The Issue of Racial Discrimination in Beyoncé's Song "Formation"

Beyoncé is an African-American pop star and iconic musician internationally. She is a belief system. One of the hit songs of Beyoncé includes "formation. " In her most recent album, Beyoncé manages to exemplify flawlessness as well as vulnerability. This black woman (Beyoncé) is an artist who makes black art for black women fraternity. She creates artistic tracks that depict some mainstreams of wisdom visually and sonically. "Formation," one of the prominent tracks demonstrates a great deal of reality. Formation's production perfectly and closely incorporates every of Bey's lyrics.

The track “formation” by Beyoncé is uniquely structured and composed. For instance, the unnerving synth illustrates every phrase snap in the stanzas, “I like my Negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils” and “I like my baby’s hair with baby hair and an Afro. ” Therefore, the synth marks the pieces as well as the bits of the track referring to when evaluating the Beyoncé canon in entirety. Just like the low echoing siren, does not clearly crests to complete blare, “formation” track bounces under the surface. The effect comes over again when Beyoncé refrains the first verse, "My daddy Alabama/ Momma Louisiana" to ensure that the audience considers the song’s content.

The track "formation" does not feel like a fluke. However, it utilizes Bye's most trend-forward and instrumentally-dense productions. The production of the song thus has a strong influence on the trap of Beyoncé's native Houston. To understand the nature of Beyoncé's production nature, consider "Flawless. " This piece of track is a spine-tingling centerpiece in the album. The piece serves the same objectives with the "Formation" since they speak directly to the female audience. Beyoncé centers her "formation" production alongside these female listeners.

“Formation” extrapolates the nature of “Flawless” narrative thread. As a result, the track encompasses a truer nature of Beyoncé as an artist. In this track, Beyoncé comes out clearly by referencing her “negro nose, blue’s baby hair as well as Afro. ” Additionally, she references the Illuminati along with the outright gaming power. Ultimately, she expresses her victory over the capitalism oppressions. According to capitalists, an individual thinks about him/herself only. However, in this piece, Beyoncé says, "I might get your song played on the radio station. " Unlike capitalists, Beyoncé capitalizes her efforts and power to ensure the success of other artists. However, later in the song, she says "I go hard, Take what's mine because I slay. " The song "Formation" by Beyoncé follows one of the common singular and essential tenets of Bey-losophy. For Beyoncé and her audience, the unapologetic embracement of singularity and the power of once influences name-making, livelihood as well as legacy. Beyoncé’s song “Formation” presents a powerful message in the course of Black History Month. The song displays Beyoncé’s stand against police brutality. Among the Black Communities in the United States of America, police brutality is commonly experienced. In this song, Beyoncé is joining hands with other Black popular artists to speak against the racism police tactic of perpetrating brutality among the blacks and other unfair actions. Conspicuously, Beyoncé goes on record to fill her “Formation” video with images such as graffiti that reads “Stop Shooting Us. ” In the video, the New Orleans Police Car is sunk into the water to make people understand that she is against police brutality.

Critically viewing the video posted by Knowles-Carter, the opening images and the opening verses of Beyoncé, it is clear that the Government has assumed the New Orleans city during the Katrina hurricane. The initial words of Beyoncé are "What happened at the New Orleans?" imperatively, the question has some validity because the opening images depict the city being engulfed by water following the fatal effects of the Katrina hurricane. The government never gave the attention needed to the city since its occupants are a majorly black community.

In conclusion, the song "Formation" essentially addresses racial discrimination in the American society, especially in cities like New Orleans which is inhabited by black people. As a result, Beyoncé's content revolves around black people and the black society in the American land. Specifically, the song dives deep into the black community concerns such as police brutality and governmental discrimination in times of natural calamities. Beyoncé's song "Formation" presents a powerful message in the course of Black History Month. The timing of the video's release was timely since it coincided with the Black History Month. The video is literally an ode to black culture. However, Beyoncé makes no retreat for that. The track “formation” by Beyoncé is uniquely structured and composed.
