I'm whippin that work, he diggin that work. I got it, 36 of that real. Panky full of this bounce baby. Come and get you some of this bounce baby. -Beyonce
Just when I thought they were finished, Nicki Minaj and Beyonce' gave me a visual to Nicki Minaj's track titled ,"Feeling Myself," and contrary to some of the negative comments I've been hearing; about the video being exclusively released via Tidal and the ladies not challenging themselves creatively; I am feeling it! Like, you can catch me on the sideline yelling, "Go Bey, Go Oh-Ni-Kuhh slay" and "Girl Power," while taking cute selfies to send to bae.
Everything about it is about control. You want to support your husband's new venture, promote your Pinkprint album on Tidal, show off your sexy with another female artist who is at the top of her game, receive the highest percentage of royalties for your work, have control of you sexuality AND be fleekily silly while doing it? You would create this video.
Since March, Jay Z, has been hitting the boards hard with a mass-marketing campaign to relaunch Tidal. First, he he held a press conference introducing 16 major music artists on the stage, then proceeded to cross-over via social media, having artists change their profile pictures the color blue; and further driving it down in the paint, back in April, by challenging Tidal subscribers to impress him with their Tidal playlists to score tickets to the exclusive "Tidal X - Jay Z B - Sides" concerts that took place in New York this past weekend. To dishing off an alley oop to Nicki Minaj and Beyonce by making the full "Feeling Myself " video accessible only to Tidal subscribers. And they slammed dunked it! I'm sure it got them a couple hundred thousand Barbies and Bees to become free trial subscribers who will eventually turn into paying fans of exclusivity. (They definitely just got me)
Tease yourself with this short and go ahead and shamelessly download the Tidal app to your phone. Don't worry you'll have the chance to enjoy the video free of charge for 30 days. Feel it and enjoy another digital drop.
