Everytime I hear Beyonce's single "Irreplacable" I have to roll my eyes just a little. The song is rumored to be about her boyfriend rapper boyfriend Jay-Z and how she can find another man just like him if he ever fooled around.
Uh, yeah right. Maybe for about 99% of the female population, this is true. But not for Beyonce. Now, granted Beyonce is a hot piece of ass...but she's not even close to being the icon Ms. Jackson was in her heyday nor is she even Christina Aguilera status at the moment. What she is, is a good, not great artist who is very marketable right now.
Now let's talk about the man to whom Beyonce keeps saying "to the left" repeatedly. Shawn Carter is something of a music mogul. Multi-millionaire: check. First non-athlete with a shoe deal with Reebok: check. Best MC alive: check. President of a record label: check. Owner of an NBA basketball Team, the soon to be Brooklyn Nets: check.
In the world of music, the next hot female icon / singer is always in the making and as fast as the first one rises, the next one is never far behind (see: Rihanna). Jiggaman would have his pick of the next crop of younger, hotter starlets fairly easily. He's Jay-Z..he gets more ass on his lap than the mall Santa it just comes with the territory. If Beyonce were to drop Jay-Z I bet any of the other ex-Destiny's Child members would be at the door right after they broke up. Its not hard to see Kelly Rowlands giving Beyonce a hug and whispering "I'm sorry, gurrrl..." and in the same motion push her aside and say "Step aside,bitch you had your chance...where is he?"
I got love for Beyonce...but if she was ever to dump Jay-Z, she'd never really be able to truly upgrade unless she got with one of a very short list of dudes that include ohhh lets see: Russell Simmons, P.Diddy, Babyface, LA Reid and that dude that owns the Charlotte Bobcats, Bob Johnson ...and I hear he's pretty old, but hey you never know.
Most of us dudes are pretty replacable but if there ever was a dude that was irreplacable...it's probably a music mogul that owns an NBA team.
Sure, Beyonce could get with some better looking guy, maybe in all likelihood one of those new jack R&B dudes...but that'd be like dating the busboy after you dated the owner of the restaurant.
The way I see it, stop the posturing and give the man his due. He IS irreplacable and she should take pride in the fact that she snagged him. She should take it from Kobe's wife and know he's the best she'll ever do. Sure, you might say she isn't doing so bad herself because she's a millionaire too...yeah, I'm sure...but we all know how fickle the music business can be. One day you're singin' to the left to the left on Jay Leno and the next thing you know people won't even download your bootleg album on Limewire and you're seriously hoping The Surreal Life next season jumpstarts your career. The smart play is, if dude ever cheats, she should treat him like the irreplacable asset he really is and squeeze him for cash like Mrs. Kobe Bryant! To the bank, to the bank if anything, but enough with this Irreplacable nonsense.
