Here are some of the reactions:

@SkiMaskChris_ remarked:

“We need ‘Watch The Throne 2.’”

@3_filmz declared:

“Jay-Z popping out and performing? He’s 100% on the Clipse album and/or he’s dropping soon.”

@solo_dumdum gushed:

“Still performing with no back track, by the way. That's impressive.”

@nyobswrld highlighted:

“The best place to perform with this song 🔱”

@QuantumEvolving shared:

“People can say a lot of things about JAY-Z, but he is, no doubt, possibly the best live performer rapper ever. He's not over-the-top hype, but he's just in this amazing pocket where his energy is perfect and everything just bounces and hits harder. Extremely difficult to hit.”

@josh15759 asked:

“Is this the only song he has in his whole catalogue, or does he have no hit songs without Ye innit?”
