WATCH THE THRONE

I been in the studio with @howuseeit and @bryan_m_cox all week and I can honestly tell you the conversations we have to get to the creative places we go, are like no other,Someone on instagram questioned why i put #watchthethrone and its basically like this.

“It’s just protecting the music and the culture. It’s people that’s in the forefront of the music. Watch the Throne, you protect it. You just watch how popular music shift, and just how Hip Hop basically replaced rock and roll as the youth music. The same thing can happen to Hip Hop. It can be replaced by other forms of music. So we making sure that we put the effort into making the best product so we can contend with all this other music, with all the dance music that’s dominating the charts right now and indie Music that’s dominating the festivals.” – JAY-Z

  1. Can’t wait for NEW USHER!!!!!!!!

  2. we gon see what ya’ll come up with i hope it ain’t garbage let me take that back u never drop nothing garbage

  3. Heres my story sorry I went on a rant i have insomnia

    Jd im happy you trying to do it big.you slay when you can. WTF IS JAY Z DOING….JAYZ SHOULD BE QUOTING YOU. He aint slaying shit….When the last time he had a real hit, or hit album. and lets be real…..He aint doing Taylor swift….THAT SHOULD BE HER QUOTE NOT HIS…. HE is all talk…The last time I liked jay z was Big pimpin. WE BELONG TOGETHER SLAYED HIS ENTIRE CARRER

    Now on to the young culture……Let me spell it out for you…..This is the new youth culture……Music that is download only…and im meanin illegally…which is most of hiphop…..
    Then theres the musc that we download that we enjoy then BUY THE ALBUM….Then theres people like taylor swift and Adele that have proven themselves and then there album sales show it. Yea u might do a justin…And some how do a Lil wayne.

    But the adverage youth dont give a fuck about hiphop…Oh yea we jam to it…BUT IT AINT GETTIN OUR MONEY…Well mabey dat $1.29. IF YOU LUCKY…And radio? What a joke. Rihanna slays with her radio hits….WHO THE F*** is buying her stuff just barely over a million in the US..BUT shes getting them number ones. Lets be honest 1 of mariahs number ones equals rihiannas 3 or 4. I do love her music at times but lets just be honest.

    Hip hop replaced youth music? Thats Laughable How hiphop replace it? Those album sales are weak as **** …. hiphop sales singles on itunes….and big album sales are few and far between.

    …There isa youth culture that loves hiphop becuase we love to get F**** up….From what i gather. The young generation doesnt buy albums but singles….The younger generation dosnt give a flying F*** abotu a musical throne. They are finicky…………..In there ear one minute NEXT WEEK ITS IN THE TRASH . I know cuz thats how ive been treating hiphop and pop. They may be listenin to all that music BUT THEY AINT BUYING IT…..It was ADULTS that allowed Adele to reach Nearly 30 million album sales for 21. ALso MARIAH CAREY has proven what it takes to get young people to buy music.

    SHe probably had the most diverse fan base EVER. Taylor swift and adele are the ones slaying IN ALBUM sales which is what really matters. JayZ bragging bout watch the throne…….HES THE FUCKING JESTER comapred to whos acually Doing something.. How you gunna have an album be the best selling album of that year THEN AGAIN BE A YEAR OLD ALBUM AND BE THE BEST SELLING ALBUM ANOTHER YEAR…SHE PULLED AN MJ….THATS THE MUSIC PEOPLE REALLY WANNA HEAR… becuase they are buying it.

    Yall think you know what the younger generation wants so u spam the airwaves with party music that basically is good for nothing other then drinkin and smoking weed ..And clubbin…THERE IS NO THRONE IN HIPHOP….WE LOVE TO LISTEN…BUT WE SURE THE F*** AINT BUYING IT

    The real throne in music IS WHAT Adele has been realsin….HOw JayZ gunna call it a throne…WHEN wwe will youtube it becuase were bored and thats it. These singers and rappers have become an image…There talent is irrelevent becuase people dont like them for there talent they like them and listen to there music becuase cultur says hes cool and Own s some kinda throne. My spelling is horrible lol.. Anyways Im always am exicted about what you do JD. But i do not like JAY z’s quote. You are not delusinal. like some of these OVERLY SUCCESFUL Entertainers.. Music is entertainment that can inspire, bring joy, help through hard times.. But these rappers Are really doing nothing positve.

    They are puffed up. Its music…ITS NOT DEEPER THAN THAT. There album was called watch the throne. Becuase they were saying watch how we do it. I done heard one song………WACK…..Then singing about holy grail on Justin timberlakes song….Why they speakin about anything holy in a song like that……

    God truly blesses those that share what GOD WOULD share with us…THUS ….with proof…..WE BELONG TOGETHER SLAYING……There are some who slip through the cracks looking blessed when really they are F****** DELUSINAL

    Oh and one more thing…If hip hop had a throne….The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill would be sitting in it…..While these wack ass rappers would be its servent…..This album is PROOF WHAT TRU HIPHOP is suppose to do

    Ok im done.
