the day has finally arrived. hip hop royalty has released their joint album, Watch the Throne. with very mixed reviews, i cannot wait to see how sales turn out. a lot of people refer to Jay-Z’s previous joint effort with R.Kelly, which resulted— as well as the album— with a flop. this time around, ‘Ye and his big brother bring a project mostly produced by Kanye with feature production credits from Frank Ocean and Swizz Beatz. after a first listen…. i like it!
when they released their first single last month, “Otis”, i was convinced that this album was going to be a bunch of bull. i was unimpressed with the track, and found myself liking only ‘Ye’s verse starting with “I made ‘Jesus Walks’, I’m never going to hell”. after a couple more listens, the song has grown on me. what other songs do i favor off the album?
