For those who would’ve preferred the video shot in Paris, here’s The Throne’s hit mashed-up with scenes from the film, Midnight In Paris. Tres bien?

“I met a red-bone, I took the girl home/I asked her what she wanna watch, she said, ‘Surely not The Throne’” During the YMCMB pre-Grammys party at Paramount Studios last night, Tune gave a moment of silence for Whitney Houston and announced signing Christina Milian. At the 3:50 mark, he also tosses a pebble Jay and ‘Ye’s way. Oy vey. Surley, Weezy will be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen. More footage from the festivities below.

Here is something cray. A musician by the name of Big Homie The Theorist hits the keys for his interpretation of The Throne’s big hit. It’s been a great week for Asians. Not bad at all, kid.

Guess this explains the multiple performances. After months of waiting, here’s The Throne’s kaleidoscopic video. The Staples Center‘s cool, but imagine this being shot in, let’s say, Paris?! Ah well, too little too late. Watch The Throne in stores now.

Chris Rock wants to hit the road again and bring Dave Chappelle along for the ride. In fact, he tells Vulture that he was inspired by Jigga and Kanye and their collaborative effort. “I’ve been talking to Chappelle a lot. Been trying to get Chappelle to go on tour. You know I’m not the hard one laughing. But I’m trying to make that happen. After seeing Kanye and Jay-Z, I was like, ‘Me and Dave should do this.’ Hell yeah! […]

You are now watching the Throne—at the top of our list. Easily. What sounded like every rap fan’s dream on paper finally came true in early August. Jay-Z and Kanye recorded their masterpiece across the globe with producers Hit-Boy, RZA, Pete Rock, Swizz Beatz, Q-Tip, and The Neptunes. Mrs. Carter and Mr. Hudson are also featured but it’s Frank Ocean who ceases the moment, nailing the choruses of the opener “No Church In The Wild” and the moving “Made In […]

Folks of all races skated to one song and this one song only. Over Hit-Boy’s heavy drums and electrifying bridge, Jay and Ye displayed their balling antics on tilt that made even the poorest man wanna dig in his pocket to cop a bottle of bubbly. The Will Ferrell Blades Of Glory-sample during the break was actually quite fitting since we needed a time out from all the kinetic energy. Thankfully the bars were as strong as the bounce. From […]

Before the album even dropped, this song was a movement by itself. Son! Do you remember how this pass-the-mic, soul sample-packed lyrical exchange shook the rap game up? Over Otis Redding’s “Tenderness,” this nigga Kanye told YMCMB to “tuck their whole summer in.” Crazy! Hov’s callin the paps on himself? This shit still give me chills. Run it back! Maybe Flex likes this shit more than me. But not by a lot. Ha!
