[Music Video] Otis (Watch the Throne)

If you missed the premiere a few minutes ago on EVERY MTV network, here it is!  #WatchTheThrone

Now Listening to: Watch The Throne

This is listen one of Watch the Throne.  This is one of those albums where I have to listen to it at least 5 times before I can really comment. There are some standouts but I have to do another listen to focus more on the lyrics. This go round was mostly about the sound for me.

I definitely commend them on preventing leaks until the album drop.  The digital first, then physical method will probably be utilized by other big names because of Watch The Throne's album.  Buy it on iTunes people!!! (or catch a leak)

Watch the Throne: Trailers

Watch the Throne drops tonight at midnight, and over the past 2 days the dynamic duo known now as The Throne have released two trailers promoting the album.



It looks like that was taken from the SXSW performance of H.A.M. Watch it here!

Watch the Throne Edition (Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 4)

WATCH THE THRONE!!!!!!

Since Watch The Throne will be released online in a few days on August 8 and in stores on August 12, I have to dedicate Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 4 to this momentous occasion in hip hop.  No matter how you feel about either Jay-Z or Kanye, I'm pretty sure you're going to listen to Watch the Throne when it drops.  It's been the most anticipated collaboration album of the year.  

This mix is an hour long journey through their collabos, features, and solo classics.  Showcasing Hov and Ye from Reasonable Doubt/The College Dropout to the present, you're in for a mix that, at times, will have you sitting in deep thought, reciting lyrics, and slappin' snapbacks off. 

Listen/DL below and hit the jump for a full tracklisting. It's only an hour so maybe I'll do a Part 2 when Watch the Throne goes platinum or something.

Tonight At Midnight!!! Watch the Throne Radio

Gangstas, have I got a treat for you. GUE Radio is coming correct in time for Watch the Throne.  In honor of the album dropping in less than a week (August 8), I put together an hour long mix of some of my favorite Hov & 'Ye collabos, solo tracks, and features. I put a lot of time in it, and I hope you'll love it.

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 4: Watch the Throne Edition drops tonight at midnight.

Jay-Z Surprise Interview with Hot 97

I was checking out Miss Info's blog today and saw that Jay-Z surprised Angie Martinez and Hot 97 to give an interview.  They discussed a lot of interesting topics like rumors that he and Kanye fought during recording Watch The Throne, the stages that the two went through while making the album, and Jay-Z's feelings on Beanie Sigel.

Listen to the audio of the interview here at Miss Info.

New Music: Frank Ocean: Thinkin' Bout You

New music from OFWGKTA crooner Frank Ocean.  In my eyes, he can do no wrong after Nostalgia/ultra, which I haven't stopped listening to for months.  Nice to hear Frank's range on this track, and I hope some more music leaks.  

Rumor has it, Frank Ocean will be opening for the Watch the Throne tour this fall. I'm crossing my fingers.

Listen to/DL "Thinkin' Bout You" below:

Hit the jump to download his Nostalgia/ultra and to see his music video for his hit single "Novacane."

Watch the Throne: Tour

I know I've been all on Watch the Throne's...*ahem*...throne lately, but every new move that Jay and Yeezy make regarding this album is newsworthy.

Watch The Throne: Tracklisting

After months of mystery and speculation, Jay-Z and Yeezy have finally given us a release date for Watch the Throne (August 2). Now, we believe we have the official tracklisting. After poor radio reception, it looks like H.A.M. is still on this list; thankfully, it's only a bonus. More good news: Frank Ocean is featured TWICE.  From the reviews from those invited to Jay-Z's private listening sessions, it lives up the expectations, and I personally can't wait. I'm thinking a Watch the Throne edition of Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio. What do you think?
