Follow on Google News | Jay Z and Kanye's Murder to ExcellenceBeyond the Lyrics praises 'Watch the Throne': Two rap kings morphed into one throne and created a crime scene in Hip Hop.
By: Natasha Benjamin Two kings morphed into one throne and created this crime scene in Hip Hop that some may just be overlooking by all the talk and sick beats. Look beyond the lyrics and at what Jay Z and Kanye is beginning to stir up. In "Murder to Excellence" Jay Z dedicates part of it to Danroy Henry. But who is Danroy Henry? In October 2010 this Pace University football player, was shot by a police officer who was later honored 'Officer of the Year'. Coming at the right time, this dedication can even relate to the London riots happening at this moment. "Murder to Excellence" touches on police brutality, often a taboo subject in our community. In "New Day", both Jay and Ye consciously speak of their upbringing providing a deeper conversation of the father/son relationship within our community. At some point Hip Hop moved from its revolutionary stage into a commercialized form and with this album, believe it or not, these two rappers are stirring a little revolution within the game. "Sweet King Martin, we made it in America..." Yes, we've made it and we still have a long way to go but Jay and Kanye are definitely lifting us off.
