Watch the Throne doesn't seem too exciting. It's not bad... I guess.
It's not the same old. I will give it that. It is a creative work.
Is this good rap though? I don't know. I guess people like these guys? Kanye's last album at least connected with me in some way. This doesn't. I never understood Jay-Z. Apparently he's brilliant? Or something?
With The Roots and D-Sisive I don't need what's good about it explained to me. You just listen. It's good. It sounds good. It sounds honest. It has emotional weight.
Maybe someone gets that from this collaboration. I wouldn't rule it out. Maybe it's about something. Maybe all of those words are spoken and are actually saying something. Maybe.
