Discover the Ultimate Showdown: Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ vs. ‘Watch The Throne’ – A Track-by-Track Analysis!
When Taylor Swift dropped her latest album Reputation, she unleashed a flood of #bitterbars that took the music world by storm. Known for her chart-topping success, Taylor Swift’s newfound venom seemed to be directed at her past relationships and highly publicized feuds with Kanye West. Despite her ongoing beef with Kanye, she also had some kind words for her current boyfriend, who happens to be younger than her ex.
The burning question on everyone’s mind was: is Reputation better than Watch The Throne? We decided to pit Taylor Swift against Jay-Z and Kanye West to see how she stacked up in the rap game.
Let’s break it down track by track:
“…Ready for It?” vs. “No Church in the Wild”
Taylor thought she was delivering bars on this track, but Jigga, Kanye, and Frank Ocean’s “No Church in the Wild” proved to be the superior contender. The Throne easily takes the win on this one.
“End Game” vs. “Lift Off”
While “End Game” might have some catchy elements, the lackluster “Lift Off” falls short. Reputation secures a win, thanks to Future’s feature.
“I Did Something Bad” vs. “Niggas in Paris”
Taylor Swift’s “I Did Something Bad” may have some low-key vibes, but it can’t compete with the iconic status of “Niggas in Paris” by The Throne.
“Don’t Blame Me” vs. “Otis”
Shellback and Max Martin’s production on “Don’t Blame Me” can’t outshine the brilliance of “Otis” by Jay-Z and Kanye West. The Throne reigns supreme in this matchup.
“Delicate” vs. “Gotta Have It”
Taylor’s track “Delicate” pales in comparison to the energetic chemistry of Jay-Z and Kanye on “Gotta Have It.”
“Look What You Made Me Do” vs. “New Day”
With its bitter undertones, “Look What You Made Me Do” falls short compared to the introspective “New Day” by The Throne.
“So It Goes…” vs. “That’s My Bitch”
In a hypothetical scenario, “That’s My Bitch” wins for The Throne based on its vibes alone.
“Gorgeous” vs. “Welcome to the Jungle”
Taylor’s “Gorgeous” lyrically focuses on older guys, but “Welcome to the Jungle” outshines it purely based on its beat.
“Getaway Car” vs. “Who Gon Stop Me”
Taylor’s snitch-like revelations in “Getaway Car” can’t match the raw energy of “Who Gon Stop Me” by The Throne.
“King of My Heart” vs. “Murder to Excellence”
With a lack of Motown soul, Taylor Swift’s “King of My Heart” falls behind the emotive “Murder to Excellence” by Jay-Z and Kanye.
“Dancing with Our Hands Tied” vs. “Made in America”
Taylor’s lack of bitterness in this track leads to a loss against The Throne’s “Made in America.”
“Dress” vs. “Why I Love You”
The raw honesty of The Throne in “Why I Love You” wins over Taylor’s “Dress” with its bitter undertones.
“This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” vs. “Illest Motherfucker Alive”
Taylor’s ongoing bitterness towards Kanye is evident in “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” but The Throne takes the crown with their candid reflections in “Illest Motherfucker Alive.”
“Call It What You Want” vs. “H.A.M”
Taylor’s bitter opening verse in “Call It What You Want” is overshadowed by The Throne’s relentless energy in “H.A.M.”
“New Year’s Day” vs. “Primetime”
Taylor’s sweet ode to loyalty, “New Year’s Day,” falls short against The Throne’s powerful track “Primetime.”
Ultimately, in a landslide victory of 14-1, Watch The Throne emerges as the clear winner over Taylor Swift’s Reputation. The inimitable duo of Jay-Z and Kanye West remains undefeated.
