News
The Throne is now covered in gold. After two weeks, Watch The Throne has now moved 612,911 copies. The album also remains at the top of the Billboard charts. Black excellence!
Chuck about to get em.
great album
lil wayne is scared about his numbers so he copied his hero and he will do good cause he got all the lil kids brainwashed but i bet their parents dont know what their spending their pocket money on
“wayne copied his hero”
are you fucking stupid? IANAHB went to itunes ONE MONTH before the physical release.. believe it or not kanye west isnt the only innovative rapper in the game
Game will be lucky to move 150k. Fact.
Fuck watch the throne. And this bullshit as “Black excellence” shit. Rappers are black besides eminem. They just can’t make good music which is why it don’t sell. Cole world 9/27 stand up and support
good numbers but disappointing album
of course you have to put that ” black excellence ” shit ..
@99 Problems: doesn’t matter how many records game sell, Red Album shitted on WTT. Fact, nigga.

@nas – g.o.a.t.

how is it disappointing? shit is fire to me.
Fact is WTT is a classic and rated 10.0 Red rated 8.0. Stop hating and go listen to that weak album. Wayne better do number he got 10 singles out right now and MTV play his promo every break.
@ Nas & @ White CLoud – Please listen to lyrics and stop dick riding. If you had any knowledge of self you would know there are gems on the album that speak to much larger issues that we need to address as a people. (human race)
WTT IS L-I-F-E MUSIC……..if you don’t like it, so what??? Millions of other ppl do.
ppl forget. WHEN UR ON A BLOG……ALL UR DOING IS GIVING UR OPINION. (every 1 who can breathe has one….doesn’t make YOURS more special)
WTT is FOR YOU IF:
-Ur NOT a paper hater
-U actually have personal/professional accomplishments to celebrate
-U actually like hearing really good rhymes AND really good production on 1 album from 2 of the top 5 hip hop artist in last 10 years (easily).
WTT ISN’T FOR YOU IF:
-Ur a paper hater (most paper haters don’t even know they are though)
-U have nothing to celebrate OUTSIDE of OTHER PPLS failures
-U think wacka/gucci/game are in the top 10 of anything good in hip hop.
Explaining why WTT is good is like explaining why you like the color blue. If you get it, you get it. If not, you don’t.
and haters said he flopped.. lets see what weak numbers game does..

well done!!
WTT is a classic its ART
and RED on the other hand was dope too.. hope it goes plat!
this shit is good for HIPHOP! we gotta win as a genre!!!
RED LP>>>>>>WTT
And I don’t even fuck with the Game like that. IMO, thus far, RED is the best lp I heard this yr, tho that’s
not saying much. WTT is dope, I just wanted to be blown away and I wasn’t. Props to Jay and ‘Ye tho,
they’re doing their thing. Got my tickets for the Miami show!!!
To be totally honest, I really think Game came out with a better album. WTT is pretty average
“most important album in hip hop history” still got me laughing my black ass off…
Congrats!
Section.80 and Red Album
WTT was an album?
^
I thought it was a mixtape? damn that shit was horrible!
HAHHAH MORE DICK RIDING BY YN AND ELLIOT WILSON.
THESE FAGGOTS HAVE NO PRIDE WHAT SO EVER, THEY WOULD SELL THERE SOUL JUST HAVE KANYE OR JAY TO LIKE THEM
YN AND ELLIOT WILSON ARE LIKE THE DESPERATE TEENAGE GIRLS WHO REALLY WANNA BE WITH THE INCROWD SO THEY DO WHAT EVER TO GET IN WITH THEM
FUCK THESE SPINELESS WORTHLESS FAGGOTS.
The most important album in hip hop history? Wtf? At least game came with solid lyrics ad production. Jay and ye just walking around flaunting their money? Which 80 percent of their listeners can not relate to. So fuck wtt.
Red > wtt
^^^^^^^
U do realize that YN and Elliot Wilson r the SAME person right?
@ dead serious you right man every person I know that hate Jay broke and nothing going for them self.
This Album is garbage. Worst Jay-Z album by far.
You haters need to listen to Jay before u hate WTT has more deep songs then u think. You guys want a killing spree on ur CDs r some love songs. WTT talks about everything.
On the real Game album is way better. thats my opinion.
@deadserious
Exactly! That’s why I don’t even bother to explain it anymore. You can tell who’s by reading the comments.
R.E.D album>>WTT
R.E.D was an incredible album, WTT is great but not as good as R.E.D or Section 80
WTT is HOT. It took bout 5 times to really like it but once u listen amd not jus skim, ull understand this great piece of work…i wouldnt say classic but 10 years from now i cN say yea that was a coo album
Recovery shits on these numbers
WATCH THE THRONE is now the SECOND best project by a Rap Duo > http://www.mediafire.com/?1eyc6jc7hqcqit9

WTF bought that? Tha Carter IV and Take Care is gonna sale more anyway.
Tha Carter IV in stores August 29th and Take in stores October 24th…
How can you say that the RED album is a better overall album then Watch The Throne. DO u guys listen to music… are do you just skim through it???? 95% of Game’s album was features… he PROBABLY put one 16 on each song…. thats it! And in every one of them 16’s he was name dropping every 4 bars.
There was no overall theme for the album and/or something different we haven’t heard or aren’t hearing on the radio right now. Atleast Jay & Ye aren’t afraid to push the envelope with there music. IMO… “””Loiterers Should Be Arrested.”””
PS. Co-Sign @DeadSerious —> Most of these niggas commenting never been on a plane before, muchless out the country.
WATCH THE THRONE NIGGAZ RUNNING SHIT….. JIGGA GETZ HIS 12TH NUMBER ONE ALBUM…… WHERE IS EMINEM ???? WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

The Rolling Stones (9) (tie)
Bruce Springsteen (9) (tie)
Barbra Streisand (9) (tie)
Wow, i cant believe there are 612,911 sheep who bought this shit.
Its sad to see a talent like Hov had, wasted on this faggotry. Albums got dope beats, but worse verses then a Waka Flocka Gucci Mane track.
Kanye stays wack as fuck. Fuck you and your momma if you disagree.
@Black where is Eminem? Eminem just outsold these clowns with an EP thats actually lyrical and not “life music” haha what a fucking joke. its like rick ross and gucci mane fans saying “he’s an entertainer” sure sure….or they just suck at rapping.
@JayMalls
Nigga Hip Hop NEVER been an art form for those flying through the clouds and poppin bottles and all the rest of that swaggerific lame bullshit. Hip Hop is for the streets, for the gutter fam, them niggas struggling on the block.
“What the hell happened to ya hip hop, artists with names like Terminator X and Furious 5 once preached about social awareness and political englightenment. When did fight the power become wait till you see my dick” David Allen Grier
Yeah WTt was whack!
damn lil wayne dissing jay!! ‘i got your baby money; kidnap yo bitch and see how much you love yo lady money’ Music: Lil’ Wayne Feat. Jadakiss & Drake- “It’s Good” (Jay-Z Diss) – http://tinyurl.com/3phus3p
If you’re hating on ” Watch the Throne then you must be white or just to young to understand the deep messages of this album. This album is more political art then pop art. I can understand why a lot of you you are hating on it, as real world issues are not your concern.
What you all must realize is that Jay and Kanye can not stay 21 for ever… Finally these 2 are standing for something and starting to care a lot more about the social climate of the black race. This stuff gets talked about all the time by other rappers, but let`s face it there is just way more meaning as well power when Jay and Kanye speak on it.
Watch the Thorn is a true barometer of the times that we live in and how we should be trying to make a change as a race.
WTT 5 mics> Game who cares not even relevant
One more thing my comment is not meant to be racist so before all you crabs start coming at me let it be known!
ITS JUST BLACK SUPER HERO MUSIC!! WHAT MORE CAN I SAY…
people are stupid and dont understand rap if they dont understand how great this album is… lil wayne is not innovative… and game is all the west coast has and he does not compare to ye or hova… numbers do not lie…
^
i only find two skippable tracks.
@B.DOT
which 2 tracks?
I don’t even find that – welcome to the jungle hook and beat was ehh and lift off should’ve been on beyonce’s album, that don’t mean it ain’t a good song. Anyone saying production was better on RED>WTT then saying Section.80 is the best out this year is a hypocrite.
If you guy actually listen to WTT …it’s not about them flaunting or boasting about how much money they have… it’s about the black community and their celebration on the whole album being used as a blueprint to get what you want in life, whatever it is and being happy about it.. WTT is a celebration album for both YE and JAY.. they deserve the money they have to up against majority of the world they want all blacks to feel and understand where they are coming from.. use WTT has a blueprint, ambition to better yourself….
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
FAGGOTS STOP MENTIONING HOV THE G.O.A.T. AND THE BIPOLAR GAMES NAME TOGETHER.
GAME IS SLATED TO SELL 90-95K ON OPENING WEEK. HAAAA HAAA,. CHECK HITSDAILYDOUBLE.COM ASSHOLES. LMFAO.
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
LOL @ the tongue in cheek comment “black excellence”. The guy who rights these news reels has his head so far up his ass, the only thing he sees is black & brown!!
I could go on about this comment 10000 ways + 1 but I learnt constructive criticism on the internet is futile from way back… so I’ll just leave it at “suck a dick haters”… thats more suitable for some ignorant fucks like yourself.
