'what are you currently listening to' Part 2 (39 Viewers)
- Thread starter Sheik Yerbouti
- Start date
No Church In The Wild: No Church In Awhile? *waiting for more Jay-Z/Kanye subliminal youtube videos.
Lift Off: I love the outro, but the rest of the song sucks and should've been on Beyonce album. Kanye singing, auto-tune, Jay-Z rapping like Soulja Boy..
Niggas in Paris: I like the beat and the hard kick, but Kanye and Jay didn't kill it.
Otis: Kanye sampling Otis, can't go wrong for me.
Gotta Have It: James Brown got what you need right here.
New Day: Expected more from RZA & Kanye together on the beat, but not bad.
That's My Bitch: Another James Brown sample and "Apache" is a classic break beat, but not feeling this one.
Welcome to the Jungle: Old skool Swizz beatz, I like.
Who Gon Stop Me: Sounds UK influenced with dubstep.
Murder to Excellence: the beat is okay, the "Murder" part sounded a bit like "Power".
Made in America: Frank Ocean steals the show on this one, congrats to them for making it in America..
Why I Love You: Jay-Z taking shots at Beanie Sigel. I love the Cassius sample and the hook, one of my favorite tracks on the album.
Bonus tracks: Out of the 4 tracks, I like "Primetime" and "The Joy" the most.
Overall the album isn't bad, with Kanye and friends you can usually expect hard beats, but Watch The Throne also doesn't sound like a classic to me. It's more Blueprint 3 than My Dark Twisted Fantasy for me, but because I'm in a good mood I'll give it a 7/10.
