Music royalty Jay Z and Beyoncé have officially announced their summer stadium tour entitled “On The Run.” The Carters will embark on a North American tour to remind us that they have amazing sex, ripe with cunnilingus, breast for breakfast and plenty of Monica Lewinsky’ing. The Carters have been in our lives for nearly two decades and they’ve both managed to peak again and solidify their legacy as cultural icons. I’m no fan of either, I love a few Jay Z tracks and I loved B’s recent album but they’ve never really excited me all that much. But I am not going to lie, I enjoy looking at them and they are both incredibly talented performers. You can bet your life that you’re going to have to sell your first born to see this show because the tickets are going to be sooooooo expensive. Remember when Beyoncé’s presence turned off all the lights during the Superbowl? Imagine the two of them combined. This is going to be the ultimate illuminati ritual that opens the 7th circle of hell.

This was the song that showed the world Jay and Bey were a for real IRL couple. It wasn’t just a rumor and it wasn’t just a fluke, these two were 4 serious about each other. Tru Luv 4 ever.
Deja Vu

Probably my favorite because Beyoncé appears to be in a state of mania. Jay Z sits in that chair calmly as his demeanor always is. Then Bey dances around him sporadically, like a spooked chicken, with crazy eyes. The video is so strange to me. I love it.
Crazy In Love

The song that made Beyoncé Knowles: Beyoncé. After years of pretending like she wasn’t going to go solo she did and she turned it out. No T. No shade.
Drunk In Love

I found their Grammy’s performance lackluster. Bey always has to downplay her performing abilities to compensate for the fact that Jay Z dances like Steve Urkel. Still, I can’t deny the infectiousness of the song and how much fun it would be to see it live and sing it with an entire stadiums worth of people.

I remember this song because Mrs. Carter created an alternate version that was an advertisement for Direct TV. How embarrassing.

This is obviously going to be the encore performance and it’s obviously going to bring the house down.
