With Kanye in Paris, Hov held a private listening session for Watch The Throne last night in NYC. Peep, YN’s faux hawk in the far right corner? Ha!
According to Billboard, Jay played 11 tracks. Odd Future’s Frank Ocean is featured on two. As of now, there’s no release date for the project.
Hov says it took three stages for the album to be completed. Some records were even scrapped for being too grandiose. The process stretched three continents (Australia, NY, LA, Paris) with him and Ye recording entirely together. He prefers not to release a traditional single, but hopes to shoot a video for the Beyonce-featured track, “Lift Off”.
Jay also revealed that he’s already two tracks in for his next solo album. One of them will also feature Frank Ocean.

Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
Love Frank Ocean… he is all over this Jay/KanYe project though. Watch the Throne better come with that fresh! I don’t wanna hear any of the same shit from either of them.
WATCH THE THRONE !
They gon’ out do it with Frank Ocean man, Watch The Throne is gonna be dope, but not as dope as Bad Meets Evil HELL: The Sequel. Kanyes’ Production needs to be insane on this project.
Watch the mutherfuckin throne….nd u people on this site say its Neva comin out….the roc h bastards….when u hot I’m hot nd when ur feet cold mines is sizzling…
Theses other rappers better push them release dates back. Bernie Mac voice: There’s gonna be Trouble, Trouble.
Release Date?
My nigga Frank Ocean getting some recognition that’s wassup. He on WTT and Jay next album? That’s a great look. Somebody mentioned a song called Lift Off on the other post relating to this. Hope its dope. But im more interested in the other features…or is it just Beyonce and Frank? And how many songs? Tracklist? Anything?
And Frank Ocean just sings right? He’s not a producer right? I feel like Tyler’s the producer but im not sure if Frank does too.
Games mixtape are going to be better then this shit, AUG 1 ST HOOD MORNING
@Errol Games
They said August 2nd I think
I already watch the throne when eminem and royce brought hell the sequel.
Unless this is the queens and princess throne.
HAHA@heajae…STOP sniffing that powder. Your typing nonsense lil homie.
so why didnt YN do a post since he was actually there
[...] of all, shout out to Rap Radar and YN for the picture! Last night in NYC, Jay-Z held a very private listening session for the [...]
What is the big fucking deal with Frank Ocean? Yea he can write but he cannot sing worth a shit. What is wrong with the music industry. Why push these SONGWRITERS as artists? Get out there and find the real singers. GOSH!
How can we say Watch The Throne > Hell: The Sequel (or vice versa) when we’ve only heard Em and Royce joint? Come on guys, lets at least hear WTT before we judge. Because if yall basing this solely off of “HAM” which wasnt great, innovative, or creative, then theres no comparison. You guys are assuming the rest of their album WILL BE great innovative, and creative but all we’ve heard is HAM which isnt any of those things. When was the last time any of yall have even played that song? How long were you bumping it?
I dont doubt that Jay and Ye will drop and great album but lets not make assumptions that it’ll be classic or better than anything else yet until they drop or leak something thats better than that HAM shit.
And whats up with that FOLLOW THE LEADER bullshit? All ya’ll do is post up a song with a retarded sentence… Nothing spectacular… Don’t get the big head.
WATCH THE THRONE KILLIN’ THE GAME! HA!
You know Watch the Throne is going to sell way more albums than em and royce collab cd!
no single no tracklist .. ok ..i think that bme it´s about lyrics and wtt it´s about beats .. not a big bad meets evil fan but how the fuck can you people say wtt>bme ? wtt it´s not even out yet . the fuck ?
Man says Jesus should stop bitching… and Jay-Z is first to work with him. No one noticed that one though
@ DJ
It’s possible…but what’s funny is that Em n Royce threw their album together from just messing around in the lab and look how well it did for an EP…aside from that Royce is nowhere as big of star as Yeezy is so I would hope that WTT would sell more…they’ve already scrapped a bunch of tracks and their taking their time…only makes sense right? If WTT flops it will be a sad day for hip hop.
WTT is gonna be great o guess!
BAD MEETS EVIL >>> THESE TWO QUEERS. YES KANYE IS THE BIGGEST FAG IN HIP HOP.
THEY CAN’T TOP HTS AND IT WAS NOT EVEN A FUCKING LP. SHIT JUST IMAGINE IF THEY MAKE A REAL ALBUM. THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL GAY-Z AND SISSY WEST CAN LAY VERSES LIKE MARSHALL AND ROYCE. JAY CAN’T SPIT FOR SHIT CUZ HIS MIND IS TOO RUSTY PLUS THAT FAG KANYE DON’T EVEN WRITE HIS OWN RHYMES. EVERYTHING I HEARD FROM WTT ALBUM IS STRAIGHT WACK AND A BEYONCE FEATURE?? IT’S WILL BE POP. THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BE BETTER THAN HTS WILL BE THE PRODUCTION OF THIS ALBUM SINCE IT’S AN LP PLUS THEY HAVE THE PRODUCER (BUT NOT AN ARTIST) KANGAY WEST.
@…
God you’re an idiot. Go find me the name of the song that that Frank Ocean quote came from. Don’t worry, I know it doesn’t really exist- I just want you to waste half your day before realizing it was a completely different dude, on a song that Frank Ocean had nothing to do with, because you are exactly THAT ignorant.
That Allhiphop.com review was pretty good. Can’t wait for the album.
Im excited for this BUT not as excited as I was for Bad Meets Evil HELL:The Sequel. I am pretty sure it wont sell as much as BME or be as good but…..yeah.
Like Royce da 5’9 saud “talk to me with a Kanye mouth, ill knock your bottom row of teeth out!”
Fuck this shit. It will be just as bad as Gay-Z’s other collaborative albums. Anyone remember that awful shit with Linkin Park? and ain’t this rapradar clown YN the biggest Jay dickrider of all time? I mean he will be anywhere if Jay’s present.
Nas will bring Hip Hop back with Life Is Good.
NASTY NAS >
Fuck the Throne!!…WATCH THIS!>>>>

B4 i read any comments, i should`nt be surprised if i read a lame comment stating “Jay always hopping on whoever hot to stay relevant.” They ignore the fact that rappers been messing with other producers since i believe Kane`s ITS A BIG DADDY THING 2nd album. I truly believe he was maybe the 1st rap artist to deal with different producers. Anyways, WTT is coming and i think that album will be the issue from now to next year and possibly beyond.
nas was working with frank ocean all of a sudden now jay working with him. jay stay on nas shyt
pussy

@ muzik ???
I’m gonna keep it 100!
NO ONE PLAYS BAD MEETS EVIL IN THE HOOD.
WATCH THE THRONE WILL BE PLAYED THOUGH.
So stop with damn EP already you closet fan losers!
@Nat Turner Who gives a fuck about the hood? As if the hood is buying albums and dictating the flow of hip hop these days. Fuck outta here.
LOL what the fuck are you niggas reading?? SMH their is no realese date
Any fuck these old niggas blocking my nigga Cole shine? Go retire camel face. Real talk fuck another weak lp from you. This nigga doesnt give a fuck about his team SMH
@Word or anybody else who hates HAM.
What was so bad about the song?
I think the beat was sick and Jays verse was on point.
The bad thing about HAM was Kanye’s verse and the track didn’t sound completed or mixed.
It was a leaked record. Half hate it and half love it.
Jay or Ye never said anything about the song, so obviously it had to be a throwaway.
Anyways I liked HAM and some ppl didn’t. NEXT!
Anyway
niggas have really got to chill with putting Royce on such a high pedestal as if y’all were fucking with him before he teamed up with Em….unless you’re a Slaughterhouse fan.
…..and niggas really got to chill with that “Jay is hopping on what’s new”…..that’s why oldheads like Jay & Busta are still live and breathing in hip-hop & some of your favorite artists are non-existent….ironic Jay & Busta went to the same high school and used to freestyle.
At Word, you are a highly emotional college student. What’s with the name calling bro?
Oh you don’t like being called a closet fan?
Oh you mad cause the hood is not playing BME?
Oh you mad cuz the hood sets it’s own rules and we not dictated by some snobby ass CEO’s?
You think we care about record sales in the hood nigga?
Nah niggaz just want to know if the hood love them and if so, the artist can get real money doing shows in the hood.
The Hood don’t love Em or Royce nigga, maybe in Detroit they do, but keep it real brat, you blow if the hood know.
DWELL ON THAT
I always hate your comments, you brat!
@Nat Turner What you mean nigga? These old niggas biting the South sound you see nothing wrong with that SMH
No originality just hoping on the hottest sound out ?Lex Lugar beats? And it was corny especially Kanye verse. Repeting Ham didnt help neither. I guess Rhymefest stop writing for that nigga
You got to admit that bringing Em name on every Jay post is exhasting. I mean Em got all the accolades and Jay gets the hate. Can this blackman do him already? @Nat Turner……cosign @ Word, you do seem easily bothered by 1`s opinion.
WHY IS GAY-Z OLD ASS STILL RAPPING!?
@ Converse, why does it matter if it’s south or east or west, where ever. If you black it’s not stealing, it’s a black cultural thing. If you wanna separate shit like that based on coastal areas, then you got to realize how bad these crackers brainwashed you son.
Don’t base a leaked, underproduced, unmixed and unauthorized song to determine how WTT is gonna sound. Do u honestly think Jay and Ye don’t know music?
Anutha thing, stop with the “old heads” talk, unless you think you gonna remain your same age and same looks somehow, then you should literally kill yourself now, cuz oneday YO ass will be considered an old head to.
YALL NIGGAZ NEED TO THINK MORE AND GATHER SOME FUCKING RESPECT FAM!
WHY THE FUCK IS OLD ASS FEMINEM STILL RAPPING TO? SMH AND YES BME WAS FUCKING WACK! WASNT EVEN HIPHOP SHIT WAS RAP! WEAK PUNCHLINE AND CORNY METAPHOR! CANT BELIEVE WHITE PEOPLE ACTUALLY BROUGHT THAT SHIT! NEVERMIND THEY ALSO THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT A POP ALBUM!? RECOVERY!
Stop overrating that BME album.damn!!
[...] Complex’s Noah Callahan-Bever was in the house and dished as much info as he could (remember what I said about Jay and control?) via Twitter. Shout out to Nah Right? and RapRadar. [...]

@Nat Turner
^
What you mean? Thats hip-hop thats the way it always been. We separate coast so their want just be one sound. I know it sound crazy but it jvst dont seem genuie when a Northern rapper rap on that type of beat. Sometime you dont wanna hear the same sound over and over again. So what I am implying, is that their will eventually become one sound? Their nothing unique about that. Why you think the South is hot now? Because people got bore hearing the same old sound if that make sense.
And to the?old head comment? Nah I got love and respect for the people who pave the way. I was just ranting bruh dont take it personal. I just think Jay is to focus on his self and not his crew? He doesnt wanna take the backseat, I know im not the only one who feel that way.
BME will never be over rated, and this albums gonna just as dope. Great year for hip hop fans.
