Watch The Throne

MTV Review

The link above will take you to the MTV review of the anticipated album from Jay and Kanye.  I have listened to the album for about a day now and so far my take on it is that it is a good album, but I won't necessarily call it an all-time great album that it was billed as.  I would say the album is worth the purchase though.  So far my favorite tracks off the album are Why I Love You So, Who Gon Stop Me, N****s In Paris, and New Day. (No particular order)  I would definitely say a top 3 album this year if not the best album this year.
