goddamn @ Jay's ring.

that song with the Russell Crowe line sounds epic

Oozer3993 · Jul 22, 2011

According to a reliable source, the three songs heard in the documentary are Lift Off, Illest Motherfucker Alive (that's the track being played for Russell Crowe) and Love You So.

P.S. The strings on Lift Off are RIDICULOUS. I need this song.

A short documentary on the making of the album has popped up on YouTube. It includes a tiny little taste of Lift Off.

EDIT: Lift Off sounds soooooooo goooooooood.

Damn.

DominoKid · Jul 22, 2011

lol the vid already got nuked. Hit-Boy said on twitter that its a part of a larger documentary

its weird to see Beyonce basically be a background figure in a room but Jay and Kanye can do that.

Oozer3993 · Jul 22, 2011

I downloaded it before it got taken down. Link:

Good to see these tight jean rappers grow some nuts and take shots at each other.

Kanye's next album needs a Nas verse. The god killed We Major.

lift off snippet (it's low quality & only beyonce)

enzo_gt · Jul 22, 2011

WTT DOCUMENTARY? YES PLEASE.

And there better be a mirror up of that preview bit by the time I get home, I love Kanye beats that are heavy on the strings D:

You are....so based.

Thank you, sir.

This shit is starting to leak.

Someone has it.

Yeezy 2s sighting!

DominoKid · Jul 22, 2011

i hope the Yeezy 2s dont look like that lol.

Those look horrendous.

Oozer3993 · Jul 22, 2011

I stitched together a snippet of Lift Off from the two bits in the documentary.

And cut out the Illest Motherfucker Alive snippet.

MThanded · Jul 22, 2011

Has anyone posted the other snippets from the doc?

nns3d · Jul 22, 2011

Lift Off sounds soooo goooooood.

spindashing · Jul 22, 2011

I'm not feeling Otis. I'm not even that excited for the project, in all honesty.

I guess it's because I'm at a point where I can't even spin a Kanye record. Hopefully it's a temporary period. I've actually been listening to Mama's Boyfriend a lot, though.

Is it me or does Kanye have a Rick Ross flow on Illest Motherfucker Alive?

Sammy Samusu · Jul 22, 2011

Shit, I'm not ready for this.

Downgrade from Nas Flow confirmed.

Candles for ambiance, electric lights because they actually let you see what you're doing

Because that's one of the few decent Kanye songs of the past few years and Otis is aight at best. I'm with you on the low expectations; both of these dudes are sounding tired on the mic. The hyperbole (or just hype) amongst the Kanye fans is incredible, though. Makes for good reading.

Oozer3993 · Jul 23, 2011

It's up for preorder on iTunes, with the same tracklisting as the leaked production credits, and with a release date of August 8th.

Yeah. Hopefully the project blows my mind because I really haven't been taken aside by any tracks other than That's My Bitch.

I guess we'll see.

If I remember correctly, there's a Nina Simone sample somewhere in the album so I guess I'm still optimistic for that.

August 1st never got official confirmation, although some people attached to the album thought it was the date at one point.

New Day, produced by RZA, samples "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone.

enzo_gt · Jul 23, 2011

Oh my god that snippet of the documentary has me so hyped for WTT.

Ashhong · Jul 23, 2011

Love You So sounds fantastic

nib95 · Jul 23, 2011

Awesome documentary. Any youtube link yet?

wenis · Jul 23, 2011

This is currently up on the WatchTheThrone site:

This album will be released on August 2, 2011. Orders containing it will be shipped on or around July 29, 2011. Select Express Shipping for release date delivery.

10 Album Tracks
4 Bonus Songs

Pre-Orders are shut down and those that did looks like they'll get their albums in a week or so then the rest of the world waits till a week after for iTunes and all that (not sure if this affects store sales).

kamspy · Jul 23, 2011

I won't really need to case until Ferrari Boyz comes out, so it's not a big deal.

One garbage album being used as a case for another garbage album? Sounds fitting.

"Illest Motherfucker Alive" sounds hot. as. fuck.

H.A.M grew on me. Otis grew on me. That's my Bitch is guaranteed to be some hot shit... My hype is coming back.

wenis · Jul 25, 2011

This was posted back on the 22nd and no one noticed (at least here)

@DefGab
THEE bitch
Watch the throne fans. There will be an announcement made on monday - as to when the album is coming out! Almost there!

I was hesitant because I'm not sure how much she actually knows. She's claimed it's coming before. From July 5th:

Guys - we will announce the date for the "watch the throne" release hopefully by the end of this week. COMING SOON!

But a Def Jam exec (Akon's brother to be specific) backed her up today:

bukonvict said:
RTrolaalv: @bukonvict Ssup Bu how are you? WTT release date announcement on Monday?" < Yep stay Tuned!!!

P.S. Fun fact, Otis is up for purchase on iTunes and it's a slightly different version than the one from LifeandTimes. It includes a new 808.

wenis · Jul 25, 2011

I guess I'm taking the bullet then if nothing happens tomorrow
