If you thought anticipation for Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s joint effort ‘Watch The Throne’ had reached fever-pitch, think again.
For, the Hip-Hop heavyweights have today announced not only the release date for the eagerly awaited LP, they also revealed that they have formally formed a new group, and will be heading out on the road.
All the details after the jump…
The duo will now go by the name ‘The Throne’ when performing and recording, with their first joint effort ‘Watch The Throne’ confirmed to arrive on iTunes on August 8th. Traditional outlets and other digitial retailers will receive the album four days later (August 12th). The set is preceded by lead singles ‘Otis’ and the Beyonce assisted ‘Lift Off’.
Coinciding with the iTunes release, will be the release of tickets to the project’s accompanying US tour, which is set to make major stops in a number of key markets including Los Angeles and New York. As of July 28th, fans of the pair will be able to obtain pre-sale passwords to begin snapping up what will inevitably be fast-disappearing tickets.

Yall just believe anything anybody says i bet 98% of yall dont know what the hell illumanati is & dont say devil worshiping cause it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVIL…
I wish I could go but I’ll be in Japan 🙁 !!!
I personally don’t think the Illuminati exists…but ok..
The Throne? hmm…might have to grow on me…
But this album will smash considering it was in the Top 3 on iTunes based on pre-orders only…
PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS POST BE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THE “ILLUMINATI”
ANNYYWAAY…i GUESS I WONT BE GOING ..I DO NOT SEE ANY NY DATES….V_V

lol

@KINGBREEZY
I have seen those videos plenty of times and I just laugh…I think a celebrity is considered “Illuminati” when they become VERRRY SUCESSFUL! People bend and twist everything these days to make it look like someone worships the devil…they reverse songs and say they sound like chants, they decipher lyrics and make accusations…people are just jealous and until they come out and say they are a part of the shitluminati …then i will believe
S/N: THere are videos of chris brown and even disney stars that are shown to be members of the “shitluminati”….its crap!
ok
True s*** on your 1st comment @Stewie
what 666 has to do with the devil ?!! some ppl are just too much !! lolz ! illuminati ! like really ?!
@YEABEY Likes to Party!
no one absolutely knows if any of these celebs worship the devil because no one really knows these celebs personally . All this illuminati talk is speculation BUT i do remember watching this one documentary about Antwon Lavey who founded a real life Church of Satan in California ( no bs there is a real church in Cali where people openly worship Satan crazy right ? ) anyway Antwon Lavey was taping one of his weird rituals and… what he did next shocked the hell out of me… he held up the Jay z “roc” sign and put it over one eye just like Jay z. now keep in mind the footage i was watching was in black and white and was made in the mid 60’s so i find it mind boggling that 50 years later jay z and other celebs are doin the exact same sign
dont like the throne being their name, it doesnt make sence
and dammmmmnnnnnnn, they pushed it back??????
ughhhhhhhhhhhh
and they shouldve came to cleveland, blahhhh
i wanna go see them so bad

I Know but how do we know that these celebs are not using these conspiracy theories to stay relevant and popular in the music industry? I see your point but I am one of those people who do not judge unless I have some sort of proof from the MAIN SOURCE!

Good for them, sounds like they are having a blast.
I wish Beyoncé and Alicia Keys would do the same thing…
Sam, that poll is a fail, this project could be “Too much Epic Ego”, don’t you think?
I don’t mind their ego, at least they can sell platinum and book big venues. Your fave should just buy his/her own WTT ticket and keep dreaming on that kind of success.
is kanye performing his hits? Thats all I care about……. we know Jay Z aint selling out no arenas in Canada & Washington state so hopefully Kanye will perform his hits ………. that’s all.
SOOOO AGRE WITH YOU STEWIE, IF IT AINT ABOUT “SNATCHING WIGS” THESE F*** DONT CARE….
@YEABEY LIKES TO PARTY!
come to think about it … you have a point
Jay is to damn old to be rapping. I was good back in the day but now he is hiding behind Kanye talent. Now I’ll go see Kanye but if Jay old ass Z is there. No not going
sorry He
@POP ROYALTY (I’M A RUDE BOY)
666 has a lot to do with the devil! It’s the devils number. I don’t care about that illuminati stuff but just letting you know but 66 means.
@SMOKEY – I had always said that at 41-years-old, it looks silly and immature for Jay to still be rapping. You made a good point about him hiding behind Kanye’s talent. I agree with you 100% on this. Jay knows his time had been up a while ago, he just doesn’t want to let it go. By having Kanye there, he knows it will help keep people interested in him to a degree. Therefore, I feel he’s using Kanye to help keep him relevant to a certain extent. Because, people are not checking for Jay like they used to. He really needs to just hang it up in the rap game. Bow out gracefully.
why are they doing that august 8th and 12th thing!? thats gonna f*** up their album sales for the first week!
Looking forward to this project. The Throne? Might take some getting used to.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY THE F*CK NY IS NOT ON THE LIST!?!?
I SWEAR IF I MISS THIS CONCERT IMMA BE PISSED >_<
The ILLUMINATI are moving on with their agenda…
The Norway Attacks were part of it…
