intricate things going on in the background 👩🏽🍳 💋 welcome to the beyhive 🫡
I live in India and the stream was very late in the night but I stayed up late and watched it. I was waiting eagerly for you to upload this on RUclips.. THANK YOU❤
THE BEST ALBUM EVER, the album that made me a hive
this album has some of the sexiest songs i've ever heard
i love whoever edits your videos it has me cracking up😭
Your reaction to "Pretty Hurts" is the purest thing I've ever seen. ❤❤❤
You give me new appreciations for songs I’ve heard over and over!
Chat during rocket is everything 😭
you watching everything about beyonce is my new favourite thing
Haunted was my fav song back in the day omg!!! This is such a throwback I’m glad you brought this back!
Man, I LOVE how much you love music.

Troy i think you're one of the best reactors out there
I wish you also reacted to the videos as well. apart from the suprise drop, SELF-TITLED popularized visual albums.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to XO. It is actually my favorite Beyonce song of all time because it has everything: touching lyrics, amazing melodies, and top tier vocals.
