  • great review, but i really think you should start trying to review the deluxe versions of albums, they have more songs and with this album the deluxe version had some of the best songs on the whole thing, and not many people even heard of them :)

  • Thank god someone saw the album for what it was, basically an excuse to brag about their fame. That's great & all but to basically make a whole album about it is ridiculous & on top of that they're not even bragging to good beats! we've all seen them do way better on their own so idk why this album was such trash. they had literally 3 good songs out of 16 on the deluxe which were niggas in paris, gotta have it, and HAM -__-

  • @AnonymousShortii What about "murder to Excellence" ? like anthony said that shit was fire.

  • @Juiceish1 ok make that 4 out of 16. murder to excellence was a pretty good song too

  • @theneedledrop your awesome i did not even new you reviewed this you have so many reviews and i love them all

  • Kanye West and Jay Z suck soooo much. hip hop my ass, classify em as hip pop. talent? LOL

  • kanye west sampled otis redding in late registration get real yo, the guys been doing it since he was coming up, thats the base of his genius as a musician

  • also, I feel like you really overlooked No Church In The Wild. That track is straight fire. Sorry to get so defensive, I just really loved this album.

  • how is thats my bitch your least favorite track?! THAT CHORUS!

  • V-nasty hahaha

  • 0:48 Apershiate

  • Shabazz Palaces - 'Black Up' in the back.

    I see what you did there

  • I really think you should try understand what the lyrics mean to the artist(s) and not what they mean to you. I've been watching your videos for about 3 hour now and you never seem to be impressed by any rap/hip hop music. Hip hop isn't dead. Believe me. Listen to it from their perspective. This album is a classic and EASILY one of 2011's best.

  • you complain about them rapping about their success but why shouldnt they ? they came from the ground with not a penny to their pockets and now look were they are, if anybody was in there position they would do the same

  • The only song i liked was Murder to Excellence overall the album wasn't that great.

  • No Church In The Wild :X

  • This album won a grammy but you only gave it a 5/10 ? At least give it 6 lol

  • @flit22 You're kidding, right?

  • Album sucked besides niggas in Paris,gotta have it, no church in the wild

  • Jay Z = past his prime. Kanye West = always sucked. :D

  • the regular album sucks. I bought the deluxe edition today because I like the last 3 songs.

  • You should do a review on Cole World: The Sideline Story!!!!

  • idc what anybody says i fucking love this album 

  • Watch the Throne, such a great album. Such good production, great lyrics. Jay and Kanye both push there swaggers back and forth and it builds up to make a good album. They did a reallllly good job on this.

  • How dare you rate Take Care over this album. You should burn in hell for that.

  • That's My Bitch had great samples, I don't understand why being minimal with the scratches and beat take away from the song at all? Seriously its the rhythm that matters, the beat or scratches were crisp, thats the only thing I disagree with on this review and kinda annoys me because I really liked that aspect

  • 3/10 for me.

  • I agree with you on almost all of your reviews, you have great reviews.

    The only review I disagree with you on is Childish Gambino - Camp.

  • poor review this one

  • @GodBlessCantona Really? I agreed with every bit.

  • just to let you know the third track is niggas in paris

  • no church in the wild=awesomest beat ever sampled in the history of the world

  • the beginning made me laugh

  • Every track except for Lift Off had a great beat. Too bad Kanye and Jay-Z ruined every song except maybe Otis with their rapping.

    

  • It was ok. Some parts of it were fantastic, and others were........ I dunno. It was too be expected of a collabo album of 2 of the most chart topping, hyped of rappers, that talk about themselves all the time. I enjoyed it, it was better then Tha Carter 4, or........ (dear god) take care.

  • No way, this is the only time I have ever strongly strongly disagreed, this album is absolutely huge, the beats are unqiue and awesome. The lyrics are decent, but the way they flow with said unique beats is just amazing. I'd give it an 8 or a 9 out of 10. Although that's just my opinion.

  • shutup .Its A 10 out of 5

  • this guy is wise!

  • REVIEW every album ever made please!!

  • I went into Watch The Throne as just that, knowing they had nothing to prove they would just throw down some of the greatest rhymes heard, maybe tell a story (after listening to was proven right) and do it over the widest amount of different sounding beats possible (especially when i heard H.A.M. was a lex beat)

  • What album does he like? He's hard to please. I never seen him give higher than a 6

  • @DatBOYsmooth92 Elmatic, Section.80, Honkey Kong, R.E.K.S, Oneirology, Black and Brown, XXX, Returnof4eva.

  • @DatBOYsmooth92 look on his website under the "loved list" section

  • Watch the throne should of been Jay-Z and Nas.

  • FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP REVIEWING HIP HOP

  • @jemimallah yo FAG BOY Whats Wrong with you man ??

  • you realize you have a trollface in the thumbnail?

  • I died at the V-Nasty part

  • Did you smoke before this vid?

  • 6:24 "The word V-nasty says" in Paris lol

  • these guys totally phoned it in on both the beats and the raps. it's a damn shame for 2 very talented artists to place more emphasis on their image and legacy than letting the music build it for them.

  • Bad Meets Evil - Watch The Throne - Recovery

  • the girl in one of the songs out rap them both

  • I think it's a great album. There are improvement that I think that need to be made. the lack of lyrics on certain track, maybe a little more concept direction but over the album his fun. I found myself rapping over the songs and if an album can do that then it's good.

  • man, i honestly think people didnt like watch the throne as much just due to their own expectations. this album had some great songs: "otis", "niggaz in paris", "why i love you", "h.a.m.", "murder to excellence", "the joy", "who gon stop me", "new day", "no church in the wild", "gotta have it".. the production was top notch.. i don't know what else you people want. you know which album sucked? CARTER 4..

  • WTT fuckin' BLOWS.

  • I didn't like it AT ALL. Only good songs were Ninjas in Paris and Gotta Have It

  • five out of 10? WHAT?

  • @larry89 It sucked

  • WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!

  • i hate how that in each track of the album its either jayz or kanye giving a really bad verse.

    Im saying on one track jayz could kill it and kanye just fucks up the vibe and in other track kanye could be killing it and then jayz comes in and just ruins it. -_-

  • 6:48 - 6:51 That's What She Said

  • the one thing i dont like about this guy's reviews is that his introduction is WAY too long

  • i love how he says his own name lol

  • No Church in the Wild

    Otis

    Niggas in Paris

    Lift Off

    Why I Love you

    Murder to Exellence

    Who Gon Stop Me

    BEST SONGS!

  • And n... (V-Nasty)... the 3rd track:)

  • @theneedledrop

    I like ur reviews. U're one of those ppl who really gets the art of reviewing lol. The thing i disagree with here is the fact that Jay-Z really didn't believe in Kanye as a rapper or as an artist, he wanted Kanye to stick to producing. It was Dame Dash and other guys who found Kanye and believed in him and once Kanye started working on his debut album that's when Jay-Z showed up, only with a recycled verse on the track "Never Let Me Down" lol.

  • @MaadAzzGang

    yea you are right . kayne even admited he sold out . it was all dame .

  • Best Album Of The Year , I love it because they try to Uplight African Americans and display them in a Positive Light , Instead of What Most Rappers Do , Such As Lil Wayne . Kanye West and Jay Z Are Artists . In A League Of Their Own , This Album is A Solid 11 on a Scale Of 1-10. Cockiness ? Who Cares , The Music Is The Only Thing I Care About.

  • Comment removed

  • murder to excellence is bay far the best song on the album

  • You are a pretty decent critic ..... no doubt but when you say this album is a light 6

    thats basically lets me know you where intoxicated while you listened to it . lol

    In most people's worlds a 7 is average . btw Needle drop the album is platinum so far . I guess a million plus ppl wasted there $ . " OR YOUR DELUSIONAL ". ---- SOLID ---- 8 in my book .

    @Kinoshi44htown

  • @Slayton701 Or sales has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of music.

  • this album wasn't bad but it was a big let down, it doesn't deserve all the hype it has in my opinion

  • Illest Motherfucker Alive from the bonus tracks was one of my most epic favourite track seriously that song is legendary.

  • murder to excellence is one of the best hip hop songs of the year

  • Ur a dik ur shit is gay stop hogging thevsea

  • When you are reviewing an album you don't review they personalites, you review the album and giving to the biggest album of the year an 5 man that's so unreal. Sorry for my English but THAT SHIT GAY !!

  • I know the point of this album wasnt to compare them but for most songs I think Kanye was wayyyy better on most tracks. Anyways I would have given this like a 9, I liked all the songs except Lift Off and Made In America were a bit boring.

  • I think its funny how WTT had mixed reviews at first but now its ending up on many best of 2011 lists. its probably because peoples expectations were so high.

  • @lildeezyeattle1 It's not on Anthony's list of Best of 2011 though.

  • review the frank ocean album when it comes out or do nostalgia

  • you say you don't like the celebration of their wealth? but you like 'Gotta have it' ?

  • Hopefully you will be reviewing one of my albums one day

  • Great review I love your technique

  • Comment removed

  • New Day was the best track because it was real, but i thought the album a strong 9 or 10

  • do you not like Made it in America? lol i thought that song was the shit

  • 100000000000000/10 album i am obsesed i went to 11/6/11 concert at izod

  • ~DA ALBUM IS A 10 BITCHES

  • 6/10? harsh rating

  • @kryhmez69 are u serious??? Hip hop is the way it is bcuz no one is following jays "blueprint" to success....not many rappers are original any more...everyones a swagger jacker...everyone raps about tha same shit...thats y hip hops tha wymay it is starting wit bitch ass wayne... Foreal...

  • @TheBeastlyAFG lol no

  • Strong 5 is about right.

  • You don't like Frank Ocean?

  • I miss the old Kanye, college dropout, registration, graduation were his best albums.

    Oh yeah 808's & Heartbreaks had some awesome beats.

  • @shadowlinx93 ikr thats wazup

  • @shadowlinx93 then listen to college drop out , registration and graduation... oh yeah and 808's & heartbreaks instrumentals...idiot

  • @streetball102 I actually do, just speaking on how I think Kanyew Changed...idiot :)

  • @shadowlinx93

    I don't what you mean by " OLD Kanye "

    MBDTF Was a Great album , So Is WATCH THE THRONE

    His Production , Beat-Making Is Still Similar To His Old Stuff

    His Rapping To Me Is Still How It Was On GRADUATION

    Quickly , Smart & Putting me in a good mood

  • Tanks ! really interresting review !

  • FUCK ALL OF YOU WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE JAY-Z IS FUCKING AMAZING KANYE WEST IS AMAZING THE ALBUM OS FUCKING AMAZING AND OF YOU PEOPLE R FUCKING BIGGOTS PEOPLE NOWADAYS PEOPEL HAVE NO FUCKING TASTE OF MUSIC THEY HAVE BEEN THE KINGS SINCE 2000

  • @djkilla0 I AM SO WITH YOU BRO WATCH THE THRONE BEST ALBUM EVER SUK ON THAT OTHER RAPPERS KANYE AND JAY Z BEST TWO RAPPERS IN HISTORY!!!

  • @djkilla0 YO IM WITH U BRO KANYE AND JAY Z ARE UNBEATABLE BEST TWO RAPPERS IN HISTORY EVER SINCE 2000 WATCH THE THRONE IS #1 ALBUM and btw did u go to the concert? i did at izod center

  • better then drakes take care album

  • @nartuox

    Not true. 

  • @nartuox WAT THE FUCK U SMOKING

  • @nartuox Yeah atleast Jay and Yeezy (go damn it why does every damn rapper have to end with y, e, or ie these days, Nicki, Shady, Jeezy, Breezy, Gucci, Drizzy) in their own ways (despite their painfully limited scope of rapping), Drake just said fuck it "insert monotone voice here".

  • @nartuox No where near as good as Take Care was

  • Jay-Z's got 99 problems. Taylor Swift ain't one.

  • I don't think this album should get 5/10. But wasn't surpriced with the score since you only gave MBDTF a 6/10.

  • this album sucks cuz jay z weighs it down and there flows don't go together jay should just retire. look where the state of hip hop has bin sinse they made jigga king if he is the king hes a horrible one.

  • @ComputerGeek444

    If you think Jay Z is a good rapper, you're the daftest person I've ever met.

  • This album has more content than people say. Murder to Excellence is very concious and New Day is deep as fuck. Probably one of the most reflective tracks of the year.

  • Watch The Throne is pure garbage. Section 80 is probably album of the year

  • WHY I LOVE YOU IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT BACK STABBED JAY-Z HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KANYE AND HIS LOVE FOR KANYE (U SR ARE A FUCKING TWEAK)

  • u are ridiculous no where near a celebration album. their is so much lyricism u must have listened to it once never really listening to the lyricism and jus throw it away.

  • if it issent everyones two favorite fake retierie publicity whores on one album .

  • I think you should review Tyga's upcoming album Careless World: Rise Of The Last King

  • Comment removed

  • Otis was one of the greatest rap beats I'd ever heard in my life. Too bad Kanye and Jay had to fuck it up with stupid-ass lyrics.

    It's the same shit you hear in every rap album:

    I'm rich. I'm successful. I'm great. I like light skinned women. I rap better than all the other rappers.

    And that's disappointing coming from Kanye, he always used to have a little more content to his music. I guess Jay's dumbass rubbed off on him.

  • the sample on new day is nina simone i think

  • Lift Off is annoying as hell

  • LMAO V-NASTY!! i was hopiing he woudnt say nigga lol that was hillarious though

  • @QuadQweezy n--

    lmao

  • @RVBeEtZ Kendrick Lamar got 8/10 and Big K.R.I.T. got a 9/10. It really just depends on the artist.

  • Comment removed

  • Technically proficent rappers? hahahah are you trolling bro?

  • dude, do u have sumtin against rap n hip hop albums. lol u neva give em much.....

  • Kanye outrapped Jay Z tho

  • @TheBeastlyAFG all day

  • I love this guy, this album & nerds :D

  • Too much "luxury rap" IMO, however they did do it better than most other people could have done it.

  • tht guy really is a nerd

  • Album was just another attempt at making even more money.

    Subject matter was whack. Jay needs to quit rapping, ever since the Black album he's been putting out crap. Same for Kanye, just stick to beats.

    Hardly called art.

  • PRESS 5 TO HEAR ANTHONY SAY WRESTLING!

  • Check my remix to "That's my Bitch" I rap the second verse and it is by far the best version!

  • Kanye had the better verse, not on every song but on most.

  • this album was such a let down for me. i expected better than an ego booster album especially after kanye dropped mbdtf, but then again i didn't even like that album much, i think graduation was his best work by far. and @itZjstPotna you're fucking stupid this wasn't lyrical at all, some beats were shitty, new day was definitely one of the best songs because it actually had a meaning. niggas in paris just for clubs and shit

  • the album gets a 9.5 out of 10

    this album was a lyricalass album most lyrical album since the MBDTF

    the beats were dope as hell some were classics some were just too dope

    this album has to be the best album then 2nd best album is j cole's debut album.

    anyways the ALBUM was great the only songs that was not keeping up with the rest is new day. my personal favorite was "Niggas in Paris" this song is Provocative.

  • this album was really wack,all they did was brag about what they could buy. the album was boring.

  • i give this album a 5.9 out of 10 i agree some of the songs are cool and some i have to turn away from

  • Hold down 8 - Anthony is mad.

  • @BrandonThomas1990 you obviously have never seriously listened to either one of them except for the stuff that plays on the radio

  • he gave this a 5 out of 10 and cole world a 6 out of 10? cmon i know itsall down to opinion then what would you give to soulja boy and all that shit

  • @TheGijoemusic soulja boy is also shit - in a teeny bopper fagass way.

  • @TheGijoemusic I really think he is a HARSH rater, but he always has valid points.

  • Lol @ henrikroxs :P

  • you're a kanye hater

  • loved the execution of the cal bit in this.

  • for better or worse this album is like lil b on steroids

  • terrible album.

  • This album is nice 4/5

  • hipster

  • illuminati

  • @EmDeeEmEY no i'm not actually. all i meant was some of his album review's i watched he basically said was shit. e.g. this one, hell the sequel. and i loved these album's they are probably two of the best album's released this year. and he said they were shitty,. it just got me a little angry. lol

  • Hell: The Sequel>Watch The Throne

  • @Eziokilla9595 agree. totally. but WTT is alright.

  • not hating but in my opinion about your opinion your corny bro 

  • What do u think of who gon stop me?

  • @29olivergonzalez stop being ignorant and spouting the "N" Word. I know your mama taught u better rhan that. LoL @ ignorant blk/latino ppl who run around w they pants around they knees

  • Review J. Cole's new album :)

  • @BriHuie He already did...

  • so is this kanyes only album for this year? cause i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want a solo album for kanye BADLY

  • @theneedledrop eh, in a way, but no. Trey Songz or Rihanna or some chorus artists aren't gonna have some super lyrical schmearical 8 syllable word parts in any songs...

  • I don't understand all the hype surrounding this album. I found this extremely boring and forgettable I give it about a 3.

  • I enjoy your deep critisms anthony....how about the weeknds "thursday" mixtape

  • This nigga doesnt know about this music genre lol

  • Rage in the Cage!

  • I have to say from
