Here’s a recap of the prior chapters, which have been written into their songs for the past 15 years.
Largely a hip-hop album - Queen Bey is great at rapping, just like everything else - the new record and accompanying tour have been excitedly greeted as the latest chapter in the couple’s romantic saga. That’s as true as ever as Jay and Bey flaunt and taunt all the speculation around them on their new collaborative record, “Everything Is Love,” which they released in June under the moniker the Carters (his real name is Shawn Carter, while she changed hers to Beyoncé Knowles-Carter). Of course, we had two other good (and friggin’ adorable!) clues the couple had patched things up: Their twin daughter and son, Rumi and Sir, joined big-sister Blue Ivy in the Carter household a little over a year ago.īeyond the sacrament of the twins’ widely reported birth, though, we can only speculate on the state of their marriage based on their music. Beyonc, 1627886 Shazams, featuring on Justin Timberlake Essentials, and JAY-Z Essentials Apple Music. Rumors of him cheating on her not only became hot gossip, but also became top lyrical fodder for their respective 2016-17 solo albums, “Lemonade” and “4:44” - the former a masterpiece, and the latter a better record than it was made out to be. Listen to Part II (On The Run) by JAY Z Feat. Paul, and to some of her die-hard fans another five or 10 years would be fine by them.ĭescribed by USA Today as a “summer tour makes couples therapy feel like karaoke night,” the 36-city trek has been positioned as proof the golden pop star and the mogul rapper are indeed happy together again after he did her wrong. It’s been five years since he played to 9,000 hip-hop lovers at Xcel Energy Center in St. It’s been only two years since 35,000 fans were mesmerized by her hi-fi concert at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, but to her die-hard legion that’s too long a wait. Bank Stadium, part of their much publicized On the Run II Tour. Why talk to the media about your personal life when you can sell a few million records singing about it instead? It’s a creative and commercial formula the superstar couple have followed over and over, and now they’re bringing it to the stage, too.īey and Jay’s marriage comes to the fore in Minneapolis this week as they make their first Minnesota appearance together Wednesday night at U.S. Perhaps no celebrity couple have been more tight-mouthed to the press about their relationship and yet loose-lipped in their songs than Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Or so we’re led to believe by their music. And now, apparently, they’re sound again. The 03 Bonnie and Clyde: Hov and B holler. So lets lock this down like its supposed to be.
When Im off track, mami is keeping me focused. Then they got serious despite demanding careers, eagerly started a family and survived a spat of infidelity. Whatever she lacks Im right over her shoulder. Who wants that perfect love story anyway, anyway? Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché Who wants that hero love that saves the day, anyway?
