I listened to the whole song thinking this shit is about to get real tight…But it never really went anywhere. Not gonna post any stars but Ill give it a 3.35 and Im a certified Jay-z/Kanye hater.
wtf? you’d think they would try to make something legendary not wack. this is honestly one of the wackest rap beats i’ve ever heard. Too slow and weird.
I’m a fan of both of them, but this is wack. I’m trying to like it. Otis is cool. Not really feelin HAM. I’m coppin the joint but my expectations are sinking by the day.
WHO GONE STOP ME IS THE ILLEST PRODUCTION I’VE HEARD IN THE LAST 10 YEARS HANDS DOWN THAT SHIT IS SICK!! (HOW THAT SHIT SWITCH UP IS SOOO ILL) NO DICK RIDING
This song had to be more about Beyonce’s singing skills than Jay and Kanye’s rapping skills. That’s coming from a huge fan of both artists. Hopefully that’s the weakest song on the album.
For all the hype, this is dissapointing track number one. Sounds like they are trying to catch a melody along the tune of “Party” off of B’s current album. This is more B than Jay and ‘Ye. Hopefully, this will grow on me.
shit i didn’t know the album was out,
I should pay attention. & also i should work
on getting those tickets it would be amazing to see jay again & ye for the first time
I’m gonna give this the benefit of the doubt truthfully. This might be one example of having to hear this song in the sequence of the album.
I would think that since it’s “Lift Off” that this would be the intro song but it’s not. That song with Frank Ocean apparently is. How does that song set off the album? Don’t know cause I’ve yet to hear the album.
So I can’t truly rate this cut. I can say I wasn’t impressed with it standing alone though. Might make more sense when hearing the LP in its entirety.
After listening to the whole thing my favorite songs are (okay I have a lot, its a good album) lift off, niggas in paris, murder to excellence, who gon stop me, thats my bitch, why i love you, no church, and the joy. I’d give the album like 8/10, maybe 8.5/10
Yeah right now I agree. But maybe wait a couple days people will be having fucking fights over which was better. I might change my mind when I wake up, who know. But right now I like WTT better.
LOL what yall like this beyonce song cause Jay an Kanye don’t rap enough for it to be they song. It’s aite nuttin special wish it was more rapping tho.
Nigga ain’t nobody checking for your lame ass music….. Your shit going double wood…Now let me advertise for jay and ye…..Go get the watch the throne album shit is hot!!!!!
I don’t know about this album…this is nothing special, Beyonce preformed the best…give me Jay and Ye on “Never Let Me Down”!!! Free Crack Shit at iambadnewz.com
Man…I’m reading some of these commments, especially the ones saying that this album is “hot” and that “it’s a classic”.
Y’all music taste sucks or y’all just taste dicks so much just cause these are two “popular” “in crowd” niggas.
Seriously. This is just what I thought this album would be. A total piece of over commericalized trash. It’s like these niggas actually said to themselves “Let’s just spit some of the most redundant, laziest, halfway nonsensical, and totally deprived of anything damn near for the majority of this record under the guise of it being well thought out, carefully crafted…cause niggas will buy this shit anyway just because”…. I swear this record is average at the very best. This ish is horrible damn near.
And yes, I know you fanatics will say something like “hater” or whatever phrase that you can to vouch for something when you know damn well you can’t give a thorough explanation of what makes this actually a “classic” or besides saying it’s “hot”. That’s a crime against you fanatics…not I.
My thing is this: expect more. This isn’t more…this is less. A couple of good songs doesn’t make an album good. This ish is…
I agree. I been listening to rap music sing 1988 and have had my hands on some classic albums. This is not one of them. This is commercialized garbage. I DJ for a living and I won’t be playing any of this crap anytime soon. Tech N9ne’s album is better than this. Bad Meets Evil is also better.
I don’t think many of you are listening to this album. listen to it! This album is concept album about reshaping black ideology towards economic prosperity. No long do we have to except the old way. The system ain’t against us, our minds are! That old ra ra shit is gone, we gotta grind and grab that money that’s out there.
Listen to the lyrics people, its a lot of economic revolutionary rhetoric in it. You gotta understand. From front to back these boys discussing the contradictory mentality we have about society. Listen to No Church in the Wild, Niggas in Paris, Murder to Excellence, MAde in America, Welcome to the Jungle.
This album is discussing how our negative mentality developed on the block effectively equips us to prosper in the American culture of greed. I’m from the block, got my degree on my way to a top law school in America. I understand what they saying, once we get past the pitfalls of the hood we can go far!
@bisquic
I agree with you 100 on the last comment. Been listening to Jay since 96′ always used the hood for reflection, but now he taking it farther. It ain’t “I’m from the block and this what I went through”…now its ” I’m from the block look where I am, and you can get here too”…there is a difference bro.
Respect your opinion but I think to many use his discussion of material things as an excuse to not give credit where its due. Why shouldn’t he talk about money if he really has it? Not like all these “hood” rappers who talking about things they lease, get repossessed, and could never afford.
I just view it as progress bro, he’s is the only reason many of our favorite artists are still making music now…back in the day guys was really out by thirty 32-33, now they think they can go to at least 40. He’s the reason for that. Nas still dropping bars mainly because Jay made that possible(and even signed him).
@Detriot2.0, with ur over analysis u struck me like a stan but i decided to give u d benefit of d doubt then u decided to show ur true clours by saying Jay is responsible for Nas still rapping, wat an idiotic n ludicrous statement. U r on of d lil stans dat prolly think Jay owns Defjam as well as the Nets cos u so hoodwinked to a hilt. If u dnt knw, ama brk it down in simple terms,Nas was not hustling to get a label after Cloumbia/Sony records, he even had a President/record deal offer from Craig kallman C.E.O of Atlantic records but decided to go def like Foxy for his own reasons. Jay was just another employee at Defjam albeit d president hence thrs a reason why hes at Sony now n defjam remains. U need to get dat dick outta ur mouth b4 u choke, u got “law skl” waiting for u. U prolly think WTT is a classic too.
It sucks that a producer like Kanye took a step back by collaborating with Jay-Z, the Beyonce hook on this song is wack….. Frank Ocean outshines The Throne on their own fucking album, and I fucking hate OF. 1 star
Someone please answer me……am i crazy or ignorant to believe the following:
1. Like the guy said below, Frank Ocean stood out more than the stars of the album.
2. Kanye really needs to stick to producing. When he raps it takes away from the production quality.
3. The songs that stood out in production were the RZA and Pharrell co-produced songs.
4. This shit will never ever be a classic.
5. Where the fuck did Jay-Z get his new style of rapping, oh wait, he sounds kinda like a mix of Jay Electronica and J. Cole.
6. I couldn’t make it past the third song, I just skipped it til the next Frank Ocean track.
7. This was worse than 808s and Heartbreaks. Ok. That was a joke.
8. It was better than Kingdom Come at least.
9. I’d rather listen to DMX barking for 46 minutes.
10. All this fucking time, you idiots waited for a fucking album with 4 good songs. Sucka niggas.
Seriously ppl are you all just fans that support jay &Knaye and think everything they put out can’t be weak this shit is no fucking classic they are talking Abt black cars being rich and money who gives a flying fuck Abt that where is the creative inspirational music no substance at all Kanye said he’s gonna teach his son to be A republican so that hell like white ppl the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life Kanye need to produce that’s it why is J trying to rap like J elect and Cole ??? This is the biggest let down to any jay z fan this is a.pop cd this is not hip hop ppl saying classic must’ve been born in 92 you fucking ppl don’t know what good music sounds like Frank ocean stood out more than anything you would think it’ll be dope but then.that brings me back to Jay he can’t do collaboration projects they not good none of them that rock shit best of both worlds now this omg your killing your legacy watch the throne = Miami Heat
Standing out meaning he’s the only thing that sounded NEW everything else we all heard before none of this shit they talking Abt YOU CAN’T RELATE TO they didn’t make this album for hip hop this wqs a fucking business move now wonder they didn’t want it to leak they were afraid of it floppin Yall lyrics 35% good concept40%good just trash bad meets evil had better lyrics and was just real hip hop this weak shit is just for rich folks this is they classic
Yo I wish u bumb ass niggas stop fuckin hatin yo!!!!! Thats bitch shyt. The album is a masterpiece fuka! From front to back. This song is like a interlude getting yall ready for the rest of the mateial u fuckn faggots. Smfh. The world is fucked up yo. Hating for what? Jay is the best. That nigga 42 and still running this rap shit. Ye is genius Hollaback!!!
Watch the throne is pretty dope i need three more days to hear it out before i can say its a classic….. singing sweat baby jesus in my frank ocean voice….
I have the whole album and is fucking dumb nigga your not allowed to use the word masterpiece anymore STFU if you cant respect opinions get yo Bitch ass off line santora seriously the lyrics sucks this album is sooooooo trash I fuck wit 3 tracks that’s it and jay don’t care Abt hip hop just his pockets and you fools are counting his money that you don’t have
If stating your opinion makes you an internet thug wow that’s funny sorry sensitivity is common when jay makes bad cds I bet if he said jump off a fucking building you would do eat a Dick or blow your fucking brains out nigga who cares if your upset cause its a few ppl.or a lot who don’t like this trash ass album
WHY DISS AUTO TUNE IF U PLAN 2 USE IT ON 2 SONGS ON THE ALBUM!!!! WHERE I’M 4M WE CALL THAT HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!
AND WAS “WHY I LOVE U” TRACK MEANT 4 THE OLD ROCAFELLA SOLDIERS ?????
AS FAR AS SHIT GOES, U LAID THEM NIGGAS OF THE ROC!!!!!!
I think people miss the point of Watch the Throne. Folks seem to think that Ye and Jay have something to prove, that they don’t have a catalog larger and greater than new artists like Kendrick Lamar. This album is about proving they’re the kings, that they can fly across the globe recording an album with producers rappers dream of collaborating with and producing a work that not only shows their hunger and arrogance, but their introspection and relevance. I agree that this is nowhere near the great works of each individual artist, but like I said that isn’t the point; it’s about putting out something so insanely large that it’s not just an album, but an event. It’s about proving their the kings and hate it or love it, the fact that the internets going nuts only proves that point.
I dont care what the point was, album was a letdown
Only thing to praise about this album is the fact that they avoided the Leak and it actually came out on the day it was released…… For that, Jigga gets a pat on the back from me, but the actual music on the CD is lame, its like Kanye’s Dark Fantasy album with added Jay Verses, another boring album that hipsters are gonna overrate the hell out of and a year from nw not even remember it
MBDTF boring? I mean everyone has their own tastes but the album is about more than music, it transcends the genre. Lyrics aside the production is a work in itself. The problem here is that you still think Kanye is a rapper, when even he knows that the only person he’s competing against is The Beatles. So before you start saying he’s gay, that the album sucks, or any of that, name a single artist that you enjoy that produces all of his own music and spends as much energy and time making something for you to criticze. Like I said before, the problem is you still think Kanye is a rapper.
ok wen i heard the beginning of this song it sounded epic, music is nice, beyonce did her thing, but c’mon, what are kanye and jay-z saying? nothing..cmon..these dudes are insulting us man, what they are saying is that they can hiccup and fart on a track and the masses will buy, which they always do..people need to wake up..
Why you neggaz hating…This why we will never achieve anything hip hop is now a culture of hating..we hate on our legends..you people cannot see royalty in front of you!! i cant wait for the world to end!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KILL THE WORD “HATER”. Why? because IT’S annoying. Believe it or not even if someone has hits or skills it’s possible for them to make an album, or a song that may be wack. This song is not very good. But guess what it’s only my opinion. You may like it. THE WORD HATER IS USED TO IGNORE, OR TURN A DEAF EAR TO SOMEONE ELSE’S OPINION. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOES NOT THINK THE ALBUM IS UP TO PAR DOES NOT MEAN THEIR NOT A FAN. IM A FAN OF BOTH BUT IF THEY SLIPPIN IM GONNA SAY IT. PLUS THAT OTIS SH-T WAS EXTRA WACK. CLUMSY ASS BEAT CLUTTERING UP THE BULLSH-T LYRICS. SOMETIMES FANS WILL DICK RIDE ANYTHING. I MEAN, FOR EXAMPLE, IF IM A NIKE SNEAKER FAN THAT DOESN’T IM GONNA LIKE EVERY THING THEY PUT OUT. BAD MEETS EVIL WAS WAY BETTER AND I DON’T BY EM’S ALBUMS. I DON’T JUDGE ON HYPE, OR BIGGER THAN LIFE PROMOTION CAMPAIGNS OF HUMAN BEINGS THAT TAKE A SH-T LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. I ALSO DON’T ADD HOW MUCH MONEY, OR HOW MUCH THEIR ON THE RADIO ALL DAY INTO THE EQUATION. I JUDGE ON THE MUSIC. THE ALBUM IS NOT IMPRESSIVE TO ME. TAKE OFF THEIR CELEBRITY AND LOOK AT IT FOR WHAT IT IS STAN’S, IM MEAN FANS.
I’m on the fence with this song! Production is fire, Beyonce is fire…was waiting for Jay and Ye to rip this shit! And I just kept waiting…song is more of a long ass snippet!
church in the wild 3/5

one track below average imho,but so far will fück with every album past 2 years.
i heard when watch the throne comes out everywhere on the 12 that amazon was gonna make the album $0.99 because they were mad that itunes and best buy got the album first, is that true????
damn this album can only be appreciated in 5.1 or dts surround sound 2 speakers or headphones wont work i dont think this is for the young crowd good damn album you have to listen to this album fropm start to finish one song at a time dont get it just like with kanye last album
The production on the album is amazing, yet the lack of concept songs really hurts the album. Every song consists of lavish, bragadocious lyrics. I think I’ve heard 4 songs already where Jay is talking about black cars or black cards. In all honesty, when compared to Eminem and Royce’s album, this is barely better, and the only reason is due to the production, but the lyrics are horrible.
no concept WTF you better listen again album is full of emotion/regrets/obsssesion with material items to hide true pain the song why i love you is talking about the old roc roster
OK, this is fukin trash, are they actually gonna rap or just let Beyonce fukin sing the whole damn track? Honestly, how many bars did Ye and Jay drop on this song? 10 each? this aint rap, this is some bullshit pop track. Seriously, not one ounce of hiphop talent was in this track, bunch of fukin filler with gay vocals, this is the kind of shit you hear on American Idol. If i want to hear Beyonce sing i’ll buy a fuckin Beyonce CD. Give me some fuckin lyrics and bars. Faggot pop rap.
soulful and spiritual songs how can you talk that stupid illumanti shit album is very emotional i see why otis is on the album its a track to just have fun with and take a break from the rest of the album if you cant feel THATS MY BITCH/WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE/MADE IN AMERICA this album is not for you
Top 5 songs on WTT
1)No Church in the wild (lyrics are crazy)
2)Welcome to the Jungle (the guitar rifs are sick and Jay-z caught the flow buzz)
3)Who Gon stop me (The bassline is ridiculous and how the beat switches us is amazing)
4)Why I love you. (More grown man flow by Jay)
Honorable Mention
Niggas in Paris
Murder to Excellence
Made in America
As far a lyrical ability and wordplay this album is no where near the best, but as far as production I have to give it up for that. It’s the best album if we want to talk about production. Bad Meet Evil is better when you put the two elements of music together, but both great albums.
I bought the album and the album is amazing! However this is a collab album so on this song Jay doesn’t really come out to spit a line, he spits 3 bars and gets cut off….if jay was a little more included im pretty sure this would’ve been a better song. AND the repetition of the chorus is waaaayyyyy tooooo much.
Watch the throne is pretty good but not great…..as all cds today seem to be. Ye’s production is slipping and we all know Jay-Z isn’t half of what he used to be. IMO the best production on the album was done by the outside producers like RZA and S1
am i the only who notices that this song is preparing for the album!! this album is fire wow!! ofcoz they gon talk about their money and wealth coz that is life.. production is crazy! if you think this is wack then i do not know what good is..my opinion!
Kanye West is on another planet…he ready to take this music thing and take it to another level…you know this album was basically produced and directed by him Jay let him have the reigns and Kanye blew it out the water and told jay to jump on with a verse each song
yeah this shit is like chronic and believe that do is trully genius. i know a lot wonderful minds but none of them are famous enough that people can enough their works. lucky these guys are and we can all feed off it.
thanks jay and ye i finally found something that ihave to put in ipod player from 2011. thank you this its motivates to step my game up in the way i dress. and what i’am capable of. i’am 90 nigas in grad school so this dumb down era doesn’t get me going.. you both are genius on the business end too you even found a way to avoid leak …. haha smart niggas thanks . one luv
Everyone don’t let this song make you get too discouraged there are some really dope songs on the album…I dont consider the album a classic though. It is a good album overall.
you know how on Moment of clarity Jay Z admitted he dumbed down his music to make more money?, I think hes been doing that for so long he forgets how to be lyrical for real.
play an outkast album compared too an Biggie album and you can tell its almost crap. Things always look worse in comparison too better things lol so whats the point?, Just take the album as is there will be some songs you like and some you dont. I feel like Jay and Kanye are so rich and famous they don’t have reason to make really great music, they just experiment with everything. That’s the paradox of hiphop artist……
dont get me wrong i love outkast speaker boxx my fav album both disc but you cant compare legends like outkast to this album they been a group for a longtime maybe if this was jay and kanye 5th album together yeah ok but for the first album this is damn good
its not a question of purely comparing them, I can appreciate this album but i have to hear it with their prior work in ind, what’s obtainable from other cats around now and what other cats have done in the past. if you are old enough to have followed these cats career’s you ant help it. the album sounds delibrate, uninspired and forced sometimes like you can hear what they were going for but u dont hear them get there. just my opinion, i dont see why i should be attacked for it. if you think the album is fire then bump it, its ur opinion based on who u r and what u like, i think its meh
Bad meets evil should not even be concidered next to this…. Thats dumb it down raps to basic beats this shit is advanced beyond what you cant see…If you produce any type of music you would see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A masterpiece?, really though?, you know that’s the highest word of praise you can give too a piece or body of art?, you just put this album on the same level as the mona lisa… then you contradicted yourself by giving the album an 8.5 out of 10, if it was a masterpiece it would be 11 out of 10. And bad meets evil doesn’t have “dumbed down raps”, you clearly don’t know what your talking smh….
Niggas is totally lame not feelin this… what do you listen to? If Meek ya favorite rapper its not for you so it’s like commenting on a Hannah Montana track
I love the negative comments…lol..same people who don’t support the artists they claim are dope. If you want music that’s to your preference start supporting those artists then. Buy their work and they’ll get the same type of platform.
Honestly, the album was alright. Overhyped though. I like a few songs and especially Gotta Love It, Primetime, No Church. Many songs had too much production going on which was disappointing. Welcome to the Jungle was a good song except the fact that the beat sounded unfinished but at times sounded amazing. Overall id give the album 3/5
Kanye West albums are only good with a shitload of guest rappers. He really should just produce. And Jigga man, I know u a legend & all, but just… just retire man. Again.
And the track, it’s terrible. (I hate Beyonce, over-produced beats, r’n’b, auto-tune & sloppy rapping, so I hate this song)
like i have to say this the production quality on this shit is amazing hip hop mixed with orchestra music. sure jay and ye dont rap on it much but maybe that was the point. and im sure they produced this shit together. DAMN THIS BEAT IS FUCKING AWESOME. I love this shit , good shit kanye and jay btw beyonce has a beautiful fucking voice.
i lost a few friends to gun violence not gang related but i can really feel kanye verse on murder to excellence then to follow that up with made in america wow
Kanye is a genius. But I’m really disappointed about this project. Expected much more from these two. Jay sounds like everybody else could, nothing left of his once amazing flows and lyrical abilites. Kanye lacks complete creativity and you gotta ask yourself what happened to the guy who produced all these classics. This sounds unsinspired, generic and is executed in a bad way. The rapping on BME instead was too fucking amazing to be ignored. The lyrical firestorms on there were out of this world. Some of the best flows I’ve ever heard. Cadence, breath control, wordplay, this project was one of the best of all time from a technical standpoint. Jay and Kanye had to bring it on the creativity, but there’s nothing to be excited over when talking about this project.
i feel like kanye… lacked because of Jays presence on this album. I mean dont get me wrong the production is off the backboard BUT…. BUT BUT BUT…
Kanye didnt bring his best. I wana hear a solo Kanye album… WITHOUT JAY!!!!
“Earth is boring to me, she just making my dick soft” dope line and so was the Earnhardt line but this was the worst delivery Hov ever had on a track he came on the track wit a bullshit delivery and this is coming from a nigga who been fucking wit him since he was that skinny nigga on the boat, I didnt like this record at all. Cant wait to hear the album tho
Kanye West is talented and a great producer and blah blah blah but he’s just an unlikeable guy. I just can’t sit through a whole album of this nigga. All that wack ass singing and shit…come on man…why do people think that shit is dope? Hova, go solo homie, Kanye ain’t fit to be your co-pilot.
Seriously, Beyonce has more lyrics on this song the Jay and Ye. What the fuck is this hip pop shit? Spit some fucking bars i dont want to hear some broad singing over some trash beat. This song aint fuckin hip hop.
dudes can’t help that the reputation precedes them
they both have extremely high expectations that will never be met unless you listen to it the way you once did .
Forget about the names and what you have heard and listen to it. with no expectaions. if it’s not for u and u can’t jam it then don’t but I don’t want to hear your negative crap. It’s not the music’s problem it’s your problem with the music.
Plenty of people will be able to get in they ride and roll the windows down and rock it all the way up, some won’t. I will and i’ll be burning the best while I leave the record store parking lot.
Read your link. This is exactly why the album will sell and actually may be the informal soundtrack for Obama’s 2012 run.
People that are not necessarily hiphop heads will like the album. At the end of the day – the point is to convert the unconverted – and the album will do that.
Very wise words sir…Idk about the 2012 run, but its definitely aimed at converting listeners. I just wish more traditional hip-hop fans actually understood what the goal of this album is.
It’s a cool track indeed. It fits what it needs to do…I am tried of Beyonce though; thus, ranking it lower on that…good melody and hook. It is on some movie status…like the opening credits, so props on them if they chose the song based on that merit
WTF ??????? IVE JUST LISTENED TO Watch the throne, and entirely, and its just shit.
I mean its a good cd, they got good songs but thats just that. People talked too much… FUCK ALL THOSE RAPPERS WHO SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE CRAZY. Suck my dick you fools !!
Finally heard the whole album…not a classic hiphop album. To early to tell, anyway. But its a good album. I thought it would be wack – but its really good.
Not the best lyrics, but it comes together with the beats making up for it. Not Jay’s best lyrics.
On most tracks it feels like Kanye out rhymes Jay. Jay may not have subject matter to talk about anymore. It’s felt like that with him for 5 years now.
Sounds like beats that could of been a part of Kanye’s last album. But they’re good, overall. Nobody does what Kanye does, today.
I really tried listening to this, but I just can’t. Jay is such a cocky asshole the only shit I’ve ever heard him on where he sounds legitimately humble is Reasonable doubt and that shit is pretty good…but Blueprint, Black Album, and anything else people say is classic?…sorry no.
Am yet to listen to the album, so i wont rush into conclusion. Still my top 5 so far,
1. Saigon- Greatest story never told
2. BME- Hell: The Sequel
3. Tech n9ne- All 6’s and 7’s
4. kendrick Lamar- Selection 8.0
5. Tyler The Creator- Goblin
I hope WTT makes my Top 5, the comments am seeing(not only on dx) are mostly mixed reviews.
My friend you need to check out W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) from Pharoahe Monch that dropped earlier this year, that is a top 5 release of the year. September 27th gonna be big too, Big Krit, J Cole, and Yelawolf all dropping debuts
That song by Apathy was not that good. It sounds like 99.9% of all the underground rap songs that will go nowhere. I’m not saying this song by Jay and Ye is the dopest, but there is still some unique genius within it that makes it at least interesting.
I don’t think this meets the criteria to be considered as a rap song. That being said, I don’t listen to this type of music so I have no idea how to grade it. Personally I would never bump it. Whatever. Check out the AP and Premo track.
as one of the earlier post stated…i suggest some of you invest in beats by dre headphones or utilize your surround sound system…the way this track and others on the album are put together is absolutely ridiculous
I HATE BEYONCE’S VOICE VERY ANNOYING, kAYNE IS STINKY, FUNKY, BOO BOO…A SHIT TURD IN A DIAPER, JAY IS MEDIOCRE NEEDS TO LET THE TRUEHEADS RUN THINGS. THE BEAT IS OKAY
to all those people saying you need surround sound or beats by dre headphones, go and eat a dick. Thats just a lame ass excuse because this song/album is wack as fuck. BME shitted all over this and still is shitting all over this, and will remain shitting all over this!
if you have to listen to it on surround sound to make it sound good then it shouldn’t be listened to, music is supposed to be made so it translates well to ALL formats…. btw verses are garbage… n thats comin from a white kid
thas not the piont the post was about how well the album was engineered not the contents of the album it sounds good on surround sound some albums sound dull in surround sound that dosent mean the album sucks listen to 36 chambers in surround sound you wont like it to much but it still is a classic album
Gotta love this site with the million of haters that have nothing else to do but hate if you not feeling it don’t listen to it plan n simple keep it moving. Do you really gotta post some wack hate comment just cus?
This is America asshole. Furthermore, this is Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is about expressing yourself. This mentality that any opinion that’s not favorable is ‘hating’ is fuckin’ stupid and destructive to both music and our society. You’re just a punk ass yes man.
Haters love to hate the success of the successful. When you are truly successful yourself you can then give respect where respect is due. This song is on a whole nother level!!! Good Music!!!
Actually, it grew on me a little, so worst track is “made in america” … I ain’t feeling Frank Ocean (overrated).
Best track I say is “I got watcha need.” Love that track. Huge Kanye and Jay fan so i’m lovin’ the album. They gonna kill it down here in Miami Nov. 14! Can’t wait!
beyonce hook ruins it, im not on that pop shit, TRUEST SHIT EVER said, i’d rather hear the beat than beyonce’s hook, this is on some all of the lights type of shit like c’mon.
Word! Death of Autotune was an idea Kanye & NO ID came up with. Jay pretty much rolling with whatever Kanye does these days to stay relevant. This album plays out more like a Kanye album featuring Jay.
I don’t think many people get what they are trying to do. This is not meant to be a purist rap album. They are attempting to do something avant-garde. I would call this experimental hip hop. This is the type album you have to be patient wit and take time. I think Ye and Jay should have taken more time wit each track and tweaked it to perfection. These tracks could be great but most are only good. Take this track for instance. Beyonce is not a good choice for da hook. You need a soulful voice, maybe a male voice and since the lyrics are meant to be sparse, they needed to be bold and strong. Each bar needed to hit hard. Also the last 30 seconds of the song had a feel that the whole song should have had. Those are just my two cents of constructive criticism.
why did hiphopdx put up a inturlude thats all this is if you listen to the entire album the song was made for the tour lol thats all.this is to get the crowd hype beyonce come out for 3mins boom crowd in a frenzy then back to the real shit .BIG shout out to jay and kanye for murder to excellence and mentioning D.J HENRY R.I.P if you dont know who he is look him up very sad way to go just shows you how far this country has think it has gone with race relations REAL rap is back.
stan i was just looking at the facts of it they didnt want the album to leak so this is really not a song if you listen to the entire album. and what artist do your mother like is she a stan or dick rider go read a book
i hate this album to many metaphors and double meanings the block dont get shot up no traditional rap beats at all jay not sellin crack,i dont like songs with meaning and about real life i want crack stories so what jay 40 get back to that block shit stop name droppin shit i cant afford wtf is M.O.M.A
this is a intro?really?long ass intro haha.yeah right.listen to any intro off of Section80..thats where the bar stands.album of the year.anything less is dookie.i would feel gay as hell bumping this disco shit in my car
If you listen to the album it has something for everyone. The album accomplishes what it is suppose to, REACH MASSES. It gives something to all fans; songs for clubs, songs for people to “bumpâ€, songs with connotation and double entendres, songs addressing current events.
Not too mention the underlying meaning that they want to see other blacks succeed. They want their people to understand you need to drop your current mindset and maybe lose a few friends that won’t be willing to pursue success in order to be a successful black man.
“I tried to teach n***as how to be kings all they ever want to be is soldiersâ€
If you rated this shenanigans over a 1 then you’re rating the popularity of the artist and not the actual music because this was bleach to the mouth, fork to a plate, knife to a tire, heat oxygen & fuel together to form an combustion bad:I mean this was historically bad:
Still cleaning the blood from my ears:Jay-B is the worst:
wtf? ok, im a huge fan of jay and kayne… but seriously this song sucks. There is literally no lyrical content in this song at all. Kayne had close to a whole verse where he says “know me, know me by now” over and fucking over again. That’s just lazy. “How many niggas wit’ me up in the neon? How many people wanna roll a Neon?” Really? He couldn’t find one more word that rhymed with Neon? I mean, for an album that’s supposed to be the album of the year they could’ve tried just a little harder. Shit just doesn’t sell for me.
weak. soft. gay ish. come on jay. you always do something mind blowing then follow up with a couple gay ass high school pool party joints for the surburban girls. this is not doin it for me at all.
Lol at the people defending this song. It’s not an interlude. It’s not a intro. It’s just a bad song. Artists make less than dope or average songs. Get over it, you Stans.
if u buy bootleg or copy from ya manz bootleg this aint for u the target audience is people who have and spend money to be entertained by feel good music,let me help u relate its like in the streets what u gonna sell work they gonna pay for to get money or work nobody really buying ,which means u getting slow money if any money @ all
THIS SONG IS LYRICALLY WHACK ASS HELL BUT BEYONCE HAD A BAD HOOK BUT SHE MADE THE BAD SOUND GOOD. THE BEAT WAS ON POINT THOUGH SOUNDS LIKE SOME GRADUATION STUFF.
…with an unorthodox, non 4/4 beat like this…you need to either use a delivery that sharply cuts right through it or a flow that dances around in the pocket, yet landing on the snare…not to mention…injecting provocative lyrics to at least mesh better with the epic feel of the track…the only reason why BEYONCE OWNS THIS TRACK was…she was the only one on the song REALLY TRYING!!!
@ lol, that was by far the most useless comment I have seen on any post. your response shows that you have zero knowledge on the subject the original poster was talking about.
I dont think Kayne blows, but he mumbled on this track. the end of all of his lines tailed off into a mumble instead of the usual punch he gives. I’ve never been a fan of “B” but she did show how you really sing on this track. And the track is forgettable. 5 min after listening to it, nothing stands out other then the spaceship count down at the end. Was Jay even on this track?!?! (the previous sentence was factious and sarcastic) I find both Jay and Ye can come up with great concepts but this one fell short for me. I’m not going to rate because I dont want to be classified as a “Hater” haha.
fuck all you motherfuckin dumbasses. all yall fuckin do is hate on everything, including your mom. yall would hate on someone even if they gave you a million dollars for no reason. fucking stupid ass kid. grow the fuck up or come to house & get fucked up. I tired of all this people complaining about this & that. don’t like it??? ignore it.
interesting, why are you worried about what others think? why are you so defensive about that others think, their opinions and views? I agree that if people dont like something that they not bash it. but even your are guilty of this so called “Hate” and being a “motherfuckin dumbass…” for the things you dont like bet yet have an opinion of. So instead of getting hostile, try articulating why you think this track is good. As a matter of fact, that last point goes for all. Whether you like the song or not, articulate why and start an intellectual debate. This mindless banter about “you hate money, you hate real hip hop” is just stupid.
No offense this track wasn’t that great. I seriously think this album was really overrated. The album was really overrated, i’m pretty sure many hiphop artist would agree with me. But beyonce did make this track more listenable.
naw he’s right…album is overrated its just because its ye and jay…eventhough im a big fan of both of them I dont like the fact that they can release sub-par music and get away with it…..people just ain’t real these days inside and out of the industry..album=barely 3/5 stars
And how can you hate WTT? We finally have something to listen to besides someone talking about just cars, clothes, hoes, and weed or is that all people wanna hear these days? Well i’m tired of all dat goofy shit, and WTT is the relief to dat shit. Jay and Yeezy on to some new,better shit!
who ever says this song is weak or not that good or w.e is def. retarted,
@tush-hes right its Art AND CREATIVITY and thats what more songs should have but don’t
these days all u get is lex lugar beats and weak rappers being called great,i do love gangsta music but this song shud be 8 stars hands down
FUCK NO!…. Tha Carter IV Is Not Better Than Watch The Throne… I’ll Listen To WTT Twice In A Row Before I Listen To Tha Carter IV… It Aint Whack, But It Aint WTT
Love this song it’s unique because these days all we got is rapper singing and raping about cars,money,guns,or fucking a “hoe” but this song didn’t do that it has its own u i when style I guess some people these days just wanna hear that wack shit instead of this wonderful song
classic
first
Hoes. Hot.
looking forward to the frank ocean featured songs.
this is pretty weak though.
YEAAAAAAAAAAaaa
what a fuckin dissappointment
Shittiest song I’ve heard in a while. I was expecting much much more from these two…
All that “talent” and this is the best they could come up with?!!
You can find the full album at thisisbuckwild.com now!
trash
Jams!
I remember hearing the beats to this one on the short film…I personally like it a lot.
come on man (wtf) was that? that was weak im shock i know they can do better than that
you cant have expectations that are impossible to live up to otherwise you’ll be dissapointed in everything chill the fuck out
Exactly…all these dudes calling it trash musta been expecting better than MBDTF
MBDTF = My Big Dick Tranny Fucking
Very smart anon.
I listened to the whole song thinking this shit is about to get real tight…But it never really went anywhere. Not gonna post any stars but Ill give it a 3.35 and Im a certified Jay-z/Kanye hater.
its on pluspremiers
forgot to rate 5*
You should do a bicep curl before putting on that tanktop…Just a thought.
hahahahahaha imma get on that p90x soon lol
not feeling it.
nice!
wtf? you’d think they would try to make something legendary not wack. this is honestly one of the wackest rap beats i’ve ever heard. Too slow and weird.
This is really good
I’m a fan of both of them, but this is wack. I’m trying to like it. Otis is cool. Not really feelin HAM. I’m coppin the joint but my expectations are sinking by the day.
Wasn’t feeling it.
They album already leaked on
http://hip-hoproom.com/kanye-west-jay-z-watch-the-throne-itunes/
I didn’t leak – it was released at midnight.
WHO GONE STOP ME IS THE ILLEST PRODUCTION I’VE HEARD IN THE LAST 10 YEARS HANDS DOWN THAT SHIT IS SICK!! (HOW THAT SHIT SWITCH UP IS SOOO ILL) NO DICK RIDING
wow, kanye sucked haha, awful song
wtf r u guys listening to, this song is sick.
wack
Meh, whatever, I guess it could have been worse
Fire
first, good track, murder to excellence is the best, or thats my bitch
forgot to rate
This song had to be more about Beyonce’s singing skills than Jay and Kanye’s rapping skills. That’s coming from a huge fan of both artists. Hopefully that’s the weakest song on the album.
How can 3 musical legends make a song this wack
of all the songs on the album they post the worst one
my thoughts exactly
give a fuck what the faggy ass hiphopdx haters are saying, this is going to be an amazing album.
Nice intro track love it….. Let’s go!!!! 5/5
don’t let this song discourage you this is a great album. this is the worst song on the album
For all the hype, this is dissapointing track number one. Sounds like they are trying to catch a melody along the tune of “Party” off of B’s current album. This is more B than Jay and ‘Ye. Hopefully, this will grow on me.
it’s track number two track one is no church in the wild with frank ocean
shit i didn’t know the album was out,
I should pay attention. & also i should work
on getting those tickets it would be amazing to see jay again & ye for the first time
I’m gonna give this the benefit of the doubt truthfully. This might be one example of having to hear this song in the sequence of the album.
I would think that since it’s “Lift Off” that this would be the intro song but it’s not. That song with Frank Ocean apparently is. How does that song set off the album? Don’t know cause I’ve yet to hear the album.
So I can’t truly rate this cut. I can say I wasn’t impressed with it standing alone though. Might make more sense when hearing the LP in its entirety.
the song with frank ocean is very good
WOW
Fantastic
SWAGG, I am amazed
5/5 for the whole album!
People are tripping, this joint goes HAM
Why such a low rating??? This is HIP HOP. Inspiration shit right here.
Turnt up to ignorant levels.
This shit go hard..some ppl jus dnt kno good music
tunneeeeeee
totally amazing
i fuck wit it
Gr8 combination
did i miss something? what part of this song deserves 5 stars…or 4 for that matter. sounds like a beyonce song to me
After listening to the whole thing my favorite songs are (okay I have a lot, its a good album) lift off, niggas in paris, murder to excellence, who gon stop me, thats my bitch, why i love you, no church, and the joy. I’d give the album like 8/10, maybe 8.5/10
I just listened to the album, and its no doubt a fuckn’ classic!
Watch the throne>Bad meets evil.
WTT best album for 2011
Yeah right now I agree. But maybe wait a couple days people will be having fucking fights over which was better. I might change my mind when I wake up, who know. But right now I like WTT better.
WTT is great but Cole World: The Sideline Story will top it.
LOL what yall like this beyonce song cause Jay an Kanye don’t rap enough for it to be they song. It’s aite nuttin special wish it was more rapping tho.
CHECK OUT THE MUSIC
http://soundcloud.com/inevitable-success/sets/taste-of-success
Nigga ain’t nobody checking for your lame ass music….. Your shit going double wood…Now let me advertise for jay and ye…..Go get the watch the throne album shit is hot!!!!!
Ye and Jay did they thing the CD is HOTTTTT!!
^^^but DX should have posted “Gotta Have It” instead.
when is the album out on hard copy?
3/5. Niggas in Paris is the hardest song on the album.
just listened to the cd, shit go hard aint gon lie
I don’t know about this album…this is nothing special, Beyonce preformed the best…give me Jay and Ye on “Never Let Me Down”!!! Free Crack Shit at iambadnewz.com
Relly like this song got that old Kanye Late Registration and Graduation feel.
worst song on the album
(shaking my head)
(sigh of despair)
Man…I’m reading some of these commments, especially the ones saying that this album is “hot” and that “it’s a classic”.
Y’all music taste sucks or y’all just taste dicks so much just cause these are two “popular” “in crowd” niggas.
Seriously. This is just what I thought this album would be. A total piece of over commericalized trash. It’s like these niggas actually said to themselves “Let’s just spit some of the most redundant, laziest, halfway nonsensical, and totally deprived of anything damn near for the majority of this record under the guise of it being well thought out, carefully crafted…cause niggas will buy this shit anyway just because”…. I swear this record is average at the very best. This ish is horrible damn near.
And yes, I know you fanatics will say something like “hater” or whatever phrase that you can to vouch for something when you know damn well you can’t give a thorough explanation of what makes this actually a “classic” or besides saying it’s “hot”. That’s a crime against you fanatics…not I.
My thing is this: expect more. This isn’t more…this is less. A couple of good songs doesn’t make an album good. This ish is…
…Kingdom Come 2.
Just as I thought it was.
Damn shame.
I agree. I been listening to rap music sing 1988 and have had my hands on some classic albums. This is not one of them. This is commercialized garbage. I DJ for a living and I won’t be playing any of this crap anytime soon. Tech N9ne’s album is better than this. Bad Meets Evil is also better.
Worst song on the album and DX put it up? Why would you do that!
It is and the sad thing is this is high quality! Compared to the garbage that these artists be putting out.
I am so happy to be alive right now! Watch the Throne
This album is HOT…what a CLASSIC
soooooooo. . . . . . . . sick
I don’t think many of you are listening to this album. listen to it! This album is concept album about reshaping black ideology towards economic prosperity. No long do we have to except the old way. The system ain’t against us, our minds are! That old ra ra shit is gone, we gotta grind and grab that money that’s out there.
Listen to the lyrics people, its a lot of economic revolutionary rhetoric in it. You gotta understand. From front to back these boys discussing the contradictory mentality we have about society. Listen to No Church in the Wild, Niggas in Paris, Murder to Excellence, MAde in America, Welcome to the Jungle.
This album is discussing how our negative mentality developed on the block effectively equips us to prosper in the American culture of greed. I’m from the block, got my degree on my way to a top law school in America. I understand what they saying, once we get past the pitfalls of the hood we can go far!
So they bit Lil B’s “Im Gay” album huh? You’re just mad cause Lil B fucked your bitch.
SWAG!
Bro you analyze these songs wayyyy too deeply.
Overanalyze*
Not over analyzing many just ain’t listening. Lazy ears and minds. That’s why it so hard to help people out, they don’t listen.
They’re reflecting the image of the hood back on itself with shiny sounding synths and pop beats the same thing Jay has been doing for years.
@bisquic
I agree with you 100 on the last comment. Been listening to Jay since 96′ always used the hood for reflection, but now he taking it farther. It ain’t “I’m from the block and this what I went through”…now its ” I’m from the block look where I am, and you can get here too”…there is a difference bro.
Respect your opinion but I think to many use his discussion of material things as an excuse to not give credit where its due. Why shouldn’t he talk about money if he really has it? Not like all these “hood” rappers who talking about things they lease, get repossessed, and could never afford.
I just view it as progress bro, he’s is the only reason many of our favorite artists are still making music now…back in the day guys was really out by thirty 32-33, now they think they can go to at least 40. He’s the reason for that. Nas still dropping bars mainly because Jay made that possible(and even signed him).
@Detriot2.0, with ur over analysis u struck me like a stan but i decided to give u d benefit of d doubt then u decided to show ur true clours by saying Jay is responsible for Nas still rapping, wat an idiotic n ludicrous statement. U r on of d lil stans dat prolly think Jay owns Defjam as well as the Nets cos u so hoodwinked to a hilt. If u dnt knw, ama brk it down in simple terms,Nas was not hustling to get a label after Cloumbia/Sony records, he even had a President/record deal offer from Craig kallman C.E.O of Atlantic records but decided to go def like Foxy for his own reasons. Jay was just another employee at Defjam albeit d president hence thrs a reason why hes at Sony now n defjam remains. U need to get dat dick outta ur mouth b4 u choke, u got “law skl” waiting for u. U prolly think WTT is a classic too.
Unlike u, i try to substantiate my comments, check out d link n enlighten urself b4 u come across as a dick in d mouth stan boy. http://www.mtv.com/bands/n/nas/news_feature_101905/
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT
With the lineup was expecting more. Decent song tho! This is an average song if it we’re on Games new mixtape! #justsaying
a classic? are u joking?? did u just listen to them verses??? fucking rank
It sucks that a producer like Kanye took a step back by collaborating with Jay-Z, the Beyonce hook on this song is wack….. Frank Ocean outshines The Throne on their own fucking album, and I fucking hate OF. 1 star
nice…love it…
Someone please answer me……am i crazy or ignorant to believe the following:
1. Like the guy said below, Frank Ocean stood out more than the stars of the album.
2. Kanye really needs to stick to producing. When he raps it takes away from the production quality.
3. The songs that stood out in production were the RZA and Pharrell co-produced songs.
4. This shit will never ever be a classic.
5. Where the fuck did Jay-Z get his new style of rapping, oh wait, he sounds kinda like a mix of Jay Electronica and J. Cole.
6. I couldn’t make it past the third song, I just skipped it til the next Frank Ocean track.
7. This was worse than 808s and Heartbreaks. Ok. That was a joke.
8. It was better than Kingdom Come at least.
9. I’d rather listen to DMX barking for 46 minutes.
10. All this fucking time, you idiots waited for a fucking album with 4 good songs. Sucka niggas.
man u dont know what the fuck your talking about
nigga stop trollin
This album can’t be a classic. They fucking used autotune.
the album is dope
Seriously ppl are you all just fans that support jay &Knaye and think everything they put out can’t be weak this shit is no fucking classic they are talking Abt black cars being rich and money who gives a flying fuck Abt that where is the creative inspirational music no substance at all Kanye said he’s gonna teach his son to be A republican so that hell like white ppl the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life Kanye need to produce that’s it why is J trying to rap like J elect and Cole ??? This is the biggest let down to any jay z fan this is a.pop cd this is not hip hop ppl saying classic must’ve been born in 92 you fucking ppl don’t know what good music sounds like Frank ocean stood out more than anything you would think it’ll be dope but then.that brings me back to Jay he can’t do collaboration projects they not good none of them that rock shit best of both worlds now this omg your killing your legacy watch the throne = Miami Heat
Standing out meaning he’s the only thing that sounded NEW everything else we all heard before none of this shit they talking Abt YOU CAN’T RELATE TO they didn’t make this album for hip hop this wqs a fucking business move now wonder they didn’t want it to leak they were afraid of it floppin Yall lyrics 35% good concept40%good just trash bad meets evil had better lyrics and was just real hip hop this weak shit is just for rich folks this is they classic
Yo I wish u bumb ass niggas stop fuckin hatin yo!!!!! Thats bitch shyt. The album is a masterpiece fuka! From front to back. This song is like a interlude getting yall ready for the rest of the mateial u fuckn faggots. Smfh. The world is fucked up yo. Hating for what? Jay is the best. That nigga 42 and still running this rap shit. Ye is genius Hollaback!!!
Watch the throne is pretty dope i need three more days to hear it out before i can say its a classic….. singing sweat baby jesus in my frank ocean voice….
I have the whole album and is fucking dumb nigga your not allowed to use the word masterpiece anymore STFU if you cant respect opinions get yo Bitch ass off line santora seriously the lyrics sucks this album is sooooooo trash I fuck wit 3 tracks that’s it and jay don’t care Abt hip hop just his pockets and you fools are counting his money that you don’t have
Yo Cool ya jets fuckin internet thug!!!! Shyts real music my G! Dont log on to diss the shit nigga! GTFoh
COOL SONG !
If stating your opinion makes you an internet thug wow that’s funny sorry sensitivity is common when jay makes bad cds I bet if he said jump off a fucking building you would do eat a Dick or blow your fucking brains out nigga who cares if your upset cause its a few ppl.or a lot who don’t like this trash ass album
great song kanye jay bey killed it
WHY DISS AUTO TUNE IF U PLAN 2 USE IT ON 2 SONGS ON THE ALBUM!!!! WHERE I’M 4M WE CALL THAT HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!
AND WAS “WHY I LOVE U” TRACK MEANT 4 THE OLD ROCAFELLA SOLDIERS ?????
AS FAR AS SHIT GOES, U LAID THEM NIGGAS OF THE ROC!!!!!!
I think people miss the point of Watch the Throne. Folks seem to think that Ye and Jay have something to prove, that they don’t have a catalog larger and greater than new artists like Kendrick Lamar. This album is about proving they’re the kings, that they can fly across the globe recording an album with producers rappers dream of collaborating with and producing a work that not only shows their hunger and arrogance, but their introspection and relevance. I agree that this is nowhere near the great works of each individual artist, but like I said that isn’t the point; it’s about putting out something so insanely large that it’s not just an album, but an event. It’s about proving their the kings and hate it or love it, the fact that the internets going nuts only proves that point.
….and that’s REAL RAP! Enough said..
I dont care what the point was, album was a letdown
Only thing to praise about this album is the fact that they avoided the Leak and it actually came out on the day it was released…… For that, Jigga gets a pat on the back from me, but the actual music on the CD is lame, its like Kanye’s Dark Fantasy album with added Jay Verses, another boring album that hipsters are gonna overrate the hell out of and a year from nw not even remember it
MBDTF boring? I mean everyone has their own tastes but the album is about more than music, it transcends the genre. Lyrics aside the production is a work in itself. The problem here is that you still think Kanye is a rapper, when even he knows that the only person he’s competing against is The Beatles. So before you start saying he’s gay, that the album sucks, or any of that, name a single artist that you enjoy that produces all of his own music and spends as much energy and time making something for you to criticze. Like I said before, the problem is you still think Kanye is a rapper.
jay’s good kanye is WACK
Wackness
ok wen i heard the beginning of this song it sounded epic, music is nice, beyonce did her thing, but c’mon, what are kanye and jay-z saying? nothing..cmon..these dudes are insulting us man, what they are saying is that they can hiccup and fart on a track and the masses will buy, which they always do..people need to wake up..
Why you neggaz hating…This why we will never achieve anything hip hop is now a culture of hating..we hate on our legends..you people cannot see royalty in front of you!! i cant wait for the world to end!
This comment couldn’t be more wrong
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KILL THE WORD “HATER”. Why? because IT’S annoying. Believe it or not even if someone has hits or skills it’s possible for them to make an album, or a song that may be wack. This song is not very good. But guess what it’s only my opinion. You may like it. THE WORD HATER IS USED TO IGNORE, OR TURN A DEAF EAR TO SOMEONE ELSE’S OPINION. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOES NOT THINK THE ALBUM IS UP TO PAR DOES NOT MEAN THEIR NOT A FAN. IM A FAN OF BOTH BUT IF THEY SLIPPIN IM GONNA SAY IT. PLUS THAT OTIS SH-T WAS EXTRA WACK. CLUMSY ASS BEAT CLUTTERING UP THE BULLSH-T LYRICS. SOMETIMES FANS WILL DICK RIDE ANYTHING. I MEAN, FOR EXAMPLE, IF IM A NIKE SNEAKER FAN THAT DOESN’T IM GONNA LIKE EVERY THING THEY PUT OUT. BAD MEETS EVIL WAS WAY BETTER AND I DON’T BY EM’S ALBUMS. I DON’T JUDGE ON HYPE, OR BIGGER THAN LIFE PROMOTION CAMPAIGNS OF HUMAN BEINGS THAT TAKE A SH-T LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. I ALSO DON’T ADD HOW MUCH MONEY, OR HOW MUCH THEIR ON THE RADIO ALL DAY INTO THE EQUATION. I JUDGE ON THE MUSIC. THE ALBUM IS NOT IMPRESSIVE TO ME. TAKE OFF THEIR CELEBRITY AND LOOK AT IT FOR WHAT IT IS STAN’S, IM MEAN FANS.
Enjoying the album, but this song is awful.
Why put it on? Poor
Like the rest of the album though
You’re contradicting yourself there.
He’s not contradicting himself he said he likes the rest of the album. Not that it’s poor like the rest of the album.
production is on another level. reps- avarege.
Not lyrical at all ..but okay song now does that make sense? A simple straight forward message that has been done before. I give it 2 stars for me
song is fire….haters can eat a dick…. this is not some nonsense Gucci… get a life b*****
I’m on the fence with this song! Production is fire, Beyonce is fire…was waiting for Jay and Ye to rip this shit! And I just kept waiting…song is more of a long ass snippet!
4 stars

Worst song on Watch The Throne, which is actually impressive cuz this song aint all that bad
This sucks pretty bad….intro too fn long, and Kanye sound horrible on dis joint.
beyonce and the production are the HIGHLIGHT of this JAY AND KANYE track??…not a good sign…

the album shoulda sounded more like otis and no church in the wild
The production on the album is amazing, yet the lack of concept songs really hurts the album. Every song consists of lavish, bragadocious lyrics. I think I’ve heard 4 songs already where Jay is talking about black cars or black cards. In all honesty, when compared to Eminem and Royce’s album, this is barely better, and the only reason is due to the production, but the lyrics are horrible.
no concept WTF you better listen again album is full of emotion/regrets/obsssesion with material items to hide true pain the song why i love you is talking about the old roc roster
no idea why there was autotune in the middle of no church in the wild, pointless,
FUCK AUTOTUNE
Str8 Up Whack…. Can’t Stand It! Fuck U Illuminati Bitches… I’ll Rather Listen Soulja Boy
yeah fuck them. Killuminati all day.
album is dope.people just had crazy expectations for it
Beyonce on a hook, how original. I would titty fuck the shit outta her tho.
This is garbage…
This cool, not crazy but cool
not feelin this
OK, this is fukin trash, are they actually gonna rap or just let Beyonce fukin sing the whole damn track? Honestly, how many bars did Ye and Jay drop on this song? 10 each? this aint rap, this is some bullshit pop track. Seriously, not one ounce of hiphop talent was in this track, bunch of fukin filler with gay vocals, this is the kind of shit you hear on American Idol. If i want to hear Beyonce sing i’ll buy a fuckin Beyonce CD. Give me some fuckin lyrics and bars. Faggot pop rap.
its called chanting its a style of music
Its called “chanting” is it? Sorry, i thought Jayz and Kanye were rappers, my mistake.
soulful and spiritual songs how can you talk that stupid illumanti shit album is very emotional i see why otis is on the album its a track to just have fun with and take a break from the rest of the album if you cant feel THATS MY BITCH/WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE/MADE IN AMERICA this album is not for you
dont forget murder to excellence
still listening to aquemini
C’mon…WTF???? This shit is GARBAGE. Beyonce is washed up, Jay I hate to say it…Too old for this shit. And Kanye…You go from soul beats for this shit?
stfu hater!
you never get too old making music. Look at Kool G Rap. Still going H.A.M.
whole album is sickkkkk!!!!!!
seriously?
not hot.
wow lmaooooo

2)Welcome to the Jungle (the guitar rifs are sick and Jay-z caught the flow buzz)
3)Who Gon stop me (The bassline is ridiculous and how the beat switches us is amazing)
4)Why I love you. (More grown man flow by Jay)
Honorable Mention
Niggas in Paris
Murder to Excellence
Made in America
Whats with Kanye’s accent? LOL. Not feeling this beat, til it changes at the end of the song, then gets really dope…I like Beyonce on the hook tho.
this album is to pro black for some listener’s
Are You Serious??
Public Enemy is too black for some listeners maybe, this album is just too boring for some listeners
As far a lyrical ability and wordplay this album is no where near the best, but as far as production I have to give it up for that. It’s the best album if we want to talk about production. Bad Meet Evil is better when you put the two elements of music together, but both great albums.
GO TO HAWAII COME BACK SOUNDING LIKE A FAG
COME BACK FROM AUSTRALIA SOUND LIKE BONO WITH A DURAG
basically this is gay as hell, listen to him no wonder amber stripper rose left.
WHY WOULD JAYZ STEP ON HIS WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY WHYYYY?!?!?!?! MARCEY PROJECTS MANNN!!!
this shit is garbage
Overinflated egos and elusions of grandeur ahooooy!
This song reminds me of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
Make money!
Watch The Throne is hot but i hate this song!
Oh they are going to take the African american community to Wilcock? lol
Are you one of those hipsters or something?
song is great, album is a classic. Ye did it again!!!
Song is dope! Haters gone hate thats just life
Watch the Yawn
skippin’ right past this on the album
I bought the album and the album is amazing! However this is a collab album so on this song Jay doesn’t really come out to spit a line, he spits 3 bars and gets cut off….if jay was a little more included im pretty sure this would’ve been a better song. AND the repetition of the chorus is waaaayyyyy tooooo much.
Watch the throne is pretty good but not great…..as all cds today seem to be. Ye’s production is slipping and we all know Jay-Z isn’t half of what he used to be. IMO the best production on the album was done by the outside producers like RZA and S1
am i the only who notices that this song is preparing for the album!! this album is fire wow!! ofcoz they gon talk about their money and wealth coz that is life.. production is crazy! if you think this is wack then i do not know what good is..my opinion!
Ya im giving it a 5 star..fools! who are oblivious to good music!
this song sucks.And you know what it almost brings a tear to a niggas eye to say but maybe its time for Jay to hang it up.
lol
“im richer and pryor to this shit i was moving freebase”
Man, you have to listen to why I love you, its probably one of if not the best song on the album. This is what a collab song should be like
open letter to the old roc roster excellent track
pop rap what else can i say. kanye sounds again gay and jay z is totally lost in 2011
CUT YOUR EARS OFF YOU DONT DESERVE THEM
This song isn’t very good too me…
TOP 5 Song
1, primetime
2, Made in America
3, who gon stop me
4, Gotta have it
5, thats my bitch
Great album 4/5
i love you so/illest motherfuckers alive/no church for the wild/welcome to the jungle
Kanye West is on another planet…he ready to take this music thing and take it to another level…you know this album was basically produced and directed by him Jay let him have the reigns and Kanye blew it out the water and told jay to jump on with a verse each song
yeah this shit is like chronic and believe that do is trully genius. i know a lot wonderful minds but none of them are famous enough that people can enough their works. lucky these guys are and we can all feed off it.
Is this supposed to be serious?
thanks jay and ye i finally found something that ihave to put in ipod player from 2011. thank you this its motivates to step my game up in the way i dress. and what i’am capable of. i’am 90 nigas in grad school so this dumb down era doesn’t get me going.. you both are genius on the business end too you even found a way to avoid leak …. haha smart niggas thanks . one luv
” i tried to teach niggas how to be kings all they wanted to be was soilders” OUCH
This isn’t as bad as the comments make it seem. But Beyonce > Jay & Kanye on this.
jay z and kanye west part sucked, just cause…wait why didnt they rap alot.
Everyone don’t let this song make you get too discouraged there are some really dope songs on the album…I dont consider the album a classic though. It is a good album overall.
why i love you=WOW
After reviwing this album, S&P downgraded Jay-Z’s lyrical ability from AAA to B-.
DAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNN. It’s SAD AF.
Got a Nigga “out here Brett Farving” – Andre 3000
you know how on Moment of clarity Jay Z admitted he dumbed down his music to make more money?, I think hes been doing that for so long he forgets how to be lyrical for real.
an average album…if you want perspective on this judgment call, play an outkast album and your intelligence will tell you this is almost crap. 3/5
outkast lol
what about outkast mr. anonymous?
play an outkast album compared too an Biggie album and you can tell its almost crap. Things always look worse in comparison too better things lol so whats the point?, Just take the album as is there will be some songs you like and some you dont. I feel like Jay and Kanye are so rich and famous they don’t have reason to make really great music, they just experiment with everything. That’s the paradox of hiphop artist……
dont get me wrong i love outkast speaker boxx my fav album both disc but you cant compare legends like outkast to this album they been a group for a longtime maybe if this was jay and kanye 5th album together yeah ok but for the first album this is damn good
its not a question of purely comparing them, I can appreciate this album but i have to hear it with their prior work in ind, what’s obtainable from other cats around now and what other cats have done in the past. if you are old enough to have followed these cats career’s you ant help it. the album sounds delibrate, uninspired and forced sometimes like you can hear what they were going for but u dont hear them get there. just my opinion, i dont see why i should be attacked for it. if you think the album is fire then bump it, its ur opinion based on who u r and what u like, i think its meh
aww man the way they flipped that cassius sample wow
Bunch of immature haters…………
This album is a master piece!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad meets evil should not even be concidered next to this…. Thats dumb it down raps to basic beats this shit is advanced beyond what you cant see…If you produce any type of music you would see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8.5 out 10
A masterpiece?, really though?, you know that’s the highest word of praise you can give too a piece or body of art?, you just put this album on the same level as the mona lisa… then you contradicted yourself by giving the album an 8.5 out of 10, if it was a masterpiece it would be 11 out of 10. And bad meets evil doesn’t have “dumbed down raps”, you clearly don’t know what your talking smh….
outkast and biggie you reachin totaly 2 diff lifestyles
im age 16 so far this album sounds fire, and its KANYE WEST & Jay z
rubbin the wood like keke sheppard wow
“i got that hot bitch at my home”!hova
reasonable arrogance.yap
weak 1star
YOU NIGGAS NEVER GREW UP, ALL YOU CAN RELATE TO IS THAT GRITTY SHIT FROM 10 YEARS AGO. IM SURPRISED YOU NIGGAS HAVE COMPUTERS LOL !!!
Turn your caps lock button off, it doesnt make what you say any more credible by typing it big
Co-Sign. The thing is, these people don’t support the ”real” rap they praise all over the internet.
HAHAHA
let down
Terrible…wouldnt catch me bumpin this shit in the whip…WTT is overrated hype
Niggas is totally lame not feelin this… what do you listen to? If Meek ya favorite rapper its not for you so it’s like commenting on a Hannah Montana track
my baby boo weezy n his sexy lips gon put this trash album to shame..
getin so hot jus thinkin bout it..
I love the negative comments…lol..same people who don’t support the artists they claim are dope. If you want music that’s to your preference start supporting those artists then. Buy their work and they’ll get the same type of platform.
the whole album doesn’t sound like this …
Dope! JAY is the GOAT! Kanye is the best producer. People who are responsible for the progression of the genre!
The entire album sounds like Kanye West Ft. Jay-Z. New Day is my shit though.
maybe kanye is suppose to be watching the throne
kanye wack rapper+autotune bullshit
BME = high level
Honestly, the album was alright. Overhyped though. I like a few songs and especially Gotta Love It, Primetime, No Church. Many songs had too much production going on which was disappointing. Welcome to the Jungle was a good song except the fact that the beat sounded unfinished but at times sounded amazing. Overall id give the album 3/5
Where did you hear the Album at?
i brought it cheap skate
downloaded that bitchhh
R.I.P JIMMY….. TRUE STORY…. G’S UP!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayxtwhMxY8I
this jawn sucks
fuckin bullshit
Kanye West albums are only good with a shitload of guest rappers. He really should just produce. And Jigga man, I know u a legend & all, but just… just retire man. Again.
And the track, it’s terrible. (I hate Beyonce, over-produced beats, r’n’b, auto-tune & sloppy rapping, so I hate this song)
like i have to say this the production quality on this shit is amazing hip hop mixed with orchestra music. sure jay and ye dont rap on it much but maybe that was the point. and im sure they produced this shit together. DAMN THIS BEAT IS FUCKING AWESOME. I love this shit , good shit kanye and jay btw beyonce has a beautiful fucking voice.
i lost a few friends to gun violence not gang related but i can really feel kanye verse on murder to excellence then to follow that up with made in america wow
Half a star..this wont Flop cause of the Marquee names… I wouldnnt downloaded it for free. no Hate .. Freedom of Text
Kanye is a genius. But I’m really disappointed about this project. Expected much more from these two. Jay sounds like everybody else could, nothing left of his once amazing flows and lyrical abilites. Kanye lacks complete creativity and you gotta ask yourself what happened to the guy who produced all these classics. This sounds unsinspired, generic and is executed in a bad way. The rapping on BME instead was too fucking amazing to be ignored. The lyrical firestorms on there were out of this world. Some of the best flows I’ve ever heard. Cadence, breath control, wordplay, this project was one of the best of all time from a technical standpoint. Jay and Kanye had to bring it on the creativity, but there’s nothing to be excited over when talking about this project.
BANANAS!!! Rap is evolving and some of yall might not understand nor appreciate it but when you get left behind you know what it is. @iamjpeezy
that track super wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! b killed it what happened waste of a hot track hope dis aint on da album
“i asked her what she wanted to be at 25 she turned around and sade alive”
thx
yo… thats andre 3000 lyric from art of storytellin
ahh real rap fans finally nice shoutout to dre also
i graduated to the M.O.M.A and i did all of this without a diploma. this album is not for young heads
THIS IS THE ONLY SONG ON THE ALBUM THAT SOUNDS LIKE A POP SONG, THE REST IS BOOM BAP OR SAMPLE.
i feel like kanye… lacked because of Jays presence on this album. I mean dont get me wrong the production is off the backboard BUT…. BUT BUT BUT…
Kanye didnt bring his best. I wana hear a solo Kanye album… WITHOUT JAY!!!!
Hov didnt make Kanye say that bullshit they both made a weak song it happens dnt blame another nigga for somebody else’s thoughts
http://soundcloud.com/acid-da-savage/saturday
i love you so=song of the month
“i got staples on my dick why? fuckin center folds”
wack as the album cover
“Earth is boring to me, she just making my dick soft” dope line and so was the Earnhardt line but this was the worst delivery Hov ever had on a track he came on the track wit a bullshit delivery and this is coming from a nigga who been fucking wit him since he was that skinny nigga on the boat, I didnt like this record at all. Cant wait to hear the album tho
i agree
nah its illest motherfucker alive
this is not a song its more like a inturlude so is otis if you listen to the album from start to finish you can appreciate this and otis
Exactly.
Kanye West is talented and a great producer and blah blah blah but he’s just an unlikeable guy. I just can’t sit through a whole album of this nigga. All that wack ass singing and shit…come on man…why do people think that shit is dope? Hova, go solo homie, Kanye ain’t fit to be your co-pilot.
Crap

Weakest shit I heard all year! Fuckin fall offs. This really what peopl been waiting for? Hahaha… fukin bait and switch!
Seriously, Beyonce has more lyrics on this song the Jay and Ye. What the fuck is this hip pop shit? Spit some fucking bars i dont want to hear some broad singing over some trash beat. This song aint fuckin hip hop.
INTURLUDE
you’re right, but the girls will play it though…and buy it.
It is hip pop. different standards than judging real hiphop.

dudes can’t help that the reputation precedes them
they both have extremely high expectations that will never be met unless you listen to it the way you once did .
Forget about the names and what you have heard and listen to it. with no expectaions. if it’s not for u and u can’t jam it then don’t but I don’t want to hear your negative crap. It’s not the music’s problem it’s your problem with the music.
Plenty of people will be able to get in they ride and roll the windows down and rock it all the way up, some won’t. I will and i’ll be burning the best while I leave the record store parking lot.
damn shame that hov n ye both fell off
illest motherfucker alive

Read your link. This is exactly why the album will sell and actually may be the informal soundtrack for Obama’s 2012 run.
People that are not necessarily hiphop heads will like the album. At the end of the day – the point is to convert the unconverted – and the album will do that.
Very wise words sir…Idk about the 2012 run, but its definitely aimed at converting listeners. I just wish more traditional hip-hop fans actually understood what the goal of this album is.
It’s a cool track indeed. It fits what it needs to do…I am tried of Beyonce though; thus, ranking it lower on that…good melody and hook. It is on some movie status…like the opening credits, so props on them if they chose the song based on that merit
WTF ??????? IVE JUST LISTENED TO Watch the throne, and entirely, and its just shit.
I mean its a good cd, they got good songs but thats just that. People talked too much… FUCK ALL THOSE RAPPERS WHO SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE CRAZY. Suck my dick you fools !!
Watch the throne : 3/5
this is horrible. if you want a good joint album get bad meets evil some real rap.
if you dont have surround sound you missing out this album sonically is on fire
Well we’re here for the lyrics, but theyre not here are they?
Finally heard the whole album…not a classic hiphop album. To early to tell, anyway. But its a good album. I thought it would be wack – but its really good.
Not the best lyrics, but it comes together with the beats making up for it. Not Jay’s best lyrics.
On most tracks it feels like Kanye out rhymes Jay. Jay may not have subject matter to talk about anymore. It’s felt like that with him for 5 years now.
Sounds like beats that could of been a part of Kanye’s last album. But they’re good, overall. Nobody does what Kanye does, today.
All this to say, Where the hell is Mos Def?!?
I really tried listening to this, but I just can’t. Jay is such a cocky asshole the only shit I’ve ever heard him on where he sounds legitimately humble is Reasonable doubt and that shit is pretty good…but Blueprint, Black Album, and anything else people say is classic?…sorry no.
Shit.
WHAT THRONE ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
LYRICALLY? NO
PRODUCTION? NO
COMMERCIAL SUCCESS? NO
IT IS A LONGEVITY THING????
THEY ARE NOT THE BEST OUT BY ANY MEANS…
cosign
Am yet to listen to the album, so i wont rush into conclusion. Still my top 5 so far,
1. Saigon- Greatest story never told
2. BME- Hell: The Sequel
3. Tech n9ne- All 6’s and 7’s
4. kendrick Lamar- Selection 8.0
5. Tyler The Creator- Goblin
I hope WTT makes my Top 5, the comments am seeing(not only on dx) are mostly mixed reviews.
My friend you need to check out W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) from Pharoahe Monch that dropped earlier this year, that is a top 5 release of the year. September 27th gonna be big too, Big Krit, J Cole, and Yelawolf all dropping debuts
Add Vakill’s ”Armor Of God” and ”R.E.K.S.” to this list.
why so much fucking hate? This song aint that great the rest is greaat though.
You all will think tha carter 4 will be great though.
compared to this bullshit, im looking forward to the carter 4
Why duz Kanye do that mumblin shit???
Beat sounds like a fucking phone alarm clock.
LIKE I SAID BEFORE……………….
After reviwing this album, S&P downgraded Jay-Z’s lyrical ability from AAA to B-.
DAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNN. It’s SAD AF.
Got a Nigga “out here Brett Farving” – Andre 3000
You got hip-hop, then you got hip-pop. JayZ and Kanye are what I like to call the “Top 40 version of HipHop.”
Here’s some real hiphop that just dropped today, these two cats will eat Jay and Ye any day. Hip pop faggots.
Now this on the otherhand is fire: http://www.2dopeboyz.com/2011/08/08/apathy-stop-what-ya-doin-f-celph-titled-prod-dj-premier/
That song is so fucking dope, makes this sound like shit.
That song by Apathy was not that good. It sounds like 99.9% of all the underground rap songs that will go nowhere. I’m not saying this song by Jay and Ye is the dopest, but there is still some unique genius within it that makes it at least interesting.
watch the throne is absolutely crazy! download the full album at thisisbuckwild.com
I don’t think this meets the criteria to be considered as a rap song. That being said, I don’t listen to this type of music so I have no idea how to grade it. Personally I would never bump it. Whatever. Check out the AP and Premo track.
THIS IS A INTURLUDE
as one of the earlier post stated…i suggest some of you invest in beats by dre headphones or utilize your surround sound system…the way this track and others on the album are put together is absolutely ridiculous
well for 90 % of listeners who dont have beats by dre headphones, this shit is gay as hell
beats by dre are horrible headphones so I wouldn’t recommend buying them. Especially for an album like this
Another reason to get the RED ALBUM from Game… this is soooooo below level
red album? candy paint and 40’s ill pass no thank you im tired of rollin down crenshaw so early 90’s
No this is a reason to buy Royce Da 5’9 album instead. Success is Certain
the beats are to epic to be held back by 2 speakers the engineering on this album alone is worth the buy
“FUCK JAY-Z”
-Nas
this bullshit doesnt deserve to be heard by human ears,you Kanye & Jay dick riders,and i got all his CD’s,but damn this shit aint hot
I HATE BEYONCE’S VOICE VERY ANNOYING, kAYNE IS STINKY, FUNKY, BOO BOO…A SHIT TURD IN A DIAPER, JAY IS MEDIOCRE NEEDS TO LET THE TRUEHEADS RUN THINGS. THE BEAT IS OKAY
U probably like some dude whispering with their hot ass breath in your ear then huh?
Im not sure what yall are listening to SONICALLY THIS SONG BANGS HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Kanye + Studio equipment = Heaven
Hahahahahahahaha….watch the throne???? hhaahhahahahahaha…this shit is GAY/WACK as hell. DISAPPOINTING.
EHHH!! not what exspected at all i guess it has to grow on you
to all those people saying you need surround sound or beats by dre headphones, go and eat a dick. Thats just a lame ass excuse because this song/album is wack as fuck. BME shitted all over this and still is shitting all over this, and will remain shitting all over this!
u dont listen to music in surround sound i guess
if you have to listen to it on surround sound to make it sound good then it shouldn’t be listened to, music is supposed to be made so it translates well to ALL formats…. btw verses are garbage… n thats comin from a white kid
thas not the piont the post was about how well the album was engineered not the contents of the album it sounds good on surround sound some albums sound dull in surround sound that dosent mean the album sucks listen to 36 chambers in surround sound you wont like it to much but it still is a classic album
some people cant read
LOL took the words right out of my mouth. This song and whole album is straight GARBAGE.
beats by dre are horrible headphones so I don’t know why you would need to listen through them.
U can’t be serious.
This is awful.
take it too the moon,this song is just plain boring,trying to make money outer of dumm folks
Gotta love this site with the million of haters that have nothing else to do but hate if you not feeling it don’t listen to it plan n simple keep it moving. Do you really gotta post some wack hate comment just cus?
It’s Jay and Kanye, so we have to listen to it, because it could be dope. But it’s not, and we’re just stating our opinions. So fuck off.
This is America asshole. Furthermore, this is Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is about expressing yourself. This mentality that any opinion that’s not favorable is ‘hating’ is fuckin’ stupid and destructive to both music and our society. You’re just a punk ass yes man.
one of the lamest songs ive ever heard
I give this song -5 stars…I wouldn’t torrent this cd that’s how bad it is.
ehh i like it but then i dont
its an intro u idiots
no its not dummy
My niggaz stay winning!
FIRE!!!!
This sh*t is so hot it is beyond some of yall basic cats. Bananas. copping the album today
Haters love to hate the success of the successful. When you are truly successful yourself you can then give respect where respect is due. This song is on a whole nother level!!! Good Music!!!
I can’t wait to cop this album!
FIRE!!
FIRE!!
why is my FB comment blocked? , it says ” Your comment was blocked. Please remove all links and self promotion to comment.”
Ehhh. It’s cool, I guess. Not completely, 100% feeling Beyonce’s hook. Album is still copped, regardless.
Honestly, the worst track on the album.
Actually, it grew on me a little, so worst track is “made in america” … I ain’t feeling Frank Ocean (overrated).
Best track I say is “I got watcha need.” Love that track. Huge Kanye and Jay fan so i’m lovin’ the album. They gonna kill it down here in Miami Nov. 14! Can’t wait!
beyonce hook ruins it, im not on that pop shit, TRUEST SHIT EVER said, i’d rather hear the beat than beyonce’s hook, this is on some all of the lights type of shit like c’mon.
So much hate on this site. Album is hot
this shit sucks bad i hope the next jay z album aint like this
4 stars
damm they should have used the end of the song for the main beat , that’s ill
This shit is better than BME. BME was too mainstream. WTT ALL DAY 5/5.
BME is too mainstream ?????? Get ur dick out of ur ear homo ! BME>>>>WTT All day
BME mainstream?..lol…It only had 1 commercial single. This shit is mainstream as hell!
Eeh…BasedGod can do way better.
The amazing!!!!
nah this shit doesnt do it for me!!
This album is amazing. From start to finish.

by the way, what happened to Death of Autotune and all that bandwagon nonsense from BP3? sure is some major autotuning on this album..lol
Word! Death of Autotune was an idea Kanye & NO ID came up with. Jay pretty much rolling with whatever Kanye does these days to stay relevant. This album plays out more like a Kanye album featuring Jay.
dope
ima HUGE jay-z fan but this shit is ack him and beyonce should only make slow songz without kanye, j-cole reminds me of THE OLD JAY-Z STRAIGHT CLASSIC
y are ppl trippin. This is obv an intro
i don’t think you people are capable of understanding this
Ehhh…
Well Beyonce did her thing.
I don’t think many people get what they are trying to do. This is not meant to be a purist rap album. They are attempting to do something avant-garde. I would call this experimental hip hop. This is the type album you have to be patient wit and take time. I think Ye and Jay should have taken more time wit each track and tweaked it to perfection. These tracks could be great but most are only good. Take this track for instance. Beyonce is not a good choice for da hook. You need a soulful voice, maybe a male voice and since the lyrics are meant to be sparse, they needed to be bold and strong. Each bar needed to hit hard. Also the last 30 seconds of the song had a feel that the whole song should have had. Those are just my two cents of constructive criticism.
why did hiphopdx put up a inturlude thats all this is if you listen to the entire album the song was made for the tour lol thats all.this is to get the crowd hype beyonce come out for 3mins boom crowd in a frenzy then back to the real shit .BIG shout out to jay and kanye for murder to excellence and mentioning D.J HENRY R.I.P if you dont know who he is look him up very sad way to go just shows you how far this country has think it has gone with race relations REAL rap is back.
lol whatever dude…these jay stans are way too funny. always have an explanation for everything…well its a wack interlude then…what else you got?
stan i was just looking at the facts of it they didnt want the album to leak so this is really not a song if you listen to the entire album. and what artist do your mother like is she a stan or dick rider go read a book
Least favorite track on the album. 3 stars.
truly a great album
i hate this album to many metaphors and double meanings the block dont get shot up no traditional rap beats at all jay not sellin crack,i dont like songs with meaning and about real life i want crack stories so what jay 40 get back to that block shit stop name droppin shit i cant afford wtf is M.O.M.A
this is a intro?really?long ass intro haha.yeah right.listen to any intro off of Section80..thats where the bar stands.album of the year.anything less is dookie.i would feel gay as hell bumping this disco shit in my car
this aint an intro you fuckwit, its track 2
If you listen to the album it has something for everyone. The album accomplishes what it is suppose to, REACH MASSES. It gives something to all fans; songs for clubs, songs for people to “bumpâ€, songs with connotation and double entendres, songs addressing current events.
Not too mention the underlying meaning that they want to see other blacks succeed. They want their people to understand you need to drop your current mindset and maybe lose a few friends that won’t be willing to pursue success in order to be a successful black man.
“I tried to teach n***as how to be kings all they ever want to be is soldiersâ€
if this album only gets a 4 fuck hiphopdx 4.5 no less
Why do I want to be integrated in a burning house…I would never co-sign the exploitative nature that leads to “success” in this dying empire!
I’m not even gonna pay attention to bs close minded comments on here. This song is awesome, album is flat out brilliant. 5/5
Damn Beyonce kills it on the hook.

This song just gets better everytime I hear it.
One of the best songs of the year, epic. When i make a movie this is going to be in that shit at the most epic moment, im callin grammy for this shit.
To all the cry babies saying this is an interlude, its a fucking song, track 2 of the album, so go eat a fat DICK butches
dmx had a song labeled intro on his album it was one of the best songs on the album just because it says track 2 that dont mean its not a inturlude
what im trying to say is this song is DEFINATELY not an interlude. Check the credits
no typo, you butch ass niggaz
*bitch
ahahahaha, Butch ass Nigga
If you rated this shenanigans over a 1 then you’re rating the popularity of the artist and not the actual music because this was bleach to the mouth, fork to a plate, knife to a tire, heat oxygen & fuel together to form an combustion bad:I mean this was historically bad:
Still cleaning the blood from my ears:Jay-B is the worst:
1/5
If this was a Beyonce song featuring Jay & Kanye it couldve been something really big
Horrible.
Love this. Got it stuck in my head.
love this damn beat!!!!!
one day children everywhere will ask each other, “what are your parents getting you for throne day?”
stoop
Hell yes, im gonna remember this shit the day i die.
Just stop
best song ever
hot garbage
i could write a better verse than ye, hot beat, hot hook, alright rap song cuz of jay
Shout outs to Naija and Africa on this beat!! Don Jazzy MoHits baby!!!
wtf? ok, im a huge fan of jay and kayne… but seriously this song sucks. There is literally no lyrical content in this song at all. Kayne had close to a whole verse where he says “know me, know me by now” over and fucking over again. That’s just lazy. “How many niggas wit’ me up in the neon? How many people wanna roll a Neon?” Really? He couldn’t find one more word that rhymed with Neon? I mean, for an album that’s supposed to be the album of the year they could’ve tried just a little harder. Shit just doesn’t sell for me.
WTF did Ye just say?! My bad Jay but I couldnt even make it to your part
the whole album is hard it’s worth the money.
weak. soft. gay ish. come on jay. you always do something mind blowing then follow up with a couple gay ass high school pool party joints for the surburban girls. this is not doin it for me at all.
the production is bananas, but Yeezy was defo half asleep when he worte his verse
he was dreaming that he was otis
not good for me, overrated…..
I think the rap verses are a bit soft.
Mother.Fucking.Gay
This is the equivalent of the BME /w Bruno Mars song, there always has to be a lame pop song in an album or else it wouldn’t sell
Lol at the people defending this song. It’s not an interlude. It’s not a intro. It’s just a bad song. Artists make less than dope or average songs. Get over it, you Stans.
estas jugando la vida hermano
Beyonce made this song slightly listenable.
how many people you know that would take it this far!!!!!!
if u buy bootleg or copy from ya manz bootleg this aint for u the target audience is people who have and spend money to be entertained by feel good music,let me help u relate its like in the streets what u gonna sell work they gonna pay for to get money or work nobody really buying ,which means u getting slow money if any money @ all
you cant have money if you spend it you fuckin house nigga
THE BEAT ALONE IS GOOD ENOUGH 4ME!
BEYONCE OWNS THIS SONG. BADDEST BITCH IN THE GAME.
YOU DONT LIKE THIS, BUT LIGHTERS WITH “BRUNO MARS” WAS DOPE EH…..GTFOH
LOVE THIS SONG. ITS WAY ABOVE YOUR HEADS I SEE. 5/5 EASY!!!
THIS SONG IS LYRICALLY WHACK ASS HELL BUT BEYONCE HAD A BAD HOOK BUT SHE MADE THE BAD SOUND GOOD. THE BEAT WAS ON POINT THOUGH SOUNDS LIKE SOME GRADUATION STUFF.
this shit is hoot
AMAZING i dont think people appreciate good music anymore
…with an unorthodox, non 4/4 beat like this…you need to either use a delivery that sharply cuts right through it or a flow that dances around in the pocket, yet landing on the snare…not to mention…injecting provocative lyrics to at least mesh better with the epic feel of the track…the only reason why BEYONCE OWNS THIS TRACK was…she was the only one on the song REALLY TRYING!!!
Lol ok expert, lets see what you got?
Yeah, Kanye blows and always has. Jay-z is falling off.
@ lol, that was by far the most useless comment I have seen on any post. your response shows that you have zero knowledge on the subject the original poster was talking about.
I dont think Kayne blows, but he mumbled on this track. the end of all of his lines tailed off into a mumble instead of the usual punch he gives. I’ve never been a fan of “B” but she did show how you really sing on this track. And the track is forgettable. 5 min after listening to it, nothing stands out other then the spaceship count down at the end. Was Jay even on this track?!?! (the previous sentence was factious and sarcastic) I find both Jay and Ye can come up with great concepts but this one fell short for me. I’m not going to rate because I dont want to be classified as a “Hater” haha.
fuck all you motherfuckin dumbasses. all yall fuckin do is hate on everything, including your mom. yall would hate on someone even if they gave you a million dollars for no reason. fucking stupid ass kid. grow the fuck up or come to house & get fucked up. I tired of all this people complaining about this & that. don’t like it??? ignore it.
interesting, why are you worried about what others think? why are you so defensive about that others think, their opinions and views? I agree that if people dont like something that they not bash it. but even your are guilty of this so called “Hate” and being a “motherfuckin dumbass…” for the things you dont like bet yet have an opinion of. So instead of getting hostile, try articulating why you think this track is good. As a matter of fact, that last point goes for all. Whether you like the song or not, articulate why and start an intellectual debate. This mindless banter about “you hate money, you hate real hip hop” is just stupid.
Yes
cool track…
who gon stop me and this song are prob my fav on ths album.
No offense this track wasn’t that great. I seriously think this album was really overrated. The album was really overrated, i’m pretty sure many hiphop artist would agree with me. But beyonce did make this track more listenable.
If it’s so overrated then why is selling so damn good?
naw he’s right…album is overrated its just because its ye and jay…eventhough im a big fan of both of them I dont like the fact that they can release sub-par music and get away with it…..people just ain’t real these days inside and out of the industry..album=barely 3/5 stars
dope song! dope album..
this is real terrible, worst song on that album
I love the hook….everything else is an afterthought
this song sounds horrible
one of my fav songs on the album
lift off
illest motherfucker alive
primetime
new day
otis
h.a.m
fuck it…im gonna end up naming the entire track list.
If the song isn’t that good then why are there so many comments about it? Great song, great album! Bottom line u hating ass therms
straight therms
And how can you hate WTT? We finally have something to listen to besides someone talking about just cars, clothes, hoes, and weed or is that all people wanna hear these days? Well i’m tired of all dat goofy shit, and WTT is the relief to dat shit. Jay and Yeezy on to some new,better shit!
Great song at a great time.
shit if u call this hip hop then its defo dead weakest shit i heard listen to the game born in the trap then play this puhhh
P R E F E C T I O N…. ITS MUSIC ITS ART…….PICTURE THE SONG 5/5
not that good
fuck you
HIP HOP
who ever says this song is weak or not that good or w.e is def. retarted,
@tush-hes right its Art AND CREATIVITY and thats what more songs should have but don’t
these days all u get is lex lugar beats and weak rappers being called great,i do love gangsta music but this song shud be 8 stars hands down
Thats what we need more music thats quality.
I grew up in the trap. no college, got a big ass house, cars,and pockets. evolve people, Please. beautiful music.
this album is weak … the carter 4 is way better than this shit … very dissapointing especially cuz its jay z and kanye
FUCK NO!…. Tha Carter IV Is Not Better Than Watch The Throne… I’ll Listen To WTT Twice In A Row Before I Listen To Tha Carter IV… It Aint Whack, But It Aint WTT
Love this song it’s unique because these days all we got is rapper singing and raping about cars,money,guns,or fucking a “hoe” but this song didn’t do that it has its own u i when style I guess some people these days just wanna hear that wack shit instead of this wonderful song
Great Music Finally ✨
