DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS: The Albums, 2011.


09/Jay -Z & Kanye West/Watch the Throne

A Toast.

To Black EXCELLENCE, Opulence, DECADENCE.  To living on to see another day and indulging in things that weren't promised. To graduating to the MOMA, and finally getting what's due. To putting in work and making it out alive. To reaping the fruits of our labor: Black ties... Black Maybachs.... Tuxes next to the President... Going "Gorillas" in Paris... For us, to us. To our camaraderie, bonds, and these things we share together. To this music. To respect, hard-earned, and a life well lived that's still in progress. Black EXCELLENCE, opulence, DECADENCE.... A Toast. To it. To Success. To us. We've made it in America. Who gon stop we now?
