Complex
reports

The
legendary
R&B
singer
bookends
Jiggaman’s
quite
intimate
verse
that
seemingly
spoke
to
a
separation
between
him
and
his
wife
of
16
years,
Beyoncé.
Jay-Z
—
born
Sean
Carter
—
delivers
his
lyrics
more
like
a
poet
than
a
rapper
as
he
begins
his
verse,
“Life
don’t
taste
the
same
without
you/Tears
in
my
champagne
‘bout
you/Quit
playing
girl,
you
know
I’m
crazy
‘bout
you.”
Don’t
tell
us
you’re
cheating
again,
Jay.
He
continued
his
purposely
lazy
flow,
“You
know
that
week
you
ran
back
to
your
mama
house,
ask
my
friend,
they
can
vouch/Slept
on
the
couch
‘cause
the
bed
ain’t
a
bed
without
you.”
The
masterful
MC
then
focuses
on
a
possible
reason
for
his
reckless
ways,
his
father,
Andis
Reeves.
“Love
you
for
my
life,
and
I
put
that
on
my
dead/Put
that
on
my
daddy’s
New
Port,
cigarettes/He
blew
cancer
rings,
I
got
toxic
traits/Look
who
coaxed
the
ghost
out
my
body,
got
me
straight/I
don’t
want
no
smoke,
baby
girl
you
fire/Can’t
end
up
like
my
folks,
nah,”
he
spits
before
D’Angelo

vocals

The
song
has
been
met
with
mixed
reviews,
as
one
YouTube
commenter
declared
the
song
didn’t
need
Jay’s
verse.
“As
a
huge
Hov
fan,
all
that
I
can
say
is
that
this
song
does
just
fine
without
his
contribution.
It’s
beautifully
done.”
Another
added,
“This
D’Angelo’s
world
that
Jay
visited!”
An
additional
commenter
claimed
the
tune,
“[Sounded]
like
Jay
crashed
D’Angelo
session
“
Some
fans
weren’t
feeling
the
track
with
or
without
the
“Song
Cry”
rapper’s
input.
One
commenter
complained,
“This
could
have
gone
in
my
“watch
later”
playlist,
and
stayed
there.
Foreeevvvvaaa.”
Jay
and
Bey
haven’t
been
shy
about
their
marital
issues.
Beyoncé
poured
her
soul
into
her
award-winning
album
Lemonade
in
2016,
succeeded
by
Hov’s
4;44
the
following
year.
On
his
critically
acclaimed
project,
the
Brooklyn
billionaire
confirmed
his
philandering
ways
and
apologized
profusely
for
his
misdeeds.

The
Queen
released
her
2022
album
Renaissance,
an
ode
to
Black
queerness.
In
“Plastic
Off
The
Sofa,”
she
references
their
marriage
and
the
public
scrutiny
it
faces.
In
the
beautifully
composed
song,
she
croons,
“I
know
nobody’s
perfect,
so
I’ll
let
you
be,
I’ll
let
you
be/It’s
the
way
that
you
wear
your
emotions
on
both
of
your
sleeves,
’til
the
face
you
make
when
I
tell
you
that
I
had
to
leave
…
We
don’t
need
the
world’s
acceptance.
They’re
too
hard
on
me,
they’re
too
hard
on
you,
boy.”
Jay
and
D’Angelo’s
single for
The
Book
of
Clarence,
starring
LaKeith
Stanfield
and
Teyana
Taylor,
is
accompanied
by
music
from
Lil
Wayne,
Doja
Cat,
Kodak
Black,
Jorja
Smith,
Shabba
Ranks
and
Kid
Cudi.
The
film,
produced
in
part
by
Hov,
is
now
in
theatres
nationwide,
but
the
period
piece
is
also
available
on
streaming
platforms.
The
“Big
Pimpin”
rapper
reactivated
his
Instagram
account
in
August
2023
to
share
the
movie’s
trailer.
We
wonder
if
Bey
will
do
a
little
promo
for
her
man’s
movie,
but
either
way,
her
hubby
needs
to
stop
playing
in
our
girl’s
face.
And
if
he
doesn’t,
Bey,
get
yo’
lick
back,
girl.
