Beyoncé does it again; catching the world off guard with a remix of her song "Flawless" featuring Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj.
Personally, I'm not a die hard Bey fan. When it comes to her previous albums I would only like give or take 3 to 4 songs. Yes, I know she can sing. Yes, she is an amazing performer. For me, I just wasn't connecting with her. Maybe I couldn't relate to the message of her songs but whatever it was changed when she dropped her self titled visual album.
As for her self-titled album I felt everything I wanted from her as an artist was received. Once I clicked that button and purchased that album; I landed in Beyoncé's world.
"Beyoncé" is played religiously and all these lovely remixes give each song an exciting twist. Seeing the evolution of Beyoncé as a person, a wife and a mother we really get to know all the different sides to this incredible artist.

Remember all that chit chat about Jay-Z and Solange elevator fight back in May.
Well Beyoncé surely gets the last laugh in her verse, "We escalate, up in this bitch like elevators / Of course sometimes shit go down / When it's a billion dollars on an elevator."

In the case you didn't hear her the first time she cunningly repeats the line. Then laughs it off but also including a "cha ching" sound effect to reiterate because she is after all flawless.
Favorite Verses
From Bey,
"These thots can't clock me nowadays
You wish I was your pound cake
Boy you know I look good as fuck
You wish I was your baby momma
And we could go around and get some good karma, but no
We escalate, up in this bitch like elevators
Of course sometimes shit go down
When it's a billion dollars on an elevator"
"I wake up looking this good
And I wouldn't change it if I could
And you can say what you want
I'm the shit"
From Nicki,
"Yo, like MJ doctor, they killing me
Propofol, I know they hope I fall
But tell 'em winning is my motherfuckin' protocol
'Cause I score before I ever throw the ball"
"The queen of rap, slayin' with Queen B
If you ain't on the team, you playin' for team D
'Cause we A-listers, we paid sisters"
Check out the lyrics for this amazing remix here.
This song was originally release as "Bow Down."
Though it was reworked for the album as a direct response for critics.
