Yeezi and Hov’s Watch The Throne tour has been hitting every major city in the U.S. and Canada over the past couple months. Since SLR’s are banned from these shows there hasn’t been any quality footage of the tour, until now. Montreality managed to get a couple SLR’s into the Montreal stop, and grabbed some dope footage, in Full HD. Peep it.
O-M-G. This video is incredibly dope. I knew I had to expect some insanity, but they REALLY chopped up a 57 and made it a Bat-Mobile for bad bitches! I really don’t have any other words after consuming OD amounts of swag.

First single off of thier collaboration album, Watch the Throne. Produced by Lex Luger.
Eh. Kanye should go back to producing his own shit (as well as go back and write some better lyrics), and Lex should stick with his Gucci/Flacka tracks. Lyrics were kinda weak too. I’m gonna let this slide, and hope their next drop will surpass this.
Missed out on posting a bunch of music this week. Here’s some this weeks drops which I thought were worth hearing
Big Sean - The Big Nut Bust (Prod. Travis Barker & The Monsters)
This is a fresh B-I-G track off Travis Barker’s upcoming mixtape Let The Drummer Get Wicked v.1 which is hosted by Whoo Kid (if you couldn’t tell by his signature drops). All the songs (including this one) revolve around Barker’s drumming.
Chris Brown - Shit God Damn (Feat. Big Sean)
The only song worth listening to (because of Big Sean) off of Chris Brown’s failure of a mixtape, which he came out a couple days back.
A sick ass track off of Big L’s second posthumous (since he passed away) LP entitled Return of the Devil’s Son which hit stores Monday. This song is produced by Large Professor and caters to his flow perfectly. Classic Ish.
T.I. - Welcome to the World (Feat. Kanye West & KiD CuDi) (CDQ)
This is a dope ass track off T.I.’s next album No Mercy. It leaked sometime last week, but the CDQ dropped more recently. Decent beat, and solid features on this one.
Kanye West & Jay-Z - That’s My Bitch
This song dropped early this week. Even after after listening to it several times this week I still don’t really like it. Another Q-Tip produced song which I wasn’t particularly fond of. It may or may not be on their collabo album Watch The Throne.
Earlly Mac - Middle Name (Feat. Fly. Union)
Earlly Mac is a member of Big Sean’s Finally Famous crew. Although he’s not that much of a lyricist he brings a similar D-Town flavor to the table, and produces some pretty dope music (as well as some of Big Sean’s previous music). It also features Jerreau of Fly.U which was sick to hear.
Probably a group you haven’t heard of before, but definitely one you should familiarize yourself with. Phony PPL is a band outta BK, which consists of a several extremely talented musicians, vocalists, and lyricists. Their diversity and talent reminds me of the Roots. They are dope as hell, definitely worth a listen…
