Part II (On the Run)- As awful as Bonnie and Clyde 1.0 was, this is somehow worse. Like how do you not look back at that piece of trash and be like "needs an update!" It hurts my feelings because "Crazy in Love" is one of the best rap/pop collabos of all time. He has had two instant classics in this exact genre recently (New York State of Mind and Young Forever) and yet this is the laziness getting served up?
The song doesn't even pretend to try to be a hit. Fine. Play it that way. But it is soooo annoying and indulgent:
"Who wants that perfect love story anyway, anyway?
Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché
Who wants that hero love that saves the day, anyway?
Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché"
I don't think either of them understand irony.
And clearly not:
"I don't care if we on the run
Baby as long I'm next to you
And if loving you is a crime
Tell me why do I bring out
The best in you"
and
"I hear sirens while we mAnnotateake love
Loud as hell, but they don't know
They're nowhere near us
I will hold your heart and your Annotategun
I don't care if they come, noooo"
How rough ridin' annoying is this played out (to borrow a phrase...."Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché") theme? YOU ARE NOT OUTLAWS! YOU ARE WELL KNOWN CELEBRITIES! YOU ARE COLLABOING WITH A PREACHER'S DAUGHTER/MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
Rick! Someone wake up Rick on the couch! Jay is making Beyonce say:
"I don't care if they give me life
I get all of my life from you
And if loving you had a price
I would pay my life for you"
I guess this is where Crazy in Love ends up.
