Yeeeah, I just didn't get these MKS tracks.

Artist - Beyoncé Song - "Rather Die Young" Producer(s) - Jeff Bhasker, Beyoncé Knowles, Luke Steele SCORE - 7.268 10 - Ace Reject 9 - Bloomers 8 - Superpower (8.5), MrMinum, borntodie, Penk (8.6) 7 - lovesong (7.5), MP2K (7.5), madonnas (7.5), supaspaz (7.5), Eeveelution 6 - Giliap (6.5), Christian, Marq, holyground (6.5), Truth Teller, Ewan Chaos (6.5), Subomie, Stevie 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - "Rather Die Young" is a cut from 4. Smack dab in the middle, it makes references to James Dean and plays up a teenage dream-esque feeling. Another underrated Bey track. Pretty much everyone gave it between a 6 and an 8. No overly strong reactions left it somewhere in the middle.

CRIMINALLY underrated song. ****.

not surprised. those 'mks' songs are **** compared to his other work.

Rather Die was so underrated when 4 came out. Glad no one really dragged it.

Agreed. As is most of 4.

My problem with the MKS song is that it's barely a rework. Sounds like they just hopped on the track because they liked it so much, without interjecting much of their own style. It's still the original's instrumental that serves as the driving force and the star of the redo. I mean, it's just so lazy. They even end up reverting back to Kendrick's lyrics by the end.

"Rather Die Young" and "Superpower" are both the kind of tracks you skip when you listen to their respective albums, but they're still both a 6/10.

Lay Down In Swimming Pools stayed longer than it's welcome

Would this be a good place to leave it?

Random, but why was this guy everywhere in 2011ish? He was on 4, Looking 4 Myself, The Blueprint 3 and never delivered any hits or anything....

"Locked Out Of Heaven", "Kingdom", "Find Your Love", Blood Orange, and every Solange track that isn't "Losing You" can exit stage left right about now.

Rooting for Dev to take it with Chamakay or Losing You, Ariel with Climax or Ya Hey, or Jeff with Party or any Kanye track!

mks was some of his best work but w/e, ill be the one laughing when i punch out some of his other atrocities

They can go next.

y'all can miss me with that Blood Orange hate (saltiness)

As long as I Care and Party get high (top 25 AT LEAST) then I'm set. Pretty nice that Rather Die Young didn't get anything less than a 6.

Looking at that Ariel list... damn. I mean I realized this before but now I'm really seeing it - he is gonna go FAR in this rate.

Miley should leave, then Pharrell can stay put until top 20, Ariel can lose Boys, Kingdom, a HAIM song, Stay Away, and Climax whenever. Dev needs to keep Blood Orange for a while, that's all I'm really bothered by. I want Losing You to get far, but it won a rate already so I don't really wanna see it win this one.

Yikes fun. being wiped out. Some Nights deserved more.

Aww The Lucky One. Well it has never been a standout for me anyway.

Rather Die Young is meh, it gets lost amidst all the tracks on 4.

Well I'm glad y'all realise that Rooting a For My Baby is Miley's best here.

I wonder when Ariel will lose a track. It should be Unbelievers.

I'm always surprised that MKS remains so underrated here. I thought ATRL loved tragic diva stories.

How did "Rather Die Young" outlast the much superior "Superpower"?

lovesong, where's my reminder PM? I missed the whole update

Anyway, holyground and I better slay with our low score to Happy. We sabotaged it

I'm pressed about MKS

I was way too generous with Miley because I knew she'd be out early and I was right
