The anticipation for Jay-Z and Kanye West's joint album Watch the Throne coupled with the lack of information surrounding the project has created the perfect storm for rumors.

Earlier this month, The Source magazine reported that the album would be dropping July 4. With Independence Day coming in less than a week, those chances are looking as slim as the girl in Calvin Klein pants is. But on Wednesday's (June 29) episode of "Rap Fix Live," G.O.O.D. Music artist CyHi the Prynce did give fans a bit of hope.

"They are ready to go. Right now, all the music and everything is done," CyHi told Sway. "But you know my guy — we over here with [Kanye], so 'Ye is gonna add his last little pizzazz, and it's going to be ready for you guys soon."

On Tuesday, the Fourth of July speculation continued to swirl as AllHipHop.com ran a rumor report that said that the album will come Monday as a digital-only release to avoid leaks. CyHi would neither confirm nor deny that report, saying he wasn't privy to that information.

"I don't know the business of the logistics of it," he said, dodging the question with a veteran's poise. "Those are the bosses. You never know what they gonna do and how they gonna put it out. They might put it out yesterday.

"I don't know. 'Ye can do something, and he can just do it how he wanna do it," CyHi continued. "He can just put it out tomorrow if he wanted to, and that's what 'Ye want to do."

Until then, we'll continue to watch.

@N_C_B[font=Georgia, Palatino, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Jay and Ye came together and organically recorded a gang of songs that sound different from their solo material and that chemistry is special[/font][font=Georgia, Palatino, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]
[/font][font=Georgia, Palatino, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]
[/font]

They made a Real rap album that has a weird, but cool experimental edge. Which sounds like MBDTF, but it's not like that at all, really.




Jay-Z has one number based rhyme over a NoID beat that will make your head explode. And you might kill yourself if you're a rapper.




The album is challenging and definitely not made with pop ears in mind.

There is a weight to the LP, lyrically. Many songs with overt political/social themes and very few light or "fun" songs. And no "club" stuff[font=Georgia, Palatino, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]
[/font][font=Georgia, Palatino, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]
[/font]

@N_C_B
There are no other rappers. And they recorded every song together, in the same room. No emailed Pro-Tools sessions.[font='Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif]

Also:

Some other notes:

Played random parts of throw away tracks not making the album

- Time of our life baby" - Jay
- "I need a slow motion video right now" - Ye

Then there was the question and answering session:

- "I just wanted to make an album for the sake of making a good album"
- The current version of WTT is the third incarnation of the album
- The album's current tracklist has been stripped down from alot of different tracks...
- Still not sure on a final tracklist
- He's going back and forth on including HAM as a bonus track... he admits that HAM is operatic, but almost too much to the point where the song is screaming in your face... can get irritation after awhile... doesn't really fit the vibe of WTT in it's current state...
- Admits that HAM is AWESOME in concert tough
- They documented parts of the recording process, but their not sure if it will be released or not

- I asked a question about working with Frank Ocean and if that connection started before or after Odd Future's rise to fame. He started working with him when he heard Nostalgia Ultra. Initially it was only for his solo album, but he like Frank so much he got him on WTT... he is featured on one of two tracks recorded so far for Jay's upcoming solo album... hopefully out this winter... maybe spring

- "Hopefully my new solo album is out before J. Cole and Jay Electronica" - Jay ...
roll.gif



- JAY HAS NO URGE TO DO ANY MORE COLLABORATIVE ALBUMS (no more BS albums with someone like Linkin Park or R. Kelly)

- Kanye initially urged Jay not to release "Run this Town" as a single first, and push "New York" because he though it would be a better single... Jay used this as an example to say even if Kanye's a **** he's really humble at the same time... he killed his verse on "Run this Town" and he still didn't want it released as a single...

Jay-Z has one number based rhyme over a NoID beat that will make your head explode. And you might kill yourself if you're a rapper.
