DJ Khaled dropped a surprise new track, “Top Off,” from his upcoming album, Father of Asahd, early on Friday morning. It’s a song that’s destined to be a hit thanks to the star power of its features: rapper Future, Beyoncé, and her husband Jay Z — and in news that will surprise absolutely no one, Queen Bey is the undisputed clear star of the track. Although Bey graciously shares the song with two of hip hop’s favorite rappers, when she begins to drop bars, the game is basically over — confirming that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is not only the queen of our hearts (and maybe everything) but also that she’s your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. While the Internet was thrilled by Bey’s dexterous rapping skills, their excitement over the new song was only rivaled by the interest they had in the possible subtext possibly aimed at Kim Kardashian West, Drake, and Tiffany Haddish in some of Beyoncé’s verses. As reported by Vulture, Beyoncé makes good use of her opening lines to possibly take shots at Drake. After first declaring that she’s the only lady on the track and also the realest, Beyoncé gets to work with lines like: “I break the internet, top two and I ain’t number two,” she growls. She could be addressing Drake’s braggadocio on his song “Gyalchester,” where he claims, “I know I said top five, but I’m top two, And I’m not two and I got one.” Drake, no stranger to being put in his place, is a noted member of the Bey Hive, so it’s highly possible that any lyrical nod from Beyoncé would actually delight his heart and soul. She doesn’t name anyone explicitly, which makes this dig two-fold when you take into consideration that Beyoncé says “I break the internet,” a possible reference to Kim Kardashian West’s notorious “Break the Interent” Paper Magazine cover, which has made the phrase practically synonymous with the reality tv celebutante. Take note, Kim K — Beyoncé is top two and she’s definitely not number two. Tiffany Haddish, whose gregarious exuberance and recent ascent to fame has made her a joy on the talk show circuit, recently shared a couple Beyoncé anecdotes with the kind of candor that is usually not seen by those who want to remain close to the queen. But this is a life decision that Haddish seems to believe merited a gentle warning from Beyoncé in “Top Off,” who cautions that “if they’re tryna party with the queen,they gon’ have to sign a nondisclosure.” It’s totally possible that Beyoncé was just being general. But whether Beyonce intended to aim this at any one person or not, Haddish took to her Twitter to pay her respects to the queen. TGIF, indeed! DJ Khaled kicked off the weekend a day early with a new song featuring Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Future. Beyonce and Jay-Z’s Sexy RomanceRead article“Top Off,” which was released on Friday, March 2, begins with Future, 34, rapping about taking “the top off the Maybach” before trading lines with Jay-Z, 48, about outrunning the police in a convertible. “’61 with the thing off / Me and Blue havin’ a sing-off,” the Roc Nation founder raps, referencing his 6-year-old daughter with Beyoncé. He then quotes lyrics from the late Prince’s “Raspberry Beret” to boast about his car, rapping, “That’s a raspberry beret / The kind you find in a secondhand store / That’s a vintage piece / Kind that make haters kiss their teeth / You can’t buy this new.” Celebrity Music Video CouplesRead articleAfter the second chorus, Jay-Z introduces Queen Bey, 36, joking that she’s the first lady. “Ridin’ ‘round town with the FLOTUS … Bey, put these f–kboys on notice,” he raps. “I break the internet / Top two and I ain’t number two,” Beyoncé sings, later calling herself a “triple threat.” The power couple previously teamed up with DJ Khaled, 42, on his 2017 single “Shining.” “Top Off” serves as the first single off the music producer’s upcoming album, Father of Asahd, the name of which is inspired by his 16-month-old son with fiancée Nicole Tuck. The father-son duo are shown sitting in a convertible with the top off on the artwork for the upbeat track. 10 Best Albums of 2017Read articleThe release of “Top Off” comes two days after the Italian newspaper Il Giorno reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z may announce their long-awaited joint album next week. They are also reportedly planning a world tour together for this summer. Beyoncé, JAY-Z and Future appear on DJ Khaled's new song "Top Off," which he released early this morning. The star-studded collab marks the first single off the producer's upcoming album, Father of Asahd. The high-energy track is full of attitude and braggadocio. Hov delivers a verse where he shouts out Meek Mill, his and Bey's daughter Blue Ivy and his insane $91,000 wine bill, while Future hops on the refrains, boasting about taking the top off his Maybach. Bey's smooth vocals add a refreshing break to their back and forth, but she carries the same swagger as her rapper collaborators. "I'm the only lady here, still the realest n***a in the room," she sings in her first line.
