It's sick that there's no other emcees though

So I still think this album is beyond incredible.

Arm out the window through the city I maneuver slow
Cock back, snap back
See my cut through the holes

Is Niggas in Paris produced by Soulja Boy?

Jokes aside, I like the production on this album. This is refreshing to hear more synthy rap that's not sounding techno rubbish pop. Original sample and I like the vibe. Still... Pete Rock killed every1 else on the beats 

[IbblesAndBits]

I think that "Ni$#as in Paris" and "Who Gone Stop Me" are really dope tracks, and "Lift Off" would've been the best song if there was no singing and more rapping. The rest wasn't all that impressive to me, but it wasn't wack either. Might grow on me but I doubt it.

[Lucifuge]

Shit what Jigga just did on that Welcome To The Jungle beat? Kill him in so meny ways, beat it down. Shit

I like Kanye's last album better but this album is very dope as well

[Invincible]

I've just skimmed through the 1st 6 tracks and the amount of Auto-Tune is killing me. Production is strong though I have to say. Jay-Z has fallen off so bad its unreal that I no longer look forward to a new release of his.

[Invincible]

And after skimming through the whole lot, production wise the majority of it is strong. The majority of the hooks are terrible. Lift Off was started of great then Beyonce came in and destroyed the song. And Jay-Z came very weak on this album. His flows are horrible.

[doggfather]

don't really feel this album...

[CHUCK KNOXXX]

I'm surprised that no one is really mentioning 'new day' as one of the best songs, its so dope....that, 'no church' & 'the joy' are my favorite tracks so far...i like the album over all, dope

[Javier]

As I read other message boards, review sites, and other opinions on Watch the Throne it seems that one of the common criticisms of this album is their self-boasting.  What were they expecting when the album itself is called, "Watch the Throne"?  Plus, you still have songs like No Church in the Wild, New Day, Welcome to the Jungle, Murder to Excellence, Made in America, and Why I Love You. People always want rappers to spit about what they know, and here we have two of the biggest egos in hip hop getting together to record, and that's exactly what they're doing.  To me that seems like a good balance.

This album is still amazing.
