Jay-Z and coldplay are best friends, hence this experiment. There's a reason why this is an EP of B-Sides, emphasis on B-Sides. Personally I think a coldplay + Jay-Z collab album will be brilliant and we will be seeing a progression toward this in the years to come. The only down side will be comparisons to the Linkin Park/Jay-Z project which will be completely irrelevant because it would be like comparing....well, Linkin Park to coldplay! LP is has no depth, coldplay is flawfree.
It's different...but I like it better without him. I kept this version on my iPod with the rest of both albums in this "set" until I realized he cursed...I'm not for that much cursing.
jay-z adds a different vibe to coldplay. people just don't respect all genres. who knows. this could create a new genre. i would definately like this kind of rap over stupid young money
This is the only coldplay song i ever had to pause half way thru in disgust. Are you serious Chris, you actually allowed him to do this to your previously beautiful song, it would've been better with a song that fit that vibe. but this didnt, at all. although im sure jay-z's lyrics were fine all the ridiculuos noises before it ruined any thing he was about to say after...
I <3 the original Lost and when I heard the Jay-Z version I was like dangggg what happened there? loll coldplay is my fave group & jay-z should not ruin their songs :)
Ur a dumdum. Chris Martin appeared on his stuff. Jay-Z is prob one of the greatest rappers of all time. Im not saying he makes it better, just different. It's a nice collaboration. Even Apple (Chris's child) calls him Uncle Jay.
His lyrics explain exactly what people are doing.He's a known rapper, now you all(or some of you)are judging him just because he says n**** or any other racial word.......
This may hurt some coldplay fans...but jay-z lyrics take this song to another level! I think if it was an only Coldplay song it wasn't as much special as this one is. Two big names in music history :)
This is a pretty good song! I'm sort of a Coldplay fan anyway (and I like the original Lost!), but I think the rapping fits into this song really well. The song has a sort of hip-hop beat in the background anyway, so something like this way going to work.
Jay-Z really did perform with them ;) That would be shame to move in the Prospekt March a remix of Lost! with just put in words without real singer ;)
Jay-Z was amazing in this song; his lyrics fit the song perfectly and the song was just sent to a whole new different level. Great song, great band, great music.
i thought the rapping was ok it fit the song, im a big jay-z fan and his best lyrics are his rag to riches songs and those are the only songs that are actually really good, but he did his thing in this verse. disagree with the people that say jayz is too brash for the beat. Jay-z is better on soft beats by kanye and he sucks on hard beats like this one and rick rubin instrumentals.
Coldplay probably collaborated with him to expand their fanbase, and boost sales of the EP this song is on. Or maybe because he worked so well with Linkin Park, although they're a very different band.
The Jay-Z/Linkin Park mash-up was a serious crash-and-burn. The rap in this song was unneeded, but I love how Jay-Z remixed this song, it turns it from a Coldplay song to a get-up-and-dance song.
@BsidesAndEPs Chris has also worked with Jay-Z, and him and Jay-Z are good friends. They both wanted to name their album's "Till Kingdom Come" or "Kingdom Come", but Coldplay settled on X & Y and let Jay-Z have the name, and since then they've been friends.
@weirdbuttrue24 i really like the jayz part. it adds a kind of more fast paced side to this song. also what hes rapping about is suprising reality. "if you succed prepare to be crucified"
Jay and coldplay.
I don't know if they could ever pull off another collaboration as good as this. Hot damn this is magic.
