New Music from Beyonce and JayZ when we need it the most “SHINING” MUSIC REVIEW

On February 12, 2017 the Beyhive and Beyonce were all shook when once again for the third time she was snubbed for Album of the year at the Grammy’s. ( THAT’S ANOTHER BLOG) but after the Grammys once again told Beyonce she was not good enough a new song entitled “SHINING” was released which features Beyonce, JayZ, and producer DJ Khaled with his infamous WE THE BEST quotes.

The album cover features an adorable picture of DJ Khaled’s son Asahd who Khaled states is the executive producer of the song. Now I do not know about yall, but I do not know how an infant is considered an executive producer. I wonder did DJ Khaled just let little Asahd just push some buttons in the studio. SHINING is the first single off of DJ Khaled’s 10th studio album entitled “GRATEFUL” . So the song is DJ Khaled featuring Beyonce and JayZ but how is it not them featuring him and they are the vocals on 98 percent of the song.

The content of the song highlights that through it all Beyonce is still SHINING and winning. She sings about being in the game since 1997 and the fact that no one can hold me back which brings attention to Beyonce being the type of woman you can not predict and can not contain. She also sings about how money does not make her happy with the hint of living and loving life being her true source of happiness.

JayZ raps about the twins and how he desires a son. He also brags about his well deserved 21 Grammys.

Overall the song is upbeat and I’m here for it. It’s just what we needed to lift our spirits after the Grammys and their bullcrap voting once again screwed Beyonce over. Check out the song below.

[Verse 3: Jay Z]
One ain’t enough, I need two
That night I mix the Ace with the D’US’
Hit a triple-double in the Garden
I dunk my left wrist like I’m Harden (swish)

Ran to the dealer, bought twin Mercedes’
The European trucks for the twin babies

Don’t let me have a son, I’m a fool (ooooh)
Send him to school in all my jewels

I want a boy and girl, I fight for truth
Whatever God give me, I’m cool
I’ve been winnin’ so long it’s like alchemy
I’ve been playin’ cards with the house money
21 Grammys, I’m a savage nigga
21 Grammys, I’m a savage nigga

I shouldn’t even worry ’bout wack niggas
12 solo albums, all Platinum, nigga
I know you ain’t out here talkin’ numbers, right?
I know you ain’t out here talkin’ Summers, right?

I know you ain’t walkin’ ’round talkin’ down
Sayin’ boss shit when you a runner, right?

Plain Patek, been had it
Flooded when I got it from Khaled

That was just a thank you for his last year
Next year he gon’ have to buy a palace, shinin’

[Chorus: Beyoncé & DJ Khaled]
Shinin’, shinin’, shinin’, shinin’, yeah (Shinin’, yeah)
All of this winnin’, I’ve been losin’ my mind (Losin’ my mind)
Oh, hold on, hold on, baby
Don’t (don’t) try to (try to)
Slow me down (down)
Don’t (don’t) try to (try to)
Slow me down
Slow me down, yeah

[Outro: Osunlade & Beyoncé]
Just because you say
Things are gonna change
Things are gonna change
Things are gonna change
All of this money
Slow me down

-ing something’s wrong
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
All of this money, yeah
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
Isn’t good enough
