Beyoncé considers this her love letter to Africa. She has recreated her version of the Lion King, and she shed light on Africa and culture while doing so. Such a beautiful and extraordinary project.
The "Otherside" video represents a mother losing her child. She places her child in the water and then picks the baby up again, saying "I see you again on the other side," meaning she will see her baby when she dies. It’s touching because Beyoncé has had miscarriages and lost her children.
No! In this song she talks about the story of Moses, from Egypt. He was left in a basket in the Nile River by his mother and was found by Pharaoh's daughter. Christianity was also born in Africa, so she portrayed the story. The "otherside" is this.
I believe Beyoncés mission is to highlight the beauty within the African/Black diaspora. Due to the history of colonialism certain aspects of the African/black culture was either lost or overshadowed. Not many will witness or acknowledge the beauty that the African culture holds. I L O V E that you’re acknowledging that you’re not all informed, No one is perfect and it’s okay to not be entirely informed or wrong. Never be afraid to ask questions! Watching the News is stressing-watch documentaries or movies relating to African or black culture.
This is my EVERYDAY go to album!! Especially dropping my baby girl to school in the mornings… This album was a masterpiece. THE BEST VISUALS she’s ever done!
The scene from the other side where she put the baby in the river is from “The Prince Of Egypt” an older animated movie that came out around the same time as lion king
This is a retelling of the Lion King if they were people not animals. So you hear the voices of Black people across the African continent speaking and singing in their native languages. That's why you didn't understand them sometimes. Beyonce and her team worked on incredibly hard on this. And when you think about the time line she was working on Homecoming, the gift album, BIK, i Cowboy Carter, Renaissance, Act 3, the visual movie for that, and her hair care line Cecred all at the same time! The songs from this album that deserve a listen are The Otherside and Bigger. Bigger has a separate video but Otherside does not. Beyonce cowrote all the songs she was on. Great reaction.
We love the fact that you took time out to learn about our culture in a sense. This is a part of what our journeys are and how our culture is from full African culture to African American culture. And you enjoying it is even more satisfying 💪🏾
OMG YES!!! I know that we will get the short reaction on UA-cam, but I love seeing people's reaction to this! It's more than "just music videos". Black is King makes me dance, smile and cry! And it taught me a lot about black history and culture ❤🐝
She did a documentary of the making of the this album called "Making The Gift" where she speaks on how this album came about and her journey of learning more about different African cultures and her family's roots. You should react to it. It also shows behind the scenes footage of her and her collaborators recording the music in the studio so we get to hear her raw vocals.
The girl in the yellow who sang keys to the kingdom is Tiwa Savage and she is sooo dope!!! It was so amazing for Bey' to have her on the album. She has a song with Brandy that you would loooove!!!!
Someone already mentioned the making of film, but watching her sit at the mic, take the melody from Hakuna Matata and play with it till it becomes Mood 4 Eva completely solidified her place in my musical pantheon.
I really loved this visual album. Find your way back, bigger, nile, key to the kingdom, and ja ra ja ra are my favorites. So well done! 😭❤️ shame you have to have that subscription to watch it! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
@@JessAnonymous It really is! Find your way back just takes me back to walking around my neighborhood and coming home before sun went down. Then i get shot to another planet doing the choreo from the mv. Too good 😭❤️
Beyoncé is the executive producer for this entire project. It showcases different African cultures. She also voices nala in the live action , if you didn’t know. Definitely watch the making of the gift !! Her mind is insane
Great reaction! I saw your reaction to the Lemonade album as well. While I can tell you don’t know a lot about Black History I feel like you do a good job catching a lot of the underlying meaning and themes. Some things you wouldn’t know unless you did a deep dive into Black History which we all know is lacking in our schools. Some themes Black people don’t catch for the same reason. I don’t believe that makes you racist, but that’s what open dialogue is for. Appreciate you sharing and being open to the convo.
I remember watching Black Is King like it came out last night 😭 This entire album was SO SO SO AMAZING!!! It was so spiritual. Ugh so good 😭 Then the visuals were chefs kisses. Beyonce has to be the most perfectly rated yet most underrated artist of our time. She doesnt get the props she deserves fr. Not trying to compare her to other artists, but its like Beyonce has to work a million times harder than everyone else to get the same accolades or results. Black is king was just *chefs kisses*
15:26 😫🤣 Now Audrey…girl that’s Pharrell Williams ( one of the most prolific music producers of our time)…we can’t put Pharrell’s good name in the same sentence as the Fyre Festival.😩 He’s also the creative director for Louis Vuitton men and his shows ( Louis Vuitton shows) are so fun…the music in them is great!
Love that you want to know more! It is a privilege to not *have* to know some things, but it’s beautiful that you want to. And I think that getting all of the layers of the music allows us to appreciate it more!
At this point every time I see Beyoncé’s name attached to something I just assume it’s gonna be the best thing I’ve ever experienced. Momma has yet to disappoint me.
I love your content I just wish you did more research on things before recording so you’d be more informed. This was made as Beyonces interpretation / soundtrack to the live action Lion King that came out a few years ago. She voiced Nala on that project. So the music is reflective of Lion King Theme but also Beyonce.
There is no need for her to do a bunch of research before putting out content. Most people (including you probably) do not research the background behind a work before consuming it. Consuming it is what encourages them to find out more.
I watch a lot of reactioners so I agree taking a look at what a project is about before reacting to it can be helpful, especially an album or film. While some reactions prefer for their reaction to be completely raw and uninfluenced, I can understand why you feel the way that you do. On the other side of things, I think that her dive down the rabbit hole of Beyonce's work has a lot to do with the fact that she IS so unfamiliar with not only her discography/filmography, but Black culture as a whole. We are watching her learn along the way. And while we know who some or all of these artists are, because we either grew up with them or they're a part of our culture, she doesn't share that same experience. I actually had no idea that she has Native American heritage until this video and I've been watching her channel for almost a year. I'm willing to bet she's going to review the comments and go back to rewatch this movie and then we'll have a bunch of new content from her because she'll want to listen to the other artists on this project.
Saint Jhn wrote Brown Skin Girl. And that's Pharrell, not Ja Rule lol Thank you for that message at the end. The most mature thing we can do is admit we don't know. I'm happy to know that you are interested to understand.
You are one gorgeous woman. Not to reduce you to your outward-facing aesthetics. I am not here for that. I am here for your expertise and your charisma! Do it mama!
Last thing that crosses my mind is that you are racist. I love how much love you show Beyoncé and how open you are to ask to be corrected as you acknowledge that you don’t know certain things. I’m loving going through your Beyoncé journey 🫶🏽 🐝
I don’t think you’re racist but you are in fact, tone deaf. You kept saying you don’t understand what they’re saying (neither do I) but if you know the story of Lion King then you know how the songs almost directly relate so it’s easy to grasp each concept in my opinion
Whomever said you were any level of racists definitely never saw your content before. They must have been absolutely up in their feelings and not LISTENING to what you say. People sometimes hear what they want to hear but don't bother to hear it in context. And maybe you don't know the details and get some guesses wrong, that's the whole point of making the channel of exploration for..to build a community of people to connect with, learn with, and have a good time. But anyways...I loved this project. I thought it was beautiful and very underrated. She did it for the culture and I feel like the culture let it down. I think maybe to be less over stimulated by both the visual and the soundtrack, that maybe you could have just listened to the soundtrack first. Get a feel for the style and the weight of the words. Or better yet, the making of the gift (soundtrack). That is beautifully done too. It gives you a total feel for the idea behind the project. She's so good at documentaries. This one and Homecoming are my top 2 faves. The movie Black is King is basically a retelling of the Lion King but with an all black cast and cultured African elements in it. I think it was very helpful that Disney let her add snippets of dialogue from the live action movie to present the storytelling that followed next. I think the costuming and styling is Award worthy and stunning. Beyonce has different roles in it. When she's all in white or all gold, she is the African Goddess Oshun who is a protector of children and helps with fertility. SIDE NOTE: The captured enslaved Africans were stripped of their different languages and religious beliefs...which included deities. Forced to speak english and follow only christianity as their religion...and a lot of slave owners altered what was said to make the enslaved believe they had to do what their owners said or else they'd go to hell. SIDE NOTE END But I digress. In the song ALREADY, she sits on top of a horse with a horn like headpiece, you can find ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics like that, but historians and text books wouldn't call them demonic, yet if they see it on a black person demonstrating the entities of their culture then it's demonic. When Bey is in the Teal outfit she was the Goddess Yemaye (Goddess of Water). I loved the creative way they made the ground look like it was a still stream of water she was walking on. In the song, OTHERSIDE, she is doing a scene from the bible of baby moses being put in a basket and set down stream. I personally believe it is a song for the child Bey miscarried some years back, to say that she will someday see that child again. When Bey came to the quiet rivers of heaven, with all the little children in face paint and white clothes...she appeared all in white as the Goddess Oshun receiving the child in heaven. (The scene when the baby basket flips under water and a grown Simba surfaces scene) Simba was a child, who became a man who did his job, and was blessed by a Rafeeke character and sent to heaven where he found his father (Mufassa) and was welcomed proudly by him. James Earl Jones plays the voice of Mufassa in both the animated and live action versions. He is also the voice of Darth Vadder. I wish that he could be the person to do my eulogy when it's my time. I LOVE HIS VOICE💜💜 I tell people who talk bad about his voice to put some respect on DARTH MUFASSA!!!😅 The second guy singing with Bey in the song WATER is Pharrell Williams. She used barely any American black artists, choosing to shine more light on other Afrobeats genre singers, who were well known in their parts of the African diaspora. In BROWN SKIN GIRL, she added in the beauty of a darked skinned debutante from India (South Asian), for representation of some of the women there who get less appreciation because of their darker complexion. I know its asking for a lot, but could you please react to The Making of The Gift? The song she was singing during the rolling credits was her song called Black Parade. MY POWER is the scene where Simba comes home to fight Scar and the rest of the pride gather to do combat and have his back. The song is such an anthem about never letting other people steal your self worth, dignity and inner strength as a woman...as a black woman. It seems to be the social media trendy these days to bash us, meanwhile we seem to get expected to do the most for every and anybody else, and should expect no respect in return. Sadly, a lot of that toxic mentality is coming from our male counterparts. When Beyonce added the snippet of Malcolm X's speech about Black women being the most disrepected and unprotected, in her Lemonade album....how hauntingly more true that is today... I loved that at the end of the movie, you see her hugging and dancing with her son, and it read "I dedicate this movie to my son, Sir". *Paraphrasing. All she was trying to do was give us a powerful visual of seeing us enriched and rich in our lives and culture. As she said, basically that if you can see it, you can imagine it for yourself and make it a reality. American society has so much influence from black culture, but so many of us don't know that, because the American history books only go as much as "We were slaves". That's also one of the reasons for her Cowboy Carter albums. She researched and used examples of facts to put her album together. I say this to any and everyone...Know who you are, before someone else tells you. They may not tell it all or even truthfully, if they even know. Knowledge is power...NEVER LET OTHERS TAKE YOURS.
I don’t know for sure if you are racist but I hope not I think those people have valid opinions because a lot of time there are culture differences and most yt people don’t really care to learn about. It shouldn’t be the job of black people toceducate yt people on these things yes music can be enjoyed by everyone however there is still a gap in the understanding and respect when it comes to black artist do to yt people not caring to educate themselves.
I would like to see you react to the Kpop group ATEEZ, in particular their main singer Jongho. He sings beautiful ballads and has quite a few releases on his own, like "Everything" and he was on the show Immortal Songs and sang "So You" so beautifully I cried. One of my favs is the song "Love Poem" on the show KINGDOM, I've cried many times.
#GabrielHenrique 🇧🇷 thank you for the content provided! I recommend the talented Gabriel Henrique. In his voice STAND UP whit coral black to black. You can be sure, he is different #GabrielHenrique
Hi! Love your videos and I hope you to continue to spread joy with them. However, I think as a grownup person, you do yourself and your platform a disservice by choosing ignorance over information. You don’t need to know everything, but confidentiality admitting that you don’t know Black history besides slavery was disheartening to hear. With this video and many others, you’re profiting off of Black history and ignoring it at the same time. Hope this comment sparks a bit of introspection and encourages you to learn more about us. 🖤

You have to watch The Making of The Gift to fully understand the entire film. It’s sooo good!
This album is really personal to me as a Nigerian and there's a lot of Nigerian artists and music here. Love it.

@@andreamorim1144Both of you are correct
Blue Ivy won a Grammy for writing credits on Brown Skin Girl 🤭✨
This was after lemonade, you can tell by how old blue is and Beyoncé is visibly older too. The storyline is lion king.
The chick in the yellow is Tiwa Savage. She is one of Nigeria's biggest Singer/Songwriter.

All this music, the culture, the outfits, the people. It's all so beautiful. This video is beautiful. I need to watch this
That's Tiwa Savage in Keys to the kingdom. She's basically Nigeria's Beyoncé. Check out her song Somebody's Son with Brandy.
I love that song ❤ now I must go listen lol
By far my favorite song
As an adult black woman, I heard brown skin girl and I cried.
The scene from the other side where she put the baby in the river is from “The Prince Of Egypt” an older animated movie that came out around the same time as lion king
I love Beyonce
As simple as that ❤️
You are a blessing to us and I am black.
You bring joy with just your channel.
I appreciate your vulnerability.
As an African American, and an ally to all, I concur!
I appreciate that
So so so beautiful to hear a little about your Native heritage!!! ♥️🙏 thank you for reacting to more Bey! The Hive loves you! 🎉

She played Nala in the live action of the lion king, so this has correlation to that.
Black is king is beyonces take on The Lion king. Disney gave her free rein to do whatever she wanted.
“Chick in the yellow” is Tiwa Savage.
Glad you caught the vocals on otherside almost nobody ever catches it. to this day I believe that she was partially singing about her miscarriage.
15:26 😫🤣 Now Audrey…girl that’s Pharrell Williams ( one of the most prolific music producers of our time)…we can’t put Pharrell’s good name in the same sentence as the Fyre Festival.😩 He’s also the creative director for Louis Vuitton men and his shows ( Louis Vuitton shows) are so fun…the music in them is great!

18:30 that’s Tiwa Savage she’s a pretty big Nigerian artist!
Definitely wish Disney had made an African fantasy film (with humans) using this soundtrack. It's so underrated.
Tiwa Savage was the beauty in the Yello.
19:04 the chick you wanted to know who she was is Tiwa Savage and she has some great songs you should react to her .
Seeing you watch this and listening to your commentary...was special. Thank you for being you X3

I forgot how much i danced to BIK. 😊😂
Using "CREEPY" to describe this love letter to The Continent of Africa, early on,, is on brand.
Got better along the way, a bit. ;)
@18:30 that's Tiwa Savage. Oh please get lost in her work! She's amazing! 🔥🔥🔥 Do her Tiny Desk!
Mood 4 Eva is definitely Hakuna Matata!
Love you and thanks for reacting to some awesome music and show love to these artist!
You are one gorgeous woman. Not to reduce you to your outward-facing aesthetics. I am not here for that. I am here for your expertise and your charisma! Do it mama!
Now you need to watch the making of the gift
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS REACTION, APPRECIATE YOU
In Mood Forever, some of the known people are her mom Tina Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Blue Ivy
this is my favvvv beyonceee project
Why does date of the release keep pushing back? Last time I checked it was in 10 days and now it’s 25 day.😭🤔
Now i wanna go listen to the full album
This is Tiwa!!!! And yes brown skin girl is an original song.
The features in no particular order were Jesse Reyes, Kendrick Lamar, Tiwa Savage pharrell, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Childish Gambino, and I forgot a few.
Black is king is kinda that a retelling of Lion King
This was a few years after lemonade also the narator played mufasa in the original
Just watching and hearing you makes me happy, especially you talking about the Queen!💜🫶
They wear the purple and golden in the acapella for Kobe Bryant because that’s when. Him and his daughter passed
Last thing that crosses my mind is that you are racist. I love how much love you show Beyoncé and how open you are to ask to be corrected as you acknowledge that you don’t know certain things. I’m loving going through your Beyoncé journey 🫶🏽 🐝
I love your reaction when u saw Yemi Alade
Loved this video! Thanks ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Beyoncé featured mostly African artists in this album.
And she did write Brown skin Girl 😍
This came after lemonade and then she decided to deprive us from the visuals FOREVER 😭😭😭😭
James Earl Jones, btw 🤣
Why’d you push back the release date to another 2 weeks
YOU PUSHED BACK ANOTHER WEEK ON TOP OF THE 2 WEEKS???
@@aquariusbowie6104right I was looking forward to this one the most too
Month later woo finally here
I don’t think you’re racist but you are in fact, tone deaf. You kept saying you don’t understand what they’re saying (neither do I) but if you know the story of Lion King then you know how the songs almost directly relate so it’s easy to grasp each concept in my opinion
You have to react to her self titled album omggg
The baby in the basket was a biblical reference
you're amazing and your vids are too!
Please react to RAYE. 😊
My 21st Century Symphony Live At The Royal Albert Hall
Yall are welcome I have literally harassed her to do this in comments on here and Patreon lol
The lady in yellow is (tiwa savage)
When people say this isn’t lion king, do they expect Beyoncé to sound like a lion?😭
Whomever said you were any level of racists definitely never saw your content before. They must have been absolutely up in their feelings and not LISTENING to what you say.
People sometimes hear what they want to hear but don't bother to hear it in context. And maybe you don't know the details and get some guesses wrong, that's the whole point of making the channel of exploration for..to build a community of people to connect with, learn with, and have a good time.
But anyways...I loved this project. I thought it was beautiful and very underrated. She did it for the culture and I feel like the culture let it down.
I think maybe to be less over stimulated by both the visual and the soundtrack, that maybe you could have just listened to the soundtrack first. Get a feel for the style and the weight of the words.
Or better yet, the making of the gift (soundtrack). That is beautifully done too.
It gives you a total feel for the idea behind the project. She's so good at documentaries. This one and Homecoming are my top 2 faves.
The movie Black is King is basically a retelling of the Lion King but with an all black cast and cultured African elements in it. I think it was very helpful that Disney let her add snippets of dialogue from the live action movie to present the storytelling that followed next.
I think the costuming and styling is Award worthy and stunning.
Beyonce has different roles in it. When she's all in white or all gold, she is the African Goddess Oshun who is a protector of children and helps with fertility.
SIDE NOTE: The captured enslaved Africans were stripped of their different languages and religious beliefs...which included deities. Forced to speak english and follow only christianity as their religion...and a lot of slave owners altered what was said to make the enslaved believe they had to do what their owners said or else they'd go to hell.
SIDE NOTE END
But I digress. In the song ALREADY, she sits on top of a horse with a horn like headpiece, you can find ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics like that, but historians and text books wouldn't call them demonic, yet if they see it on a black person demonstrating the entities of their culture then it's demonic.
When Bey is in the Teal outfit she was the Goddess Yemaye (Goddess of Water).
I loved the creative way they made the ground look like it was a still stream of water she was walking on.
In the song, OTHERSIDE, she is doing a scene from the bible of baby moses being put in a basket and set down stream.
I personally believe it is a song for the child Bey miscarried some years back, to say that she will someday see that child again.
When Bey came to the quiet rivers of heaven, with all the little children in face paint and white clothes...she appeared all in white as the Goddess Oshun receiving the child in heaven.
(The scene when the baby basket flips under water and a grown Simba surfaces scene)
Simba was a child, who became a man who did his job, and was blessed by a Rafeeke character and sent to heaven where he found his father (Mufassa) and was welcomed proudly by him.
James Earl Jones plays the voice of Mufassa in both the animated and live action versions.
He is also the voice of Darth Vadder. I wish that he could be the person to do my eulogy when it's my time. I LOVE HIS VOICE💜💜
I tell people who talk bad about his voice to put some respect on DARTH MUFASSA!!!😅
The second guy singing with Bey in the song WATER is Pharrell Williams.
She used barely any American black artists, choosing to shine more light on other Afrobeats genre singers, who were well known in their parts of the African diaspora.
In BROWN SKIN GIRL, she added in the beauty of a darked skinned debutante from India (South Asian), for representation of some of the women there who get less appreciation because of their darker complexion.
I know its asking for a lot, but could you please react to The Making of The Gift?
The song she was singing during the rolling credits was her song called Black Parade.
MY POWER is the scene where Simba comes home to fight Scar and the rest of the pride gather to do combat and have his back.
The song is such an anthem about never letting other people steal your self worth, dignity and inner strength as a woman...as a black woman.
It seems to be the social media trendy these days to bash us, meanwhile we seem to get expected to do the most for every and anybody else, and should expect no respect in return.
Sadly, a lot of that toxic mentality is coming from our male counterparts.
When Beyonce added the snippet of Malcolm X's speech about Black women being the most disrepected and unprotected, in her Lemonade album....how hauntingly more true that is today...
I loved that at the end of the movie, you see her hugging and dancing with her son, and it read "I dedicate this movie to my son, Sir". *Paraphrasing.
All she was trying to do was give us a powerful visual of seeing us enriched and rich in our lives and culture. As she said, basically that if you can see it, you can imagine it for yourself and make it a reality.
American society has so much influence from black culture, but so many of us don't know that, because the American history books only go as much as "We were slaves". That's also one of the reasons for her Cowboy Carter albums. She researched and used examples of facts to put her album together.
I say this to any and everyone...Know who you are, before someone else tells you.
They may not tell it all or even truthfully, if they even know.
Knowledge is power...NEVER LET OTHERS TAKE YOURS.
I don’t know for sure if you are racist but I hope not I think those people have valid opinions because a lot of time there are culture differences and most yt people don’t really care to learn about. It shouldn’t be the job of black people toceducate yt people on these things yes music can be enjoyed by everyone however there is still a gap in the understanding and respect when it comes to black artist do to yt people not caring to educate themselves.
Finally ❤
When are you going to tangle the series songs it has eden espinoza, jermy jordon, mandy moore its so good
I would like to see you react to the Kpop group ATEEZ, in particular their main singer Jongho. He sings beautiful ballads and has quite a few releases on his own, like "Everything" and he was on the show Immortal Songs and sang "So You" so beautifully I cried. One of my favs is the song "Love Poem" on the show KINGDOM, I've cried many times.

Hi! Love your videos and I hope you to continue to spread joy with them. However, I think as a grownup person, you do yourself and your platform a disservice by choosing ignorance over information. You don’t need to know everything, but confidentiality admitting that you don’t know Black history besides slavery was disheartening to hear. With this video and many others, you’re profiting off of Black history and ignoring it at the same time. Hope this comment sparks a bit of introspection and encourages you to learn more about us. 🖤
