Kanye West and Jay-Z release the worldwide sensational album titled Watch The Throne. It was an instant hit, selling +400k in its first week, and has already reached platinum status. This happened without the wild promotion, and it was the first modern day rap album that didn't leak. With the disappointing performance in MCHG, and the abysmal Yeezus, it's refreshing to hear some of the amazing work that these artists are known for.
H.A.M.
Otis
**** in Paris
No Church in the Wild

Top Hip-Hop album of the decade.

Jay Z is known for The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt, not this bullstuff.

Comprehend much?
WTT is popular globally, and was really the first release that showed today's youth the GOATness of Hova.
But yeah, for the older generation Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, and Blueprint are what he's known for.

No, just the fact you said that's what Jay is known for.

"History" typically means more than 2 years ago.

Now Captain, did you really just say that when my response will be the exact same of what I just told Heady?
I may have the maturity level of a 13 y/o, but at least I don't comprehend like one.
