Superior JAY-Z feature: Heartbreaker vs. Crazy in Love vs. Umbrella

[Virgos Groove]

JAY-Z's first three #1s. But which of his verses do you prefer?

 

[Cloudy]

Not his first 3 number 1s being all granted by women. I had no idea

 

 

Anyway Umbrella clears for both questions

[elevate]

Fav of these is Heartbreaker, but love all three. Not mentioned, but love Upgrade U as well.

Hard to choose between Crazy In Love and Umbrella, both certified classics. 

[Freaky Prince]

I'm more likely to listen to Umbrella, than CIL, so I voted that, but they are both bops.

[Rhythm]

Heartbreaker and CIL almost feel like definitive features for him. Umbrella, to me, feels like it would’ve been a strong enough song on its own, regardless of it. As would CIL, now that I think about it.

 

Went with Heartbreaker because that’s the best verse of the three.

Crazy In Love. Easily 

[Dragonfly]

I only like Umbrella

[JoAddams]

holy trinity 

[tost1]

Umbrella, but his best verse is on Deja Vu

[unclefloprry]

Crazy in Love is iconic but I don't remember his verse so Umbrella 

[GraceRandolph]

Crazy in Love, but his best verse is on Umbrella.

[DiamondHoe]

His verse on Heartbreaker is the best. Heartbreaker is also my personal favourite of the 3 tracks 

[jdanton2]

1 Umbrella

2 Crazy In Love

3 Heartbreaker

[Bacardo Royale]

His best verse is for Crazy In Love, that flow is beautiful and Bey's adlibs in the back

 

Umbrella is best song especially that last chorus 

 

As for Mariah he has a better verse on You Got Me

 

 

[99sandthe2000s]

Verse = Crazy In Love

Song = Umbrella

[SuperCiC1]

I have completely forgotten what Jay's CIL verse even sounds like.

Umbrella he just does like an intro and it's kinda faceless

Heartbreaker is iconic

 

CIL is dated, annoying, overplayed

Umbrella is too melancholy, but great for a mood

Heartbreaker is pure bliss, and exceptionally experimental for a pop song, also Mariah's vocals are insane

[chaeyonce]

Jay is completely useless on Crazy In Love, still one of the greatest songs of all time oddly

This is why it's so weird when people act like Jay-Z was the reason Beyoncé was popular/successful, as if she hadn't had four number #1s with her group before he got his own first #1 song (...with Alicia Keys as his feature).

[Topaz]

Mariah gave him the first number one so her and without Mariah, Beyonce and Rihanna wouldnt of had been inspired to start their career so she wins again LOL
