As if Jay-Z and Kanye West weren’t already at the top of their “games,” the incredibly rich rappers have announced that they are collaborating, they love each other, and that they want to make some more money by forming a group together. The two musicians and long-time best buddies decided over the weekend that they have massive dicks and are obviously The Kings of Everything, and so people better start recognizing that by referring to them (Jay-Z/West) by the kingly and super-egotistical title of The Throne.
The Throne have a new album, titled Watch the Throne (a.k.a. Watch Us), set for iTunes release on August 8 and physical release on August 12 through Roc-A-Fella, Def Jam, and Roc Nation. The Throne will also be heading out on a month-long tour to get their royal rings kissed by an adoring public happy to spend their money on reliable brand names. Speaking of which, the new album features production from The RZA, The Neptunes, and Mike Dean, and has appearances by Beyoncé (duh), Frank Ocean, Curtis Mayfield, and Mr. Hudson.
If you like spending your money on musician-millionaires (while many exciting musical acts go bankrupt and band members give up their dreams so they can pay the bills) then check out the tracklist and concert dates below!
