New Song: Jay-Z & Kanye West featuring Beyonce – ‘Lift Off’

Published: Monday 8th Aug 2011 by Rashad

How ironic that three of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars ever would collaborate on a song about interplanetary travel.  While the world awaits the release of ‘Watch the Throne’, the track fans have been waiting for most is making its journey across the net.

With all the hype surrounding the track, we’ll let you decide if it lives up to its expectations:

Just having such heavyweights on one track obviously would yield pressure to deliver something great.  While the song is undeniably hot, it still feels like its missing something.  Maybe it’s one of those songs that takes seeing a good accompanying visual to help the listener appreciate the song more.

Either way, it would be interesting to see how this fares on charts if released.  Given the runaway success of ‘Run This Town’, the comparisons will be inevitable.

    “three of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars”? Last time I checked Beyonce was one of R&B’s biggest stars!

    YES I LOVE THIS SONG! Beyonce makes it ten times better, I reckon without her the song would suck!

  2. JAMIR21: BEY,RIH,GAGA,BRIT>>>>>>JANET !!! August 8, 2011

    I LOVE YOU BEYONCE !!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Aloyisious Divo August 8, 2011

    One of the best songs on the album. I think it was more about Bey than anything, but Kanye really delivered too. Jay-Z got the Michelle treatment. Either way it slays. I don’t think it should be compared to “Run the Town” since the songs are completely different but it surely will be.

    This song is awesome. Don’t know chartwise, but I think it will do very good. Hope it’s the next single. And to get the best effect, you have to have it loud and with headphones.

  18. Thedimplepuppet August 8, 2011

    It’s good but wasn’t Bruno Mars suppose to be on this track?

  19. YeaBey Got the True Tea August 8, 2011

    @THEDIMPLEPUPPET
    I was wondering the exact same thing….

  20. KD August 8, 2011

    (Beyoncé) We gon take it to the moon / Take it to the stars / How many people you know can take it this far? / I’m super charged / Bout to take this whole thing to Mars / Now we gon take it to the moon / Take it to the stars / You don’t know what we been through to make it this far / So many scars / I’m bout to take this whole thing to Mars (KW) Lift off / Lift off / Taking my coat off / Showin’ my tattoos / I’m such a show off / I feel the pain and then roll off / I got the whole city, they about to go off / How many ni**as with me up in this b**ch? / How many people wanna roll with me now? / Like you know na na na, you know me by now / Know me, know me by now (Beyoncé) We gon take it to the moon / Take it to the stars / How many people you know can take it this far? / I’m super charged / Bout to take this whole thing to Mars / Now we gon take it to the moon / Take it to the stars / You don’t know what we been through to make it this far / So many scars / I’m bout to take this whole thing to Mars (KW) Lift off / Like you know na na na, you know me by now / Know me, know me by now, you know me know me by now / Know me, know me by now… (JZ) Lift off / Rappers hear watch the throne / They gon be pissed off / Earth is boring to em / Sh*t is making my d**k soft / When you Earnhart as me eventually you hit a big wall / 5-4-3-2 we need fuel / Lift off (Beyoncé) We gon’ take it to the moon / Take it to the stars / How many people you know can take it this far? / I’m super charged / Bout to take this whole thing to Mars / Now we gon take it to the moon / Take it to the stars / You don’t know what we been through to make it this far / So many scars / I’m bout to take this whole thing to Mars (Countdown) 20 seconds and counting… / T minus 15 seconds, guidance is internal /
    12, 11, 10, 9, ignition sequence start / 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, all engines running / Lift off, we have a lift off / Lift off (repeating til end)

    Beyonce NEVER looks a Hot Mess…she has her bad days…YES…but she never looks a MESS!

    Sorry for putting numerous holes in your logic!

    HOW FAKE CAN ONE GET?

  23. JANET IS A WORLDWIDE FLOP (DEAL WITH IT) August 8, 2011

    @kim stfu you lil krim fan @yeabea and @lol yall mad because flop beyawnce is on this song which she f***** up

  24. KD August 8, 2011

    I do not see this song being released as a single…this song is very Beyonce-heavy and as a result if it were to be released people may just mistake it as being B’s song. Having said that I quite like…it is unlike what most of these “rappers” are releasing.

  25. YeaBey Got the True Tea August 8, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY
    No honey….Lots of people disagree with you (see LIFT OFF Trending WW on twitter)…actually YOU seem mad! You are pressed….PANCAKE ASS FLOP!!

    First off what in tha f*** do you know about GOOD music name me some of your favs if you say ke$ia ,LMAO,Selena Gomez,Miley Cyrus,Jonas Brothers, etc then you need not reply

    second say what you want about Beyonce but you cant say she is not/never been S*** even the biggest hater will not say that. Matter of fact what your definiton of s** appeal ?

  28. YeaBey Got the True Tea August 8, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY
    You are unbelievable! I SWEAR!! As if everyone doesn’t have their bad days…Boy please…

  29. KD August 8, 2011

    @THEDIMPLEPUPPET, @YEABEY

    Bruno Mars is credited on the song…so I think that people mistook his involvement in the song as him being a potential feature whereas he was only involved in the songwriting process.

    Werent you a “bey stan” yesterday? what happened? I KNOW! You were dragged to the pits of hell and back and you got mad and retaliated against BEYONCE when you yourself said you think its wrong for someone to hate an artist because you dislike their fans…

    F-A-K-E what does that spell POP ROYALTY!!

  36. 100% REAL August 8, 2011

    I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling this track right here. It was actually boring to me. I was looking for something that was going to have that “WOW” factor to it. It just didn’t do it for me. So far, I don’t like “Otis” and then this song right here doesn’t help either. I know it’s only two songs that we’ve heard so far from this album, but it doesn’t seem to be living up to it’s name from my perspective. I doubt that I will be getting this album.

  37. YeaBey Got the True Tea August 8, 2011

    EVERY CELEBRITY HAS BAD DAYS…EVERY. SINGLE . ONE! But I’m sure for every bad day BEY has there is like 20 good days to even it out

  67. trucie August 8, 2011

    Yeah this is horrible. Not feeling the heavyweight of the “hip-hop stars”. Beyonce as bland as she sounds is the best thing on the track but she really adds nothing to the track. In comparison to Run this Town and Empire State of Mind, this track is very subdued. Lacks that power punch for some reason. Maybe cuz Kanye took it upon himself to assist Bey in the vocals. Wtf?

  68. YeaBey Got the True Tea August 8, 2011

  84. Remey August 8, 2011

    This song was actually boring. It was dominated by Bey. It lacked balance between the artists. Run This Town offered a great mixture of balance between each artists’ lyrical delivery. No one mistook it to be a “Rihanna” song. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Both songs are completely different, but I just can’t see this as a single that captures the masses.

    It’s ok, I also feel like something is missing. I didn’t really like Run this Town, but it was better than this.

  93. Misfit August 8, 2011

    @ Nice_Gurl

    Lol! I like it, too. I see it doing well….

    How are you?

  94. Kim > Sicki Garbarj & Janet Shits On Beyonce, Rihanna & Brit B**** August 8, 2011

    @LOL Ctfuuuu @Misfit Lmaoooo
    @NiceGurl Yeah Um Back On Topic The Song Wasnt Balanced As Good As I wanted It To Be Its Like Beyonce Outshining Kanye & Jay Or Vice Versa But With Run this Town The Balance Was There

  95. lol August 8, 2011

    i like this song because it really doesnt sound like anything on the radio right now . Its not too formulaic or generic plus this is a crowd pleaser type of song . the type of song that can MOVE people and ger a reaction out of the audience . Imagine Yeezy,Jay,and Bey at Yankee stadium. Bey singin imma take it to the MOOOOOOOOON !! in front of a crowd of thousands. Yeah that would be nice

  96. nice_gurl August 8, 2011

    @MISFIT i’m good. Was Janet good? And I like the song. I guess it was a little unbalanced, but the vibe from the song was amazing. Live it would sound really good.

  97. Kim > Sicki Garbarj & Janet Shits On Beyonce, Rihanna & Brit B**** August 8, 2011

    @LOL I Agree After Listening To It Again Like Every Song Now A Days Are Too Much Carbon Copied Hopefully The Fact That It Is So Different Compared To Song Right Now I Hope That Can Help It Stay On The Charts !

  98. Kim > Sicki Garbarj & Janet Shits On Beyonce, Rihanna & Brit B**** August 8, 2011

    *SONGS*

  99. nice_gurl August 8, 2011

    @LOL….I agree….live would be amazing..the vocals would have to be on point and maybe echo machine.

  100. Misfit August 8, 2011

    @ Nice_Gurl

    She was amazing, as always! It was a great time! 🙂

    I think this song is a bit disjointed? But overall it works!

  101. Kim > Sicki Garbarj & Janet Shits On Beyonce, Rihanna & Brit B**** August 8, 2011

    @Misfit I Agree Everyone just Feels Something is Not In Place But It Pretty Good !

  102. lol August 8, 2011

    i hope jay and kanye bring bey and frnk ocean on tour with them . i think i might just give them fools 200 $ to see them in concert in september i know it gon be cold as hell but if Bey and especially Fankie make an appearance itll be all worth it

  103. Misfit August 8, 2011

    I agree with y’all on the live rendition of this song. That will be epic! 🙂

  104. 1+1 August 8, 2011

    does anyone know if beyonce has a collabo with rihanna? apart from the cancer collabo with everyone

  105. nice_gurl August 8, 2011

    @1+1 no she doesn’t

  106. blue August 8, 2011

    when this is released and it will be released simply because bey is on, its going to cause a lot of trouble…however it performs its going to be ammunition for either side

  107. JohnVidal August 8, 2011

    Can´t believe there are still people who consider Beyonce´s vocals as great as the real great legandary vocalists are…

  108. blue August 8, 2011

    i love beyonce’s voice only when she tones it down. on songs like disappear, ave maria and smash into you…where it doesnt sound like she wants to break glass

  109. RihannaNAVY August 8, 2011

    LMAO!
    It is missing Rihanna’s vocal.
    Beyonce can’t help ’em pull another Run This Town.

  110. JUSTQua August 8, 2011

    I swear I need all of these Rihanna stans to stop dreaming because she will never ever be better than BEYONCE!! NEVER!! I like Rihanna but I’m just stating facts. The day someone can show me prof that Rihanna was on stage “SINGING AND DANCUNG AT THE SAME TIME BETTER THAN BEYONCE THEN I WILL RETRACT MY COMMENT”
    This song is hot but like @Dimple said I thought Bruno Mars was going to be on this track. Either way it will be a hit.
    On to Kelly Rowland. If y’all will go back and read the interview she did on ThatGrapeJuice and listen to some radio interviews, you will understand number isn’t the focus. Working the album is. Like it or not (and being a Kelly fan I don’t like it) her team is waiting to spend the promotion money over in the UK. Kelly has to rebuild her fan base in the US and so far she’s doing a good job. Yeah her old fans are pissed at what look like poor promo, but four years ago her old team didn’t have her face out there, and she didn’t have half of the endorsement deals she have now, and she was not touring with another big name artist (like him or not Chris Brown is a super star). And believe me Chris need Kelly (UK shows) just as much as Kelly need Chris (US shows).
    Bruno Mars numbers was so much lower than Kelly’s and his album won a Grammy and went platinum after he worked the album. Give the woman a chance to work the album, but I don’t think her or her team was expecting Motivation to still be hot. Hell most of us wasn’t.
    I tilt my hat to Beyonce and Kelly, because it’s no way in hell people could talk so much s*** about me and I not say “Kiss my ass”.
    These woman are doing be things and hated for no damn reason at all. I guess that’s life living infront of the world.

  111. Coockie August 8, 2011

    Yuck, where’s Rihanna when you need her! This doesn’t even TOUCH run this town.

  112. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 8, 2011

    This song proves why these two are THE MOST OVERRATED rappers to ever get behind the damn mic.The verses were WACK.Seriously, even Nicki Minaj and Wayne can deliver something better than this and they’re the definition of WACK.And something is wrong with the chorus too.Beyonce’s voice and vocal techniques don’t suit the beat at all and there is definetely some synchronism mistake because it sounds off.

  113. RealMusic August 8, 2011

    Beyonce makes the song

  114. KAT DELUNA FAN August 8, 2011

    Beyonce’s upstage them on thier own song
    I love See Me now better.Liff Off could have been on “4” ,suit more the KING than the other two illuminatis

    But I love it,track is HOT.

    PS:I HATE RIHANNA STANS

    SEE ME NOW>>>>>>>>>>>>>RUN THE SHOW

    Rihanna should be on this track. beyonce is not good on hooks she over sings the song

  117. RihannaNAVY August 8, 2011

    @Xedos
    I agree 100%.
    For those kinda song u just gotta be laid back and feel the groove.
    U can t be singing runs all over the place.

  118. JAMIR21: BEY,RIH,GAGA,BRIT>>>>>>JANET !!! August 8, 2011

    FOR ALL THE HATERS WHO SAID THAT THIS TRACK IS BORING….STFU UP THIS TRACK IS HOT !!!!!!

  119. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy c’mon get it b****** ) August 8, 2011

    this song is amazing ! i love the intro ! the song will go to #1 in no time !

    go Queen B !

  120. YOOSONDALOOSE August 8, 2011

    Love it! Better than ‘Run This Town’ easily!

  121. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy c’mon get it b****** ) August 8, 2011

    of course it’s better than “run this town” ! beyonce vocals in this song are the best !
    IN MY OPINION :

    LIFT OFF >> RUN THIS TOWN !

  122. YeaBey Expose Them All August 8, 2011

    smh…..
    @EVERYONE who I was talking to last night, Look at the mishap that happened in the mariah post.

    @JANET IS A WW FLOP’s picture was the same one as @POP ROYALTY’s

    after he realized he messed up his username/gravatar information, he accused someone of stealing his gravatar!

    SMH!

  123. YeaBey Expose Them All August 8, 2011

    I Finally Listened to the song with headphones…..I love it actually…I was skeptical about it first but WOW

  124. Justathought August 8, 2011

    This has got to be the worst track on the album. Not feeling it.

  125. Auntie Jackie August 8, 2011

    I really like this. Beyonce always over-sings, everything….but I think it’s COMPLETELY appropriate on this song, and it’s on repeat right now! This required something other than a whiny “HEEYYYYY” and talk-singing on the track, so Rihanna wouldn’t have fit.

  126. GangsterA August 8, 2011

    only here 4 bey hook the beat is weak also the verseses can’t belive that five/six pepole produced the beat and this what they came up with i don’t see this being a hit at all tbqh RTW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LO it may grow on me though

  127. bylaw99 August 8, 2011

    Without Bey on the track its a definite fail, that being said it shouldnt have took for Bey to make this song listenable. This whole album is subpar coming from Blueprint 3 and MSDTF!

  128. HALF AMAZIN August 8, 2011

    I hope I don’t ruffle any feathers of the people who worship these three but………I just don’t like it, sorry. It bored me.

  129. Tuesday August 8, 2011

    Y’all some haters. This is an hot track from the beat to Beyonce’s simple vocal delivery. Kanye and Jay z were ok. But beyonce made it with the chorus.WTF Rhianna have to do with this? She could never sing like beyonce and i like riri. But her vocals would’ve been drowned out by the beat

  130. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 8, 2011

    Who is the guy that is singing in autotune????

  131. Randy August 8, 2011

    @ Janet is a worldwide flop.. beyonce is almost 30 and what??? you telling me ahe hasn’t tot s** appeal and ain’t BAD! you must be sippin some s*** to say anything like that. as if when she turns 30 she will end up looking like whitney’s lung. look at toni, halle, stacy theyre all 40 plus and have mad ass s** appeal

  132. Pam August 8, 2011

    Beyonce takes over the song like the TRUE star she is Beyonce way she harmonize is better than ANYONE in the Game END OF STORY

  133. yeah August 8, 2011

    @Pam I agree, you can’t deny the harmonies are crazy in this song and she brought those out the air. I think we get so attached trying to compare songs and people to other stuff and not take it for what it is. The fact is the message is in the chorus. Doesn’t need them all over it. This will really be a crowd pleaser. Great opener or closer to any concert. It is all about how people connect to the song!

  134. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. August 8, 2011

    When will 4closure go platinum in the US? BLEACHonce is an irrelevant flop flop flop :mrgreen:

  135. Beyonce Is Gorgeous August 8, 2011

    I hope Frank and Beyonce do a concert with Jay and Kanye too.

  136. Beyonce Is Gorgeous August 8, 2011

    Beyonce has gone platinum in the U.S..The sooner you haters accept you”ll be ok.Damn Idiot.

  137. ON 2 THE NEXT 1 August 8, 2011

    NOT FEELIN’ THIS 1. *SNORE*

  138. KAT DELUNA FAN August 8, 2011

    @ROYALKEV
    THE SONG IS HOT,PPL HATE EVERYTHING BEYONCE RELEASE AT SOME POINT 🙄

  139. Paulie DeStar August 8, 2011

    Oh look I see ya’ll still hating on Beyoncé, will it ever stop? I mean like SERIOUSLY….. Beyoncé is anything but a flop, Look at her track record right from Destiny’s Child to her being a solo artist….and FYI ‘4’ has now gone Platinum!

    Why is it IMPOSSIBLE for all of you lame a*** hating people to admit that music stars are totally different? Beyoncé is not Rhianna and I’m glad of that, because what would be the point in having two singers being the same?

    Rhianna gets her music sold by being vulgar and pushing boundaries which is a reason why I like her, Beyoncé just needs her voice.

    I always feel an air of jealousy when Rhianna stans get on this board comparing s***, if there was a war on vocals and LIVE performances BEYONCÉ would win HANDS DOWN…cause Rhianna is good on CD but absolutely S*** live…

    So now that is cleared up, I will now go and KILL this TUNE cause it has number 1 written all over it!

  140. that_lala August 8, 2011

    its alright i think it has to grow on me

  141. watch the throne 8/8/2011..terrence the realest jayzfan u will ever know August 8, 2011

  144. Coockie August 9, 2011

    Song is co-produced by NIGERIAN producer Don Jazzy. That explains the Igbo style that is used.
