Which is funny, given how much his Watch the Throne partner Jay-Z talks up one girl and one girl alone. To an ever-increasing extent, his rap fixates on the idea of sanctioned polyamory, in which sleeping around jibes with having a committed relationship. The 2008 Woody Allen flick depicts Javier Bardem, improbably, arranging to love and live with Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz-together, under the same roof.
On the lyrics interpretation website Rap Genius, someone has slapped an image of the poster for Vicky Cristina Barcelona on that last Kanye couplet. For example, she mispronounces " Basquiat," and is "learning a new word-it's yacht." The only vision of domestic bliss we get is decidedly non-traditional: "I'm a freak, huh, rock star life / The second girl with us, that's our wife." Kanye raps about wanting to change the way the world works Jay raps about conquering it The rest of his verse reserves its acid for the opposite sex, describing a relationship with a girl who was too déclassé to appreciate Kanye's interest in life's finer things. Watch the Throne 's other principal, Kanye West, serves up his own version of that same line earlier on "That's My Bitch." "I paid for them titties, get your own," he drawls, twisting Jay's idea of ownership-via-romance to romance-via-ownership-of-body-parts. "Now shoo children, stop looking at her tits / Get ya own dog, ya heard?" Crass, sure, but also protective. "You too dope for any of those civilians," he raps. In one song, "That's My Bitch," he says her portrait should be hung in the MoMA. And on Watch the Throne, the new, chart-topping LP co-authored by Carter-better known as Jay Z-he gives a few, loving shout-outs to the wife.
"Still all up on each other, ain't a damn thing changed," Knowles sang on "Countdown" off of her recent album 4, a record largely devoted to the idea of devotion. Sean Carter and Beyoncé Knowles were married about three years ago according to both spouses, the arrangement has been going pretty well.
