So what when we dance 9/10 we got it from somewhere else. Why is it wrong when she does it? Ppl all over you tube are teaching each other how to "dougie". Our first lady was even doing it! We cover each others songs...so, I ask again, "why is it wrong when Beyonce does it?"
This is how you can spot a hater...
Broadcast OTHERS failures and whisper THEIR success.
They choreograph their own work- Xavier Champion and Mario Buce. They are amazing inspired choreographers who I had the honor of kicking it with when I was recently in Maputo, Mozambique for KINANI Contemporary Dance Festival. The W Tofo Boys live in Matola- right outside of Maputo. We went clubbing and there is rich innovation in that club space. I would like for Beyonce to invite them on tour so they can continue to make economic profits and help their family/country.
because Beyonce is not black she mixed. she stole it to make money she is not represent real black culture or black ppl. she just stole and spoil african/black cultures in all the world just like untalented ugly whites do!
lol the person who took the time to make this video is making me laugh lol...even if you didnt see the behind the scenes where she flew them over from africa...ARE YOU THAT BLIND THAT YOU DIDNT EVEN SEE THE TWO GUYS RIGHT NEXT TO HER IN THE VIDEO LOL
THIS IS BULLSHIT!! beyonce got them to teach her those dance moves! Do your fucking research. The to guys on the outside of the African dancers are the guys in her film clip! Beyonce got them to do the choreography. She didn't copy no body
I wonder if the same amount of energy they put into these celebrities... do they put that much energy in GOD. SMH... celebrities are human they will died but GOD will always be and we will meet Him on Judgment Day.. yall better choose wisely on who ya want to worship. Not saying beyonce or any other artist is bad. just keeping it real
B is a coo singer. dance nah.. originality nah. so unoriginal. I dont care if you take some1 shit just as long as u 1. get their permission n 2. give them their credits. which she clear does not do. So 2 me she is not all dat fuckn great. ppl sitting here getting all butt hurt 4 a woman who don't know yall. let her steal a song or dance ya worked very hard on n she takes it n said she wrote it/made it up ya would be pissed. she is wrong for what she is doing. she is not the only one either
Oh my life - watch the documentary. Theyre the same boys as in her video. None of the proffesional dancers could grasp the moves so she changed their lives and put them in the video. WOW shocking -_- shes black why is it so shocking that shes embrassing africa?
Im more interested in the intro track than the dance moves... the producers .. please let me know where i can buy your music im a club promoter in the US and would love to play your beats with an african swing ... LOVE it.. please let me know... im so serious...
Beyonces Is Slower To Go With The Beat Yes The Beat Is Faster But They're On One Beat With The Dance If You Can Understand THat But I Love It I Think She Did A Great Job And What She Did Was Really Nice
WELL MY OPINION BEYONCE AINT REALLY COPIED NOONE SHE ACTUALLY BROUGHT THEM SO THEY KAN MAKE THE VIDEO AND IF YOU LOOK CLEARLY THE TWO GUYS IN THE ACTUAL VIDEO ARE THE ONES THAT ARE IN YO TOFO VIDEO
She actually had her team search for the ToFo ToFo dance members and flew them in to teach her the dance moves bc their culture is too unique to be taught by just anyone. I DIG the AFRICAN SWAG. You like the dance moves you should try the food!... RICH BLOOD!
@Bkayify Yeah you're an idiot for sure. Foolish one i'm not a fan of her, but I know talent when I see it. You're obsessed and angry out here. Then it's obvious you have a bias against black Americans because you resorted to more nonsense once again. Look you little ugly misshaped goon, fix your wig and sit your angry self down somewhere. If she's fat, then I know for sure you are a FOOL. Go play in mud that's what you're used to anyhow you goon.
Tofo Tofo; keep dancing and influence the world; Who run the world ; Africa ! If Africa didn't then dance would die. Yes, Moron Americans will say Moron statements.
I am so ecstatic to see any dance video you are featuring. Great Men to travel and KEEP dancing and bring the riches back to the villages. Then you have done something GREAT
@Bkayify You're an idiot plain and simple. I don't converse with fools. Grown up already and get a life. Who said I was American or even black you ashy foot having bastard. Fools often resort to nonsense because the point they're trying to bring home is invalid. Go play in the mud.
The two dancers in front of her are actually from Tofo Tofo, it took them 4 months to find them, they taught her the dance, and then shot the video with her
lmao! from the comments on the video its like these folks dont know that beyonce is BLACK...wtf who SHOULDNT she be intrested in african culture??? FOH! *rolls eyes*
The lineage of the bloodline is traced through the ''mother'' not the father! People don't know that Beyonce's grandmothe is 100 percent Caucasian, which means Beyonce mother is Caucasian who had a black father also like Beyonce now who has a black father. You are what your mother is. That being said you can actually conclude that Beyoncey is Caucasian which is why her voice is not as strong as 100 % black artist like Jennifer Hudson and Patti Labelle.
who the f*** cares what her or any other persons ethinicity's ancestry is? If we are to take an ancestral view then there is no reason to stop at grand parents or great grandparents, and we would end up with the fact that we all have african roots. We all have the same bloodline. Now just enjoy the dance and the song.
@reeseleebaby WTF hahahahah that's obvious that Beyonce is black skinned and every knows that but she's not from Africa and she doesn't know what African culture is , so she is interested in the African culture and wants to know more about it ** makes faces**
Ummm yea duh she flew them to her so they could teach her the dance and those are the 2 on the video!!! So dont make it sound like she is stealing their dancwe moves!!! Do your research
The two guys dancing with her, they're actually the dancers of the Tofo Tofo group. She brought them from Africa to teach the moves to all the dancers and herself because nobody could reproduce the moves like the Tofo Tofo guys did
They tought her the dance.. she even honored them basically... she was so amazed by their energy and talent. The point is no we can watch the video "year 4" and understand!!!!
man u such a noob, beyonce actually had the idea of the african thingy on her head before she started the video, then she rang thiese guys to be on her video
SOME PEOPLE OVER REACT ON THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, IT'S LIKE SHAKIRA WHEN SHE STARTED, SHE WASN'T BELLY DANCING ALL THE TIME, SHE GOT IN TOUCH WITH HER ROOTS AND CULTURE ABOUT 11 YEARS AGO. LOOK AT HER VIDEO: YO SOY ASI...SHE'S NOT BELLY DANCING...AS AN ARTIST IF YOU DON'T REINVENT YOURSELF YOU WILL STAY AT THE BOTTOM...I'M SURPRISE J.LO's BACK UP AGAIN. AFTER THE TWIN KIDDOS I NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD COME BACK...BUT WITH ALL THOSE COMMERCIALS WHO WOULDN'T RIGHT! RE-INVENT
PLEASE LOOK AT THE VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTING, SHE FLEW THE GUYS IN TO TEACH HER THE DANCE, YES SHE COPIED THEIR DANCE MOVES, THAT WAS THE POINT, CUZ HER SONG HAS AFRICAN BEATS. FOR SOME REASON NONE OF HER DANCERS COULD DO IT JUST LIKE THEM. SO SHE PAID TO FIND THEM, & FLY THEM IN, TO TEACH HER AND HER DANCERS. IF SHE'S GETTING INTOUCH WITH HER ROOTS OR CULTURE WELL BE IT. SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN, AND RULES THE WORLD, WHY NOT? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER DO THE CHA-CHA, MAMBO, CUMBIA, QUEBRADITA...WHY NOT?
@agelessgia ahahaha love ur comment, i ws jst about to write sthing like this...ppl are jst stuuupid for making comments about how she copied it...pfffffff
@agelessgia Yes you're right. And she did the right thing to flew them in..well it also helped that none of her dances could do the dance ;) if you read the comments, you will learn about Tofo Tofo and where they have inspired their dances from. it's all about knowledge. African culture is being borrowed too many time in pop culture, and it never get credit for it. Tofo Tofo are far from the only african choregraphers that sees their dances moves in today's music video. Nothing against Beyonce
@XXTEMPLE Aside from the moves of Tofo Tofo, if we (African-Americans & Afro-Caribbeans) descend from Africa won't we have similar dance moves? When we do these moves it is not that we are not trying to give credit where credit is due, but they are seen as OUR moves.If you learned whinin (the last dance clip) growin up you are not goin 2 say you are African dancin if you never been to Africa or never seen an African dance. So while u may c African moves mayb the person who made it up sees it dif
yall are making this into something totally different , beyonce saw that video of them && loved it .. it took her 4 months to find them & she did.. she flew them in & THEY taught her the dance . wth is the problem ? they are in the video , they taught her the dance .. if you watched the show you would see that she actually love those guys.. just get your facts straight before you post something on the web talk bad about someone .. thanks
@dyme90210 Beyonce flew Tofo Tofo to shoot her video. That's cool, we all knew that. However, do you realized how many more african dances are in this video ? Probably not! During her performances for "Run the World" and "the end of time", she dances african steps like coupe decale, ndombolo and so on. You probably didnt know..So , this video is mainly to show how much African culture is now part of the mainstream pop culture: the clothes, the dances moves, the concept. Nothing against Beyonce !
@XXTEMPLE actually , EVERY artist gets their inspiration from somewhere , whether its another country , another person or thing . so the fact that she is doing these african dances is okay , who else in America is doing them? thats the whole point , to bring her fans something that no one else is doing , MOST non-africans wouldnt know about those dances you named , thanks to beyonce , we do .. it just seemed like you were trying to put her out & i didnt like that
actually ,beyonce didnt copy TofoTofo .. She found them & they flew to America from home to show her their dances for her new video ! - bcause she was a huge fans of their dance moves ; sooooo . they came & they gawt some choreography goin own ( ;
Ummmm HELLO for all you nobodies wo is bashing Beyonce and saying we americans dont give credit to Africans ----> Beyonce made a documentary on how she found this African group and loved te way they daNCED and she actually PUT them in her video ... its not like she just took their dances. && bfore you say anything else dumb ... just know that she asked these Africans to teach her and they did ... she didn't steal anything -_____-
my god people are embarrassing...do your freakin research before all hell breaks loose. Beyonce hired two dancers from Tofo Tofo for her video...so silly.
@TheFASHIONESTA S2244, The guy on the middle and the guy on the left are on Beyonce's video of Who run the world. If you look closely, you see them at 1:03 of the video. Beyonce went to Africa and saw this group and she loved their dance. These guys are from Mozambique. Gotta love Africa, that's where dance moves originate.
Btw just thought I mention that the dance at the beginning of her video is actually the Ethiopian dance called "eskista"... with the hands on hips and shaking of shoulders and hair ;) check it out
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 You fucking arrogant cheeky slag...2 of the 3 guys in this video are in Beyonce's video of 'run the world' which FYI she personally asked for. They where flown in from South Africa so they could lead the first part of the video when she dances with the two guys. Get your facts right before you talk instead of making yourself look like a twat.
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244, For your information, It's not that Africans are bragging. Even when I saw that video, I recognized the African dances in it. If Beyonce does not have a problem with it, neither should you. The least you could do is at least research it before calling it stupid......
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 ...do a reseach with the name TOFO TOFO !!! video on youtube since 2009 for some .. so Beyonce made the video since 2009 ... ???? big ass stupid
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 on mtv for Beyonce 4 she clearly said...she got her dance ideas from the africans and so she flew them over for them to be in her video..
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244--look at her special on MTV OR BET and she said she seen them a year ago and was fascinated with their dance and decided to use it with her next album..and if you LOOK closely you will see that is them in her video..FUCKING GENIUS
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 She rlly Loved their dance moves . she tried to teach it to the other dancers but the couldn't get it right so she called tofo tofo to teach it to them, and the guys that she was dancing with are in the group tofo tofo.She said it in her interview on Bet.
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 So you obviously haven't seen her video where she has these guys come in and teach her the moves and actually had them in the girls video with her.....
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 look you where wrong we are right the 2 boys dancing with beyonce are from the tofo tofo vidieo clip and she wanted them to come to her to teach them how to dance like that and its a win win because they get to be in the vidieo clip and have a good time and beyonce learns how to do the dance and have a good time with them
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 those guys were dancing like that in 2009 and beyonce run the world came out in 2011...think about it how can someone copy something from the future...???dont be stubborn please...and she didnt copy.they worked because 2 of those dancers in yellow are in her video...it is a collaboration
@TheFASHIONESTAS2244 actually she did copy them i don't really like using that word because on the show year 4 she flew them there for them to teach her
you know it is the same dance but if she do that dance and then sell the cd with that song on it and when people buy she gets a-lot of money and the money that she does get could be sent to africa i mean we really dont know so dont judge because we dont know only way to know is to ask her but were not famous so we cant ask her
We need more women to wear African attire with pride. If Beyonce is starting that trend as a celebrity. Then if it takes off it can only mean more business and money for black designers and the recognition they deserve.
@64spenser Please Beyonce doesn't have any pride in being African,if she did she wouldn't be busy making herself look evn mo lighter than she is.She did the whole African shoot thing for attention,why has it taken her so long to express her "love" for Africa?She wants people to go,wow she'd make such a beautiful African-maybe in Nigeria or Mozambique where they don't have women that are more prettier than Beyonce,in South Africa we don't buy that,we have women who are so prettier than her & she
@bkayify I hear you bkayify. I went to South Africa two years ago and yes the women are pretty there,. I have also had the opportunity to meet other African ladies from Ghana, Botswana, Uganda, Namibia, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Gabon, Somalia, Ethiopia, Angola, Nigeria and the Caribbean, you can tell I live in London. They to have amazed me with their beauty. For me any positive promotion or presentation of Africa is a good thing, be that fashion, music, food, art, film or history...
@bkayify Stay off of youtube listening to clips that tell you all of these fantastic tales about folks joining the Illuminati and other secret societies. You're an idiot just as I thought. Bring me facts or shut the hell up. You can't come with facts because you have none.
@smutton The word of God is all the facts i need.Get ur lyf ryt and keep frm telling lies
"i don't even like Beyonce you idiot".Who are u kididng? She's got u under her freaky spell and i do feel sorry for u despite all the name calling. But i understand, it's wh@ those who cnt contribute positively 2 the success of America r good @,they dnt hv the brains 2 come up with anything bt swear words,a disgrace really.
@bkayify You're an idiot and more than likely 21. You're going to sit here and tell me who and what I like now? Like I said you have no facts with your brainwashed young self. Go read a book and get offline already.
What's the deal here? All I can say is at least she's doing something cool; getting some dance moves and broadcasting it to the wider world. More please!
my only suggest....make the point of your video clear before posting it, that's what school si supposed to teach us, to clarify our points. I'm seeing the point of english class more and more because of this. Don't get me wrong, not bashin you in anyway, but i can see how ppl take it the wrong way. My friend told me about this video and i was pissed off cuz i thought "wow....another person hating on Beyonce, what else is new" but i see that your video is not intended to be like that
you are dead wrong Tofo Tofo is not from Mozambique its actually from South Africa and the dance is called Pantsula Jive. South African and very proud.
@bkandsk calm yourself down... she liked Tofu tofu's video... she contacted them and put them in her video! End of story. Don't be mad if Tofutofu knows nothing about Pantsula or whatever u call it. Bey never wanted pantsula in her video... she wanted Tofu tofu's interpretation.
She absolutely messed up Pantsula by putting a know-nothing-about-Pantsula group that let her dance the style naked (something that is not done in Pantsula). If she had asked Trompies or Alaska,the real amaPantsula, to feature in her stupid song they wouldn't have let a naked fat lady to dance Pantsula. People who should be getting anything out of that dance being used are Trompies or Alaska. The video and the song are terrible and on top she gives credit to some Mozambiquan nobodies

SOME PEOPLE OVER REACT ON THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, IT'S LIKE SHAKIRA WHEN SHE STARTED, SHE WASN'T BELLY DANCING ALL THE TIME, SHE GOT IN TOUCH WITH HER ROOTS AND CULTURE ABOUT 11 YEARS AGO. LOOK AT HER VIDEO: YO SOY ASI...SHE'S NOT BELLY DANCING...AS AN ARTIST IF YOU DON'T REINVENT YOURSELF YOU WILL STAY AT THE BOTTOM...I'M SURPRISE J.LO's BACK UP AGAIN. AFTER THE TWIN KIDDOS I NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD COME BACK...BUT WITH ALL THOSE COMMERCIALS WHO WOULDN'T RIGHT! RE-INVENT

PLEASE LOOK AT THE VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTING, SHE FLEW THE GUYS IN TO TEACH HER THE DANCE, YES SHE COPIED THEIR DANCE MOVES, THAT WAS THE POINT, CUZ HER SONG HAS AFRICAN BEATS. FOR SOME REASON NONE OF HER DANCERS COULD DO IT JUST LIKE THEM. SO SHE PAID TO FIND THEM, & FLY THEM IN, TO TEACH HER AND HER DANCERS. IF SHE'S GETTING INTOUCH WITH HER ROOTS OR CULTURE WELL BE IT. SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN, AND RULES THE WORLD, WHY NOT? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER DO THE CHA-CHA, MAMBO, CUMBIA, QUEBRADITA...WHY NOT?

@agelessgia Yes you're right. And she did the right thing to flew them in..well it also helped that none of her dances could do the dance ;) if you read the comments, you will learn about Tofo Tofo and where they have inspired their dances from. it's all about knowledge. African culture is being borrowed too many time in pop culture, and it never get credit for it. Tofo Tofo are far from the only african choregraphers that sees their dances moves in today's music video. Nothing against Beyonce

@XXTEMPLE Aside from the moves of Tofo Tofo, if we (African-Americans & Afro-Caribbeans) descend from Africa won't we have similar dance moves? When we do these moves it is not that we are not trying to give credit where credit is due, but they are seen as OUR moves.If you learned whinin (the last dance clip) growin up you are not goin 2 say you are African dancin if you never been to Africa or never seen an African dance. So while u may c African moves mayb the person who made it up sees it dif

bochin09 8 months ago
@dyme90210 Beyonce flew Tofo Tofo to shoot her video. That's cool, we all knew that. However, do you realized how many more african dances are in this video ? Probably not! During her performances for "Run the World" and "the end of time", she dances african steps like coupe decale, ndombolo and so on. You probably didnt know..So , this video is mainly to show how much African culture is now part of the mainstream pop culture: the clothes, the dances moves, the concept. Nothing against Beyonce !
XXTEMPLE 8 months ago
@XXTEMPLE actually , EVERY artist gets their inspiration from somewhere , whether its another country , another person or thing . so the fact that she is doing these african dances is okay , who else in America is doing them? thats the whole point , to bring her fans something that no one else is doing , MOST non-africans wouldnt know about those dances you named , thanks to beyonce , we do .. it just seemed like you were trying to put her out & i didnt like that

Beyonce went to Africa and saw this group and she loved their dance. These guys are from Mozambique. Gotta love Africa, that's where dance moves originate.

Get your facts right before you talk instead of making yourself look like a twat.

We need more women to wear African attire with pride. If Beyonce is starting that trend as a celebrity. Then if it takes off it can only mean more business and money for black designers and the recognition they deserve.

@64spenser Please Beyonce doesn't have any pride in being African,if she did she wouldn't be busy making herself look evn mo lighter than she is.She did the whole African shoot thing for attention,why has it taken her so long to express her "love" for Africa?She wants people to go,wow she'd make such a beautiful African-maybe in Nigeria or Mozambique where they don't have women that are more prettier than Beyonce,in South Africa we don't buy that,we have women who are so prettier than her & she

@bkayify I hear you bkayify. I went to South Africa two years ago and yes the women are pretty there,. I have also had the opportunity to meet other African ladies from Ghana, Botswana, Uganda, Namibia, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Gabon, Somalia, Ethiopia, Angola, Nigeria and the Caribbean, you can tell I live in London. They to have amazed me with their beauty. For me any positive promotion or presentation of Africa is a good thing, be that fashion, music, food, art, film or history...

experiment0003 8 months ago
She absolutely messed up Pantsula by putting a know-nothing-about-Pantsula group that let her dance the style naked (something that is not done in Pantsula). If she had asked Trompies or Alaska,the real amaPantsula, to feature in her stupid song they wouldn't have let a naked fat lady to dance Pantsula. People who should be getting anything out of that dance being used are Trompies or Alaska. The video and the song are terrible and on top she gives credit to some Mozambiquan nobodies
