A Definitive Ranking Of Beyoncé And Jay Z Collaborations

Because we weren’t already excited enough for the upcoming tour .

Thus, songs excluded from this list are: "Venus vs. Mars," "Pray" and "Tom Ford."

"Lift Off" (2011)

"Lift Off" (2011)

Album: Jay Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne
Why: "Lift Off" by Jay Z and Kanye West featuring Beyoncé, is not heavy on the Bey and Jay vibes, especially since Beyoncé is only offered the chorus. So, in light, it would only cause minimal tears if performed live.
Most Awe-Worthy Line: None because this song isn't about them.

"Hollywood" (2006)

"Hollywood" (2006)

Album: Jay Z's Kingdom Come
Why: Beyoncé followed up Jay Z's "Hollywood" with her own solo-version entitled "Welcome to Hollywood" in 2007, so both versions will count as one in this case. While the two songs are good, the chorus would be the only truly worthwhile part if performed live by both of them.
Most Awe-Worthy Line(s): "It's kinda sexy to me how you watchin'" - Beyoncé
"I love it" -Jay Z

"That's How You Like It" (2003)

"That's How You Like It" (2003)

Album: Beyoncé's Dangerously in Love
Why: The song is cute with a slow tempo, that emphasizes what Bey and Jay love about each other. Because of the song's old-school ode to young-Bey and Jay, tears could potentially shed if it were performed live.
Most Awe-Worthy Line: "Young Hovah & the Letter B. How you like that, huh?" - Jay
