July 15, 2011 ⋅ Music ⋅ by Davis Huynh ⋅ 377 Views

Here’s a look at some of the inner workings captured during the Watch the Throne recording sessions of Jay-Z and Kanye West. The highly anticipated album, which still hasn’t received a confirmed release date yet, is currently available for pre-order with an August 2 delivery. Some of these photos might give you an idea of the direction they’re going with it, or maybe not. But one thing is certain, pre-orders are available now through WatchTheThrone.com. Stay tuned!

    At first, I thought it was a Froot Loops ad. Then I realized that wasn’t Toucan Sam.

    @los99 you just quoted Malcolm X in reference to bringing about awareness on moving on from using “swag.” Shit doesn’t get much more convoluted than that.

    not sure exactly whose “dick” you think i’m riding on?  but the first person i commented on is riding on kanye & jay’s dick no doubt, professing how “swag” they are?  i’ll gladly bring awareness that people need to move on from using the word “swag”.  if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.

    that you even say that the word swag is outdated shows how much of a dick rider you are. Do you dont worry if something is outdated.

    using the word SWAG to describe someone sounds so outdated.  like soulja boy tell ‘em 2007 outdated.  you know it’s dead when pre-pubescent mid-western school boys use that word when they beg and scream at their broke parents to buy them their first pair of schnike’s at the mall, then brag on their tumblr page how “swag” they are.  if you have any kind of respect for kanye or jay, please refrain yourself from using that word
