Beach Chair is a song from rapper Jay-Z's comeback album Kingdom Come. The single is set for release in February 2007, as the B-side to Minority Report. It is produced by Dr. Dre and Chris Martin from Coldplay, and features Chris Martin himself. The video for Minority Report/Beach Chair will be made in New York as a medley.
In the song, Jay-Z gives his view on life - as if it were a dream. The general theme of the song is that Jay-Z is in the 'afterlife' of rap. The song is suggesting that Jay-Z is relaxing on a beach chair, whilst dreaming about various issues that reflect upon him. Whilst the melodic notes and strings were produced by Chris Martin, the reverbal drums in the background were produced by Dr. Dre. Some people have quoted that the song is not hip-hop as such. There is a presence of a light kick drum in the background, but it is very faint. Also Features a small guest appearance of Beyonce saying 4 words during the first verse "are you happy Hov?". The song moves Hip-Hop to a new era and recreated Jay Z as a new type of star. His ability to create such a powerful song is evident here, and long may it continue
