To that point, the braggadocio continues on “Boss,” in which Jay-Z gets to air his grievances with Drake and Kanye turning their backs on Tidal (which, yes still blows as a concept) and Beyoncé simply gets to talk about how she “got that dinero on mind.” Bitch, get in line with J. But, in the end, it’s really just shouting to the mountaintops about their own wealth. For some reason really into name checking luxury watch brands like Patek Philippe (phrased as Philippe Patek in this case) and Richard Mille, Jay and Bey are endlessly fond of shouting their level of wealth to the mountaintops as, in their minds, an encouragement to other black people to follow suit. So they begin with “Summer” (appropriate considering the time of the record’s release and their current On the Run II Tour), a slowed down track that pays homage to beach imagery past, most notably “Drunk In Love,” as Bey grossly encourages, “Up and down motion, come swim in my ocean, yeah yeah.” All right, we get that you’re in love anew, but can you just bring it down a notch? We all know you’re not really living that porno lifestyle, for whenever people talk a lot about sex, it usually means they’re not having it or it’s not that great (I should know).Īt the very least, however, they have the decency to follow up this bathetic “love song” with “Apeshit,” the single that’s more of a true testament to what their relationship represents: the financial benefit and convenience of being a power couple, even though it appears that Bey composes both sides of the yin yang. From the Solange elevator scandal to Lemonade to the controversy surrounding Bey being a feminist yet choosing to forgive the man who cheated on her multiple times, there’s been no shortage of material for a collaborative (though it feels like basically just a Beyoncé endeavor) album of a “therapeutic” nature. And one does kind of have to wonder what that might have sounded like, if it had been released in, say, 2014–all filled with youthful naïveté and Beyoncé pretending not to notice Jay-Z’s then wandering eye (which has swiftly been plucked out, for all intents and purposes, as he seems to have bowed quite nicely down to Beyoncé and her matriarchal world).īut we’ll never know now, the duo has been through “too much,” or at least staged a lot for the public. It’s the album that’s been in the works for a while, at least since before Lemonade usurped the highly profitable concept of a joint Jay-Z and Beyoncé record. ![]()
