Kanye West & Jay-Z - Watch The Throne [2011]

lol @ Kanye trying to doubletime for practically the first time in his career

lol

people who act like Lex Luger is a great producer are fronting harder than people who act like Jay and Kanye are still great rappers imo

some dude acting like 'like me' or 'grove st party' are flukes is fronting harder that his initial reaction couldnt possibly be incorrect

You both are right to an extent -- lex proved himself to be more creative than maybe a lot of us thought, but ppl aren't trying to get "grove st party" beats from him. Everyone wants "bmf" and now we're on like the the 56th incarnation of that beat

there should be a poll -- in which year in the next 10 will people finally stop caring about new jay-z music?

you might as well be asking when people will stop making a big deal over shitty new U2 or Paul McCartney albums i.e. never

the second half of this sentence went off the rails somewhere, i don't even understand it

yeah poorly worded but it makes sense if u parse it -- sayin u are in denial that your initial reaction to lex being an overrated one-dimensional producer is wrong

i gues this isn't really my biznass but if there's one thing that i really admire about al it's his ability to -- seemingly -- not hold grudges & in a way evaluate songs/albums as if previous works by the artist didn't exist

jay-z sounds hilarious on his chorus!

Man. Both Nas/Lil Jon collabs that I know of are awesome.

Anyway, the beat is awesome and al is mad, Kanye sucks, the classical bits suck, Jay is ok.

"Grand Finale" for sure

Yeah, the Nas/Lil Jon songs are fantastic. "Grand Finale" is really good too.

ok i am never going to listen to this again

^better rapping, better classical, worse beats imo

urban appropriations of opera wld be such a better thred than this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7gHULq5-Qo

doooope

this is terrible

i don't think the beat on h.a.m is good at all. it's got no knock, would sound pretty unremarkable on a mixtape. kind of imagine lex luger rolling his damn eyes @ jay z and kanye wanting to make a retarded attempt at high art & probably making 100 grand or whatever ppl get paid for jay z beats for adding an opera sample to something he had prepared for a french montana mixtape cut

I just figured the opera was Kayne's meddling.

deej i am so glad u went to the mat for this incomprehensible jibber jabber never change

Don't get why you've latched on to "Grove St. Party" as a standout, maybe my least favorite song on Flockaveli.

WHAT

ok u keep bumping "bricksquad ft gudda gudda"

deej re: "Grove Street Party" is on some "milhouse is not a meme" ish

its a single w/ a video and an atypical beat for lex that showed some range so made total sense to bring up in this context u tard

and sorry no one repping for this total disaster of a track gets to make pronouncements on taste for anyone

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leftkrHJkw1qf8yek.gif its not jibber jabber hoos

al initially argued that lex was one dimensional
i think hes in denial
because its bcome evident that isnt true
& said he was fronting otherwise

Yeah I think this 'album' is gonna be terrible with like 2 or 3 ok songs and maybe 1 pretty good one.

grove st party is amazing and an easy highlight imo

hey deej

can you please post that van der beek gif again

never seen it before

let's not play armchair psychologist about whose stated opinions are honest and who's living in a funhouse mirror world of denial, okay? i mean he's got some good beats that don't sound like his 2 big hits on Flockaveli, but i don't think it's too crazy to say hey let's pump the brakes on "great producer" until he has a 3rd hit or shows some serious versatility or consistency.

if u want me to say southside on the track is a better producer i agree
but i think hes established dude has skills, he produced the bulk of flockaveli which is already being considered a classic ... if thats all he ends up doing hes carved a spot for himself

yes, that's exactly what i want you to do, i want you to say that someone i've never heard of is a better producer, you read my mind

i love that deej's posting style has just devolved typing a bunch of gibberish with someone associated with Brick Squad and then getting all defensive about it

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use Wooh Da Kid even go want to do look more like?

sorry i thought you still paid attention to new rap

i like how whiney's posting style is being the most insufferable person alive

the last 6 months on ilm have kind of been deej & whiney's own 'watch the throne'

can someone tell me why al even posts in these threads when he never listens to the music we recommend or recommends any of his own -- just plays dumb & goes 'why would i have heard of that' when we mention someone the rest of the cru has been talking about for three plus months

in case it isnt clear, i was bringing up a comparable producer from the same milieu who has produced w/ a wider range of styles

this album is sort of a brilliant move on kanye's part because its going to suck up all the backlash that would otherwise be directed towards MBDTF

ha! otm

forgot about that one, but gudda gudda actually kinda works in the context of all the anonymous guest rappers on flockaveli.

hey dudes i dedicate what little music listening time i have to the albums i'm trying to keep up with and don't have an extra hour a day to dedicate to checking out every youtube deej posts. also i turned off images on ilx a while ago because of overzealous youtube posting and having images turned off makes even clicking on the youtube links kind of a pain in the ass and requires a couple extra clicks.

also afaict Southside has been mentioned on ilx TWICE ever before this thread, and wasn't on any of the Gucci or Waka official albums with easily found production credits, but apparently somewhere everyone's been talking about him for the last 3 months and i'm a total ostrich with my head in the sand for not knowing everything about him

i dunno dude i thought 'body bag' was a pretty well known song, brick squad only has a couple name producers, & a bunch of us were talking about the production on the wooh da kid tape which is almost entirely his & iirc made our list of the best albums of 2010 so its not totally obscure or something here

careless world indeed

So are we starting a thread for the new album or what

Bought this on Amazon for $5 (luxury clearance).

This is otm:
he's much smarter than kanye... which usually wouldn't matter either which way, but w/ the type of thing they're trying to pull off here it makes a big difference

A lawyer wrote me that someone is "likely to go HAM on appeal"... I asked, What does that mean? I'm picturing Spider-Ham. He sent me a link to the "H•A•M" video.

But is he gonna go gorillas?

Better to go HAIM on appeal!

better to brougham on appeal
