Watch the Throne is a collaborative studio album by American rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West, collectively known as The Throne.[2] It was released on August 8, 2011, through Roc-A-Fella Records, Roc Nation, and Def Jam Recordings. Prior to the release, Jay-Z and West had collaborated on various singles, and with the latter as a producer on the former's work. They originally sought to record a five-song EP together, but the project eventually evolved into a full-length album. The album features guest appearances from Frank Ocean, The-Dream, Beyoncé and Mr Hudson. It also features vocal contributions from Kid Cudi, Seal, Justin Vernon, Elly Jackson, Connie Mitchell, Charlie Wilson and Pete Rock, among others, and samples of vocals by soul musicians Otis Redding and Curtis Mayfield.
During the promotional stages of West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a remix of the song "Power" surfaced featuring Jay-Z.[10] Following this, Kanye West announced on Twitter his intention to drop a five-track EP with Jay-Z, titled Watch the Throne.[10] Also according to the rapper, the track "Monster" was intended for the EP, though that failed to surface.[10] It was later revealed by West that the project had been expanded into a full-length album in an October 2010 interview for MTV.[11] He said in the interview that they planned to record in the south of France.[11]

"Who Gon Stop Me" features bombastic production and samples Flux Pavilion's 2011 song "I Can't Stop", reinforced with heavy synthesizer and tone shifts.[58] The song utilizes an often experimental, bass-driven and dub-step influenced style of composition, with West forcefully rapping lines like "this is something like the Holocaust".[52] "Murder to Excellence" addresses black-on-black crime and limited social mobility for African Americans.[38] Midway through the song the beat switches up, with Kanye musing over the horrors of black-on-black violence in the first half, and Jay-Z delivering equally meditated comments on black excellence on the more choir-heavy second half.[52] A sample from Indiggo's "LA LA LA" can be heard on the song.[59][60][61] At 5 minutes in length, the complete "Murder to Excellence" is the longest track on the album.[13]
Slant Magazine's Matthew Cole was less impressed, believing West had contributed a "powerhouse production" but that the album "requires you to tolerate the artists' self-mythologizing and put up with their sometimes awkward attempts at experimentation."[36] Andy Gill of The Independent was more critical and found their rapping "pretty mediocre", partly because "too often here their complacent, back-slapping laxity leaves tracks floundering."[104] In the Chicago Tribune, Greg Kot found the record plagued by Jay-Z and West's "self-regard", writing that "they urge listeners to 'watch the throne,' and gaze in awe on their good fortune."[46] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone felt that "on a record this ambitious, this sonically bold, it's a shame two of music's greatest storytellers don't extend their gaze beyond their own luxe lives."[35] Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker stated, "Weed the album down to a healthy ten, and [it] doesn't become either classic or coherent, but it does work as an entertaining document of two wildly creative, not particularly wound-up friends."[106]
Watch the Throne debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 436,000 copies in its first week.[131] This became Jay-Z's 12th number-one album and West's fifth number-one album in the US.[131] This also became the second highest debut week of 2011, while its first week digital sales of 321,000 downloads served as the second highest one-week sales tally at the time.[131] Watch the Throne broke the US iTunes Store's one-week sales record at the time when it sold nearly 290,000 downloads.[131] The album also reached number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and the US Top Rap Albums charts.[132] In its second week, the album remained at number one on the chart, selling an additional 177,000 copies.[133] In its third week, the album dropped to number two on the chart, selling 94,000 more copies.[134] In its fourth week, the album dropped to number four on the chart, selling 80,000 copies.[135] In 2011, Watch the Throne was the ninth best-selling album in the US, and the first collaborative album to make the year-end top ten in Nielsen SoundScan history.[136][137] It was also the fourth top selling album on iTunes in 2011.[138] As of July 2013, the album has sold 1,573,000 copies in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[139] On November 23, 2020, the album was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over five million units in the United States.[140]

The album comes hot on the heels of career-landmark albums from both artists, but the few months they spent recording it on multiple continents were practically vacations compared to the way they usually work. Kanye's opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, still less than a year old, won across-the-board critical raves for its lush, prog-rap expansiveness; to create it, Kanye sequestered himself in Hawaii and flew in an endless stream of creative-peak collaborators. Jay, meanwhile, is still cruising on the momentum of The Blueprint 3, an artistically flat but commercially massive grab for continued relevance that did everything he wanted it to do. Watch the Throne brings little of Twisted Fantasy's boundary-melting ambition or The Blueprint 3's commercial acumen. It's just two of rap's biggest figures and best friends getting together to make some of the swollen, epic music that comes so naturally to them. Listening to it is sort of like watching George Clooney get all his movie-star friends together for a party at his Italian villa, and, along the way, maybe dream up Ocean's Twelve. (I liked Ocean's Twelve.)
