How did the two Jay Z/Beyonce/Khaled tracks flop so damn hard?

[JesusFOREVER]

Shining did alright and was a good song

 

[Atlrocafella]

Khaled was smelling himself way too much and thought he could dupe the public again with an over hyped track that turned out to be garbage.

 

[Yinny]

I actually like Top Off but it was a random single

Like the sample for Shining but B sounded dull imo

 

[RAX 010]

I never heard shining that had Jay on it?

 

[Sex Luthor]

They tried too hard. Sometimes you're too smart for your own good. The trio, let alone just any one of the three, had nothing organic to bring to the table

Future seemed out of place on top off plus thats not really a beyonce type of song

 

[The Midnight Marauder]

1. Song was terrible
2. Jay's washed
3. While Beyonce is without question the biggest star in music, she hasn't had a true radio hit in years.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Are you ready for a world where Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Kanye and Drake are all musically irrelevant?

Because it’s coming. Nothing lasts forever.

As far a music years go all 3 are relevant to what equates to forever.

Jay isn’t really relevant anymore. Just has a large fanbase

 

[Love Sosa]

I really liked jay’s verse on top off but the rest of the song was bad.

Shining is nice

 

[RammerJammer]

Shining did alright and was a good song

I liked Shining, but I just expected to song to chart better

I really liked jay’s verse on top off but the rest of the song was bad.

Shining is nice

Jay's verse was dope on Top Off but good god was that song awful

 

[Hersh]

shining needed a video.

top off wasn't needed

 

[Formerly known as...]

They were forced and Khaled bigged them up like he had some unbelievable Detox type track

 

[50CentStan]

cuz Jay and Bey been trash musically for the last few years and the only thing propping them up is stans b hive and their image.

 

[Iceson Beckford]

Typical Khaled forcing these poor chemistry and weird feature songs

 

[brownsugah]

The hive mindset/groupthink that goes on here is disgusting. I just wanted to say that.

With that said, both Shinning and Top Off are average with Beyoncé being the best part/saving grace of both songs.
