As we told you last week, the official release date of the Watch The Throne collaboration LP by Kanye West and Jay Z might be pushed back. Today it was announced the set will be released on August 8 on iTunes, instead of August 2nd. It now makes sense that the super secret listening party for ‘The Throne’ will be held on August 1st at an undisclosed location.
Of course, yours truly was invited to attend the private listening session by our friends at Def Jam. We were assured that both Hip Hop Kings, Kanye West and Jay Z, would be in attendance (we really want to meet Kanye!).
When we asked (twice) if any other bloggers would be attending the private listening session, we received no response. So it is assumed that other bloggers are invited, and they just don’t want to reveal who. (Not that it matters.)
In addition to the release date, a tour was also announced to support the much-anticipated project, which Def Jam execs are already calling a classic. The 21-city ‘Throne Tour’ kicks off in Detroit, Michigan on September 22, 2011, with a stop in Atlanta on October 9 at the Philips Arena.
Watch The Throne is available for pre-order at Watchthethrone.com.

I love Jay and Ye so I will be at that Dallas show. One of the few east coast artists i will listen to. I perfer my rap southern like me
I will be at the Detroit show!
Matter fact I wonder if they’ll even go to any of the radio stations to do an interview?
That’s a lot of tour dates. Can Kryne stay civil, and not throw a tantrum for that long?
I don’t think Jay has done radio any of the times he was in Dallas. I’ve seen him a few times but this will be my first time seeing Ye
*Whispers*
MrsLoveleigh…is that Kim Porter’s daddy in your gravi? Cause we always said she look just like the man who play the bass in the kona of the stage for the past 30 years for Earth Wind and Fiyah…Mr. White…
I wanna see them when they come to the Chi…. I gotta talk to the hubby about this….
that Beyonce makes an appearance….
I like JayZ and Kanye but I’m not interested in hearing brag about their grandiose lifestyle, I hope that do more than tease us about their icecream (Eddie Murphy).
i don’t really care but my bf loves kanye so i might be forced to go, especially since they have a stop in dc and not nyc

WHERE THE FUGG IS MAN?
got a feeling this will sound like all the other mess out here
Tatted says: WHERE THE FUGG IS MAN?
I know huh>>I’m worried Auntie put him out
I’m not waiting on this but hey
Hmmm I hope Jay-Z and Kanye doesn’t fall out like Jay-Z did with R.Kelly…..
What really happened with that anyways?
@ Tatted is that MAC eyeshadow in your gravi> I finally bought me a MAC compact after wanting to for years and I lost it not even 2 weeks later! Talking pissed!!! I haven’t been able to bring myself to buy a new one. But with my summer tan i hardly need make-up. Winter i will have one
who cares
I’m looking forward to this album……not so much any of the concert dates…more of a fan of the music then there stage performances…even though Kayne has produced some of my favs….
@Fox-E i hate all that drama happend with Jay and Kellz cause I loved that cd

I LOVE MAC…see my gravi….
@ Loveleigh….I HOPE SHE DIDN’T PUT HIM OUT! THAT WOULD BE A TRAVESTY!
It’s BH cosmetics. You may wanna give them a try BEFORE you go back to MAC! I use to wear MAC eyeshadow but after I was turned on to this, I have bought anymore. I do however still rock the lip glass, mineral powder, etc. etc. Go to BH cosmetic (dot) com. They are the TRUTH!

Is anyone going to see “The Help” w/ Viola Davis?
~~~~~~~
I am. Can’t wait. I didn’t read the book, nor did I know anything about it until this movie.
@GaGirl, going to see it! The book was AMAZING!!
What ACE said.
Hey stranger!
Fck R. Kelly. Sorry. I have to say that every time I see his name.
No St. Louis date, guess I’ll b going to Chi
@ FoxE
Kellz showed his azz on that tour, I went to the Mem show he was late, when he got 2 St. Louis he jumped off the stage saying the lighting guy was threatening him,, after that I think Jay continued & had others fill in, J sd RK was unprofessional & was making them both look bad

Same thing happen with Jay and Kells…
But the difference is Kells wasnt finna ride Jay’s dikk like Kanye will do…
Kells felt like he was the bigger star at the time….and at the time he was…
So did Man get banned
i don’t think so, he said he was in court otherwise he would have defended his lady’s honor
CHIBY!!
I spoke to you in the otha post. I heard El was bout ready to rub one out on stage.
@Chi, I remember all that drama, and afterwards Jay ran his azz up to Hot 97 tellin Angie’s dack riding azz about it, claiming he wasn’t a catty dude.
#boybye

@CANDI
So what did they finally get him on? Is Chris Hansen back to catching predators?
@Chi, I remember all that drama, and afterwards Jay ran his azz up to Hot 97 tellin Angie’s dack riding azz about it, claiming he wasn’t a catty dude.

Jay-z got Kells beat-up backstage and everything…

I already saw it. There was a screening here in Indy last Monday. It was sad, but it was funny at times. This maid did some chit that had everybody rolling. I would recommend it. It keep forgetting that, that was right around the corner. Growing up in the 80’s I’m glad I didn’t have to encounter anything of that nature.
Thickness!!!!!!

Why thank ya!
Anita is the ultimate.
Loves her! She alone makes me proud of what Detroit once was musically during the late 80’s and 90’s.
And WHHHYYYY can I see Viola scrubbin’ and cookin’, sweatin’ and greasy, googly eyeing those women with disgust already? She was a good fit for that roll.
Curls looking like they’ve been all rolled up tight with Blue Magic and sponge rollers.
@ Bigbadwolf daymn GA always late wit chit

@GAGIRL87, my birthday is also August 10th, and I was born in 78, and I’m assuming your “87” in your name stands for the year you were born. How ironic, 8/10/87 and 8/10/78
Leo’s run things!! Hope you enjoy your birthday next month!
@mirs not a thing….sleepy as hellllll
@ SINcereDom22 that is very ironic Leo’s MOST definatley runs things at least we think we do

Thank you for the birthday wishes as well, I’ll be in PR this year for my bday, not officially on our day, but the week before, so I plan on living it up! And We’re probably night and day lol but I definitely hold it down, I don’t think we play for the same team, nonetheless, what does that have to do with the price of tea in China, right? I’m still fly
lol
