Watch the Throne is shaping up to be one of the most epic releases in the last few years. The idea that Jay-Z(the greatest rapper of all time, yeah I said it) and Kanye(who is one of the greatest artists ever) made an album together is something amazing all together. Another interesting thing about this is they actually made this album together. That is something to not be thrown aside in these times of emailed in lines and beats. Watch the Throne seems to have that old fashion work ethic. The most talked about thing concerning this album is the fact that it has leaked yet. As of now it is Thursday Aug. 4(Pres. Obama's 50th bday and Splifted Research's 3rd birthday) and the album has not leaked. As a person who has downloaded music since he was younger(illegally) I am surprised. Usually an album will leak within in 1-2 weeks before the album release. Jay-Z's management has also said the album "won't leak". To be able to say that in 2011 is Amazing and something to not be understated. The Throne(Jay-Z & Kanye) has also decided to release their album digitally first on iTunes then retail stores a couple of days later. This has caused a stir with alot of stores but will ultimately not hurt the sales of the album. With all these factors it is clear that The Throne is about to change Rap and maybe music all together. When the album comes out I'll put up a review. But until then....Peace
