Don't let it ruin the song for you. Tontarna is one of their best ones....can't really describe it with a word other than kickass (sorry for the language). They need to make more songs like that with those heavy synths and catchy beats. Took a while to like, just ignore the music video.
And Jay-Z may have supposedly grown up in the ghettos as a lot of celebrities do but if you look into their family lineages, you'll find how closely connected they are, often to loyalty or politicians. It's really interesting actually.
