I still have mixed feelings about this song – although I think for the most part, I really like it. BUT, this woman’s performance was INCREDIBLE. Forget the rumours/theories about body doubles in the video and take a look at her killing this on stage. Not to mention, the graphic support for the performance – ridiculously amazing. Major Lazer runs the world – the 2-year-old well-known rapid-fire Pon De Floor beat (sampled extensively in Beyonce’s track) is definitely getting noticed. Diddy Dirty Money’s “Ass On The Floor” ft Swizz Beatz is the last track before Bey’s to use it – I think. In the land of music production, it would appear that Major Lazer is king. Check out Lazer’s YouTube channel and the Pon De Floor riddim below.
