9 Years Later I'm commenting here to inform you that Black Adam finally did it

Did you know that the girl's voices on the background that go "la la la" are from a world renowned choir from Romania, named "Fetele de la Capalna"? It is a beautiful music, specific for the southeastern part of Europe, especially Romania. I recommend you listening to this, because it represents an important influence for all of the artists today.

Funny thing is, the whole 'lalalala' part is actually Romanian folk. Search for "Purtata fetelor de la Căpâlna" or "Argatu' - O Sesiune pe Folclorul Românesc și Aromân" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Based Jesus It's true that the Indiggo Twins used the same extract before Kanye and Jay-Z did, but the original is really just good old countryside folk. Hah, I'll have to say that it's pretty surprising to find stuff like this in the American music industry.

Jay's verse on this is pure genuis....this whole song is.

This song is the essence of hip hop music.It isn't about money,whores or something similar ... it's about a story,it has a message.You two guys are defending the pride of hip hop music today.

Man, that intro is mind blowing. I love how vibrant and colourful this song is

Timeless music & lyrics... Love Watch the Throne !

I can honestly say that as a man who's listened to more or less everything hip hop has to offer.. Jay is truly the goat. Don't let this mainstream image fool you. "i dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars"

best hip hop album of the last decade, i dont car eif you dont like jay or kanye this album is a classic

forgot how much I love this song ugh soooo gooooddd

This song is STRONNNG!!!! What an incredible song.. Instant new in the top songs of all time club. The flows, that track, the vibe, that structure.. Hard.

This is Art. - It's about genuine issues, it's saying something, it's heart felt and beautiful. This is the 1% or rap thats worth the time and effort put into it.

The song is FETELE DE LA CAPALNA

This is a great message. They did excellent on this. A masterpiece

a powerful song for everybody. love it

whole song is amazing, but the beat from 2:42 is the best. love how it just flows

One of the best songs of the 2010s imo

he's so candid in his verses. Honesty truth with no flashiness, flowery language

jay never disappoint us. good music.

How can people argue that Jay-Z and Kanye West suck? They are Hip-Hop/Rap and this whole album just strengthens the argument for two of the best rappers alive!

Love this powerful song, best on WTT, and I want to listen to it in movies, trailers, shows....

kanye's verse is poetry

This Beat is awesome! Watch the throne album has some of the best bests ive heard, certainly the best of Kanye West and Jay-Z

This excellent song could be an anthem for Africa, especially for South Africa

Much love from Romania!

Exactly, which is why I play my ipod in my car so when I hear a song on the radio I've never heard of I do end up liking it around 6-8 months later when its "overplayed" music in the past is what keeps this genre alive imo.

This is powerful

Can't stop listening to this song. Beat owns, Kanye owns.

Legendary Jay and Ye🔥🔥🔥🔥

More than a classic a treasure

"Murder to Excellence" is a work of art.

Like the beat and the lyrics. Kanye is a genius.

cannot live without this song ^^

Jay-Z:] Uh, bloody murder, murder, murder Bloody murder, murder, murder, murder Bloody murder, murder, murder, murder Bloody murder, murder, murder [Kanye West:] Paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" Paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" again [Jay-Z:] Uh, this is to the memory of Danroy Henry Too much enemy fire to catch a friendly Strays from the same shade, nigga, we on the same team Giving you respect, I expect the same thing, uh All-black everything, nigga, you know my fresh code I'm out here fighting for you, don't increase my stress load Niggas watching the throne, very happy to be you Power to the people, when you see me, see you [Kanye West:] And I'm from the murder capital where they murder for capital Heard about at least three killings this afternoon Looking at the news like, "Damn! I was just with him after school" No shop class, but half the school got a tool And a "I could die any day"-type attitude Plus his little brother got shot reppin' his avenue It's time for us to stop and redefine black power Forty-one souls murdered in fifty hours [Kanye West:] The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" again "Murder" again [Kanye West:] Is it genocide? 'Cause I can still hear his mama cries Know the family traumatized Shots left holes in his face about piranha-sized The old pastor closed the cold casket And said the church ain't got enough room for all the tombs It's a war going on outside we ain't safe from I feel the pain in my city wherever I go 314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago [Jay-Z:] I arrived on the day Fred Hampton died Uh, real niggas just multiply And they say by 21, I was supposed to die So I'm out here celebrating my post-demise If you put crabs in a barrel to ensure your survival You're gon' end up pulling down niggas that look just like you What up, Blood? Uh, what up, cuz? Uh, it's all black, uh, I love us [Kanye West:] The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" The paper read: "Murder, black-on-black murder" again "Black-on-black murder" again "Black-on-black murder" again [II. "Excellence"] [Jay-Z:] It's a celebration of black excellence, black tie, black Maybachs Huh, yeah, uh [Jay-Z:] Black excellence, opulence, decadence Tuxes next to the president, I'm present I dress in Dries, and other boutique stores in Paris In sheepskin coats, I silence the lambs Do you know who I am, Clarice? No cheap cologne whenever I "shh-shh" Success never smelled so sweet I stink of success, the new black elite They say my Black Card bears the mark of the beast I repeat: my religion is the beat My verse is like church, my Jesus piece Now please, domino, domino Only spot a few blacks the higher I go, uh What's up to Will? Uh, shout out to O, uh That ain't enough, we gonna need a million more, uh Kick in the door, uh, Biggie flow I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go, uh [Kanye West:] Yeah, it's all messed up when it's nowhere to go So we won't take the time out 'til we reach the T-O-P From parolees that hold G's, sold keys, low keys We like the promised land of the OG's In the past if you picture events like a black tie What's the last thing you expect to see? Black guys What's the life expectancy for black guys? The system's working effectively, that's why I'll be a real man, take care of your son Every problem you had before this day is now done New crib, watch a movie 'Cause ain't nothin' on the news but the blues Hit the mall, pick up some Gucci Now ain't nothing new but your shoes Sunday morning, praise the Lord You the girl that Jesus had been saving me for So let's savor this moment and take it to the floor Black excellence, truly yours
