Beyoncé channels Prince on the funky “Schoolin’ Life,” one of three additional songs included on the deluxe edition of her new album 4, available June 28 exclusively at Target. Written and produced by The-Dream, Professor B teaches a lesson about life on the ’80s-inspired beat. Class is in session.
@Real Issh, u see how a stupid stan made u hate ciara when she had N O T H I N G to do with this simple comment made by an even simpler person (go after the person who said it not after a random artist who is living her life w/ stupid stan fans)
Fag, how are you gonna come at anyone with your tranny, Wendy Williams jank looking ass and even worse stan for the biggest FLOP of the century? How much did Ciara’s last album sell? When’s the last time she won a grammy? Where were her singles on the charts last year. #OOP
@Nick, How are you going to call someone a fag? are these some of your own personal insecurities? Do you like it up the ass too and feel less insecure by hating on someone else? I’m gay and can obviously tell you lack intelligence when you have to belittle yourself to such a hateful gesture.. Regardless of what the argument is, you lost when you play name-calling games.. you need to check yourself before one you get your ass whooped and it happens to be from a gay person, how would you live with yourself then?
@Twitter.com/CiaraMedlies, I’m wit you @Nick. C-Error could die & the media probably wouldn’t wanna cover it. The next time you’re on Ci Ci’s please tell him that the real artist with 16 Grammys, 3 #1 albums (Soon to be 4) & gender clarity said: “This is for them bitter somethings, it’s not over yet”…i’m sure he can still flip burgers somewhere.
@ed, Ciara slays everyone of your freaking lives so stop the hate. every single one of you must admit this is by far not beyonce’s best. its all right, but this sound works better for someone like prince.
@You think it but I’ll say it, Who knows ? Did she pay the people that wrote it ? Yes .. Does she sang it better than the person that wrote it ? Of course .
waaatttttt!!!!!!!!! dis song is fire…. im jus pissed her music keeps leaking why dont people jus leave her 2 release music and go on bout ur business instead of trying to leak shit…. but da more u leak da more B FANS will support and buy her music
@killin, this happens with every big artist. and she didn’t get it that bad, some ppl in the past have had their work get leaked months before it is due for release
This is awesome! To be quite honest, I think this might be her best album. I seriously love EVERYTHING that I’ve heard so far. I cannot wait until I get this next Tuesday!
HA I like this! The production has a 80′s or early 90′s kinda sound. I’ve heard the entire album and I love it! Beyonce has really mature a lot on this project. There’s so many different sounds she used. From the production and songwriting to the background arrangement to the way she’s singing. B Day was always my favorite, but 4 just kills it! She’s reminding me why I’ve been listening to her since Destiny’s Child first LP which is my favorite of theirs. Great job Beyonce this was worth the wait. Getting my copy Tuesday.
“This is for them pretty somethings
Living in a fastlane, see you when you crash babe
This is for them sexy somethings
That body can’t always get ya out of everything
This is for them bitter somethings
Stop living in regret, baby, it’s not over yet”-
It’s funny how Dream’s beats, productions, lyrics, etc are SO much better on Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez’ albums but completely terrible on Ciara’s latest. The difference is just night and day. Oh well.
Wow!! I like this! It kinda sounds like Prince. I wasn’t sure if I was gonna get the deluxe version cause it basically had like 4 versions of ‘Run the World’ and I HATED that song, but this makes me really wanto to get.
People clown The Dream a lot but that man is a beast with the pen. He should stick to writing cause that’s what he is good at.

@Luis, The artist does make changes to demos let’s not forget that. How many artists use demos the majority of them. But I ain’t here to discuss that because Dream’s names will be on the credits, right.
i really like this track, i am now on the 4th listen now which is something in my books, i agree with @Johnathan i have only just realised how good his stuff sounds when he works with really good talented artists, nhot saying that cici is cack but she can’t bring the tracks as well as J Hud and B. Man i can’t wait to cop the LP now, at first when i heard the first two leaks i was thinking that i would not buy her new LP but now with the last three that i have heard from the new LP i can say that B wilol be getting my money once again. She is one of the few artists and i mean a few that i would rather wait for the release of the LP that download it illegally.
@wow!, I was thinking something similar but Beyonce is smart for not letting the Dream do her WHOLE album though, Ciara and Mariah albums weren’t bad but involving more producers would have helped cause the dream not a great writer all the time and does recycle beats.
even this Schoolin life sounds recycled but it sounds like another dream song rather than something else on 4
Really loving the sound from B on this 1 a lot cause it’s real funky & jamming! I agree they should have put it on the regular version & it would be a great single if they used it as 1! Also The-Dream has really been inspired by Prince a lot with his current sound & songwriting!

Beyonce takes risks because she is confident in her music, and the proof is in the pudding, I’ve been listening to 4 without skipping any songs for a week, as a pre-release party, I’m going to buy 4 of her album 4! #BeeHive #KINGB

i am tired how u people always bringing down ciaraa if u dont like her dont need to speak negative abou her yea she hasnt been doing good but she is hell of a singer dancer and performer. I would any day prefer a ciara song over any other bc she is true talent that is underestimatedd. her voice is just amazing and she is the only artist that i have liked all the songs she has put out! ;) ANYWAZ BEYONCE THIS ALBUM IS NOT LOOKING LIKE A GOOD ONEE BUT RUN THE WORLD IS THE SHIET GREAT BEATTT ;)
Wow why did Columbia leave off these great tracks? I like the tracks on the standard alot, but these are great also. It would be cool if these were on the standard!
i think this song and hopefully the other bonuses may save her out of control album… this joint channels Prince but is original not too over produced and feel real yet funky
How come some of her best songs (“Save the Hero”, “That’s Why You’re Beautiful” and now “Schoolin’ Life”) end up to be additional tracks? This is the kinda music this generation needs… Yet, we give ‘em “Run the World (Girls”. I love Beyoncé and I will buy the deluxe edition as soon as it hits stores.
I love Beyonce, but all her new music is sub-par. I understand the transition into a new style and sound, but her voice is better suited for the r&b/pop scene. Thats why 1+1 works, as well as “Best Thing I Never Had” This sounds like a bad cover of an old Prince song. Hopefully her other songs sound better
Okaii I think she is tryna find her self .. which isnt workn .. at some point in the song i kinda like it ,.. but then it just falls flat !!
Ummh speechless .. i think beyonce can do much better !!
Love the song but dont be fooled by the good vibes of the 80′s sounds shes offering theres only three songs that have that vibe on the album this song is included thats it. the rest are burried in piano laced ballads and techno dance infused beats. I mean the lyrics are like the rest of her work extrodinary but the beats are starting to lose there luster except for the very few like this one here…..that aside her album was really good just tooooo slow wish she had more like this one on the album 3 was tooo few
I don’t understand how people R goin in on each other over people that aren’t their bills…. (kanye shrugg) I’ve been a fan of Ms. Knowles since Day 1 BUT she’s not gonna hit EVERYTIME. She’s a gr8 talent so no matter what she does she’s still gonna be that bitch! Can’t wait till the concert. In my opinion Ciara is ONLY talented in dancing, with that I think she would dance a hurrican around Bey & Keri, on the other hand Bey can sing them both to the grave & Keri………ummmm I think she should stick to writing. Everbody isn’t “artist” material. AT THE END OF THE DAY all 3 of these women have WAY MORE money than all of us so who gives a fuck who’s better…

i really like this track, i am now on the 4th listen now which is something in my books, i agree with @Johnathan i have only just realised how good his stuff sounds when he works with really good talented artists, nhot saying that cici is cack but she can’t bring the tracks as well as J Hud and B. Man i can’t wait to cop the LP now, at first when i heard the first two leaks i was thinking that i would not buy her new LP but now with the last three that i have heard from the new LP i can say that B wilol be getting my money once again. She is one of the few artists and i mean a few that i would rather wait for the release of the LP that download it illegally.

@wow!, I was thinking something similar but Beyonce is smart for not letting the Dream do her WHOLE album though, Ciara and Mariah albums weren’t bad but involving more producers would have helped cause the dream not a great writer all the time and does recycle beats.
even this Schoolin life sounds recycled but it sounds like another dream song rather than something else on 4

Really loving the sound from B on this 1 a lot cause it’s real funky & jamming! I agree they should have put it on the regular version & it would be a great single if they used it as 1! Also The-Dream has really been inspired by Prince a lot with his current sound & songwriting!

Beyonce takes risks because she is confident in her music, and the proof is in the pudding, I’ve been listening to 4 without skipping any songs for a week, as a pre-release party, I’m going to buy 4 of her album 4! #BeeHive #KINGB

i am tired how u people always bringing down ciaraa if u dont like her dont need to speak negative abou her yea she hasnt been doing good but she is hell of a singer dancer and performer. I would any day prefer a ciara song over any other bc she is true talent that is underestimatedd. her voice is just amazing and she is the only artist that i have liked all the songs she has put out! ;) ANYWAZ BEYONCE THIS ALBUM IS NOT LOOKING LIKE A GOOD ONEE BUT RUN THE WORLD IS THE SHIET GREAT BEATTT ;)

June 22nd, 2011 at 10:42 pm
lets say that she has too many slow songs and ballads so that really not my preference i must say bday was her best

i think this song and hopefully the other bonuses may save her out of control album… this joint channels Prince but is original not too over produced and feel real yet funky

i like the sound however the sound should be done by a more retro diva… dare-i-say Mariah?

How come some of her best songs (“Save the Hero”, “That’s Why You’re Beautiful” and now “Schoolin’ Life”) end up to be additional tracks? This is the kinda music this generation needs… Yet, we give ‘em “Run the World (Girls”. I love Beyoncé and I will buy the deluxe edition as soon as it hits stores.

I love Beyonce, but all her new music is sub-par. I understand the transition into a new style and sound, but her voice is better suited for the r&b/pop scene. Thats why 1+1 works, as well as “Best Thing I Never Had” This sounds like a bad cover of an old Prince song. Hopefully her other songs sound better

@D0LLY LAM3,
So because at some points you like it then dont, you have come to the conclusion that BEYONCE is lost and trying to find herself?
You can sort out your hearing with an otologist but unfortunately no medicine can remedy your foolishness.
Sit down.

Love the song but dont be fooled by the good vibes of the 80′s sounds shes offering theres only three songs that have that vibe on the album this song is included thats it. the rest are burried in piano laced ballads and techno dance infused beats. I mean the lyrics are like the rest of her work extrodinary but the beats are starting to lose there luster except for the very few like this one here…..that aside her album was really good just tooooo slow wish she had more like this one on the album 3 was tooo few

I don’t understand how people R goin in on each other over people that aren’t their bills…. (kanye shrugg) I’ve been a fan of Ms. Knowles since Day 1 BUT she’s not gonna hit EVERYTIME. She’s a gr8 talent so no matter what she does she’s still gonna be that bitch! Can’t wait till the concert. In my opinion Ciara is ONLY talented in dancing, with that I think she would dance a hurrican around Bey & Keri, on the other hand Bey can sing them both to the grave & Keri………ummmm I think she should stick to writing. Everbody isn’t “artist” material. AT THE END OF THE DAY all 3 of these women have WAY MORE money than all of us so who gives a fuck who’s better…
