Crazy in Love with Beyonce

BeyonceGothamist can't help - Beyonce's Crazy in Love with Jay-Z is crazy addictive. The amazing horn loop, the layering of many Beyonces, Jay-Z rapping "pocket is fat like Tony, Soprano," lyrics like: "Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's/ Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)/ Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch/ Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)/ Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss/ Got me hoping you'll save me right now/ Looking so crazy in love's,/ Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love."

No wonder "Crazy in Love" is the first track on Beyonce's debut album, Dangerously in Love. Gothamist doesn't know about the rest of the album, and we're actually not that interested yet, but a Top 40 song we don't mind hearing played all the time isn't a bad find.

Hear the song at Beyonce's site.

    Like TOK says

    "When your'e makin money people hate on u they wanna c u flop...."

    Da only reason y im commenting is because I think its quite sad that people waste the precious time that God has blessed us with slaggin other people off.

    Beyonce is a wonderful artist and performer and thats all that should be spoken or commented about. Her love life, image and hair has nothing to do with us. She has the right to wear blonde weave, even purple weave if she wanted to, and no1 should have anything to say about it unless asked. I honestly believe that eveyone on this site who have written a whole paragraph putting her down have nothing to do with their lives, and its an absalute SHAME how black people cannot & will not stick together! Why can't you stop seein your people faults/putting them down and appreciate their talents, and celebrate their success. Ironically when others put us as a race and as a people down, we always have something to say, but truly what example are we setting them? What message are we sending out? I don't do weave but I do sing, and I can honestly say that Beyonce has a beautiful voice that has developed over the years. Her riffs and adalibs are great and she makes good use of her wide range. Keep doin what you're doin girl. People wil aways hate, just shake 'em off!

    well , I like Beyonce but I think that she gets way too much credit nowdays.If she had started solo back in the days when the late Aaliyah,Brandy,Monica were popular , I don't think that she'd beed this famous.Cuz she's not real.She has never said anything smart,and believe me I've seen a lot of interviews.She semms to be told what to say everytime she opens her mouth.Everything she is today,she stole from others.The hair is sooo Mariah,the make-up Tyras, the bootyshakin straight up J.Lo!On vacation pictures she's an average Joe.She needs at least 7 hours of getting ready-time to look pretty (includding wigs,body make-up and face make-up).Yes she has a powefull voice, but she seems very insecure and just needs to show off everywhere.I mean come on, how the hell can she be a L'Oreal hair model??She wears them wigs all the time.And the only african-american woman that had real natural long hair was the late Aaliyah.And u that said that Beyonce is not mixed....oh well I'm speachless.One picture says a 1000 words hun!Now u take a look at her when she's on vacation with Jay Z and u tell me what u see...And yes she's makin very much money on fakin but Mariah,Tyra,J.Lo and Tina Turner should get some of it.Or she could at least thank them for makin her who she is...

  • Destiny's fan

    In response to the haters and to stephanie who said beyonces hair is short, check the facts and think again:

    You guys need to chill with the hatin’. Beyonce wears weaves and wigs, SO WHAT! Big deal!

    As numerous other people have said, so do other celebrities like Britney, Christina, Christina Milian, Jlo, etc etc. It’s simply because the job she does requires her to look her best every single day. And you all know that no body's hair can stay looking perfect every day especially when it’s stressed constantly by blow drying, hot combing, dyeing, etc. Beyonce has naturally long hair. Proof can be found from childhood pictures, old tapes of the girls practising as teenagers, and on the front cover of the debut DC album with the original girls, as well as the group's very early videos.

    Infact the very unique thing about destiny's child when they first debuted was their natural hair:

    -Beyonce had long hair about 2 inches beyond her shoulders, she had black hair with brown high-lights and often a few bleach blond streaks. She often wore extensions at the back of her head to enhance length and thickness

    -Kelly started out with thick shoulder-length relaxed hair (this can be observed in early practise tapes of the girls aged about 15) she then had her hair cut in a boyishly feminine hairstyle, probably to differentiate herself from the rest of the group and give some individuality.

    -Letoya Had beautiful, long, shiny, healthy hair that fell about 3 inches beyond her shoulders it was thick and black, with a fringe that she had from a very early age. (Observed from old tapes and photos) Throughout her career in destiny's child Letoya maintained her long layered hair with fringe, she later dyed her hair a light brown with soft golden high lights. She often added extensions to preserve the style and keep her hair from breaking.

    -Latavia, the groups red head, had beautiful thick red-dyed, relaxed, shoulder-length tresses. She used to model for hair relaxers as a child, evidence that she has naturally good hair anyway! Her hair was styled in a flip or side parting through most of her career in destiny's Child; she often wore long extensions in the back of her head to enhance the length and thickness. She also occasionally wore her hair naturally curly, for example in the 'bills' video in the zebra outfits and 'Buga boo' video. Latavia quite possibly had the most strong and healthy hair in the group.

    -Farah, one of the replacements of the original members in 2000 had beautiful relaxed hair about an inch past her shoulders, dyed a red colour by demand of Tina Knowles (Beyoncé’s mother), in an attempt to maintain the red head element the group had with Latavia. Farah said her hair used to be sandy brown with blond streaks but was advised to have it dyed to maintain the image of the group by the group’s stylist. For the five months Farah was in the group her hair appeared healthy and natural. She may have been the only member in the history of destiny’s child that never once used extensions.

    -Michelle, the other of the group’s replacements and founding member started in the group with long thick black healthy her about 3 inches past her shoulders. Her hair was mostly styled in a flip or side parting. Michelle, for a while, sported purple streaks in her hair. As the group turned to a three piece and they became more successful, along came the extensions. Michelle’s hair become increasingly longer with the help of extensions inserted at the back of her head to add length and thickness.

    As the years passed Beyoncé’s hair was breaking and she wanted to preserve it so she wore braids for about 2-3 years from the 'buga boo' video in '99 till 'emotions' in '01. She then began using conventional weaves until about 2002 when she discovered satin front wigs, which when styled similar to her original styles would appear to be her real hair. But smart people like me weren’t fooled. We first got a glance of these realistic wigs in the Goldmember film she did in '02, from then onwards Beyoncé stuck by her wigs till today. I don’t blame her. They have a natural hairline, they can be touched and teased in the same way real hair can and they can be styled to look natural. The only thing that Beyoncé got wrong was wearing weave in the L’Oreal ads- that was deceitful! But it goes to prove that Beyoncé had long hair and still has but is protecting it from the dizzy heights of celebrity stardom.

    To the person who wished death on Beyonce' your on the wrong site( your looking for the future killers and most hateful haters web site).The amount of cruelty in your wording is repulsive!How could you honestly find it fit to wish death on someone? Seriously ? I'm not ragging on you or trying to start anything but hell,that's cold!The devil himself probably has prepared you a spot right next to him ,cause that's devilish.Besides that I have to say hey,we know the girl isn't perfect but it's her image.The same way you make a living she makes hers.Her songs are beautiful ,she reflects abeautiful young lady and ....GAD DAMN that braod can carry a note! She's ok give her a chance .How many 22-yera olders do you know who's making 55+ Mill per year? Not you .Not me.

  • Stephanie

    I just wanted to say that Beyonce's hair is indeed a weave. Beyonce's real hair is short ( a little passed her ears) and relaxed with blonde highlights that match her weave. We Black people know that it's not her hair because no black people with relaxed hair and highlights can have hair that long. Black people's hair is weaker then white people's, so with all those harsh chemials to straighten and highlight her hair would break off. And no I don't hate on Beyonce I love her music, and I think she's a very beautiful woman, I just wanna set the record straight on the hair thing.

  • Janelle

    i just wanted to say that to all the boys and girls that think beyonce's hair is real, well yall are wrong think again, she has long hair no doubt but that blonde shit is not hers, i mean come on now, AINT NO AFRICAN AMERICAN IS BORN WIT BLONDE HAIR, unless their albino, but beyonce is not an albino she is a yellow bone, but anyway back to what i was saying beyonce wears tracks, wigs, and she wears micro braids, i mean if you black and you think thats her real hair then you must not be as black as you really think you are, beyonce has long enough hair i mean she is famous why cant she just wear her real hair and stop trying to fool people? i mean just becuz her hair was long when she was a child lots of things could happen between then and now, but i know she still has long hair but that blonde shit is not her real hair, shes pretty no doubt about that, but she thinks shes all that, but shes really not, and this is coming from a black girls mouf!

  • PAULINE

  • truth teller boy

    I think we tend to over rate all famous people. when told something long engouh; we believe it. Take famous Indian actress Aishwarya Rai for example. Most Indians would claim her to be the most beautiful woman ever, but you don't see the rest of the world saying it. some of us even think she is ugly. i personally think she is beauyiful from some pictures. but i have to see her in person to know what she really looks like. i don't believe in "images". which are airbrush so much that any person would look stunngly beautiful. But if you see them face to face, you will know if they are just plain or cute or pretty or beautiful or gorgious. back to my point.India has brainwash it's people with so much Ms. Rai that they truely believe nobody is better looking. as 4 the rest of the world we see just another beautiful face, but not the most. same with Beyonce or any other celb. after a whole lot of media hype we think an avearage pretty girl is just the most beautiful. it's called clever marketing a human product to the world. that is why beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is also influence by brainwashing. No such thing as most beautiful. to one man Beyonce or Ms. Rai is stunngly beautiful to another they are very ugly. nothing to do with hate in some cases. it has to do with personal taste. people get all upset when someone don't agree that what they find very good looking may not be at all to the next. nobody in all the world is beautiful to every human being. we are made different to like different things. respect other people's taste in beauty. this is great that not one person in all the earth is fine to everyone, becuz it gives other people to be consider beautiful. that is what makes us all the same level of beautiful

    I am not a Beyonce fan and never cared for her group. It just seemed to me from the very beginning that the group was being used to the advantage of Beyonce. She was always up front on stage and in pictures. Her voice is horrible. We call her the "Running Man" because of all the vocal runs she does when she's singing and those Swartzenegger size thighs she has. She overdoes it with every performance. There is this huge media machine behind her and when she finally speaks she seems as dumb as rocks. She speaks publicly about as well as George Bush does and we all know what idiot he is. It's as though she has no personality. Her smile seems fake, like it's been glued on. We've been stuck listening to people whose Daddys have too much control in their career and not enough in their education(i.e.Bush). Her 15 minutes of fame is almost over though.

  • Antoinette

    Why do people like to chat a whole load of rubbish. I don't know Beyonce, and I am a fan of her and Destiny's Child. But c'mon what is with the hating it is so ridiculous. All those insulting her are the one's with insecurities and wish you were her. How could some DICKHEAD wish death on a person who has done nothing to you.

  • fairlady

    Hi, everyone...



    I wanna say that although I'm not a fan of Beyonce's, I respect her. I don't know her personally so I won't put her down. Why do I have a newfound respect for Beyonce? She seems really conceited & full of herself, but maybe, just maybe, that's not the real her. I read the story of DC, a good book called "Soul Survivors" recently.

    In it, you'll find the biographies of all 3 girls & how DC came to be, including all that happened when the original group split up. In this book Beyonce talks about her (surprisingly) painful childhood & adolescence in Houston. She reveals her struggles in school, the fact that she was overweight, her body-image problems, low self-esteem, & being the target of bullies. "I was shy and self-conscious," she says in the book, "I was fat, chunky, and I wore boy clothes. I made good grades but had trouble with math in 7th grade. This boy I sat next to made fun of me every day. He would call me ugly, fat, and stupid. He called me baldheaded. I would cry in the bathroom during lunch and then I'd go home and cry some more. My mom hired a tutor named Miss Little, who helped me with my homework."

    This book didn't endear me to her, but it did help me see her differently. She is a person who faced the same difficulties that a lot of young people face. She also reveals that she had to lose 30 lbs. before becoming famous, had to start wearing weaves & exercising a lot. A lot of young girls who read this book can probably relate to her experiences growing up. She didn't like herself, people made fun of her a lot, but she had a family who believed in her. I still don't really care for her but I recommend this book to anyone who's interested in knowing more about Beyonce, Kelly, or Michelle.

    First off this fake ass Tina Turner wanna be needs to go back and wipe Jay-Z's semen off of her mouth. She jst strikes me as one of these conceited fake ass celebrities who really isn't the "hottest chick in the game" as her boy toy Jay-z says. How can you get on awards shows talking about "God this and Jesus that" and then when the cameras are off let Jigga man bust a nut all up on you?Ifeel bad for Jill Scott, Flotery, Alicia Keys(why the hell is she even on tour with her) who are true r&b aritsts. Beyonce really has no competition(it's a wrap ASHANTI!!!!)

    so she can claim to be the biggest thing out there. Beyonce wouldn't even talk to the average person in the street, her album was garabage(SHOUT OUT TO THE CHI-LITES)and she is just another young dumb rich girl who gets her joy off of sleeping with famous rappers. She is a pathehic, fake prima donna wanna be, who deserves any misfortunes that come her way. You cant portray yourself to be a christian, then dance around naked on stage and bathe is champagna like a streitht up hooker. This CHICK needss to get a life, go back to church, and let the world know you for who U really are. A NASTY LITTLE GIRL!!!!
