Jay-Z Previews "Watch The Throne", Starts New Solo Album

Jul 08 | by _YBF

Having recently released the cover art for their album Watch The Throne earlier this week, Kanye West and Jay-Z have begun promoting their new disc, with Hova hosting an exclusive preview party last night. Deets inside...

While Kanye is away in Paris for fashion week, Jay-Z hosted a very intimate preview party for their Watch The Throne collabo disc last night.

A very select group of 20 journalists were invited to hear the CD last night and given strict intructions that they weren't allowed to tweet, give specific song titles or quote lyrics (as they may change). We all know that didn't happen. So...

What we've learned so far is that Beyonce joins the pair on a track called "Lift Off" and that Frank Ocean of Odd Future appears on two tracks. And one of the Frank Ocean tracks is called "No Church" and happens to be one of Jay-Z's favorites.

Listeners also reported that the pair tackle some heavy topics like child-rearing and Black-on-Black crime on the disc.

And although no offical release date has been set, fans who pre-ordered the album were told they would receive it on August 2.

Jay-Z also announced that he has started work (2 songs in) on his next album but had a few words about Watch The Throne for MTV saying...

"Man it's just some good-ass songs on there. I don't know if they want me to give away any of the titles, but you'll hear it. You'll know what I'm talking about. Just even from the intro it's like, damn!"

Sounds like it's going to be pretty good....

Do you think JAY Z would make

Do you think JAY Z would make a song titled NO GAYS? NO MOSQUE's? Just curious- What do you think the reaction would be?

Nope!! Do not comment daily.

Nope!! Do not comment daily. Only comment when the subject Church, God, Christ, Jesus, False Prophets, False Teachers, anything or anybody commenting about the bible. Again, If a title was NO RAPPERS- It would be offensive to those who rapped. Those who go to church, No Church- is offensive- especially coming from a guy who's previous lyrics were JESUS Can't SAVE YOU LIfe begins when the Church Ends!! LET's SEE HIM MAKE A TITLE _ NO GAYS= see how fast GLAAD BULLIES be on him And if someone is not saved or do not confess to be saved I expect to see negative language and comments coming from them.

ooohh pleeeaaassseee shut up.

ooohh pleeeaaassseee shut up. Ppl kill me with this stuff. You are on a GOSSIP site getting offended over a song TITLE. Not even the song contents, because you have never heard the song before. I think it's funny how the same people who are so anti Jay-Z (and this part is not directed towards ICareEnough) and think he is a part of the illuminati or demon or whatever, are the first people to comment on posts about him. Following his every move. Sounds like idolization to me. Which is what you all are supposedly against. Right? Sit all the way down. Please and thank you. SMH

I agree with you 100% JESUS

I agree with you 100% JESUS says in Luke 6 verse 46 Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not what I say So many people profess to be of Christ but it is written Titus 1 verse 16 AMP bible THEY PROFESS TO KNOW GOD [to recognize, perceive, and be acquainted with Him], but deny and disown and renounce Him by what they do; they are detestable and loathsome, unbelieving and disobedient and disloyal and rebellious, and [they are] unfit and worthless for good work (deed or enterprise) of any kind. Far as the title NO CHURCH= Blasphemous- I dont have to hear the song What about the title NO RAPPERS- would be offensive wouldnt it? even if no one made the song

People who live in glass

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. You haven't even heard the song and you're bashing (No Church), you don't know the concept and how can you quote scripture and scream " blasphemy, when you are on a ybf blogg commenting probably daily, where there is nothing but blasphemy (negative language and comments)?

I'm sure Kanye is the reason

I'm sure Kanye is the reason the pair tackle anything serious or socially relevant, because Jay is all style, no substance in my opinion. Kanye is a cutie too.

You just might bust it open

You just might bust it open first. We will all be judged, including YOU when that time comes and you will brought down for your transgressions as well, if it hasn't happened already. You all are killing me with the religion and demon talk, as if you're spirit is so pure talking the way you are. Take a seat.

lol at you idiots jumping at

lol at you idiots jumping at a title of a song and making assumptions Someone who was there and gave a review said the "No Church" song was just asking questions like "does a preist who molest a kid makes the person bad, does a criminal who save someones like make them good". They song just question peoples thinking, from what they said. We will see, but to rush to judgment on a title is a little bit presumptuous.

Since CHURCHES are nothing

Since CHURCHES are nothing but houses of PROFIT and not worship since you can praise the lord no matter where you stand or decide to praise him at there really is not a need for church. LISTEN to the track before you start talking that illuminati SHIT!

I agree in part, but for

I agree in part, but for clarification purposes, the Church is foremost the body of Christ that is made manifest through the Holy Spirit. It is not those four walls, windows and a door that modern-day "Christians" have turned into houses of financial profit.

i agree! u can certainly have

i agree! u can certainly have church anywhere simply bc church is all about worship and the body of believers! ne how, if u do worship, im sure u also read the Bible which specifically states to NOT forsake the assemply of other believers (the church) and Jesus states several times that He is leaving the mission in the hands of "the church". so yes, u actually do need church. it's apart of your worship and your humble service to God. you're RIGHT! there are false prophets everywhere! but we're also instructed to TITHE & GIVE "out of the storehouse" my dear. so, you should be giving to the church that you believe God has decerned you to be at. tithing, just liek the church, is an act of worship. if you want to be mad about ne thing ive said, look it up for yourself.

No need to be mad. You stated

No need to be mad. You stated real shit but what I was raised on growing up in church isn't what church is about now. I got reverends riding around town in Bentleys but yet its 3 offering plates in a 2 hour service. Something is not right. I'm not going to let the bad outweigh the good but there is an abuse of what CHURCH is supposed to represent. I should have clarified in my original post that not all churches are scandalous!
