The scene in the warehouse where Bob is shooting the hung KKK members that then turn into a Karen a cop, Trump, and a Jan 6th terrorist is such powerful visual. I love Bob's unapologetic attitude
OK, Jan 6th insurrectionists, traitors. And, yes, actually definitely also terrorists. They used terror as a tool to attempt to overthrow the US government. Just watch the footage.
The highest form of what it means to be an artist. Unapologetic, political, intersectional, irreverent, representational. I have said it before, Bob is one of the best to come out of the Drag Race. My absolute favorite queen. The imagery at the end is everything. ❤
The end made this old white lady in Texas CRY the first time and almost every time since ha 💛💛 These lyrics, every visual, if you are Human and have read one book this is powerful.
@@AliKaytishI'm also a white lady, and I almost cried. It's so powerful, I love it so much. I also thought it was cool how Bob used the same general imagery/set as Childish Gambino's America (another amazingly powerful song.)
In my country, it was common growing up for people to make fun of black people who wore yellow. They'd say we looked ugly in yellow and it made us look extra dark and how it glowed on us like a highlighter or glowstick. It was strangely powerful to see Bob looking stunning in all yellow surrounded by beautiful yellow cloth everywhere. Idk it just made the little girl in me smile so see everything so unapologetically black throughout the video and ending on that specific shot. I don't even know if that thing about insulting yellow and orange on black people was common in America too tbh.
I grew up in Louisiana, and when I was younger I used to hear the same things. Even from other black ppl. Comments like that really do stay with you and can cause so much self hatred. I'm still trying to unlearn some of those brainwashed ideas.
@@tinimemeyI grew up in LA, too. In the 1970s. I am pasty white, and my life has been made richer by POC... friends *and* strangers. My workplace is 95% POC and I am very grateful to be accepted as a peer there. On a shallow/less serious note, the darker a person's skin, the better yellow looks on them. Case in point: Bob the Drag Queen.
My aunt told me this story about the color red -- that it was a racist white stereotype that "'n----s' love red," so she refused to wear it for years. They really are jealous.
Thanks to the artists like Bob I hope soon a phrase "Feels so good to be .." would be normalised. I want to be proud of who I am and not look racist. Every colour is beautiful!!! Everyone is beautiful!!! Feels so good to be human.
God this is amazing. The final shot of bob looking so regal, royal, proud, beautiful and black paired with Basit's golden vocals. tears are litterally streaming down my face rn😭😭😭😭😭💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Can we all appreciate the beauty in the chorus vocals? The control and expression honestly are like heavenly fingers plucking a golden harp, especially when it goes acapella at the end.
I don't know if I'm extra sensitive today but the chorus has me sobbing like a baby, even the twerking had me shed a tear. 😍Thank you ancestors for fighting for us and surviving so we could hear this!
This song is a MOMENT. I haven't stopped listening to it since it dropped this morning! Love the subtle RENAISSANCE-reference with the "Halo"-esque Hat and the glass windows! So proud of you Bob. Keep up the incredible work and activism!
Lemme gag you for a sec, we shot this in early may😅 renaissance or break my soul art work wasn’t even out when I came up with the hat idea. Great minds think alike I guess 😊
This a song with a sick beat and such powerful message. I'm not black but hispanic and this song filled my heart with joy and my eyes with tears. Much love to you my queens!
I'm a 52 year old gay man. I'm just now September 2023 coming across this song and Bob The Drag Queen. I love it. I will support any and all gay person out there. Keep up the awesome work. May God bless you always! Bily Curless Wichita, Kansas, USA
I literally had to collect myself after watching this. It’s… So genuinely, unapologetically, undeniably BLACK. People of color, queer or not, should be proud of the message on display here. So much powerful imagery, inescapable words, and a confidence that cannot be shaken. I hope to have the assuredness of these incredibly talented humans someday.
Bob, Ocean Kelly & Basit are amazing & this song & music video are beautiful & powerful. 💖 Really appreciate everyone's incredible artistry. Also the vocals 🥺💖💖 . I and so many will have this song and video on repeat. 💖
People need to stop sleeping on Bob's beauty, creativity and talent. Like yeah she's hilarious, but her sense of fashion combined with this subject is just wow. I loved all the artists in this clip
Damn!!!! Bob is EXTREMELY talented I’m Lin love with this song! As a BLACK GAY MAN myself it speaks to me heavily! Thanks BOB for always being a queen for the people! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
This dropped at the perfect time bc I've been sharing more blackity black stuff w my followers, just letting them know how amazing it is to be black. 10/10 experience, good w/ the bad. You bbs nailed this and I'm so proud of you. Can't wait to share it repeatedly. 🖤🌺🤘🏿🔥
In the rap industry, where toxic masculinity and homophobia are the standards, this is refreshing and much needed. Despite America being a fucked up place, this is a small sign that we're evolving, though slowly and probably too late.😞
Had NOOOO idea Basit sang!!!! He was literally my fav on his season of AYTO! I love when my faves colab! Song already downloaded cuz what?! Feels soo good to be black ! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I'm sorry, not only was this video breath taking but, that whole yellow dress moment at the end sent me through the roof!! I can't with you Bob! Absolutely Amazing!!
Bob, Ocean Kelly, & Basit, Y'all ate this song up! I love the production, lyrics, and visuals!!! Thank you for using your artistry and platform to Represent!! 💜🖤💜🖤
I felt chills throughout this video, everyone added such powerful verses to it with the earworm that is Bob's chorus that makes it endlessly catchy. This is one hell of an anthem! I'm gonna play this shit on repeat as part of my morning self-care routine to keep up the fight.
I’m a black (baby)queen myself and this video gave me life! PARTICULARLY the part where you snatched up miss Karen’s phone and stomped it! I’ve literally been filmed by a Karen myself so that slapped EXTRA hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️ CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM GIRL!
This and the Black Panther movie coming out. November looking like black excellence on a megaphone. Black Excellence is every month, we just a tad bit louder this month

Amen! That's who they are underneath, ppl you see every day.
The funny thing is real Africans won't appreciate how black Americans are appropriating their culture. Bob would not survive a day in Africa.
Same!!!

Tbh
That’s the line!!! It spoke to me!
I was JUST thinking the same thing!
THAT’S THE LINE!!!
i don’t get it

"My roots run deep, hair grows to the sky. Gravity we defy". Absolutely beautiful and true lyrics right there.
Ocean's verse tho😱😱😱!!!!!! Y'all completely devoured this song, loved every second of it💜✊🏾
Right? Gets me sssooo hyphy on this Monday mornin. I love it so much.

Saw this performed live at the Sibling Rivalry tour and the crowd went insane. NYC show was unbelievable. Monet and Bob killed!!!
Why you not killed him on show
"feels so good to be black"
gotdamn, Bob. Just marvelous and epic af and an undeniable bop. 👏😭
Yeah I can hear Beyonce singing this like I'm shook, I'm hyped, I'm crying, I'm horny???? Baby she SERVEDDDDD!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Ocean had me going MMMMM on "I don't need February to tell me I'm NECESSARY" like gotDAMN right
Hey Roberta. Girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. The visuals, the lyrics everything!
*Bob
@@luciddreaming4478 have you… never watched anything of bobs? Everyone calls her Roberta lol
@@luciddreaming4478 Bob is the shortened version of Roberta. I have an Aunt Bob, her actual name is Roberta.
Can we all appreciate the beauty in the chorus vocals? The control and expression honestly are like heavenly fingers plucking a golden harp, especially when it goes acapella at the end.

That was absolutely amazing. The shot of Bob with the light coming through the hat is so beautiful. What a powerful video and song ❤
Lbtgq artist Nowiamfamous
The light filtering through the hat got me, too. It's so well done.
Ocean Kelly never misses!! The whole crew slayed it. Forever a fan

I don’t need February to tell me I’m necessary ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Literally in tears at how beautiful this whole video is especially the last shot… So proud

She really took them visuals for a ride downhill with no brakes. I was gagged
This is incredible, powerful, and a BOP. Thank you Bob for your voice and art always 👏🏽
Still a banger after all these years.
I can't play this song without replaying Ocean Kelly's verse
When Bob has something to say, he says it, and lets the mic drop!
BOB YOU DID NOT HAVE TO GO THIS HARD EVERYTHING IS ON POINT I LISTENED 5 TIMES
I may not be black but this song makes me proud to be African. Much respect Bob and Al. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Send this to all bobs haters. The talent is on another level.
OCEAN KELLY ATEEEEEEE
PARAMEDICS!!
I was not ready.
best music by a drag queen I've seen
OCEAN KELLY ATE THIS UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
powerful; has Missy Elliott vibes
I legit clapped at the end. The lyrics and the visuals are so stellar!!!
Ugh sooooo happy to see ocean kelly getting more airtime she deserves it. So talented. This was good.
Black trans man listening to this, finally feeling seen.
Okay, new favourite Bob song, seriously she puts out such good songs with powerful visuals. Ocean and Basit were sooooo good to.
Amazing.
Only Bob the Drag Queen could have brought us this LEVEL of ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE. Keep making art Bob. You are so loved
Yellow is Bobs color hennnyyyy!!!! 😍
Bob, Ocean Kelly & Basit are amazing & this song & music video are beautiful & powerful. 💖 Really appreciate everyone's incredible artistry. Also the vocals 🥺💖💖 . I and so many will have this song and video on repeat. 💖
The fact I can heard monet and todrick in them background vocals >>>
Damn bob I love this a lot! Also Basit went the fuck off, that flow was 🔥
Omg the Europa Cake being eaten is such a smart reference and inversion of the comics of the scramble for Africa during late colonial times!
People need to stop sleeping on Bob's beauty, creativity and talent. Like yeah she's hilarious, but her sense of fashion combined with this subject is just wow. I loved all the artists in this clip
Also that line wheres she did a lil Nicki Minaj faggotron gaggotron ATE DOWN I need it on repeat
I have always LOVED Bob’s propping up Ocean Kelly this stunna needs to BLOW UP and Bob is like girl hold my purse.
Exactly why you were legendary as soon as you appeared on our screens, pure talent.
I’m glad bob invented houndstooth we’d be lost without it
Damn!!!! Bob is EXTREMELY talented I’m Lin love with this song! As a BLACK GAY MAN myself it speaks to me heavily! Thanks BOB for always being a queen for the people! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Final scene: when you are powerful, when you have ownership of your own identity, you needn't move a muscle. The world will bow to you.

“It’s music for my people and you ain’t gotta like shit” YES ROBERTA
This absolutely next level, powerful, and displays the tact and prowess Bob is known for. Everyone involved should be insanely proud 🎉
I'm Irish and I still love this.
Bob and Monet x change are honestly the best music acts from Rupaul drag race. Love the message! Lyrics were 🔥🔥🔥
also, sharon + katya!
Every. Thing. About. This. Video. Is. Perfect.

This video was so good. Those last shots of Bob surrounded by the gold I think is the most stunning she's ever looked
That last shot in yellow is *chef kiss*
Queen of all queens! Don't need an ALL STARS....
"I don’t need February to tell me I’m necessary"

This is everything we need right now! Fierce, smart protest stomping music. Love you Bob! You are amazing!
Mouth left open, catching flies at this point. Beautiful.
I need Bob to put on a whole show just for this song. It was EVERYTHING!!!

I'm sorry, not only was this video breath taking but, that whole yellow dress moment at the end sent me through the roof!! I can't with you Bob! Absolutely Amazing!!
Still a banger!! 🔥 Feels good to be Black & Queer! Much love for this, Bob! ✊🏾

Love that Ocean is wearing Bob's jewellery from the Season 9 finale
Thank you for this bob. You really made me feel empowered with my skin and you’re so educated it shows in your lyrics. We need more queens like you.
“I don’t need February to tell me I’m necessary”
HOLY SHIT BOB! this is INCREDIBLE… the visuals and the lyrics… BOB!!!
