Beyonce - Deja VU - that´s funky!

Sorry, if there was already a thread on this song, but I just wanted to say that I am just crazy about this song! It´s the best stuff done recently. I love it. Go Beyonce! If the rest of the album is gonna be like this, I am definately getting it.

Yea. I like it too, but as far as Funk and "best thing around" goes....nah

I dig it. I doubt I'll buy it though.

I like the song. I could do without all that catterwallin' from Beyonce.

this song is really growing on me. i like it! it's very catchy.

The horns add so much to the song...

I'm not a huge fan or anything,but I gotta admit,this song isn't half bad.The best thing is...it's FAST! Most R&B songs these days are slow or midtempo,like Janet's new boring single."Deja Vu" has a strong,catchy chorus too.

It's good. The only thing that turns me off about the song is her, the jiggly b*tch.

Look at the original person's avatar....OF COURSE YOU LIKE BEYONCE AND THIS SONG!!! This song sucks donkey cock. Her singing is VERY overrated. A+++ for her ass though. She should become a stripper.

Totally love it.

yeah, I like that bassline. The only thing I could do without is Jigga's raps. I don't mind the "Bee's about to sting, stand back!" part, but the rap at the end drags the song down, imo.
Sounds like this song is more about voodoo than "deja vu." whatever, there's real bass and horns. I dig.

I love this song.

Love the video.

And I confess, a lot of the charm for me is the chemistry with Beyonce and Jay-z musically.

All his raps HIT on their collabos. Love them!

P.S. Can't wait for Ring the Alarm

I like the song. It's only the video that gives me a headache

Funky?!?!
What the hell have you been smokin', buddy? This song is so goddamn horrible it makes me want to kill myself

2 each it's own , but the bass-guitar is def cool .
It adds the funk to the jam .
I guess there is the urge that it has to relate to P-Funk or a JB-groove , which actually limits oneself to look beyond that .
I've learned that from a line that Larry Blackmon ( Cameo ) once told .
He said : "Country-singer Kenny Rogers has a funky approach of singing"
It all is a matter of taste in the end , but who ever defined a rule of what is supposed to be funky or not ?

Structurally, its a good song. Great bass line, uptempo, nice horns, it has a CHANGE in it (OMFG), which is unheard of these days and overall it has all of the elements of a good song. Unfortunately, in this instance I think Bey's frantic vocals on the chorus that hurt it. I like Beyonce but this track sounds like she really rushed it in the studio.

co-sign

I dig the intro of the video though .
That's where it builds up cool with the infectious bassline on the roll .
The tension there is great imo , along with the spherish shadow-lightning .
The choreography that follows is indeed a big miss .

I know what you mean. I definately do know a lot funkier tracks, but considering other latest releases and the music that airs on MTV, this track ROCKS! Nowadays most songs seem to me to be about 30% good - too plain, repetitive and artificial with no emotions. And as for this song I´d rate it 70%. I just love the bass line, the horns and the verses singing. The chorus is a bit too repetitive and I wouldn´t mind if the rap was missing as well. But as I said, for me, out of those recent "hits" this one is THE BEST!

I hate her stupid asswiggling antics it's gettin tired

Sorry I 've got to say this song is luke warm to me. And I'll add two things 1st I'm not a Beyonce fan, 2nd I've been spoiled in terms of the Jaz collabo's. Tha 1st one "Girlfriend" was Cool I thk cause it was tha 1st time seeing them together and the song was preety cool. But when they came out with "Crazy" and it has those I think Eddie kendrick "keep on truckin " horn sample that was OFF THA CHAIN. So when I here Deja Vu its like putting on a ACT to Follow MJ or Prince ur like OK II'm ready to go home now.

Damn! It'a alot of Beyonce haters up in here . I like her and the song-stop hatin' .

I hate her overcommercialized emotionless 'music'

And her showing off ; always shaking her ass
