After reading the reviews and hearing folks thoughts on the project, I’m super hype. Especially for track 5, which Rolling Stone explains as the following:
Watch the Throne isn’t all braggadocio. This slower, introspective number finds Jay-Z and West both addressing their hypothetical future children. They don’t hold back, and the self-doubt and soul-searching in their verses is genuinely moving. I can’t recall ever hearing Jay-Z open up quite like this before, not even on ”This Can’t Be Life.” Kanye’s verse is pretty special, too – after the playback, Jay-Z said he thinks it’s one of Ye’s top three performances ever.
Nice!
DOPE
damn Frank Ocean is one lucky nigga.
*yawn yawn and yawning even more* lasers in stores B-)
gonna be some HIP POP SHIT WITH BEYONCE AND KERRI HILSON
I can’t wait for this to drop!
I was looking forward to the living so Italian track. Sigh.
Rolling Stone is shit dont trust them niggas they gave Amerikkas Most Wanted 2 mics WTF
I really wanna hear these Frank Ocean tracks.
Its good to see “The Joy” get on the CD even if its a bonus, that cut is one of the best tracks I heard in a while.
the fuck happened to that ‘ Italian Living ‘ track that was suppose to have Andrea Bocelli? I was pumped to hear that…
I’m glad they left living so italian off. Sounded corny.
The titles were tentative so it may be named something else
The Joy is on the the album… FUCK & YES! One of my absolute favorite Kanye and Jay tracks ever.
damn, soulful and introspective Jay-Z and Kanye? wasn’t really anticipating this project originally….but damn now i’m hyped. Frank Ocean is about to blow up then haha
its funny NIGGA FROM ODD FUTURE ON 2DB
that nigga Frank Ocean needs to count his blessings lol

Q-TIP beat on 14 That’s My Bitch [Bonus]

#slimeee
All I Know is Madlib gave them 5 beats during the recording session if Kanye & Jay-Z did not use at least one of those beats=FUCKIN ASSHOLES!!!!!!! Give Madlib his due with a major project!!!!!!!!!
A track listing. Now we’re talking.
definitely looking forward to tracks 1, 4 and 5.
you 2dope haters suck so much balls it makes no sense … i love yall shake and meka …but damn ..
The release date for Watch The Throne, Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaborative album has been released. According to the Def Jam website, the highly-anticipated LP will drop on July 6… 2012. Wow. That is much later than fans would have thought/wanted. Do you think it’s a smart move for the two hip hop heavyweights, who were seen going “H.A.M.” earlier today, to wait an entire year to release the project? Is this the real date? (College DJ)
for those looking for “living so italian” it’s still there. rolling stone says about track six:
“Back to stunting! A sample of Andrea Bocelli’s schmaltzy “Con Te Partirò” gets sped down and mangled into an improbably heavy groove as Jay-Z and Kanye tout their international lifestyle in slick verses. The phrase they chant during the chorus, and presumably the working title for this one, is “Living So Italian.” Very catchy. “It was actually fun for us,” Jay later explained of this track. “We were laughing.”"
Fuck reviews.
#1 and #10 are gonna hurt some feelings… can’t wait for this shit. Hell, I would cop this just for the mastered version of That’s My Bitch.
This music is going to be so shit Jesus himself will come back to earth just to slap the shit out of Kanye and kick Jay in the balls.
Yeah, Ni66as in Paris could be the substitute for Living So Italian. That other title sounded too dope though.
Really hyped for this project, but Rolling Stone isn’t to be really trusted. Their reviews are delivered from the hype of OTHER reviews. For instance: If an artists debut doesn’t neccessarily have a “hit single”, they’ll give it a thumbs down. But as soon as they see the good reviews from that artist, on the sophomore album, they’ll give it 5 stars.
Not saying that WTT won’t be dope, but you have to make your own mind up when YOU hear the music.
And the reviews also said that the songs weren’t necessarily played in order at the listening session.
niggas,stop trippin ,album comes out in 2012. i know it
watch what i tell ya’ll now that frank ocean on “watch the throne” watch wvery rapper try to have him on there album watch what i tell ya. he dope as shit tho
If Jay dosn’t bring it on this album, he’s done.
/watch?v=mQTVaeG6riQ
I really don’t see how ‘Living So Italian’ = ‘Ni66as in Paris’..
Paris is in France, not Italy.. no ties there whatsoever, makes no sense..
Step ur topography game up LMAO
*every
That’s my bitch…let’s fuckin go
Mr Hudson kills everything, Frank Ocean as well. I like the features. Over/Under one “nigga” for Beyonce? That shit shocked me on “See Me Now,” lol. And “Living So Italian,” got left off. Fuck! Sample Clearance most likely? Andrea Bocelli and hip-hop would have been an interesting combination? But what ever! SOME1 GET US THE MEDIAFIRE LINK! ASAP.
Oh, just saw that. Thanks for the info, Shake.
Can’t wait!!!
something wrong with this list. you go to the site and pre-order it says you only get 10 tracks off the standard but this says 11
@Nowitzki Hell yeah man when i heard see me now i couldn’t believe Beyonce said nigga more than once on a recorded track lmao. Bet she does that shit again too. As for the track-list, as long as this doesn’t sound like corny radio hits then ill be fine. I am glad The Joy made it cause that is a fire record.
Niggas not reading what Shake said at all…he just said Living So Italian is track 10 With a Andrea sample…read b4 yall comment yo, makes you look stupid. Good lookin out Shake! This project need to drop fast.
If the world didn’t know about Frank Ocean.. they are about to find out
I’m hype for that otis redding joint.. nice
niggas in paris is produced by Hit-Boy
Surprised they didn’t find a way to throw an extra ’6′ into track 3′s title, just to fuck with people
looks like its going to be a problem
the joy is the shit
damn i didnt want frank ocean to blow. i wanted to feel like i was the only one that knew about his music.fuck.
So happy that The Joy will be on this. Hope to God they used those Madlib beats. If they don’t, they lose.
Damn this track list really gets me hopeful damn
I’m gonna buy this album, for sure, but I’ll be pissed if they Take Elly Jackson off ‘That’s My Bitch’
dam frank ocean is one lucky mufugga, 2 songs on some classic shit like this
If Jay dosn’t bring it on this album, he’s done.<<<< cosign
^^^ STFU and go listen to Jays last album
AMBER ROSE/RIHANNA NUDES –> http://tinyurl.com/3lvdf9l

B) DETOX
C) TM103

E) COLE WORLD
@rell: No, Frank Ocean is in Odd Future… everybody in OFWGKTA is signed with other labels. Tyler is under XL, Mellowhype is with Fat Possum, and obviously Frank has been on Def Jam… research shit before you make yourself look like an idiot.
2DB NEVER POST ANYTHING ON FRANK OCEAN
I know Shake tight, people from Odd Future still penetrate this site!
I love the fact that the only features are singers & no other rappers. That’s how shit needs to be.
@rell (aka Mr. talkin shit)

Should we expect you to stop posting about the project now that Frank Ocean is featured?
^^^ lolol
Living So Italian is called New Day.

I don’t like to start up false drama but I think frank ocean wased used to rival drake…Think about it, that’s all im saying..

@willypilgrim- The cover is going to be made of metal, and it was designed by the head of Givenchy.
@ear2ear- Supposedly Lift Off is gonna drop this week, but literally the entire promo for this album has been through rumors.
