Watch the Throne

Jay-Z and Kanye West

And update number 2 this week is not only a lot different than my first update, but it is different than the other music I have discussed thus far.  This week, I have really been getting into Jay-Z and Kanye West's new album entitled Watch the Throne.  I think that they are both two talented artists, of course they are both talented in different ways, in my opinion.  The collaboration on the album seems to really grab the attention and keep you wanting more, or at least that's what it did for me.  It seemed like every song on the album, although they had they similarities, were very differing as well.  This made it easy to listen to the CD on repeat. More than once.

It's hard to pick just a few songs to share with you, but I'll try and choose the one's I think would sound the best on a daily playlist.  The duo seems to intertwine their rap/"singing" skills with a combo of dub-step, instrumentals, and various other artists, but I don't think much of it is overdone.  It's something different this year, and it's something I'm really digging.  Throw this album onto a workout playlist for an extra boost of confidence.

 Gotta Have It
No Church In the Wild (probably my favorite song on the album as of right now!)
