Rumors swarmed earlier this month that Beyonce will release an album in 2010, and the leaking of two new tracks hasn’t helped. The first is “Black Culture,” a previously recorded song that may or may not have originally had the Michael Jackson sample from “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” originally produced by Quincy Jones, before his untimely death.
The second cut is “Waiting,” produced by the production team, Stargate. No word on whether this track comes from the I Am… or B’Day sessions, considering that she worked with them on both albums. Bey is currently still on her I Am.. tour.

haha @ Jeff
Beyonce has alot of great songs, but she needs to make an album full of great songs. Not just make some here and there. She’s a talented entertainer, but she needs to brush up on her music skills. It’s about time to make a classic record Bey (beside DIL)
Imma need for Beyonce to forget about her performances and work on getting better music on her album. I deff think she need to stay away from this kind of music. Whatever she does she is gonna have to bring it this time around. Last time was not it. She has to step her game up! Now let me go tell Rihanna to lose weight, get in shape holler back!
YAWN!!!!!!!!! YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! drawling cow heffer needs to stop rippin the Kings music off and retire. LMAO. That sounds like one of those cuts that didnt make it on to the album. This phony needs to sit down no, make that lie down, and let real soul like alicia, Angie, Erykah, jazmine be suported. And no little girl, (AKA phoney lover 1993 SMH) you didnt need to sleep cause of the haters, it was probably your bedtime…LOL
Both songs will have to grow on me. But her crew will force the material whether we like it or not. She is very talented I just wish she would give us a chance to miss her. When was the last time you heard a record from Diane, Aretha, Gladys, Tina….we miss them and they are true icons. Take note.
I like both,but really like the way she sings Black culture. I don’t get why it’s called black culture or why she says black culture but I like the rest of it.
Both songs are garbage. Her singing style aggravates me for some reason; it’s like she’s always singing so over the top. I wish that she would take her vocal style back to the DIL days..
Beyonce should know that also she can not sample something from MJ, this will keep reminding us of him.. everytime she blurts out BLACK CULTURE.. Im shouting, Dont stop till u get enough.. > See, that aint gonna work!!
and Waiting.. Maybe..
CL, yall R so late, this song leaked like a week ag!!
This is obviously a leaked song from I am… not B’day, Vocally thats very apparent. Black Culture- Cute laugh, It sounds like a rough draft to me like she was just playing around in the studio. nice beat but not really feeling it. Waiting is nice…
I think Waiting is the best out of the 2. Id give Black Culture a 3/5 at the most & Waiting a 4/5 cause the vocals & production is pretty good, But the Lyrics are weak as if she wrote it all by herself. For a leaked song its O>K cuz most leaked songs are awful… I see why neither songs were released but what does this say about the songs this werent released- A Mess
Beys best leaked songs are Beautiful Nightmare, Roc, Poison, stop sign, forever to bleed, save the hero, why dont you love me, back up, Creole, & If…
Beyonce latest Album sold 5.6 Million copies so far BTW…
BEYONCE IS NOT EVEN IN THE STUDIO YET FOR HER NEW ALBUM. THESE ARE LEFTOVERS
AND SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT RIHANNA HER NEW SOUND IS WACK AND THE SALES ARE SHOWING IT LOL HOLLA AT ME WHEN SHE GET 10 GRAMMY NOMS WITH ALBUM OF THE YEAR LMAO!
cosigning #5, Bey needs to do some major work on her songwriting skills, maybe if she took a break she would find better things to sing about! DIL is still closest thing she has to a classic album.
She also could use some exclusive producers, working with all the rift raft in the industry is what’s holding her records down.
I see the haterz are mad, how can u compare an unreleased song to your favourites whole album? Seriously we all know whats going on with Rated R so i’m not even gonna go there. U gotta love her ability to snatch wigs with unreleased tracks like these.. Where’s yo favourite at? Stay mad
But really half of Beyonce’s last studio album sounds like “unreleased” material. So cheesy and uninspired…no wonder it sold well. Rated R knocks Sasha down track for track. And I did actually go to the store and purchase both albums when they dropped, so this not hate. Not one bit.
Listening to these songs I really shouldn’t like them but I do. Black Culture is hot. Love B’s laughing and the funk-i-ness of the song. They seem like nice old skool songs. It’s good to see her experimenting with different sounds.
I dont like the song.. I feel like she can do much better, i didnt even give the other song a chance because of the Black Culture song. I think i have a problem with her saying that she was black culture according to my friend lol!! but ultimately i feel like Beyonce needs to get back to black meaning she needs to get back to basics and crank out the music that i know she can.. Still a fan, not feeling the music
beyonce is the hottest bitch in the game right now but these songsz are weak! black culture is nice but any pop singer could sing waiting… like cmon you need to make A CLASSIC ALBUM! dangerously in love was fire! bday was fire. Sasha fierce was ok.. and now this new album????
LMFAO, how can you compare Rhiyawnas album to Beyonce’s?? Having heard both albums: production & lyric wise their both good & very different. I commend both for begging to be different with every album but seriously?? Every song on Rhi’s album is worth listening too as with Bey’s I Am Album but I Am gets a higher ratings and sold better than rhi has been selling, In a month Rhi only sold 600K world wide, within a month Bey was already platinum & thats just in America Alon. Rhi gets only a 5, 6 maybe 7 song gurrentee at the most but Bey gets at least a 12 as she has more stand out tracks & more single worthy songs! lets Compare using ratings…
In Order Best to Worst:
1. Fire Bomb (4.8 Stars) *single Worthy*

What kind of rating system is that? Your own personal ratings? I mean thanks but…the critics have already spoken. Rated R has gotten perfect ratings by some critics and near perfect for many more. She has a megacritic score of 76-Sasha only got a 62 score. Rated R has gotten far more raves than Sasha.
Sasha was a commercial success, but hell so were all of ‘N Sync’s albums, and we can all agree they weren’t the best quality regardless of sales.
Whenever I bring up how Britney is the Queen of this generation b/c of all the records she’s broken i.e. her sales, the Beyonce fans go crazy saying she isn’t the Queen b/c she doesn’t have the most substance. It’s so funny to me now seeing Bey’s fans throwing her sales up as proof that her album is better than Rihanna’s, even though Rated R has more quality and substance.
Come on now. You can’t have it both ways. And I’m not just directing this at you Shit (lol, can’t get over the screen name!).
Beyonce trying to hop on MJ brother dick. Get off my brother dick hoe. You was not thinking about him before he died. I ain’t see you calling him asking him was he okay before he died. MJ fans ignore beyonce and her song. She don’t fool me. She stay trying to get other people’s fans these days.
Wow, “Black Culture” has nothing to do with black culture. It could’ve been called “Another Random Booty Popping Club Song That You Won’t Remember Ten Years From Now ‘Cause All These Tracks Sound The Same”. But that wouldn’t fit on the album liner, I guess.
LMFAO, Rated R got Rave reviews?, were was eye, Sasha doesnt need reviews from Non-Fans to validate her, her album was Reflective & didnt not focus on just 1 direction & it was a 2 disc- It is only meant to appeal to fans & a broader audience, Beys last album B’Day got rave reviews too, but is it as good a I Am?? I beg to differ…
Infact, Critics are even more Biased than us common Folk… They just str8 up said Thriller was the Shit, LMFAO Trash Aside from Billie Jean dem & it only had 9 songs, B’Day was better…
Who calls themselves SHIT on the blogs, first of all. Black folks have gone to a new LOW. I get so tired of NIGGAZ like this that make the rest of us look bad. Get some self esteem and do something to uplift your race.
Yeah, Sasha is nominated for 10 Grammy’s, including Album of the Year, and it makes the Grammy’s look so irrelevant. They obviously picked the artists who sold well and would likely perform on the show instead of the artists that actually made the best music.
I get why Bey’s fans set so much store by the Grammy’s (it’s b/c she has a slew of them), but the academy is made up of record execs and artists who have won before. So needless to say, the best in music are not always awarded. It’s more of a networking scheme than anything else.
I set more store by the music journalists and critics who have actually studied music, than the greedy, rich Academy bastards that vote for whichever artist’s recognition will benefit their interests the most.
The Black Eyed Peas are also nominted for Album of the Year. I mean…come on.
I used to be a big fan of beyonce on the b’day era but I stop when she got so overrated ever since 2008 and noticed how many people bragged and worshiped her. Honey, Come down. btw How come I always see something about Rihanna and Beyonce but no one else? lol give variety, concrete.
Black Culture: yeah it does sound like she was just fooling around but that is the most annoying song I’ve EVER heard! “The party, the people, the people, the party” ? Like whaaat?! I had a confused look on my face throughout the whole like minute and something I listened to the song. I know have that line ^ stuck in my head. The song is absolutely horrible – especially the fake laughs!
Waiting: it’s just “aight” .. don’t really like itb
I like Bey but I am sooooooooooooooo tired of her right now….I really wouldn’t be mad if she took a break for 6 months of so…..talk about overexposed!!!
only 6 months #59? Try a year, or three! someone in her camp needs to tell her that the world has had as much Beyonce as it can take!
I think she feels like her family will have nothing to do if she comes out of the spotlight for a minute. How about they work on Solange? she is way more original than Bey right now.
Black culture is cool….”let’s hook uuuup” I can groove to that. I will always like the orginial better
Waiting is alright. I don’t think these will be on the album. They might end up being throw aways
Everything she does should be a “throw-away”
LOVE both songs <333333
DD
They re both very different, but AWESOMEEE in its own way
LOVE U B sooooo much <33333333
i dont like Black Culture…Its Funky, but not my cup of tea
I EFFING LOVE WAITING
im going to sleep,THE HATERS ARE COMING

B you are fallin off!!!!! this muzik is sOoOo wack!!!
I wish Bey some luck at the Grammy’s, but this doesn’t touch any of Rihanna’s latest material. Sorry. Come Again.
repost
don’t like either. both forgettable.
Sorry, another repost. Just testing my gravatar

Whatever she does she is gonna have to bring it this time around. Last time was not it. She has to step her game up! Now let me go tell Rihanna to lose weight, get in shape holler back!
This is the same kind of music that made her CD fall flat last time! I know it sold a lot but as far as the music it was disapointing!
Love the Queen B. Apparently these are from the Bday sessions, so old stuff. Like Waiting, Black Culture is OK.
XOXO
wait a minute “waiting” isn’t a ne yo’s song?
THESE SONGS ARE UNRELEASED FOR A REASON! stop being haters and look at the situation. They are old songs, not new.
Waiting is hot. Black Culture : wasn’t really feeling it.
YAWN!!!!!!!!! YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! drawling cow heffer needs to stop rippin the Kings music off and retire. LMAO. That sounds like one of those cuts that didnt make it on to the album.

both songs are shit….exspecialy black culture its PURE crap…and waiting sounds like something the would let out wen she was with DC
I dont like the song.. I feel like she can do much better, i didnt even give the other song a chance because of the Black Culture song. I think i have a problem with her saying that she was black culture according to my friend lol!! but ultimately i feel like Beyonce needs to get back to black meaning she needs to get back to basics and crank out the music that i know she can..

Waiting.. nice song..but she makes it sound boring! I’d rather hear Jordan Sparks, Brandy, or Pink sing this..
Seriously, this chick needs to stop putting out music for awhile..she’s already overrated and unoriginal..
Happy Holidays, Concreteloop!!

BEYONCE CAN NOT SING WITH HER SCREECHING VOICE.
SHE’S FAKE—PART JANET PART MARIAH PART DIANA PART TINA = COPYCAT
AT HER AGE SHE SHOULD HAVE A “I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU OR A “HERO” AND SHE DOES NOT
SHE’S GONNA FADE REAL SOON WITH HER FAKE LIP-SINGING BUTT
Please post the new Tweet song CL which kills both of these songs!! Thanks in advance.
