Kanye West and Jay-Z first collaborated on Jay-Z's 2001 classic album 'The Blueprint'. Since then they have recorded multiple songs together, either Kanye producing for Jay-Z, Jay appearing on a Kanye song or vice-versa. They have worked together so many times that you could create an albums worth of material prior to 'Watch the Throne' even being released.
As they have worked for years as friends and collaborators there is an undeniable chemistry between them, for proof of this look no further than the albums first single 'Otis'. The Otis Redding sampled 'Otis' has got some of the best braggadocios rapping that you will ever hear over a sick Kanye production. 'That's my bitch' which is produced by Q-Tip and Kanye is a standout and so is 'Gotta have it' which is produced by the Neptunes.
Although both artists have produced superior music separately 'Watch the throne' is a welcome addition to both discography's.
Until tomorrow.....
