Jay Z has paid a musical tribute to his wife Beyonce in his new track called…’B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe’. Oh, that wasn’t quite as romantic as we’d hoped
We love music’s coolest power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce. And they love each other too. And they’ve proved that love by rapping about each other in their new tracks. Because when you’re global superstars, some flowers from the garage and putting a bath on isn’t going to cut it.
In the weird song the former Destiny’s Child star raps the following:
“I took my time to live my life but don’t think I’m just his little wife. Don’t get it twisted this is my sh*t.”
Probably in reference to the stick she got for calling her upcoming tour The Mrs Carter Show.
And now Jay-Z has returned the favour and given his wife of four years a ‘shout out’ in his guest rap on Kendrick Lamar’s new track called ‘B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe’. Shame about the title.
The artist formerly known as Shawn Carter ‘spits’ these lyrics: “Up in the clouds, me and my spouse / Rumors on the ground gettin’ too loud”
“Please turn them s–ts down, can’t hear myself think / Turbulence, s–t, almost spilled my drink.”
Which is genius because it rhymes and everything.
But Queen Bey wasn’t the only one to get referenced. Jay-Z also name-checks his close friend and actual president of the United States – Mr Barack Obama.
“Presidential pardon, name one n—a out there harder than him / I’ll wait, I’ve been in my weight like 20 years straight / I’ve been on my vibe like 20 years straight,”
Last September, Jay (yeah, we call him that, he said it’s fine) released a track on his website called ‘Glory’ where he rapped about Beyonce’s miscarriage and their daughter Blue Ivy.
“You’re my child with a child from Destiny’s Child,” he tells her, through the power of rap.
“Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you’d disappear/But nah baby you magic.”
“The most amazing feeling I feel/Words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real/ Maybe I paint the sky blue/My greatest creation was you. You. Glory.”
