Jay-Z Unveils “Watch The Throne” At Exclusive Listening Session (BET.com)

For Jay-Z, Watch the Throne is showing his growth. Not so much musically but, moreso, personally. See, Jay has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to rap. That’s no secret. But now he is so established in his career, his new lyrics seem to be about his bigger purpose.  There are moments on WTT when Jay makes more references to Jesus than he ever has before, and there was a line or two, or three, about being “Black,” which has never been a secret, but Blackness has never been played up by him on such a socio-political level (see the tentatively titled  “No Church”).  Maybe Kanye is helping him bring out a deeper sense of religion.

Beyonce on Ellen Degeneres Show

So somebody's people must have called somebody's people because Beyonce hit the Ellen Degeneres show yesterday. Ellen got Beyonce to "yapping" about marriage. I have to say that I'm feeling Beyonce these days (as you can see with my double posting).
