Look no further than Beyoncé’s smash [“Drunk in Love,”](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/01/30/drunk-in-love-controversy/ "undefined") which has inspired homage in recent weeks from [UK pop stars](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player%5Fembedded&v=DKIf5C5xshU "undefined"), [Atlanta rap-droids](https://soundcloud.com/freebandzglobal/future-drunk-in-love "undefined") and [YouTube sexy sax men](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player%5Fembedded&v=134UrUe7KxM "undefined"). The biggest name to take on “Drunk in Love” thus far is Kanye West, who tacks a filthy, heavily self-referential verse onto the song’s front; West evokes his own “On Sight” and “Bound 2,” from last year’s _Yeezus_, while detailing exactly how he’s going to satisfy you. It’s more of a victory lap for both artists than an essential composition — one visionary tipping his cap to another — but fans of either will find plenty to like here. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7114197/beyonce-drunk-in-love-remix-kanye-west/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/7114197/beyonce-drunk-in-love-remix-kanye-west/"},"headline":"Kanye West Adds a Verse to Beyoncé and Jay Z's \"Drunk In Love\": Hear the Remix","datePublished":"2014-02-18T17:03:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-25T06:12:09.610Z","description":"If you’re looking for a surefire sign that a song has penetrated the zeitgeist, keep an eye on the remix market: when an artist’s peers...","url":"https://time.com/archive/7114197/beyonce-drunk-in-love-remix-kanye-west/","keywords":["Beyonce","Jay-z"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd70815ba7abe1f5/698a8d3c9862f56b6b89b1dd/147543714.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jamieson Cox","url":"https://time.com/author/cox-jamieson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd70815ba7abe1f5/698a8d3c9862f56b6b89b1dd/147543714.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2012 BET Awards - Roaming Inside And Backstage","caption":"2012 BET Awards - Roaming Inside And Backstage","creditText":"Christopher Polk—2012 Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/archive/7114197/beyonce-drunk-in-love-remix-kanye-west/","name":"Kanye West Adds a Verse to Beyoncé and Jay Z's \"Drunk In Love\": Hear the Remix"}}]}] ```
