It might seem premature to ask, but you cannot front like you weren't up at midnight this past Sunday/Monday waiting on the release of Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne . Hell, if that wasn't the case, then you can't front like you weren't looking all over the web Monday morning for a link. It's OK, we won't judge. And we won't act like y'all probably haven't heard the album at least five times by now. As such, we felt it was necessary to ask our Facebook fans [...]
![Jay-Z & Kanye West – Otis [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3644531_lg.jpg)
In the just-released video for Otis, Jay-Z and Kanye West take a chainsaw to an expensive Maybach car and transform it into a tricked-out convertible, all with a big American flag in the backdrop. Four models squeeze into the back and they race around the lot, sparks flying, in the video directed by Spike Jonze. Watch for a cameo from actor Aziz Ansari. Otis, the lead track from Watch the Throne, (No. 1 in iTunes in 23 countries) is built on a sample of Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding. And if you [...]
Less than two minutes into Watch the Throne , Jay-Z has already namedropped God, priests, kings, Plato and Socrates, and put himself and Kanye on a par with Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Put the two biggest hip-hop egos in a room together and it’s never going to be about the simple things in life. A hint – the record was hatched at the tail-end of last year, after Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 made him another few squillion and critics lost the plot over My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy – Kanye’s Technicolor prog-rap masterpiece that topped [...]
One of the biggest reactions from last night's premiere of Kanye & Jay's "Otis" video would have to be "they f*cking cut up a Maybach," perhaps a symbol of the seemingly gratuitous nature for which Watch The Throne has been criticized. Alas, The Throne prove themselves to be wiser than us, their subjects, as the dismantled vehicle will now be auctioned off to benefit efforts to feed starving children and families in the Horn of Africa. While I highly doubt the car will fetch the $280K sticker price, the auction should [...]
I suppose you could call me a naysayer... When I heard that Kanye West and Jay-Z, I was a little hesitant. How could two of the loudest and greatest come together to form one group. It was like the Miami Heat all over again. In some ways it really is though, (although there's no side crying about the collaboration like there was about LeBron) mostly just the good reasons though. I have to be

Jay-Z & Kanye West have dropped their first official video for their recently released collaboration album Watch The Throne .
The best part about the Spike Jonze-directed first video for Hova and Yeezy's first single off Watch the Throne is the inclusion of Aziz Ansari, aka Tom Haverford. [via mtv ] Tweet
Jay-Z and Kanye West have unleashed the video for “Otis” and like the song, there is plenty of bravado going around. I did enjoy the fact, that I have never seen Hova and Ye, this lighthearted ever before. They seem like they are genuinely having fun, blowing up cars, rapping in front of flames, hanging with models, and well each other. Be on the lookout, for a hillarious 3 second cameo from Aziz Ansari. Anyway someone can get me a spot in that doorless vehicle? Jay-Z and Kanye West [...]
The kings of hip hop Kanye and Jay Z, destroy a half a million dollar car in their new music video. I think the budget for this video alone crushs all other hip hop videos out there...
Directed by Spike Jonez and features a cameo appearance by Aziz Ansari.
The best thing about this video? It's not the chopped up Maybach. It's not Kanye's undeniably devine swag. It's not the iconic shots of them in front of the American flag either. Ladies and gentleman, the award goes to the random as hell Aziz Ansari cameo. Side note: love the new YouTube player, it goes well with The Quiet Floor color scheme!
Here's the first music video from Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne album.
Veja o video de Otis , primeiro single do álbum Watch The Throne , do Kanye West e Jay-Z . Com o lançamento do álbum nesse semana, não poderia faltar um video clipe para coroar a maior empreitada do ano. Otis é dirigido pelo conceituado diretor Spike Jonze , que recentemente dirigiu outro grande clipe (o do Beastie Boys, Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win ) e mostra a dupla em ação.
Two big time rap collaboration videos in one evening? I can dig it. This video is so badass, I don't care what you say. Watch The Throne is available in physical form tomorrow! Hit the skip to peep the video. Get More: JAY Z and Kanye West , Music , More Music Videos
Since exploding at midnight on Monday, Watch the Throne has been Hip-Hop's sole topic of conversation and now Jay-Z and Kanye add more fuel to the fire with the visuals to "Otis," directed by Spike Jonze. The lavish sounding, money-flaunting track is a pretty spot-on representation of the album. I can practically see them both throwing stacks of C-notes into a blender and making a smoothie out of them, à la South Park . In the last four days, just about everybody with a modem has expressed some sort of judgment on [...]
Deze week kwam op iTunes het nieuwe album Watch The Throne uit. Een samenwerking tussen rapgrootheden Kanye West en Jay-Z. De namen alleen al zijn reden genoeg om uit te kijken naar het album, en ik moet zeggen, het valt me niet tegen. De beats die gebruikt worden zijn uitstekend geproduceerd, zoals je van de heren mag verwachten. Hier en daar wordt er wat gerecycled (zoals in Why I Love You, die vrijwel helemaal op Cassius' I Love You So is gebouwd (die weer op Patti Richardsons I Feel A Song In My Heart is gebouwd, die [...]
![[REVIEW] Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3641860_lg.jpg)
This year's super album is out, and it's polarizing as fuck. As I've been doing my daily roaming of the interwebs since the release, I've heard plenty of sexy, "this album is like titty fucking Pamela Anderson in her prime" reviews, while also coming across many that feel 'The Throne' shit bed on this one. I really feel no need to take any particular stance or slander the album in order to be 'that guy' who has to buck the trend. What I'm going to give is an opinion coming from someone that admits to being a strong supporter of [...]
