Official Watch the Throne Thread...

[imadeit2]

SMH money, clothes, and hoes been the main staples of hip-hop since the beginning my dude. It's never changed.

Being flashy and everything has been apart of the African Way since the beginning of time.

it made me close my eyes and see success through their eyes.

Notice how a lot of people that bash the album say they were bragging, but it goes to show the type of mindset a lot people are in... they feel a certain way towards successful people.

That shit should be inspiration to people. Two black guys from poor, fucked up neighborhoods now sitting on a throne, a throne that was not built for minorities.

That whole album gave this "this is how success feels like" vibe... look how i can go to paris, fly around in private jets, ball out, buy expensive clothes and smell good all while doing it, these are the rewards of hardwork and you too can achieve that.

noticed you hit a lot of nerves with this post, good shit. the album is an inspiration.

It is inspirational when someone from the bottom who grew up with nothing reaches a success level that most people won't see in their lifetime.They achieved it regardless of race or class.A new day talking about the troubles their unborn son might get no matter how successful they are,welcome to the jungle questioning god for taking the lives of their uncle and fathers lives,not being able to cry in public as the press wont leave them alone,thanking their mother and grandmother for helping get to where they are (made in america) i swear the most fitting quote for this is:do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it

preach!

the album went from the success (bragging) to the struggle to get the success... just like a lot of us went through or is going through... a story that can be told and has been told by many others and said in many different ways (bragging).....

"Power to the people, when you see me, see you"

When they call themselves "Niggas In Paris" - the earlier comments seem trivial. LOL. Still a hot track - That Shit Cray! This shirt pays hommage to the KINGS --> http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sh-​t-Cray-T...t=LH_DefaultDomain_2&va​r&hash=item82653b6d69

lmao, who said that?

 

[babybugz]

[willhustle]

Put The Joy & Illest MuthaFucka Alive on, take Lift Off & That's My Bitch Off

Nah I say keep The Joy & That's My Bitch on the album and scrap the other bonus tracks and get rid of "No Church In The Wild" & Lift Off no reason Beyonce' should of been on this album.

So if nggas dont like the album they not succesful? Lmaooo

And i actually like the album, but lets cut the shyt

Bottom line is jayz needs a notebook. That off the top shyt makes him 100% replceable on half the album, specially next to oanye who does poetry...hes mad inconsistent

If the jayz from 'welcome to the jungle' and 'new day' were on evry song, the album would he phenomenal...

Instead, in half the songs he sounds tired...

I shouldnt have to listen to a jayz album like i listen to a rick ross album...i.e. are the beats hot, check for lyrics later...

So if u judge it in todays standards, yea its great...but jayz can do better lyrically

[MC The Rapper]

watch the throne was not impressive from a song writing lyrical stand point , he won't shelve his album because of that
