About This Track

The Murder To Excellence Songfacts says: This is actually two songs spliced together, the first of which is questioning and dark and finds Kanye revisiting one of Watch The Throne’s themes: black-on-black murder, in this case in his Chicago hometown. The other tune is more soulful and triumphant and finds the pair celebrating, “the new black elite” and “black excellence.”

    "If they had made the second half into its own song... it would be the greatest song of all time. " , naw I think it's more like "holy shit" when the beat changes up, it's like damn this album is fucking great

    Upon several listenings, I stand by the assertion that this is the only song on the disc that lives up to the hype. I personally prefer "Murder" to "Excellence", but honestly, I wouldn't want them split up for anything. That beat change is fucking sick.
