Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch the Throne (Artwork x Release Date)


Click to enlarge.

So it looks like MTO might have gotten their grubby little hands on the first look at the cover to Hov and Ye’s upcoming album; which is said to be made of metal. Ryan Seacrest is also reporting that we will be getting a new single mid July with the album looking at an August release (w/ a tour to follow). UPDATE: Brought this back up as the artwork has now been confirmed to be legit and the official release date is August 2nd (which is shown when you place your pre-order).

  1. people about to swear this has illuminati written all over it in 5,4,3,2,…1

  2. Illuminati top right corner

  3. Gold is the color of the illuminati.

  4. Idk about Illuminati, but I’ll say it’s fucking stupid.

  5. Shit’s just wack. Rappers gettin’ scared to put their face on the damn album. I sure as hell wouldn’t walk through the store and pick up that CD if I was the average Jay/Ye fan. I wouldn’t know what it was obviously.

  6. Looks like a condom wrapper.

  7. All I see is Illuminati Masonic Demonic Satanic Black Magic!

  8. you guys are ALL fuckin idiotic, shit amazes me on this site

  9. ANYone who takes ANY anonymous comment on ANY blog, twitter page, etc., seriously is an Asshole.

  10. Not sure what’s wrong with you all. I like it.

  11. never thought the day would come I’d see a MTO post on 2Dopeboyz lmfao. Never thought y’all would get yo info from MTO. You know they lie all day. They ain’t got nothing to do but lie. This is like 95% fake. And for the nigga that said artists scared to put they face on an album, Ye never did that. Only with 808′s. Ye been havin art on his album and Jigga last album also didn’t have his face so idk why you hatin. It’s called ”ARTWORK”. That doesn’t mean someones face has to be on it.

  12. People really don’t use their face anymore for artwork.

  13. Thats not the complete cover because I think they would at least have the title on it. Its not that dope but if something like this is the cover I can see why and it because Jay and Kanye have no choice but to be different then everybody else cause their huge artists already and usually in hip hop the bigger a artists is , the more simple they artwork is. This mite be the background to the cover artwork but I doubt its the complete cover.

  14. If you look close enough you can see both of their faces

  15. If you look closely you can see a stupid album cover.

  16. WTF is this shit!?..they need to explain the concept of this cover

  17. OCCULT! SYMBOLS! EVERYWHERE! POISON, I TELL YOU

  18. Fuck this Artwork!!! Fuck the fake tracklist that leaked!!! WHERE’S THE FUCKING MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. Jay Z and Kanye need to watch the throne from this cat here ya heard

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jzkZMHdMZI&feature=channel_video_title

  20. there is no music. never was. you sheep ass people! they just want you to be distracted by the thought of new music!

  21. 1. I Don’t need a mans face on an album cover to appreciate any part of the album any more than I would without a mans face on the front lol
    2. This could very well be the finished cover; there’s other albums that don’t have the title written on the front, a lot of artists that go that route just put the title in the form of a sticker on the wrapping.
    That said, I like to think jay and ye are more careful in covering their tracks and they could have something up their sleeves considering MTO of all places got the leak..

  22. I like the idea…

    thecollegecurb.blogspot.com

  23. I think it might be a promo cover, but i’m not sure. Anyway, i’m waiting this album.

  24. i thought it was supposed to come out tomorrow

  25. kanye’s wack ass album covers lately….this coming from an art major. plus were not seeing a single anytime soon this is detox-esque

  26. Hopefully the music lives up to the hype. http://www.swagacidal.com

  27. Watch The Throne will be a disaster in similar proportions to Hurricane Katrina.

  28. remember when MTO had 3 fake 808′s artowrk. Stupid, But What The Hell Do I Know

  29. where all the illuminati comments?? i know they’re coming..smhn
    ..never wanted an iPad, but since they been giving out the new 1 i said what the hell. http://goo.gl/4VvA9 MINES BLUE!!

  30. cover is ok i think could b better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzDZP8EKO3k

  31. there are no illuminati symbol’s here so STFU! dumbasses 90% of the idiots that claim and say they knw shit about the illuminati and masonry,boule etc.. have referenced youtube and wikepedia pages..that shit is not a reliable source nor is it concrete facts.go read a REAL BOOK!!! they are not devil worshippers!…but anyways yo this shit is dope fuck they need there faces on there for? its just missing the title..cant wait for this album.

  32. do you people realize the illuminati (IF ITS EVEN TRUE) is the most powerful racist party in the history of the world? why would any black person join illuminati.. these illuminati claims are absolutely disappointing to see.. Let these black men get money without you damn conspiracy theorists patronizing them.. sheesh.

    Oh, and i’ve seen better artwork.. won’t be buying it anyway lol

  33. ^^ looks like someone’s been listening to K.Dot lol, but seriously. How would a black man be in the illuminati?

    anyway this does seem incomplete. If they were going for a beetles white album style cover, it definitely would need to look simpler than this, so im not too confident that if this is the album cover, its the finished version. Besides, all gold is tacky, niggas have better sense than that

  34. JUICED.

  35. What happen to this droppin on the fourth?smh
    Jay-z lazy ass holding back kanyes creativity.
    Jay-z always blocks yeezy whether by jumpin on a remix to his song etc
    Fuck this I’d rather bump my dom kennedy;)

  36. i dont giva fuck butt illuminati or freemasonary butt shit is hot.

  37. J. Cole better hope it drops in August, cause if it gets pushed to September or further you know he gets pushed as well… or just straight loses sales to his boss.. not a good look either way

  38. Jay is wack & yeezy he alrite i know I won’t buy this
    But I’ll admit the idea to make it out of metal is tight but the design is hella wack

  39. yo my brotha got dis on lock nigga
    that nigga jigga hot too spit that shit quick pops

    one love holla smoking blunts all day pops check ya mail pops

    word up

  40. Like Parish Smith once said “Music Please”

  41. Yo North! what’s been crackin’ like poseidon god? chillin like a fan fam holla back nikka

    shah buh buh kaaahhhhh (juicy j holla back too doe fam)

  42. I hate these illuminati claims, its like say, “In 2002 Jay Z had 6 singles, the Blueprint 3 has 3 lines & 2 spaces between it, 2×3 is 6!!! Sean Carter is jay z’s real name, Carter has 6 letters!!! Put that all together that’s 666! Omg that illuminati !! Jdddiwvdkdbsjf!” And some more bullshit like that.

  43. LOL co-sign the guy above. LOL

  44. tour following? nice they better come to the chi

  45. I hate all that illuminati talk too. Even if they are apart of the illuminati, who really gives a fuck??

  46. This is wack. Hope it’s not the real album cover & doubt it is.

  47. Yea I don’t ever believe anything that mto posts as exclusive they’re not very credible.

  48. tell me how the idea of this watch the throne album came out in the beginning of the year and the Eminem and Royce idea was like a 2 month idea and came out asap. shit better be worth the wait.

  49. Eager to hear what Jay and Kanye come up with. I’m sure it will be worth a listen.

    Free Tracks for YOUR NEXT BIG PROJECT @ TuchMyuzik.com

  50. How many racist illuminati members do you know? Wait-wait, let me back up – how many illuminati memembers do you know at all?

    LMAO @ some you clowns being enlightened by the rhymes in a Kenny Lamar song.

  51. The real cults you should be worried about are in the mosques and churches – that shit is real – not this fake myth shit.

  52. I agree with Fallout. Lol

  53. Ok. Let’s do a quick thinking exercise for a change…

    The album is called Watched The Throne…

    …thrones refer to Kings…rulers…monarchs….

    …thrones are usually gold.

    …Kings usually have a lot of gold around…gold with designs. Kanye and Jay-Z are implying they’re the kings of this hip-hop shit.

    …you idiots are giving Jay-Z and Kanye a little too much credit. Haha. They’re just musicians. Rappers on top of that. Hahahaha. What the fuck would the illuminati, which is really a glorified frat house, want with these two niggas. These niggas ain’t making global policy. They’re just rappers. One makes great music. The other one…hasn’t for like 5/6 years. I hate to break it to you guys but there’s a real world out there, outside of hip-hop.

  54. You guys all realize this is never coming out right?

  55. “And all this illuminati talk. Like my first hit single wasn’t Jesus Walks…” – Kanye West

    ^ THANKYOU! damn niggaz is dumb.

  57. Because his first hit single was Jesus Walks, that doesn’t mean he isn’t in Illuminati now?! That’s a stupid way of thinking, although I too doubt he’s in that shit. Most of you people don’t know SHIT about the Brotherhood, if you even know what THAT is. READ A BOOK! I suggest “Behold A Pale Horse” by William Cooper. Really enlightening.

    As for the cover, it’s meh. That’s kind of dope that it’ll be medal. Not the kind of cover that would be remembered.

  58. This cover is..interesting. Not what i would expect but then again if yall remember the H.A.M. cover it was kinda similar to this but that was all black and stuff. I know Ham aint on the album anymore but just a thought. Honestly idc what the cover looks like as long as the music is hot and the collab rivals bad meets evil lyrically. Dam sure this shit aint coming out on the 4th tho

  59. Jay-Z Illuminati? A Conscious Rapper Says NO!

  60. The majority of people making illuminati comments still listen to jay & ye’. Your just regurgitating information the higher ups gave you themselves.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQTVaeG6riQ&feature=channel_video_title

  61. yall are effin idiots lmao

    the media is owned and run by Zionist
    Zionist owns Hollywood & owns the media.

    stop being disinfo by those stupid ASS YOUTUBE
    VIDEOS

  62. ppl need to not worry about all this suppose of illuminati talk, and start trying to become a better individual and help better others around u especially the youth in your community

  63. if you buy the album on jay-z’s website it says release date is august 2nd. one month to go

  64. this is the real cover, jay-z posted it on his website, and also kanye put it on his facebook page ITS REAL..

  65. -_- well i’ll be damned

  66. Illuminati >>>>>>>>>>

    LETS GO WATCH THE THRONE WILL BE A CLASSIC.

  67. August 2nd…NICE!..3 weeks.

  68. there was a good question on YHTN what is the best duo album of all time? I might seriously put my money on Em and Royces Hell: The Sequel

  69. Hope this release date is legit. And, after that BME album/EP, Jay and Ye better come strong musically AND lyrically.

  70. UND – you fail at math

  71. Where is Big Ghostface when you need him?!

  72. I PREORDERED MY OWN ALBUM, HUHHHHHHHHHH!

  73. lmaooooo you wanna know why this will be one of the best albums of all time?? the secret lies here —> http://tinyurl.com/3lvdf9l

  74. I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by f3dex. I will never again pay expensive r3tailprices at stores.I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, BuzzSave.com……..

  75. If Ryan Gaycrest is reporting on the new single dropping mid-July, then the album can’t be that good. This certainly won’t be a monumental album in hip hop but probably in hip pop

  76. @airyeezy best rap duo in my opinon is outkast hands down

  77. hip hop need this…

  78. So the tracklist is legit, and Ryan Seacrest was right about the release date being August. Now all we need is the single and official tracklist. I’m officially starting to get excited, possible album of the year!

  79. *I meant the cover is legit, not the tracklist

  80. RDLMUSIC.COM HOT LOVE IT.

  81. One mythic album down, one more to go… i hope it drops before the year is out !

  82. this cover really sets an archive affect to music from these artist. its nice

  83. Sacared Geometry Google it!!!!! If they Are they ARE!!! If they NOT then there NOT!!!! But why come out with a Album Cover like this? Sacared Geometry!!!!! Way over ya Head to comprehend!!!! Know sumthin Dumb Muthafkaz!!!

  84. ^^^ because Jay is a business man first so if you people wanna believe he is connected to a higher power hes gonna use that to make a profit. The album cover looks “sacred” and royal in its appearance because the albums called Watch The Throne. The album case is metal and thats Jays way of just adding value to the hard copy because people dont appreciate what they dont work for. So if they download something the reason why it doesnt matter the next week is cause they didnt work ( pay ) for it so its little to no emotional connection. Jay knows this and by making people want the hard copy he creates “the album experience” of going to the store and grabbing the cd and holding the art in your hands then ripping off the plastic and getting back in the car and putting the cd in. That means a person had to fit a time frame in their schedule to go get the album so their gonna listen to it with more appreciation. The artwork is also a conversation piece , meaning that people who see it and dont know whats on it will want to listen. These are things that digital free downloads cant do and part of the reason the quality of music is slowly going down. Thank you and have a nice day. BTW I like free shit , I just dont know how the culture will be able to use that too an advantage.

  85. I had a dream about this cover art like last month, im serious, i didnt understand what i was dreaming about then, and here it is a month later, -Watch the throne- wowww

  86. this is what best of both worlds should have been.
