Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

"'''Suga Mama'''" is a song by American singer [[Beyoncé Knowles]] for her second studio album, ''[[B'Day (Beyoncé album)|B'Day]]'' (2006). It was written by Knowles, [[Rich Harrison]], and [[Makeba Riddick]], and produced by Harrison and Knowles. "Suga Mama" is influenced by 1970s [[funk]] and rock music. An R&B and [[soul music|soul]] song, "Suga Mama" is built on a [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] and [[jazz]]y [[Beat (music)|beat]], and [[sampling (music)|samples]] [[Jake Wade and the Soul Searchers]]' song "Searching for Soul", written by Chuck Middleton. Lyrically, it features the female protagonist willing to pay large sums of money to keep her [[Romantic interest|love interest]] contented.

"Suga Mama" was generally well received by music critics, who noted it as one of the highlights from ''B'Day'' and complimented Harrison's production. However, there was some limited criticism about Knowles' vocal delivery on the song. Though not released as a single, "Suga Mama" had a music video filmed in [[black-and-white]], and directed by [[Melina Matsoukas]] and Knowles, for the ''[[B'Day Anthology Video Album]]''. It received a limited release to British music TV channels. "Suga Mama" was added on the [[set list]] of Knowles' world tour, [[The Beyoncé Experience]] (2007).

==Recording==
Knowles enlisted Harrison as one of the five co-producers of ''B'Day'', and she arranged for him, [[Sean Garrett]] and [[Rodney Jerkins]] to be given individual rooms at [[Sony Music Studios]] in New York City. Knowles said she fostered "healthy competition" between the producers by going into each of their rooms and commenting on the "great beats" the others were creating.<ref>((Cite magazine|access-date=September 11, 2008|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57341/its-a-celebration|title=It's A Celebration|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|publisher=[[Prometheus Global Media]]|date=September 4, 2006|archive-date=September 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140915073853/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57341/its-a-celebration|url-status=live))</ref> She and Harrison had previously collaborated on her 2003 single "[[Crazy in Love (Beyoncé Knowles song)|Crazy in Love]]", which uses a prominent [[soul music]] sample in a similar manner to "Suga Mama".<ref name=FOXNews/> [[Fox News Channel|Fox News]] said that "Suga Mama" and "[[Freakum Dress]]", Harrison's other contribution to ''B'Day'' "fall short of originality but mimic the [[The Chi-Lites|Chi Lites]]((sic)) percussion section [of "Crazy in Love"] yet again", adding, "Harrison is like the [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] of soul, constantly pulling out forgotten gems of the past for sampling [...] You can't help but think: Thank God someone wrote music in the past that can be repurposed now."<ref name=FOXNews>((Cite web|access-date=September 11, 2008|url=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,208884,00.html|title=First Look: Beyonce's New Album 'B'Day'|publisher=[[Fox News Channel]].

She gets up and begins to [[pole dance]]. The remainder of the video presents Knowles dancing on top of a sugar cube, dancing with backing dancers whose faces are partially concealed, lying in a circle of light, and riding a [[mechanical bull]]. Knowles said she is meant to "slowly become a woman" during the video, adding "Well, a sexier woman – I'm always a woman."<ref name=MTVNews-Apr2007/>

Knowles rehearsed the pole dancing using two ballet bars, which was when it was decided to add a pole above her head to form an arc. Though she is from [[Texas]], she had never previously been on mechanical bull. There were no problems during warm-ups, but the man operating the bull during the video shoot programmed it to go faster, causing Knowles to fall off when she tried to perform tricks such as lifting up her foot, leaning back and turning around. To minimize the time Knowles spent on the bull, the director shot the sequence at twelve [[film frame|frame]]s per second (see [[frame rate]]) and Knowles sang twice as quickly, but it wasn't until 4:00&nbsp;am that they completed work.<ref name=MTVNews-Apr2007>((Cite web|access-date=August 31, 2008 |url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/b/beyonce/videos_07/news_feature_040207/index.jhtml |title=Behind the B'Day Videos |publisher=MTV News.
