One of the messages portrayed from Beyonce is that she is black and proud and will never change by constantly speaking on her outstanding characteristics that separate her from everyone else.No they are not similar to her message of being a black and powerful women because at the beginning off the video she starts speaking of illuminati.Matsoukas helped Beyonce convey those messages/ themes by using empowerment aesthetics specifically for being black strong and proud and using visual symbols and imagery throughout the video such as references to African culture and Black Lives Matter movement. Examples of a rhetorical devices being used is when she says “im so reckless I rock my Givenchy dress” this is a hyperbole because she isn’t reckless but she is exaggerating her confidence and boldness when dressing, another rhetorical device used in this song is when she says ” I got hot sauce in my bag, swag” No she does not Literlly have hot sauce in her bag this is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration to her unique and outstanding style. This song became controversial because is speaks a lot about political and social issues, mainly having to due with the powerful message Beyonce was giving.
