Watch the Throne Track by Track by review

Watch the Throne



No Church in the Wild- The album starts off with this dark track. The beat is fire, and the Frank Ocean chorus is hot. The song asks human beings to a mob, what’s a mob to a king, whats a king to a god….and what’s a god to a nonbeliever? After the track you hear this interlude beat that’s pretty laid back. 9/10



Lift Off- Lift Off is a good song, but you can’t help but get the feeling it could have been better. The Beyonce hook is good, but Kanye just sings on it, and Jay’s verse doesn’t really say anything. The beat saves this song and keeps it above average. 8/10




N**gas in Paris- A really addictive song. The title is lame but the song is anything but. Jay and Kanye spit fire. The beat has a mysterious glossy sound to it. The chrorus is really hot too. 9.5/10



Otis- One of the best songs on the album. Otis has a fun sample and its well used. 9.5/10



Gotta Have It- A simple song, but really catchy. Jay and Kanye trade versus quickly. The Throne has delivered so far. 8.5/10



New Day- On this song Kanye and Jay rap to their unborn children. Kanye goes first and raps, “I’ll never let him have an ego”. Jay’s verse is also good. The song has a really cool sample. The chorus just seems to flow rather effortlessly. 9/10



That’s My B**ch- A great party song. The chorus is awesome. I feel this song leans more towards Kanye than a married man like Jay-z. 9/10



Welcome to the Jungle- A swizz beats produced song. The chorus is kinda weak, but the strong verses make up for that. The beat is kind of tense as well. I like how you get to hear the interlude beat again. 8.5/10



Who Gon Stop Me- This is the 2nd best if not best song on the album. Kanye is fierce, and Jay-z holds his own as well. Luxury rap at its finest. The beat aint bad either. 9.5/10



Murder to Excellence- This is a great song. It talks about Black on Black crime. The chorus is hot, and the beat is nice. The song’s beat changes up near the end. 10/10



Made in America- The album’s weakest track isn’t that bad. The chorus is kinda wack, but the beat is cool. This song really grew on me. 7.5/10



Why I Love You- The Finale is dope. Mr. Hudson stops by for the chorus. The song talks about the fall of The Throne….The beat isn’t all that but the lyrics make up for that. 9/10

I give this album 9.25/10

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
