Fuck ya’ll hating ass, whining ass niggaz. These two are the best, fuck your underground bullcrap washed up rappers.
I didn’t know Rappers lived in the underground, I only thought emcees lived there. But I must agree I cannot wait to see what these two marquee names have come up with? After this album I await Phonte’s upcoming release and then Common’s November release. Hip Hop is starting to taste good again.
Watch the Throne <<< One of my turds
This could be the first album thats not leaking before it’s release date.
Hope this lives up to the hype. I have triedif I multiple times today to find a leak
no luck. So I might just have to preorder it on itunes. But can anybody tell me if it really leaked? and also if I preorder it do I get it on sunday or the day it comes ot?
When will this shit leak????
@bill, the album comes out in like a day and a half. You can’t wait that long?
Excited to hear this joint. And 24 Hour Karate School 2 comes out the same day I believe. Dopeness.
Stop begging for a leak, you’re not getting one. They paid a lot of $$$ for some high tech shit to make sure it’s impossibe for any of the songs to leak. That is coming from Jay’s manager.
c4 promo is still better
Otis = mediocre
H.A.M. = something lower than that
to be honest, I can’t possibly be hype for this, Jay-Z can’t even flow the same..
How are you people not noticing this, the album is titled “Watch The Throne” and they have a cross, of all things, placed on their promos. What does that tell you?? These masons are out to take Jesus’s throne.. OPEN YOUR EYES.
@Musicman: If you preorder on iTunes, you will be able to download the album at midnight eastern time, tomorrow night.
@OPENmind: they want you to think like that…but the reality is, it’s a marketing ploy to get people talking. Controversy sells, but we all know that Jesus is King…these two are on rap’s throne, legends in their own right.
Better than that last shit. Still okay, though.
If you not feeling Otis then you need to stop listening to hip hop all together cause you dont understand it. Every duo in rap probably has a version of that song and with all the bubble gum music out there , when Otis comes on it just sounds like punch somebody in the face music. No matter what haters are gonna say WTT aint dope even if its the greatest album they ever heard but really everybody knows whats up. This album is gonna be crazy.
I ordered the physical disc from their watch the throne site. I received an email saying my cd will ship out aug. 12th, but I will recieve the digital download monday while I wait on my cd. I thought that was pretty dope.
@marty mcfly
How you gon tell someone what they can or can’t feel? SMH
@ Pauly Dee (Me Gusta!!)
Normally I would agree w/ you but if you’re not feeling “Otis” then kill yourself.
NYCityREP
I never said that I didn’t feel Otis, its an okay track. But the point is people should have the right to not feel it if they don’t like it.
^ lol exactly. ppl asking for real hiphop. then u get a real hiphop track. and blantantly hate on it for personal reasons.
@BILL, MUSIC MAN, ALL OF YOU CHEAP ASS PEOPLE GET OUT OF YOUR FEELINGS CAUSE THE ALBUM WON’T LEAK AT ALL, WHY YOU BUY A ALBUM FOR A CHANGE INSTEAD, REALLY YOU CAN’T 24 HOURS NOW.
@Pauly Dee
I see where you’re coming from. And other dudes that think like that is the reason Jay and Ye can’t win(as far as opinions go, cause they’re gonna rape in sales). You’re saying it’s an okay track. C’mon son. It’s a good song. What exactly are you exactly are you expecting from these two? What exactly was bad or sub-par about H.A.M. or Otis? Nothing. People just feel the need to be condescending when something big is happening. When Jesus walked on water I’m sure there were niggas that said, “So, that don’t mean shit.” I fully respect your opinion tho.
This album has to prove a lot of things, and Jay and Ye know that. They have to show their still “hip” and “forever young”(H.A.M.), they have to prove to “hip-hop heads” that they can still spit and they’re still soulful(Otis), they have to prove they’re still ahead of the game and can still set trends, and in between that, there must be absolutely no filler or bullshit. Just good and solid songs. So far the songs have been solid. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid. Most likely this album won’t even sound like a “classic” when we first hear it. But it will probably grow, then people will see, like all classics. Nobody, NOBODY, was saying The College Dropout was a classic 04-08, same with Reasonable Doubt. And those albums didn’t have mind blowing songs, just good, and clearly inspired by life music. Hip-hop heads are just spoiled nowadays, and bitter. Kendrick Lamar’s album is already being called a classic. Why? I heard absolutely nothing on that album that I haven’t heard before. I do honestly believe that Section 80 will be a classic. Good concepts, no filler, good production, solid songs, inspired music. If they can do all of the things I mentioned above, keep there cool, and release a good solid album with not just good rap songs, but good songs in general, then why wouldn’t this album be called a classic?
^I always said that College Dropout was classic. It just connected with me on that level when I first heard it. I see where you coming from though.
REAL TALK OTIS IS ONLY A “CLASSIC” BECAUSE IT BELONGS TO THE 1950′S! ONLY OLD WASHED UP BUMS FEEL MUSIC THAT HAS AN OLD DRUNK MAN REPEATEDLY SCREAMING IN THE BACKGROUND ON SOME SOUL GLOW TYPE SHIT SMH.. I’M ANXIOUS TO HEAR WTT BUT THAT [O]UTDATED [T]RACK [I]S [S]HITTY!
^LOL yea man. Very few people thought that tho.

I look at it like this , how many albums does Kanye have that aint dope? One and thats it , that 808 shit and how many albums did Jay have that wasnt dope? Maybe one or two cause all his albums have something on it that people liked at the time. So what are the chances of WTT not being dope? Very small because both these artists deliver 9 times outta ten. Kanye had 4 dope albums outta 5 and Jays only bad albums to me were Unfinished Business with R Kelly and Collision Course with Linkin Park.
Great second comment by @Airborne right there!!! Gonna trace it right here…

@OPENMind
You’re a fucking idiot that believes fantasy stories because reality is too boring for you. Please… open YOUR eyes.
@Airborne….Reasonable Doubt yea, but College Dropout nobody was calling that a classic from 04-08? Than what other reason did Late Registration do 800,000+ the first week? Word of mouth? That’s a little farfetched. Haven’t listened to the snippets or nothing on this because they did it old school – drop a few singles and then you wait til drops. Otis is a dope song. It doesn’t wow you, but it’s a dope song. It’s not so much they have to prove anything because they just dropped albums within the past 2 years so they arn’t that removed from the game. It’s just the expectations are too high across the board so that leaves room for some to knock it, when the shit on honest ears might or should be a classic. Muthafuckas hear Kanye and Jay are doing an album they are expecting the greatest things they’ve ever done in music to be replicated together on one disc. Classic albums go beyond just having good songs and concepts, shit more has to do with defining a era, which for this remains to be seen.
Dude, you missed the whole point. Nobody called it a classic because it was still new. How is something brand new going to be a classic? Something has to stand the test of time before it can have that title.
^You missed the whole point. I didn’t say people were saying that the album wasn’t a very good album. I’m saying that it was not considered a classic, because it was new. How is something that’s brand new a classic? It has to stand the test of time, and still be relevant. Timeless = Classic. How would people see that in four years? Do you think Kid Cudi’s first album is a classic? You kind of proved yourself wrong at the end of your post. Who knew CD would define an era when it was just released? You have to look back to see things like that, right?
