We’re not sure what exactly is happening here but we’re certainly not complaining if a Watch The Throne sequel is somewhere in the equation.
In 2011, Kanye West and Jay-Z set the gears in motion for the onset of collaborative albums in the latter half of the 2010s. It produced such hits as “Otis,” “No Church in The Wild,” and “N*ggas In Paris” and would certify Platinum that same year.
Five years later, Kanye West would dispel all hope of the two rappers colliding once more for a follow-up to the effort when he launched into that infamous rant against his partner in crime while on his Saint Pablo tour. During his impromptu speech he asserted that he would not be recording another song with Jay-Z, citing the controversy behind Drake’s “Pop Style” track as he addressed the fact that he was left off the track because of “Tidal/Apple bullshit.”
Now, one 4:44 album and a MAGA hat later, West is singing a very different tune as he took to Twitter to announce plain and simply that Watch The Throne 2 would be “coming soon.”
As a tweet serves as our only artifact at the moment, we’re hoping that there isn’t much to read into this, signaling the return of Jay and ‘Ye to the booth sometime soon.
Sound off with your thoughts down below. Do we need a Throne 2 or not?
