Butta: OK, D-Money, let’s get in formation! Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

D-Money: Really, Butta? *gives gas face*

Butta: *insert five laughing/crying emojis here* Yes, five! LOL

D-Money: So, your girl Beyoncé is back at it again. Sneaking around and dropping records and making her BeyHive buzz and whatnot.

Butta: Not just any record, though. The first Black National Trap Anthem!

D-Money: ...or something like that, I guess.

Butta: I mean, what else would you call it? Conscious Trap? Hotep Trap? Trap-Tep?

D-Money: Ratchet & Bey

Butta: YES! BEYONCÉ IS HER OWN GENRE!!!

D-Money: Yeah, she kinda is. And I say that as grudgingly as possible.

Butta: I said she’s her own genre with my tongue planted firmly in cheek, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t true. I mean…

D-Money: At this point, she’s her own religion. “Bow Down” for real. But I have to admit, she (and by she, I mean whoever actually wrote this song) is saying some things I never thought I’d hear Bey say on wax.

Butta: It’s co-written by Beyoncé and Swae Lee…of Rae Sremmurd fame.

D-Money: *insert blank stare emoji*

Butta: I had to crank that Google right quick.

D-Money: Actually that explains sooooo much, like why it’s less a song a more a free flow stream of ratchet-ass consciousness...and why my inner hoodrat is intrigued.
