Watch the Throne ??? Kanye West's album with Jay-Z ??? could be coming out next week, if West's off-the-cuff remark on New Year's Eve is true. "Watch the Throne, coming in one week!" West blurted out in the middle of his performance of "Runaway" at the Marquee nighclub in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.
You hated the book? I liked it. Much better than I expected it to be. (I'm talking more about the anecdotes and asides then the lyric deciphering.)
I'm not a fan of Dream Hampton so maybe I'm biased.....I got halfway through before I picked up The Big Payback and havn't had any desire to finish Decoded.....The anecdotes were cool but at times dude is too self-absorbed

Yeah but I can understand the criticism, and kind of share it. I mean, the book is being marketed to people who've never set foot in a housing project, so describing its benches poetically is going to tug on some heartstrings... but at the end of the day it's a project bench. And the writing isn't, you know, that nxet shit.
I can dig the book, I'll get around to it eventually (of course I got 2 copies from different people for Christmas) but it's kind of puffy (like my man from Uptown)*

He's a rapper. It comes with the territory.

Ummmmmm
Its cool but, uh, leave the south alone
I was just saying that the track sounds like it was tailor-made for T.I. & Jeezy, not Kanye & Jay-Z.
That looks like an intricately designed package of ham.
