Watch the Throne. JAY-Z & Kanye West. Released August 8, 2011. Watch the Throne Tracklist. 1. No Church in the Wild (Ft. Frank Ocean & The-Dream) Lyrics. 3.5M. 2. Lift Off (Ft. Beyoncé)...
- “No Church in the Wild” (featuring Frank Ocean) Odd Future singer Frank Ocean and The-Dream lend their voices to the album’s grim opener, which sets the mood with a gnarled guitar sample before jacking some sounds from James Brown’s “Don’t Tell A Lie About Me and I Won’t Tell the Truth About You.”
- “Lift Off” Beyoncé joins the boys for a synth-heavy banger that takes off like a rocket and eventually arrives at a spacey, blissful resolution. It all but demands a sci-fi music video featuring Beyoncé as a sexy astronaut.
- “N**gas in Paris” Jay and Ye come in hard over a slow, menacing beat and icy synthesizer notes, but regardless, this cut is mostly memorable for including an unexpected sample of dialogue from the underrated Will Ferrell/Jon Heder ice-skating comedy Blades of Glory.
- “Otis” West transforms Otis Redding’s “Try A Little Tenderness” into slick “luxury rap.” Jay-Z and Kanye turn in strong verses, but Redding’s chopped-up shouts and hollers are the main attraction.
Seven singles were released for Watch the Throne, including "H•A•M", "Otis", "Lift Off", "No Church in the Wild", and the Billboard Hot 100 top five hit "Niggas in Paris", with 3 of the singles receiving music videos.

- “Otis” Producers: Kanye West. “Otis” was the social-media-age radio event that truly felt momentous; witnesses know exactly where they were when Funkmaster Flex unleashed those signature bombs and had that Redding chop on repeat for an hour.
- “Niggas in Paris” Producers: Anthony Kilhoffer, Hit-Boy, Mike Dean, & Kanye West. JAY-Z and Kanye performing “Niggas in Paris” multiple times in a row at concerts (including a dozen in Paris) was undeniable proof that the hype behind Watch the Throne had become a full-blown phenomenon.
- "The Joy" Producers: Kanye West & Pete Rock. Even with all the preceding excess, Watch the Throne ends with the brothers rapping the blues over a Pete Rock joint that West calls “No electro, no metro, a little retro.”
- “Gotta Have It” Producers: The Neptunes & Kanye West. Kanye West and the Neptunes chop up James Brown to speak on the surrealness of being a wealthy black American (Kanye’s “‘Ello, ‘ello, ‘ello, ‘ello, white America, assassinate my character/ Money matrimony, yeah they tryna break the marriage up”) and rep their hometowns (“I remain Chi-town, Brooklyn ‘til I die”).
