this album sux ! so they can rap about money and lil wayne cant fuck you all you think you are big person just bcs u rap about I GOT THIS CAR YOU DONT FUCK YOU I M RICH AND YOU DONT HAVE NOTHING TO EAT (Meanwile in africa) at least lil wayne doesent talking about comparing to poor persons
expectations r horrible like mac miller stated. If u think a album is gona be Amazing & the best of all Watch The Throne kinda set that by the title. if it is just slightly not perfect then ur gona hate it & say it sucked. I saw Watch The Throne gets a 8.5 kuz it was a good album
Would be the ones I listen to off there. I actually expected better too. For you to claim you have the throne and are the king it just didn't live up. Maybe expectations were just too high
It's much more of a Kanye West album than a Jay-Z album for me, apart from N****s In Paris and Otis, Kanye outshines Jay on every song. And apart from Murder To Excellence, it ends after the fifth song.
@SuperThroatpuncher Now that the year is almost over I came back to this and it's just crazy to me how far the opinions are on here from people I come in contact with everyday. Kanye takes a backseat to Jay lyrically on 80% of the album. Are you guys really hip hop heads? Kanye was better on Otis and then preceded to get outrapped on nearly every song besides the Murder part on Murder to Excellence.
@zsharpe04 Thats true about lyricism, Jay is a better rapper than Kanye, but sadly this shit wasn't about being lyrical, it was about being way too rich. Still quite entertaining though.
Album of the Year hands down.... the carter sounds so basic compared to this masterpiece... and check out that Childish Gambino CAMP thats a close second
Months later seeing how this album has grown and has staying power shows how these reviewers are just off. I listen to this album everyday and it just gets better. Damn it's got to be the hip hop album of the year.
These guys are a bunch of ignorant dicks. They don't appreciate No Church in the Wild? Cos they're too fucking dumb to appreciate the meaning of those lyrics...
@666trill666 he said he was gay in this vid to get out of the way what people will say in the comments so they would have nothing to say. and in previous vids hes said things like "ive had girls" and different shit like that
@kdpflanders1 He was talking like how 12 year olds on the internet call everything, "gay." So, he was simply beating them to the punch. I don't think C is really homosexual, because on the Cypher review episodes (I think?) he said some pretty heterosexual comments.
The last line by Kinge pretty much summarised it all. Another thing for us Jay&Kanye fans who thought it was aight, which is a reason why i didn't fuck with it in the beginning, was the "new" type of sound on the beats.
I HAVE BEE FAN OF THESE GUYS FOR A WHILE BUT THIS REVIEW WAS A COMPLETE FUCKING LET DOWN IT SEEM LIKE THEY OVER ANALYZE AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS ANYMORE WTT WAS THE SHYT THE BEST ALBUM SINCE MBDTF HANDS DOWN
title like watch the throne means look at us relive and celebrate our success. This wasn't ever gonna be a bad meets evil or an album that was gonna set standards. It was suposed to show everyone how they are at the top.
I disagree with 97% of what c-town said. The album was bragadocious but had real messages and substance, the production wasn't bland, the album wasnt just about what they got. I liked the album. C-town isn't a jay or kanye fan..WHY THE FUCK did you all let him carry the conversation? He should have had the least amount to say. The light skinned dude with the hat couldnt form his own opinion if his life depended on it. The album was good. ITS A GOOD ALBUM.
guy with the dreads says it alll ... thats the only reason i say nas over jay pac over big and j cole over drake ... i wunna hear that real shit ... not everyone is rich .. so thats not all i wunna hear
imo,it was a wack album,i didn't like it.i don't really like their content 'cause they be constantly talkin' about the same shit and lyrically they weren't that good but there were good moments on the album.being an album with kanye on it,i expected better production too,otis had a good beat but they didn't make that justice they didn't say shit at all.i never was a fan jay-z but i was expectin' way more from this,it was really a big let down. there were way better albums this year though.
for those that said Jay-z lyrics were whack.. you are seriously hating on this shit. you must Really not be listening to what hes saying.
"this is to the memory of Danroy Henry. too much enemy fire to catch a Friendly. Strays from the same shade? Nigga, we on the same team! Giving you respect, i expect the same thing..."- Murder to Excellence
The Lyrics saved this album... i was Not feeling it, because of the beats. Once i really listend to the lyrics, i was sold! The beats slowly came around, but now i Love that shit!
watch the throne is very over the top. all the songs sound like Arena music, and thats what u love about it... this whole album Cray!
this album is the best album of 2011, it was better than tha carter iv. kanye is the best rapper alive, jay-z was tight af on this album. all the songs were dope af, even tho murder to excellence was one of those songs i could skip.
I think that Kanye and Jay-Z are so big and great in their own way when you put them together they don't have a chance to achieve their potential, kind of like the miami heat, its their first album together, i got what i expected but if they make another together then expectation will really change, I also felt that kanye carried the album
@betthis36 I thought that too at first but after listening a few times. It was obvious that Jay-Z was the better rapper, but that's to be expected. Kanye was better on Otis and maybe 1 or two other tracks. But doesn't matter. It's just a really good album.
Whoever that dude with the dreads is needs to stop listening to music because it's obvious that he has an agenda and doesn't listen. The point of murder to excellence was the contrast between the negatives of the black community and also where we are and can aspire to. "Domino, domino, fewer blacks the higher up that I go." Please shut up man, you don't even listen. Otis is a radio track? Really? That for a first single? Please go listen to the actual lyrics. Did you review in 3 seconds?
@m33td1k He basically said it was a generic first single...same thing...be realistic. Name me the last first single that sounded like Otis? You'd have to go back to the college dropout era
@zsharpe04 mm not really, didn't say anything about it sounding liek radio or anything like that, and dude i dont disagree with you, i love otis, i think this is also a really good album, im just saying you got your facts wrong a bit :p
Jay-z and kanye have nothing to prove, they have proven their lyrical ability. This album was what it was, Watch The Throne, they are pretty much saying this is what we do. We are kings and this is what kings do Niggas.
I think you people judged the album based of the sound of the music not the lyrics or what they were saying I suppose bc the whole album wasnt about bragging or money at all and Im not kanye and jay's fan.
watched the review. yall were praising murder in excellence so i listened to it. imma big kanye fan, big reasonable doubt jay z fan. i thought this cd sucked. for a cd at jay and kanyes standards, murder i n excellence should b a filler track.
u dudes cant be for real...his flow was tight, he sounded like the old jay.. yhll sound like three year old kids....it was no more then three songs that needed a little more work, other then that,...it was crack....yhll should leave the drugs alone the mind is very sad part of your body to waist....
I'm sorry but this album is on repeat 4 me because I absolutely love it. Compared to what's out now this is great. I think because they relied more on lyrics and beats rather than a catchy hook many people won't like it. I also think people had unrealistic expectations 4 this album, like it was suppose to be a miracle cd or something. lol. Nonetheless, this cd was great and people just need to hear it 4 themselves.
great review ima kanye west fan i think he the best right now, but seriously jay-z is trash and aint fuckin wit kanye west at all. kanye went below his level to do a album with yeezy
I loved That's My Bitch. I don't think they realize this album is innovative in the the production sense. Yes it bragadocious but it's done tastefully I satisfied. Not to mention Frank Ocean up next...they could've put Cubic and J. Cole on a track. Give them some shine on that platform.
Now Im thinking the same thing its Kanye and Jay what do u expect them to spit .If Im a fan of these guys and they not spitting luxury rap Im like what the fuck.I niggaz in paris,gotta have it,who going to stop me,primetime,otis, joy and illest motherfucker alive,welcome to the jungle are good songs.This shit way better then carter 4.
I want them to review it again to.Because the album is great.If your a backpacker you should not be able to review albums like this.Most backpackers is not going to like what Jay z does because he's the sell out.New day,welcome to the jungle,Murder of excellence and made in america.Those are not luxury rap songs.Say what u want about those songs but they are not money money songs.People always want Jay to sound like there fav jay z album.If u want the new trend it cant sound like old albums.
new day, niggaz in paris,gotta have it, otis,welcome to the jungle,who gon stop me,murder of excellence,made in a america,illest motherfucker alive,primetime,the joy,ham.
I've always liked Jay, and I been so so with Kanye. And I coped this album and listened to it several times in my car. They shoulda named this thing Watch The Trash can...based on the two dudes who was spittin. I wont all out say its Wack...but it was too close to wack for a product from Jay and Kanye.
so is C-Town really gay or was he just saying that cuz he assumed he would be called that? Cuz his voice is kinda high pitch so it would make sense...
guys you should make a video and talk about the 10 greatest mcs of all time and follow a criteriia to base judgment on ... it would be very fun to watch
I stopped watching after that nigga said this album had no good production or lyrics. Look at fucking rap genius if you must, Jay gives some of the best raps of the year, just cuz the flow isn't insane doesnt mean his raps aren't good. And if you're dissing production from Kanye, 88 Keys, RZA, and The Neptunes then you already lost tbh. Terrible review. I agree it wasn't a classic, but this album is a straight banger with like 2 bad songs.
@obie1benobee15 huh? ye has always been different and experimental with his music but thats just my opinion its was epic to me and outshined jayz too.....yea i said it lol
after watching yall's reviews on WATCH THE THRONE and THE R.E.D ALBUM can somebody just be honest and admit that THE R.E.D ALBUM is far better than WTT? on a scale of 1-10 I give WTT a 4 1/2 & THE R.E.D ALBUM GETS 8 1/2...... Jay Z and Kanye are highly overrated HIGHLY!!! WTT is TRASH!!!!
the singles turned me off so much that i didnt bother listening to it. and im a fan of both of them, but i wont waste my time listening to anything mediocre im sorry
I'm Proud Of This Album Because Frank Ocean Has Some Exposure. I Liked His MixTape, And For Kanye And Jay To Put HIm On Because Of A MixTape Is A Blessing. It Was Not "THRONE WORTHY". There Were Some Like FeeFo Said, But This Was a SMH Moment. I Was Expecting Kanye West (Graduation). Not Really A Big Fan Of Jay-Z, But I Was Expecting Jay-Z To Go H.A.M. On This Album. The Album Is Titled "Watch The Throne". So To Jay And Kanye, "Watch The Throne", Because Someone Is Gonna Take It From You Guys.
@coop1974a Please post the time (minutes/seconds) where most of us (which would have to be, at least, 3/5 of us) say that at least 10 of the songs are "tight." Actually, I'll take you showing me where anyone except Rod said that. If/when you can't do that, I think that would be grounds for you to shut the fuck up.

Reading these comments has confirmed for me that some people who consider themselves even moderately intelligent can't accept that people have different opinions on what's good and what's not. Yet they come here and watch reviews so they can bitch and cry if someone has an opposing opinion. I wish someone would pass them a napkin so they can clean Jay & Ye's sauce out their eyes. Maybe then they'll see that their idols aren't always deserving and their opinion isn't the only one that matters.
Watching this video has confirmed for me that some people that consider themselves hard core hip-hop heads (not all) can't just enjoy albums. When they first listen to albums they go in with the mindset oh how to criticize music whether conscious or subconsciousness. Just look at the reasons they give and then go back listen to the music a lot of the time things won't add up. Great analogies don't always make real merit. That is the difference in something not being for you and hating.
@coop1974a I'm a listener who enjoys alot of music I love Tyler the creator's Goblin and a lot of hiphop heads disliked that but I agree with a lot of their points on this album, I got bored with it.
@Niggyomama And that's cool, but point is that some of the reasons @mykectown is giving doesn't connect with those parts of the album. It sounds more like a preconceived notion than critical thinking.
Great analogy with the Gucci white tee.... I have to agree that this album is subpar. I was disappointed. I like "New Day" and maybe 1 or 2 others but that's about it.
@mykectown Murder To Excellence, No Church In The Wild, New Day, Made In America, Why I Love You, The Joy, and Why I Love You, Ni**as in Paris are are really good songs. You guys sound like you wanted to open the CD case and some great religious light to come out. And with those type of expectations no album will be good.
@coop1974a Here you go again making shit up. Did you watch the video on mute the whole time while making up your own dialogue? How about some of us just didn't like the fuckin album. Sorry if that doesn't work for you, but you're just gonna have to get over the fact that your personal taste is not law. And why do you keep coming at me in particular with this shit? You're not gonna convince me to like the album. Next point, bruh.
@mykectown Hilarious I replied to 2 of your post and after that I made a statement about the whole review that wasn't about you in anyway, but you replied to it because you are sounding insecure of your own opinion. For example your point about the flow of beats from song to song for me the beat pace is up and down from song to song. But hey tone is different for all of us.
@coop1974a I replied to it, genius, because you keep mentioning my name! What the fuck is wrong with you? It's starting to seem obvious that either you're a troll or you're a little slow because you haven't made one single plausible point. I'm gonna assume you're a troll over being stupid (hope I'm not wrong here). So I guess you got me. Consider me "trolled." You win. Congrats.
@mykectown The post that we both are talking about I did not mention you in. And no I am not a "troll" I'm just someone that is showing that you have comprehension issue which shows why you don't like the album. You don't like that it came out digital first, you don't like that it was on pre-sale a week before the release date was announced, you don't like that the sun will come out tomorrow, and you don't like that the smurfs aren't real.
@coop1974a Are you really this stupid or is this a practical joke? You orig post was a direct REPLY to mine. Common sense is you would be talking to me. Then everything you've said since has said @mykectown at the beginning of it. But I have a comprehension issue. You started off saying that most of said at least 10 songs were tight. I killed that so you moved onto we sounded like we had high expectations of it (even though we said the opposite).
@coop1974a I killed that so now I don't the presales (even though that argument had nothing to do with the quality of the album). I've said numerous times that I personally didn't like the album, but could understand others diggin it. But you're not happy unless everyone agrees with your opinion. But still, I have a comprehension issue. OK, saying you were a troll was obviously giving you too much credit. Maybe you are just an idiot.
@mykectown The presale point was to show how silly some of your reasons are. More proof of you comprehension issues. I don't care if you don't like the album or not. I just find that the reasons you gave are questionable. You really come across like a smart dumb angry guy. Kind of like the mad rapper. I've even watch some of your other videos you always seem angry. Are there some issues you need to talk to someone about?
@mykectown The post said "Listening to this review I hear all of you criticizing this album but at the same time most of you have said that at-least 10 of the songs are tight come on get it together" does it mention you any where in there? Yes or No please. And you killed nothing I stand by what I said.
@coop1974a And if you're too stupid to understand exactly what I mean by "time" I mean the minute and second mark. Hopefully you can figure that out. If you can show me most of us saying that, I'll apologize. When you can't do that, that alone will have killed your entire argument and you should ban yourself from ever attempting to debate anything ever again.
@mykectown @5:54 (also shows you contradicting yourself with @11:48) @8:17 @ @14:54 (Also shows you totally disrespecting someone else opinion). Now let me ask this why don't you explain your lack of comprehension of the last verse on Murder & Excellence or how it's all about money with it's not you look beyond the top lair. Like I've already said You're nothing more then a smart dumb guy.
@coop1974a This, again, shows me that you're a complete fucking idiot. None of those times showed anyone saying "at least 10 songs are tight." Not only that, I wasn't even speaking at 11:48. You, coop, are a dipshit that obviously has nothing else to do than to create debates over shit that you've made up (aka TROLL). Write whatever you like, but until you've shown where anyone said "at least 10 songs are tight" you should commence to shutting the fuck up because you have no argument. Thank you.
@mykectown Should have said "@5:54 (also shows you contradicting yourself with @14:48)", but truely you are the made rapper, as I've said you are smart dumb guy. Go listen to the old mad rapper skits and that is you to the core.
@coop1974a Please post the time (minutes/seconds) where most of us (which would have to be, at least, 3/5 of us) say that at least 10 of the songs are "tight." Actually, I'll take you showing me where anyone except Rod said that. If/when you can't do that, I think that would be grounds for you to shut the fuck up.
its a album with million dollar over the top beat(kayne west),decent rhymes based on 90% of rappers out there now who are crap.and i love it because i did not expect a resonable doubt meets with graduation classic.i hated kayne west last album it seem like a sing along to me. great beats crappy rhymes but so unique people loved it.ill take this album over kayne last cuz jayz being on it kayne west step his rhyme game up but jayz just rhyme
The Album wasnt all about excess though. Murder To Excellence, No Church In The Wild, New Day, Made In America, Why I Love You, The Joy, and Why I Love You are not songs about excess.
Seriously, it sounds like they didnt even listen to the songs all the way through.
@LaLaGrunge Lol do you even listen to Kanye? Every album he drops is different Graduation being the happy album, 808's being the sad album, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy being a master piece. Not every song is the same.
@feefo24 i'd have to say my top 5 is 1. gotta have it 2. new day 3. otis 4. no church 5. niggas in paris. the only song i didn''t like was lift off. i was pretty mad at how bad their "verses" were on that song, coulda been a lot better. thats about the only gripe i had with the album tho, i thought it was really good. i honestly think it's the best hip hop album of the year, ahead of section.80 and bad meets evil
mike i just need to correct you on something. you were WAY off when you said jay was talking about maybachs on murder to excellence. you need to understand that track consists of two beats. the 1st was produced by swizz (murder) and the 2nd by s1(excellence). the second beat is about black excellence so jay was rapping maybachs(once) to celebrate black excellence. he didnt rap about that shit on murder. completely different. he was on point with murder check the song back if you have to
@KingARSENAL14 i just felt i needed to say that because it seemed like you were nit picking a bit and only commented on jays faults(even tho this is not one) and you completely forgot to mention ye's atrocious verses on lift off but went straight to hov. (by the way i must add you can tell even jay wanted nothing to do with "lift off" as he spit only 5bars). anyways if you werent nit picking and actually didnt know murder to excellence were two songs then im glad i can help and correct you
this album sux ! so they can rap about money and lil wayne cant fuck you all you think you are big person just bcs u rap about I GOT THIS CAR YOU DONT FUCK YOU I M RICH AND YOU DONT HAVE NOTHING TO EAT (Meanwile in africa) at least lil wayne doesent talking about comparing to poor persons

"this is to the memory of Danroy Henry. too much enemy fire to catch a Friendly. Strays from the same shade? Nigga, we on the same team! Giving you respect, i expect the same thing..."- Murder to Excellence

this album is the best album of 2011, it was better than tha carter iv. kanye is the best rapper alive, jay-z was tight af on this album. all the songs were dope af, even tho murder to excellence was one of those songs i could skip.
JohNny2OohsiCk 4 months ago
I think that Kanye and Jay-Z are so big and great in their own way when you put them together they don't have a chance to achieve their potential, kind of like the miami heat, its their first album together, i got what i expected but if they make another together then expectation will really change, I also felt that kanye carried the album
betthis36 4 months ago
@betthis36 I thought that too at first but after listening a few times. It was obvious that Jay-Z was the better rapper, but that's to be expected. Kanye was better on Otis and maybe 1 or two other tracks. But doesn't matter. It's just a really good album.

Whoever that dude with the dreads is needs to stop listening to music because it's obvious that he has an agenda and doesn't listen. The point of murder to excellence was the contrast between the negatives of the black community and also where we are and can aspire to. "Domino, domino, fewer blacks the higher up that I go." Please shut up man, you don't even listen. Otis is a radio track? Really? That for a first single? Please go listen to the actual lyrics. Did you review in 3 seconds?

I'm sorry but this album is on repeat 4 me because I absolutely love it. Compared to what's out now this is great. I think because they relied more on lyrics and beats rather than a catchy hook many people won't like it. I also think people had unrealistic expectations 4 this album, like it was suppose to be a miracle cd or something. lol. Nonetheless, this cd was great and people just need to hear it 4 themselves.

I stopped watching after that nigga said this album had no good production or lyrics. Look at fucking rap genius if you must, Jay gives some of the best raps of the year, just cuz the flow isn't insane doesnt mean his raps aren't good. And if you're dissing production from Kanye, 88 Keys, RZA, and The Neptunes then you already lost tbh. Terrible review. I agree it wasn't a classic, but this album is a straight banger with like 2 bad songs.

I'm Proud Of This Album Because Frank Ocean Has Some Exposure. I Liked His MixTape, And For Kanye And Jay To Put HIm On Because Of A MixTape Is A Blessing. It Was Not "THRONE WORTHY". There Were Some Like FeeFo Said, But This Was a SMH Moment. I Was Expecting Kanye West (Graduation). Not Really A Big Fan Of Jay-Z, But I Was Expecting Jay-Z To Go H.A.M. On This Album. The Album Is Titled "Watch The Throne". So To Jay And Kanye, "Watch The Throne", Because Someone Is Gonna Take It From You Guys.

Reading these comments has confirmed for me that some people who consider themselves even moderately intelligent can't accept that people have different opinions on what's good and what's not. Yet they come here and watch reviews so they can bitch and cry if someone has an opposing opinion. I wish someone would pass them a napkin so they can clean Jay & Ye's sauce out their eyes. Maybe then they'll see that their idols aren't always deserving and their opinion isn't the only one that matters.
mykectown 6 months ago
Watching this video has confirmed for me that some people that consider themselves hard core hip-hop heads (not all) can't just enjoy albums. When they first listen to albums they go in with the mindset oh how to criticize music whether conscious or subconsciousness. Just look at the reasons they give and then go back listen to the music a lot of the time things won't add up. Great analogies don't always make real merit. That is the difference in something not being for you and hating.

@mykectown The post that we both are talking about I did not mention you in.

@coop1974a Are you really this stupid or is this a practical joke? You orig post was a direct REPLY to mine. Common sense is you would be talking to me. Then everything you've said since has said @mykectown at the beginning of it. But I have a comprehension issue. You started off saying that most of said at least 10 songs were tight. I killed that so you moved onto we sounded like we had high expectations of it (even though we said the opposite).
mykectown 6 months ago
@coop1974a I killed that so now I don't the presales (even though that argument had nothing to do with the quality of the album). I've said numerous times that I personally didn't like the album, but could understand others diggin it. But you're not happy unless everyone agrees with your opinion. But still, I have a comprehension issue. OK, saying you were a troll was obviously giving you too much credit. Maybe you are just an idiot.
mykectown 6 months ago
@mykectown The presale point was to show how silly some of your reasons are. More proof of you comprehension issues. I don't care if you don't like the album or not. I just find that the reasons you gave are questionable. You really come across like a smart dumb angry guy. Kind of like the mad rapper.
