i mean, i know that sounds ridiculous and entitled, but, this song has been floating around for most of the year! why couldn't she have just released it earlier.

yeah same here -- "Grown Woman" never seemed remotely promising so if she's circling back to that, ugh.
someone posted a Hot 97 playlist recently that said "Standing On The Sun" is their #4 song right now -- did a full-length studio version of that song ever actually get released? i loved the snippet in the ad.
― some dude, Sunday, 8 December 2013 03:03 (ten years ago) link
idk about its official radio release status but just in terms of hearing it then (short answer) yes. studio leak chronology goes like this afaiui

I pretty much gave myself over to Spotify in 2013. I rarely listen to music any other way. I spend the $10/month or whatever for unlimited ad-free listening.
That said, I'm really tempted to buy this right now.

I apparently phrased my initial post poorly so let me try again: other than 'Top Five', can anyone think of a prior-to-'Formation' pop culture reference or song lyric that associates carrying a bottle of hot sauce as being a black and/or southern signifier?

i was loving this song the other day - and that battle cry of EGGS BACON GRITS!! - but then the revelation halfway through that Lil Mama only eats turkey bacon was kind of a letdown for some reason. i mean it's fine and she gives religious reasons for avoiding swine but it kinda took the wind out of the chorus cuz who has a turkey bacon battle cry? still like the video a lot though.

During Jim Crow, Black people could pick up food at establishments that served white people, but they often could not eat in them. When custom demanded that Black people be served separately from whites, they were often required to have their own utensils, serving dishes, and condiments. So it was customary for Black families who were traveling to carry everything they might possibly need so that (with the help of the Green Book, the guide that helped Black travelers eat, sleep, and move as safely as possible) they could navigate America in relative comfort.

we took hot sauce to Germany on our second trip there because they didn't have hot sauce and we were used to eating a little hot sauce here and there. our motivation was, we wanted some hot sauce on our food and weren't sure we'd be able to get it otherwise. in Germany they put paprika on stuff when they want to eat spicy food. then eight hours later they shit onto porcelain shelves for the whole world to see
