Rapper/entrepreneur Jay-Z is beginning to reveal more details in regards to his collaborative album with rapper Kanye West entitled Watch The Throne. Jay-Z spoke on the album in a recent interview with DJ turned radio/TV personality Tim Westwood.
“Yeah, before I came in to London we was in Bath. We was at the studio, Peter Gabriel’s studio,” said Jay-Z when asked if Watch The Throne will happen. “And we recorded some songs there so it’s exciting. It’s coming out.”
Jay-Z remained somewhat tightlipped about the project, but did reveal that the two artists have recorded “a lot” of tracks and that the album is “close” to being finished.
“It was a great, great, great vibe. Great things. We had fireworks coming out. We had a whole fireworks show. It was great…And then it’s this big room so everyone can sit in the room and add to the process. You had the producers in the room sitting all lined up. We were recording in the room, not the booth. We were recording in the control room so everyone got to see us while we were recording. Vocals and everyone had to be quiet,” said Jay-Z in regards to working on the album with Kanye in Bath, England.
News of Kanye and Jay-Z creating a collaborative album was spread back in August of this year. Originally the album was expected to feature only five tracks, but Jay-Z has confirmed that there will in fact be 10 tracks on Watch The Throne.
i really hope theres footage of this recording process
dat album gonna sell 40 million copies lol
this is going to be some mainstream bullshit
can’t Kanye just exclusively produce an album for Jay? Kanye is like Chris Tucker, you only handle a certain amount.
co-sign 100% what this dude just said
Huh?? Kanye is exec. producer on bp3.
^^^ He said EXCLUSIVELY..as in Kanye does all the beats. Pay attention.
horrible collaboration… the two don’t compliment each other well at all! Two completely different styles
That’s actually true. I like both artists though. I think that the only collaboration that worked well between these two was the Diamonds remix.
Kanye has produced a bunch of stuff such as Jay’s 5 Mic album The Blueprint and the two others. He also produced Lucifer which was on The Black Album which was one sick ass beat.
as long as Nas was invited to the session or Talib or Mos, it be something I too might cop.
man this album mite be like that blue magic shit….strait soulful…specially if it sounds anything like that JOY track i just heard frm yeezy and Jz wit that Curtis sample spankin ass!!! I make beats too Ye and yall hitme up @youtube riqrude beats…lets me n u make a classic!!!
Jay Zs a cornball n Bath is prolly the least Hip Hop place on the fuckin planet you could make an album on some Bel Airs closer to bein Hip Hop than it…
Face it Jiggas been carried by production for a decade if it wasn’t for Kanye n Just Blaze his career wouldn’t of made it outta the 90s period
YOU, sir, are an IDIOT! If doesn’t matter where the studio is….as long as it has the equipment that you need. No one is drawing off inspiration from the city. If that was the case, they’d be IN AMERICA. And yeah Jay has always had dope beats. But you know what? HE picked the beats. Look at Nas. Nas has always been DOPE but he picks wack beats. The result? He fighting for his life, financially, and Jay is running multiple businesses. At the end of the day, J knows how to make great songs. STOP HATING!
YO…NIGGAZ KILL ME ME WHEN THEY BE SAYIN HOV WACK ND OTHER BULLSHIT…REAL IS REAL ..HOV A BEAST …SO STOP HATIN YOU BUBBLE GUM RAPPIN AZZ NIGGAZ…
Jay-Z is turning the industry around. He is the living vision of Mr. Martin Luther King. This ain’t even rap anymore. Listen to his first CD: Reasonable Doubt and everything will fall in place guys.
