OMG! Did you hear" Jay-Z had sex with Beyoncé and they made humans! It?s a miracle! A miracle made possible by sex! Did I mention the sex thing" Because it?s really important. Or, at least, it appears to be important to Jay-Z.
In what is actually a pretty great title track from his new album, 4:44, Jay-Z lays bare his culpability and contrition for his infidelity. He openly laments what will happen when his kids?5-year-old Blue and his newborn twins? find out about his bad behaviour.
It seems Jay-Z was a douche and the universe finally did something big enough to make him realize it: ?Took for these natural twins to believe in miracles,? the rapper says. And in his life?s narrative, it really is a miracle. He was blind, and now he sees. But there?s one thing that rankles about that line. I hate to get all technical on Jay-Z here, but if twins aren?t natural, they?re … what, exactly" Not miracles" Would he have seen the light while sitting in the interminable dreariness of an IVF waiting room" Or was it the bolt-from-the-blue shock of that first ultrasound that set him to rights"
Does the ?natural? part count" If not, why mention it"
Natural twins are no more a ?miracle? than a natural singleton. It?s the ?life? bit that?s miraculous?the rest is statistics. If you can make a baby, there?s a slim chance you?re going to make two. (Before IVF, 1.9 percent of live births in the U.S. were twins; now it?s 3.3 percent.)
