After weeks of waiting, The Throne finally dropped their highly anticipated album last night. So far, reception has been mixed and coming fast and furious. Producer 9th Wonder, who has worked with Jay-Z, gave his thoughts on the album via his Twitter account. Here’s what he had to say:

Thank you God for giving me the ability to listen to music objectively, despite how big the artist is. Lemme tell yall something, I am not a follower, never will be, if something is dope, cool, if not, then cool, but I don’t follow. #STANDTALL.

I just checked it out.#WTT. WTT as a whole is not for me. I can rock with “New Day” & “The Joy”. I understand expansion/experimentation in music, but its not for me. It has nothing to do with samples vs. keys, cause I ROCKS with The Neptunes, Swizz, etc.

So lets see who’s the first Hip-Hop blog will be the first one to put up my thoughts of the album. So I guess my brother @marcopolo is crazy too? Nah, not at all.

As a musician/beatmaker/active participant in hip-hop, I want to be SCARED when I hear something, like when I heard Aquemini. It has nothing to with the STYLE of rap, subject matter, NOTHING. Its the FEELING for me. U can KILL 50 people in a song as long as it bangs.

I said ” the joint wasn’t for ME”, reading is fundamental. I think I expressed my opinions very eloquently. Different time, different generation. Errybody says IM angry. Who’s more angry, ME or THEM? *Turns on Section 80*.

Here is the funniest thing of the NIGHT…over HALF of these nukkas on here DOWNLOADED it from MEDIAFIRE, lol. Can someone repost my initial comments from last night…*brushes off stones*.

Well can't give it a full opinion until a couple more listens
I did like it though, 3.5 or 4 out of 5
not as good as MBDTf
better than BP3

Wasn't really looking for a single with this, just was looking for a decent project, which Is what I think I got

lmao just got through it

lift off is wack.. semms more of a beyonce and good music production showcase

started off great with no church... ye killed that shit

Niggas in Paris could kill the clubs

second half a lot better than the first


Great album...

Agree with all of this, especially the bolded.

The bass on Niggas In Paris is something serious.

And I definitely agree the latter half is better than the first.

It's backlash

9th wonder is trash and his music is for backpackers who sit in their room and draw and write in their diary/journals wit their headphones on

He can promote an album heavily and nobody would give a fuck

Last thing I checked from duke was the buckshot the formula album that dropped in 08

lol and this is the kind of response that comes when somebody says they dont like something

Not better then BP3 but a good album... some good joints... I like the album has a song to you can play some time in your day.. good stuff...

Let's be honest here, beyond the names and the hype, this album was destined to be mediocre at best and horrible at worst. In an era where Nicki Minaj, Wiz Khalifa and a group of other bum rappers are stars, Knaye and Jay stand above them. Too bad they haven't elevated the game at all.

9th is a beastsmith that understands HIP-HOP... I respect his opinion and tend to agree with it.

he tried to hop on the Lil B bandwagon though...
9th is one of my favorite producers and he is entitled to his opinion...
I do find it odd that he gave Lil B love and is shitting on these dudes...

how did he shit on them by saying "the album was not for me"?
