Jay-Z gives a hip-hop tribute to Beyoncé in new track with Kendrick Lamar



Jay-Z wants his fans to know the Carters are on top of the world.
Days after his wife Beyonce made mention of their marriage in her latest track, Bow Down, the rapper is rhyming about his wife of four years in a hip-hop tribute.  
'Up in the clouds, me and my spouse/Rumours on the ground gettin' too loud,' he spits in Kendrick Lamar's remixed hit B**** Don't Kill My Vibe. 

The title is hardly a romantic indication of the musician's love for his other half, but follows on the heels of Beyonce's own reference to her husband in her own offering released this week, entitled Bow Down/I Been On.
Her three minute, 34 second clip includes the lines: 'I took my time to live my life/But don’t think I’m just his little wife/Don’t get it twisted/This is my s***/Bow down b******'.

While the braggadocious new track addresses her absence from the music industry and asserts her authority as Queen Bee of the charts, following the birth last year of her now 14-month-old daugter, Blue Ivy.
Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, and Beyonce have slowly become more open about their relationship following their 2008 nuptials.
The singer last month premiered her HBO documentary Life is but a Dream, which featured behind-the-scenes footage from her performances and private video diaries including exerpts about her marriage and motherhood.
The star recently revealed she is 'surprised' by how much she has learnt from her daughter, and can't believe how much being a mother has changed her view of herself and given her a 'real purpose'.
The 31-year-old star told the April issue of Shape magazine: 'I just adore being a mother, hearing her say 'Mama' and call me when she needs something. It makes me feel like I have a real purpose here. I enjoy all the things people warned me would be tough to handle.
'I'm most surprised by how much she's taught me. She's only a year old and I've learned so much about myself from her. Giving birth was one of my biggest fears, and having Blue forced me to face it. And now I recognise the strength I have. She teaches me to focus on the things that truly matter, like family, and to pay attention to each moment, because they go by so quickly.'
Beyonce revealed she 'absolutely' hopes to have another child once she finishes her upcoming world tour The Mrs Carter Show, which kicks off Belgrade, Serbia on April 15 and is currently scheduled to wrap up in Brooklyn, New York on August 5, 2013.
She said: 'I'll probably start after this tour. We'll see if it happens.'
