Despite the fact that virtually no album goes un-leaked these days, one manager believes that his camp has discovered a way to keep one of the most highly-anticipated Hip Hop albums from getting to the masses ahead of time.
John Meneilly, Jay-Z’s manager, believes that Jay and Kanye West’s album, Watch The Throne, is on lock down. “It is not going to leak,” tweeted Meneilly.
The claim is particularly bold, as many artists have unsuccessfully tried to keep their albums from leaking, but to no avail.
As an added measure against leaking, the digital and physical release dates were paced, with the iTunes release landing on August 8, and all other digital and physical releases on August 12.
The duo is set to tour in support of the album, beginning with an October 29 show in Detroit.

you mind lettin the rest of us kno how to do this? because cole is ur artist and he cant even keep tracks off his album already out there
Albums that leaked:
Every single last one of them.
Albums that didn’t leak:
None of them.
Actuall “Skyzoo & Illmind- Live From The Tapedeck” didn’t leak, so it’s possible
LOL @ comparing Skyzoo & Illmind and Jay-Z & Kanye West. The anticaption for the latter is in another world.
Betch the album prolly won’t be as good as skyzoo and illmind, I mean these guys had russell crowe sitting in on their studio sessions lol that no way to make a classic hip-hop album. The album people need to check is Median- The Sender, he the second best rapper from the justus league behind phonte and sound like 9the wonder gave dude some great beats. Dude is a beast and he’s hungry. If u didn’t check his his last album “Median’s Relief” in 2007 its because most people where distracted by Kanye’s Graduation and Jay-Z’ American Gangster, medians relief is on those albums level if not better.
I know, it was a great album. But I didn’t want to say that anticipation equates quality.
Just more fuel for the hype of this LP. Hope it’s worth it.
I will give them credit… This joint isn’t being seen anywhere. The one that was out has a password.
just downloaded it haha
Those hackers need to get to work…

damn i found this typing in watch the throne leak hahahaha
im pissed tho for real, i want this shit
The easiest way to keep an album from leaking is releasing it digitally first, isn’t it?
check this music out
theverbalist.bandcamp.com
are the message boards down?
leaking in 3…2…
helps a little even though the itunes version will leak same day as digital release.. Just prevents it leaking early.
Man, even if this joint does leak I’m not fucking with it until the release date. These fools gonna go headhunting if it leaks early lol.
They think so?
I’ve read completely different story over here – http://sxy.lc/vVu
Already downloaded , xO XO
It doesnt make a difference, im still downloading the shit off the bay for free
HAAHAH! me toO!
the fact that it hasnt leaked yet is a accomplishment by itself. most of the recent albums ive purchases legally leaked several months before the release date, nd we are a week away. not bad
it has leaked…
y lie? lol
how the fuck did i lie i downloaded it as i typed that message
the one i got was bundled with Detox. Watch the throne AND detox.zip. That makes it legit right?? GTFOH. you dont have shit!
even if it leaked in several places, the internet isnt blowing up, tracks rnt being posted on blogs, early reviews arent being issued. to the masses, this album is yet to come out. thats a good thing
If I am not mistaken, an album usually leaks when it goes to get mastered. They must be using someone in house to master this album if they really think it won’t leak
The album will leak on Sunday; That is is fact!
just typed it in google.. appears you can download it.. not that i actually want to.
Year right, i would swallow a bullet if i were you
yeah go download one of those torrents and see how fast you get virus, get your facts str8 lil homie
not a torrent geez..mediafire. haha fuckin aint downloading that shit anyway, rather listen to a symphony of bowel movements, to be honest.
he’s right i dl’d it this mornin n it was legit
and for the record its average as fuck the beats are dope but the lyrics are straight garbage, Kanye slaughters Jay pretty much all through it………….
google it theres links all over it leaked on the 1st of this month so any uploaded before then are prolly fakes any on that day your good to go
i all ready got it nigga hahah
lol at these fools going too file sharing sites and downloading anything that says “watch the thrown”. I would be surprised if the album doesn’t leak, we shall see though.
and for the record its average as fuck the beats are dope but the lyrics are straight garbage, Kanye slaughters Jay pretty much all through it
Liarr!!!
YEA IT HASN’T LEAKED AND THE PIRATEBAY ALSO GOT SHUT DOWN…
DUMBASSES IVE HAD WATCH THE THRONE FOR DAYS AND I HIT UP SKI BEATZ AND LAUGHED!!!!!!!!!
idiot….u aint got shheeeiiitt!
piratebay is not shut down retard and you aint go shit bitch.
piratebay isn’t shut down you moron
only way this isn’t leaking is by having several versions of the album with the tracks that were taken off after the HAM debacle…think 3 iterations of the album with tracks that can replace others.
still wont stop people from getting it for free tho
the fuck it won’t, i’m about to leak that shit right now.
LMAO
lol. u funny
really!…. you guys consider this news? when it actually does leak, then that will be newsworthy. all they said was it’s not gonna leak, big deal, all rappers say that shit.
The manager said it, genius.
To me this whole leaking business is a major problem. People sit on their computers all day looking for music to leak so they dont have to buy it. Whatever happened to spending your money on a product you found enjoyable ? But the fact is that many people just wait for the sites to release it early and then people will just say fuck itunes, amazon, or the music store and they get all their music for free.
I give it a couple hours!! by this time around 7pm im sure it’ll be online
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH3W26W8Z7U
fuck this album check this out niggaz n bitches! =]
as far as im concerned every real nigga shud watch—-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh0abgFa3Bk&feature=channel_video_title
Awe, that sucks….this means i’m going to have to wait to illegally download that shit…..aint no way i’m giving Jay or Kanye or their dumbass labels another penny.
I heard it leaked already. Some dude at work was talking about he has it and will show me today on his I phone. I will wait and buy it. It’s only 7.99 or 9.99 on i-tunes any way…
I can almost believe that.Jay-Z wants to control his release dates all the way meaning that he wants to deal directly with itunes..
NO more target or Walmart,just digital sales.
We living in the Ipod age so why not go to itunes(?)…
Itunes is the new distributor!
all ya saying you have it, please stop bullshitting. digital iTunes is air tight, people will start sending links and posting on the 8th at 12:00 am when it comes out not before so please stop lying to yaselves. you will still be able to download it illegally when it comes out like most people will. but aint noone driving around listening to the full album right now so seriously stop kidding yourselves. Youll be listening to it on the 8th with the rest of the world for free or if you buy the cd. doesnt matter.
nigga shoot yourself in the head for lieing, aint noone in the us or any other country riding around with that shit in their car, them niggas told jesus to wait til august 8th nigga .. haaaaaaaaaaa
LMAO! Thats cool Jay-z& Kanye. I’ll download it on the 8th…since you both are so rich. you dont need anymore money.
