Rumor has Jay Z making an album length response to Beyonce’s vituperative Lemonade album, which was filled with angry Bey’s artistic castration of her cheating husband. (In one of her classier moves, Beyonce sings you can “watch my fat ass twist boy/ As I bounce to the next dick boy.” What does the First Lady — Beyonces’s biggest fan — tell Malia about that?) The jaded and knowledgeable say the first couple of hip-hop, Jay Z and Queen Bey, are just playing folks — amping the drama reality style. You know, for the money. (Lemonade, of course, is exclusively on Tidal.)
That works with the rumor of a rap riposte from Jay Z, who could take the tired idea of a rap beef, and raise it (lower it?) to new, inter-marriage territory. Psychiatrists interviewed say the album war will be excellent for the emotional health of their child, who is being groomed already by Ivy League think tanks as the ultimate test case for a final say on whether money — despite all else — will buy happiness. Good luck, Blue Ivy! Jay Z will need a name for his record, which will depend on whether he takes an aggressive (poisonous) or conciliatory (semi-apologetic) approach. Either way Jay Z’s album won’t be called “Sorry.” He might go with something throwback like:
“Me give my heart to a woman? / Not for nothin, never happen / I’ll be forever mackin” #Big_Pimpin pic.twitter.com/gglA0wR24j

Or step up on the honor bar. Gotta wait and see:
“I never asked for nothin I don’t demand of myself /…Honesty, loyalty, friends and then wealth” #JustifyMyThug pic.twitter.com/m7UAEzQ6lW
