New Song: Jay Z & Kanye West ft. Beyonce – ‘Lift Off’…

“Lift off we have a lift off!”

While sitting comfortably on their respective thrones, Jay Z and Kanye West team up with the Queen of them all for ‘Lift Off’, lifted from their joint venture ‘Watch the Throne’. Very happy to report the full track does not disappoint from the brief snippet released last week. Beyonce opens with, “We gonna take it to the moon, to the stars, how many people you know can take it this far? I’m supercharged about to take this whole thing to mars!” against a swelling backdrop of production. Kanye and Jay Z take turns killing their individual verses with unmistakable bravado, ending the song with eerie staccato reverbs from B. It’s a great jumping point for the album as everything about ‘Lift Off’ works!

The LP released today, will soon be followed by a joint tour across North America. The tour will kick off October 29 in Atlanta, GA and end in Vancouver. Nearly 20 of the previously-announced dates were scrapped, leaving around 19 shows to go ahead. Listen to the track and sound off below.

I bought the album this morning and i love it. They need to release this as a single. Its sure to win best Rap/sung collab at the Grammys if they even still have that category.

Dnt Like this, Beyonce doesn’t sound good on this at all…
This whole album tbqh is nothing short of overhyped mediocrity.
MadMuScientist

also i’m a huge KANYE fan and must say he shined like the star I
knew he would be on this whole entire album..

Almost like it’s his album featuring Jay. I was left salivating for his next masterpiece after listening to this.

Ugh, hurts to say this! Watch the throne was overhyped. Still a good album but both Jay and Kanye were lyrically lacking. They both have solo projects that are better than WTT, but the production is pretty crazy!

beyonce does not fit on this song it needed a more edgy voice for the chorus…
Mary Shriver

I didn’t like Beyonce’s vocals on this song, at first. After listening to her lone harmonies, this is a hot track. Definitely something us Brooklynites are going to be bumping at our end of the summer roof top parties…

Beyone do not do good hooks this should be rihanna

I can’t quiet put my finger to it but I think the song is lacking.
Sassy24

I like it

I Think Bey Fit The Song Perfectly But Yet Maybe She Should Have Left That To Basic Ass Rihanna.
Sean

Am I the only person who thinks this song SUCKS??!? The beat is dope, especially the change at the end, but Kanye needs to stop singing, he sounds HORRIBLE, Jay’s Lil verse wasn’t nothing to write home about, and Bey just didn’t fit on the chorus. I agree when someone said Rihanna should have sang the hook 4 this. Her voice probably would fit better 4 this song.

I’ve downloaded the album because I loved that “Otis” song but haven’t listened to it yet, not that big a Jay Z or Kanye fan. Not liking this song either.
TruthTeller

Love the song! Thank goodness it wasn’t Rihanna`s nasally shitty vocals. The song required strong crystal clear ,and Beyonce has just that.
Mikey

I had the same initial reaction about Beyonce’s vocals when I first heard the track until I really got into it. I think B’s vocals add more realness and rawness to the track. Rihanna would have sounded very nasal and overly commercial.

Wow glad to know I’m not the only one who thought rihanna sounded like she had the flu on run this town! But she always sound like she has the flu
BeyStarlet

Please Beyonce, take it (whatever “it” is) to the moon, and never come back…
NGB

I’m gonna cop the album since they are my two favorite rappers but I gotta admit I’m disappointed in this song.
tris

i thought i was the only one who thought beyonce’s voice doesnt fit… for some reason the only collab of hers i’ve ever liked was 03 bonnie and clyde.. riri’s edgy voice just fits on rap beats
Junior in Jamaica
