Jul 1, 2022Watch the Throne is more notable for its general lack of impact. Neither as compulsively neurotic as Eminem, as languidly characterful as Snoop Dogg, nor as furiously articulate as Nas, the raps here represent a pretty mediocre, cardboard kind of throne, truth be told

Feb 3, 2012This was basically's Kanye's Album because Kanye West had the greatest lyrics and he **** on Jay-Z. Jay-Z got killed on his own song on Renegade, But Jay got killed on his own Album I Give this album a 8 only because of kanye's lyrics

Feb 20, 2012It nearly strikes where it should but this collaboration album does not take off far enough from ground covered by both artists to be considered anything more than an experiment. Sure there are standout tracks a plenty, but there is also a large amount of filler that renders this as more of a great B-Side compilation than anything else...

Aug 25, 2011One of the years best album. Jay Z and Kanye made an outstanding album. All songs on the album hS A GOOD beat and the lyrics to the songs are very good. Kanye made a another hit album in less than twelve months.

Dec 20, 2015Watch the throne is the best album 2011. **** in Paris', 'Otis', 'Who gon stop me', 'Gotta have it', 'That's my **** and 'Primetime' are my favourite tracks.

Oct 27, 2011Nice collaboration between Jay-Z and Kanye West. They need to do it again. Music production. All the tracks in this album, including the bonus tracks, go well with the album title. And of course, it when number 1. I'm a big fan of both men.

Mar 25, 2022feels like the rap version of fall out boy's american beauty/american psycho: amazing music connected by mediocre filler

May 9, 2022Not much to say about it, one of my favorite collaboration albums ever. No church in the wild, Otis, Two dudes in Paris, Murder to Excellence, and gotta have it are all great tracks. Welcome to the jungle is a total miss though just skip that one.

Sep 13, 2020This album just doesn't deliver to the promise of the singles. Not even Jay Z can save a Kanye project.
-
Feb 8, 2012While this is not my favorite album of 2011, this has got to be the most important album of 2011. Any album with Jay-z and Kanye will just be historic. And we got Otis and Ni**as In Paris out of it! The rest is pretty damn good too.

Nov 19, 2020Generic music, nothing special, typical Kanye egomania top to bottom, not worth the time.

Dec 25, 2020Very good album. Some tracks are better than others. Favourite track is “n****s in Paris”.
-
Oct 23, 2020The album brings nothing special, just another attempt to say something original without the power to follow through with it.
-
Jul 28, 2020Really bad result from this collaboration, Kanye is bringing the entire result down.
-
Oct 2, 2022this had the potential to be a near-perfect album and even though it is a great album with many great songs like dudes in Paris, Otis, no church in the wild & ham but I feel they didn't use all the power they had between both of them and were kinda sloppy with their work here
-
Oct 2, 2020Unoriginal work, it feels like Kanye was trying to hard but the results did not pay out.

Aug 23, 2011Not fantastic like Ye's last album, but still a solid piece of work. Maybe the hype was so big, and the actual product just didn't live up to it this time. It's still going to be one of the best of the year in hip hop this year, but it's been a down year I think.

MagnetNov 11, 2011They turn out to be pretty good influences on one another. Jay sounds generally reinvigorated: good-humored, full of nimble, intricate wit and atypically emotionally revealing, and if Kanye's rhymes occasionally remain as clumsy and crass as his personal life choices, he drops far fewer boners than usual.

Q MagazineSep 21, 2011Hip hop heavy weights stop squabbling for long enough to justify their star billing. [Oct 2011, p.116]

Sep 12, 2011That Jay and 'Ye have the courtesy to stop rapping about their money and start attacking real issues--black-on-black crime in "Murder to Excellence," raising children on "New Day"--is icing on a very expensive cake.
