With so much star power driving Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne, it’s a wonder the project has seen so many delays and so few hard release dates.
It appears, however, that iTunes has finally provided the latter. Maybe.
The digital retailer has revealed that Monday, August 8, is the “expected release” date of the album. With that caveat of “expected” in mind, standard and deluxe editions of the album are available for pre-order.
HipHopDX previously reported that the official release dates were August 1 and August 5 for digital and physical releases, respectively. It is unclear whether the physical release date has been affected.
[July 24]
UPDATE: A trailer has been released for the album, dropping this Monday on iTunes.

that album cover is pretty gay
people are going to dickride this album soooooo hard, regardless of the quality
i just honestly think that kanye is going to go the closest he’s been to graduation and college dropout in a long time and i’m excited
you would be excited, you love drake
donny, you homosexual justin bieber fan.
p.s. kanye and mister cee been havin relations lately.
we “dickridin” it bcuz we no it’z gon b a classic album. jay! and kanye make real muzik while ur favrite rappaz bore me 2 death.
I knew I shouldn’t got my hopes up for August 1st
both of them are fags
You the fag coming here & posted on something you don’t care about. Hater nowadays I swear
ur a bigger fag!
*Yawn*
Wake me up when somebody who doesnt sit around rappin bout their money and Swag drops a record
u gon have a long sleep then, hater!
Both of these guys are trash now. Jay is too old for this shit. Good thing he already knows Weezy holds the throne. Drake and Wayne are gonna shit on this AND Bad Meets Evil. Haters better recognize.
lol @ wayne having “the throne”
name one good song he released since prison
Name one good song he released since that shit show the Carter 3…
Here come the haters. LOL. Since when was Tha Carter 3 a shit show? If I recall it won a grammy. When was the Last time Jay won one of those? HAHAHA! Lil Wayne would rip his ass apart. Ether part 2!
Ok I didnt even like BME that much it will still be a thousand times better than that piece of shit that drake and wayne are gonna make. Drake cant rap for shit and wayne hasnt been good since tha carter 2. so what that it won a grammy? justin bieber almost won a grammy lol
grammys just mean you are a sellout popstar
Jay’s won a grammy more recently than wayne fuckwad.
Lil Wayne make an ether would NEVER, let me repeat NEVER would happen. Lil Wayne can’t battle, fuck it, he can’t even freestyle & Drake can’t either. Their joint album is gunna sound like the rest of their shit. They don’t move forward creatively at all.
wayne is a bum who never mad a classic album. he will never measure to big, pac, jay, nas, krs, rakim, cube, dre, kanye, etc. nobody remembers block is hot, lights out, -500 degrees NOBODY.
shut da fuck up, gayson. kanye and jay-z! still hold da throne. if lil gayne iz holdin any throne, it’z da faggot throne. he lovez birdman’z lipz. and jay! 1 3 grammyz earlier diz year, beating feminem and evry1 else fuck boi! go suck lil gayne’z and flake’z dickz. FUCK CUM MONEY!
Bad meets evil sucks…
carter 3 was awesome.
watch the throne looks good.Kanye is in his prime right now..
Nas can’t battle either. Ether is the most overrated piece of garbage I’ve ever heard. It sounds like insults were recorded on a schoolyard. I hate Wayne personally, but I can admit the truth. His wordplay and punchlines are far better, at least he’s able, compared to Nas, to drop some double entendres.
@jason, Im a wayne fan also, but lets be honest here, when him & drake do their collaboration album , who do you think there going to get their creative blueprint from?? yeah kanye & jay….
im sorry did you just say lil wayne is better than nas?
Let’s play a game. It’s called “Name one track since..” and use it when talking about Wayne’s track record.
Best part is you lose regardless, every time.
Just let people make art for art’s sake. Jesus. There is no game. It’s just art. Live with it.
Kanye and Jay put everything into their albums, yet some people can’t seem to respect that?
If you don’t like the music, fine. But don’t call it a waste.
Jay and Kanye are the two niggas everyone wanna fuck wit. That WaTch The Throne gonna be straight fire
who cares for this gay hiphop.
jay and kanye used to be cool back in the days now they are just some faggots with skinny jeans who make poprap
you cared enough to come huh?? stupid ass!
ur a lame. kanye, jay-z! and roc nation/g.o.o.d. muzik make dat real hip hop. leave da pop rap 4 cum money/fag money.
wtf you still wearing oversized baggy jeans?!
You’re totally right man, what people wear ALWAYS represents the quality of their music, you’re so clever.
lol u niggas hatin know its gonna be a nice album. thats whats really funny to me. i mean cmon…u listen to this album and dont’ like atleast 2 or 3 joints then you should never listen to hiphop again or speak on it….cuz ur a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. fuck boyz
trooth speakz da truth!
The album isnt out and your already telling us atleast 2-3 tracks are good….
And it isn’t out and everyone else is telling us that all of the tracks are bad. What’s your fucking point?

Some of these hip-hop fans seem to be confused to me. Blinded by their own insecurities are something I swear. Now a days it’s just a bunch of haters, no one seems to be satisfied with anything. If you don’t like something, then why worry about it? Why don’t you grow up & move along? Instead they act as if everything is intentionally aimed towards them or something. You realize the world doesn’t revolve around you right?? Then their is the people who call you a dick rider if you like something. Seriously?? You can’t like anything anymore or you’re a dick rider? It’s funny though, everyone thinks their opinion matters when it only really matters to them. Same goes with this little rant I’m posting.
My suggestion is make your own decisions. Stop being a follower & lead your own path. If you like something then like it, if you don’t like something then don’t worry about it & move along.
It’s funny how people are going to hate on something that hasn’t even came out yet. I have no opinion on this project so far to be honest. I like some of Ye’s & Jay’s work but we’ll see. I personally thought MBDTF was a decent project. It didn’t have much replay value to me (my personal opinion). Recently, Jay hasn’t impressed me either. I still want to hear it though & have hope it’ll be a great project. Hopefully it’ll be good music to get me through the days, if not, I’ll find something else that is relatable.
cosign
cooooool story bro
You’ll find something else relatable?! What?! I don’t know you, but more than likely your life is nowhere near being remotely close to the life that Kanye and
Jay-Z represent.
Just sayin’.
@ ??? , I dunno man I think a lot of people can relate to Kanye’s lyrics, especially when he’s talking about how many mistakes he has made with women etc.
Yeah dude fukn totally understand where ya comin from, long as comment n all, its crazy ya know its crazy they jus dont get it, a guy like you a guy like me, yeah we get it they dont but we do so yeah Unrelatable they dont understand but we know its jus that sometimes ya need to let it loose under the covers then hold there head under it ya smell me?
^^huh?
NIGGA SHUT THE FUCK UP THE ONLY CONCERNED NIGGA IS YOU FOR WRITING A FUCKING ONE PAGE POST ON SOME BULLSHIT KILL YO SELF BITCH ASS FAGGOT
blah blah blah shut up cunt i can say what i want bitch if i dont like i dont like it,im not a pussy bitch like you to break down after reading somebodies comment if it affects you that much what people say then you have no life and are soft the in the middle pop tart
u haterz gon listen 2 da album n-e-wayz. when da album review for watch da throne comez out, u lame fuckz all gon b there hatin on it n-e-way. just admit it, u waitin 4 diz album az much az evry1 else iz. yall so laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
RNGMB BITCH! WATCH DA THRONE NIGGAZ!
Dog, i understand your frustration and everything..but do you really have to respond to every “hater” on this post? Is Jay paying you for this my dude? If not, I would put my efforts into something a bigt more productive. Just sayin
Watch the Throne will suck just like BP3. Do these guys have anything else to rap about other than surface level sh*t? I dont care about cars, jewelry, houses, etc. Give me quality content!
Agreed with the post above. They rap about stuff I could care less that they have and they arent lyrical (atleast Jay isnt anymore.)
fuck jay z im gonna burn 100 copies and seed to 100 gigs fuck them niggaz but yeah im still gonna bump they shit for free all day and review it hoe so fuck u faggot ass bitch stan
Listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. If you do and you can’t get anything out of it, you’re a fucking retard who doesn’t deserve a privilege like music.
And let me reiterate that THAT WAS JUST 10 MONTHS AGO.
dx previously reported that the official release date was July 4th. If you want accuracy regarding release dates instead of grabbiness… go to a different site.
Those were only rumours man, HHDX clearly stated that. It’s not their fault your dumb ass fell for that one.
Its not fair dude its jus not fuckn fair, i’m sick of this back n forth stuff i mean damn yeah whoa yeah liars sheesh, HAAAAAAA!!!
This shit is gayer than that faggot Dj Mister Cee
Follow @SugaRHill_BaBY ON twitter
I see the fire which u kids burn in. u can never take away Kanye & Jay-Z from Hip-Hop. they changed the game. u hipsters and Tyler the Creator and Lamar cock riders should listen to The Throne. cuz u hipsters basically fucked up and fail. FUCK da OF
Hey I’m really looking forward to this album too, but come on don’t talk shit about Tyler the creator and OF They’re doing new and creative things for hip-hop as well, and also remember that OF Member Frank Ocean is featured on 2 songs on WTT.
fuck you too hater
this trailer is unnecessary…to build more hype should have played a piece of another song besides that otis bullshit
The folks who run this are acting as though this is the best collabo in history(it’s very from it) with all the articles and ish…. It’s like every move they make it’s written about…. So if they take a shit standing up while creating this album are we gonna hear about it too…
I aint hating either, cuz I’m not sure I’ll buy the album, though I will give it a listen to see if it’s worth spending my loot on, but damn do we need to have so many articles dedicated to this ish when there are other good albums coming out too…
I wouldn’t buy this album if my life depended on it. Fuck I wouldnt even illegally download it. Jay-Z is old as fuck, and he’s a biter of the “new school” style. Kanye butchered an Otis Reddng Classic. Fuck, I’d rather buy 10 R.E.D albums than this shit.
Kill Yo self
how much you wanna bet this dude will have the album
Haha this nigga said he’d rather buy 10 RED albums, you must hate them.
go kill yourself
10 G.A.Y. albumz? wow, kill urself when wtt dropz.
jayz invented the word SWAGG, he took the ‘er’ out of the word ‘swagger’ BTW, no other rapper was sayin swagger before jay , Jay-Z>>>>> new school
Psalm 133 How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the LORD has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting.~~It is nice to see true BROTHERLY LOVE in the music industry! Where true friendships are really hard to keep. I Love you Kanye and Jay! :)) God is smiling.
And both of them are AETHIST. thankuverymuch.
cant wait..
Every comment on here either has a misspelled word, a grammatical error, or a homophobic slur.
Yeah, your opinion is valid.
Welcome to hip hop.
The internet breeding a whole generation of idiots…and that’s funny given all the knowledge it gives us access to. Welcome to the end of days, kid.
This CD, with all its hype, promotion, delays and Otis remixes, still won’t be as great as The Roots’ last 3!!!
This Summer is huge!
Carter IV
RED
Watch the throne
All dropping around the same time!
Gotta admit im not looking forward to this album.. i didnt even know it was coming out. My money is on the GAME’s RED ALBUM
that’s why your a bitch
yeah, enjoy da G.A.Y. album by hip hop’z biggest atention whore.
I have never posted on here until I read someone comparing Lil Wayne to NaS…I love and respect all music as art(even though some is ignorant at best)…but thats like comparing Grant Hill to Jordan…he had his run…but he sure as hell isn’t the greatest. Peace
Lil wayne should just not be talked about when your talking about best or greatest rapper….. AT ALL
lil gayne and nas r both wack!
With all of this commercialization and all regarding the project… damn I’m having flashbacks to “Kingdom Come”.
(shaking my head)
And we all know how that ended.
(shaking my head)
Not saying that this LP will be similar and as shitty… but the signs are pointing towards that something fierce.
Just give us a product worthy of attention. MBDTF was cool and horribly overrated at the same time. It sure was better than Jay-Z’s last 3 weed plates and coasters nonetheless.
Who said Lil Wayne was comparable to Nasir? See this is the type of foolery I’m talking about these days. Wayne hasn’t been worth a damn since Carter II truthfully.
Just give us a product that’s good by unbiased, uncommerical, and this day and age of where wackness is accepted standards.
I still recall when Kingdom Come released and you had people actually defending it saying it was nice. After the first listen, I had to listen to it again just to make sure I wasn’t trippin on it being wack as f. American Gangster was ok but really it wasn’t and BP3 was sensationalized trash.
The documentary is cool and might be worthy of attention. But damn this… give us an album that worthy of attention and is solid.
Otherwise…we’ve seen this ish before.
LMAO… First of all HAM go hard as hell… so the Album also gonna go HAM… they spent a whole 8 months workin on it. you know its gonna be good. Anyway Kanye helpin produce the album. Second… you cant compare NAS to lil’ wayne at all because lil’ wayne is way out of his league. He’s got more Tracks… Prolly x20 more than nas…. and how can you say lil wayne didnt come out with anything good after carter 2. im pretty sure drought 3 is prolly the hardest Mixtape there is out there. Im not riding Lil wayne.. just speakin the truth
dont u be talkin shit bout mah baby boo weezy. he go hard n i gotta pleasure myself to carter 3 evrynight bitch.
@LMAO
I hope he meant Weezy isn’t in NAS’s league. Cuz if he meant the opposite, he’s a clown. Only reason Weezy gets so many props is because there are less real people in the world and more clowns tools and high school dropouts than ever
Nas is a fucking joke with his 8th grade poetry and NOWHERE near close to Jay when it comes down to skill.
In every kingdom there would be a few disgruntled peasants!!! do not hate on the throne…watch it!!!
sorry i meant there will be! damn almost sounded like most fools here
sorry i meant there will be!! almost sounded like most fools here!

I love both Kanye and Jay-Z’s music. I really do. But I feel like what they’re putting out just isn’t their music anymore. It’s not real hip-hop anymore.

I WOULD KILL A MAN TO HAVE THIS ALBUM RIGHT NOW.
The real question is…Would you suck me off for the album right now? Cause I have the cd right here in front of me.
Decisions……..
lol
LMFAO
Probably two of the most overated artists rapping at the moment. Don’t get me wrong they’re alright, but they rap about the same shit ‘got my swag, chicks, cars, fame’. That’s why i got bored of these two. The difference between artists like Eminem and Jay Z is that he doesn’t care about no one, says what he really wants to say, nothing about girls money and cars and still sells. Oh and the fact that Em is a lyrical God.
Man, you literally make those Eminems melt in your mouth. Use that energy you waste hating and get a job. My niggaz stay winning while you stay broke…
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
Eminem is one of the most monotonous rappers when it comes to subject matter… apart from his drug consumption and his estranged wife and little about his daughter and dr dre, you would be hard pressed to say what else Eminem talks about…
Pick any Jay or Kanye album, then go song for song and you will see how diverse their subject matter is…. but i bet you only listen to the singles….
eminem’s the most fucking overrated rapper out right now.. no one realizes how bad he is now and how much he fell off
Yeah, it ain’t like he just released an EP with on of the best rappers out there and still came through after all these years.
@the_truth
you’re stupid, it’s not Eminem’s fault that all this shit happened in his life, yeah he will talk about. And that made him the best ever.
HATE ME NOW
R.E.D album is going to kill these niggas
I just paid $23,98 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $37,59 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $677 which only cost me $72,13 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentStart.com
I WANNA KISS JAYZ ON HIS JUICY BIG ASS JIGGA LIPPS.
R.E.D 23rd AUGUST… OLD ASS JIGGA. UNCLE OTIS… HAHA
Jay = GOAT. Most skills and greatest concerts. Tell me what you want, dumb fucks. Impact on the scence IS a factor.
The official leak is finally here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR4EccmB8ZM
Cool song.
i would suck them off…..mmmmmm penis:)
I heard the album, and its pretty good. “Who Gon Stop Me Now” and “Nigg@s in Paris” go H.A.M. The only thing I didn’t like was how Ye bit 3 Stacks on Welcome to the Jungle:
I asked her where she want to be when she 25/
I looked her in the eye and she said alive/
Its alright to borrow a fellow rap vets line every now and then, but I really feel as though these new cats will think that Ye came up with that. Just my thoughts.
yo… where can i cop it?
I will say this though, these guys have gone to great lengths (anti-piracy that is!!) to make sure the album isn’t leaked. I mean I’ve had my Hack team (which is pretty good I might add) on this for two weeks and they just got a physical copy this morning (the day before!!).
And Lastly, can you people please stop bringing Nas up in comments that pertain to Jay-Z. Nas hasn’t been relevant since Stillmatic (u know, “that ten year avg”). I mean he was barely rhyming on his last couple of albums.
Exactly, Nas has been way too whack for years now to be even brought into comparison with Jay.
Nigga please! the reason why Jay always get over is because of his beats.
U prolly wit their anti-piracy team, I aint telling you.
m the real mandy let me knw huz dik wants to get sucked
HEY ALL,
ONE MORE DAY TO YOU EXPERIENCE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. WATCH THE THRONE, DONT STEP ON OUR ROBES BITCHES!. BOW TO THE KINGS OF THIS SHIT.
the reason people keep bringing up nas as he pertains to jay-z is because their beef was one of the greatest hip-hop has seen. as far as being “relevant” – that word doesn’t pertain to a conversation on who is better. no one is gonna say kanye is a more skilled rapper than, say, kool g rap, for example.
@poohcaneasy – i agree that we should talk about jay in his own right, even though nas has been so important to his career (no nas no “takeover”). at the same time, i’ve always thought “that ten year average” line was weak – what would you say about dr. dre? and “barely rhyming”? you might have a hack team and listen to all kinds of “hot” music, but apparently your knowledge of rhyme structure/pattern and mcing is limited – Jay is the one, in my opinion, whose sword has dulled as of late.
I am copping this album…Period! Every now and then, there’s those couple of albums that you just need an original copy period. Like straight up, the last albums I copped were RJD2’s Colosses, Saigon’s The greatest story…and off course Yeezy’s MBDTF. Hmmm..I’m definitely thinking of copping Legendary Weapons too though…
I am highly anticipating this album…This trailer was wack though.
this fuckin album is anotha Banga for these dudes..i feel sorry for u constant losers
I just copped the leak on piratebay.org. THIS ALBUM IS WACK POP ALBUM.
@cash, I think its funny that you think that one line was weak because it’s actually TRUTH!!! Whats even funnier is that the one verse he did on Nas (which is all factual I might add) still holds true to this day. You can’t even tell me the last Nas hit (go ahead, I’m waiting). And oh yeah, please don’t mention that crappy @ss album he made in the carribean with Bob Marley’s son.
And furthermore, don’t bring Producers that don’t write their rhymes into this conversation. If your knowledge wasn’t so “limited”, you would know that everyone including these two mentioned has ghost written for Dre (do your homework and check the credits).
In parting, Hip Hop isn’t dead!!! Nas is!!! Lol!!!!

Remember when 50 was trying to go head to head with Yeezy a few years back??? why hasn’t that been brought up? I know why. Bc real prevails. And y’all hating cats can say whatever you want to…If you can’t keep a dude’s name out your mouth, then they got one up on you. Jay and Kanye got this shit on lock, and aint nothing you brotke muthafucking hating non rappers and non producers got on them. So what if u can decipher the Otis beat. So what if you can freestyle on the beat. The truth of the matter is, they gave you a reason to live, a reason to do something with your lives. Hip Hip prevails, and aint’ nothing y’all haterz can do about it. Let’s embrace this, the RED album, The Carter IV, and everything else. Fuck R&B, Rock and Roll, Alternative and all that shit that lives forever. Let’s make Hip Hop live forever you fucking hating ass turds.
