The first song from the highly anticipated joint album Watch My Throne was dropped midnight their time. H.A.M. - Hard As a Motherf-cker. Produced by Kanye West & Lex Luger

Not a big fan of the song to be honest. Much prefer Kanye and Jay-Z's 'That's My Bitch' feat La Roux. Produced by Q-Tip.

Yeah, I didn't like it as much the first time but it's pretty good. I really like Kanye but he doesn't go H.A.M., Jay Z does. The beat could have been stronger, I know Kanye threw in the classical instrumental near the end but it felt too long after the verses. If lesser rappers did this it would be big but high expectations from these two.

It still gets me hype for the album.

The classical warblings at the end weren't really needed i don't think. Still, i'd like to hear more from these two.

Jay killed it but Kanye's part is a bit messed up

Jay's lyrics were a bit touching about his nephew's death

Underwhelming after Kanye's last album really, That's my Bitch is like 1000000 times better and the beat on this just sounds annoying.

Hope their album sounds more like That's My Bitch.

Reading up on other music forums people are saying the beat is too "southern rap" as the reason why it's not gelling all together well. Lex Luger is a 19-year-old producer who has worked with Southern rappers before (eg. Waka Flaka - Hard In the Paint; I don't care much for Waka but the beat was hot!) I don't think it should matter which type of beat was used it just wasn't 100-percent.

Unreal that this looks like it will chart so highly in the UK (is already number 10 on itunes), yet the highest anything of Kanye's album made it was 39. Can't believe it, I guess the only reason is the promotion that Jay-Z insists on having with any release.

And btw the album's gonna be called Watch The Throne mate.

Thanks, I don't know why I keep calling it WMT, maybe it's me subconciously thinking only one can have the throne..?

Isn't it supposed to be released around the same time as Lil Wayne's album too? If so I think the Carter IV will eat it sales-wise.

Lol,

Not too sure I don't think think they have set a proper date yet possibly in March. Haven't really heard much new Wayne stuff, loved Carter 3, absolutely hated his rock album and didn't think much of the one he released whilst in jail.

Yeah, Rebirth is a pretty horrid album and I Am Not A Human Being was just 'okay' to me. There are some real sweet songs on Tha Carter III I agree and I also enjoyed the No Ceilings mixtape. But I think he could come back a lot stronger judging by 6'7' which I really enjoy.

I reckon they might try to time it around the same time because there's been suggested "beef" between Jay-Z, Kanye and Wayne, Drake because Drake suggested they stole the album collaboration idea from them. And then Kanye has admitted being kinda threatened by Drake..lol it could all just be publicity.


As for H.A.M. doing well -- Kanye is being a trip on twitter. He is too funny I swear!

He tweeted then deleted:
Yo Britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time!

@kanyewest Thanks for "letting" us be #1. Much appreciated.... -Adam Leber, Manager

On a serious note I'm truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears... No hate in 2011!

@AvrilLavigne
Yo @KanyeWest I'm really happy for U and I'mma lovin you at #2, and @BritneySpears at #1, but What The Hell all the way! haha! xoxo

Kanye West
I thought LOL signified a joke... I didn't get the 2011 LOL doesn't signify a joke anymore memo... LOL or something else I guess

Lol that's jokes, but Kanye > Drake, by a country mile tbh, apparently there's rumours Drake got with Amber Rose when Kanye was still seeing her and that's why he cut his verse off All Of The Lights. The 2 Hip Hop albums define the year has to be Watch The Throne and J.Cole's debut which should be out before summer.

Yeah and Kanye's verse on the Dueces Remix was said to be aimed at Drake and Amber too.
n-ggas take my old flows and they take my old swag
he just took my old b-tch and turn it to his new b-tch
hehe. I'm stupid
but I won't get my drama on
what I'm dealing with is too real for me to comment on
Jay finally got it through my head not to run my mouth
so when you talk bout "you know who" I don't know who you talkin' bout

Poor guy seems so stuck on Amber judging by the tweet he sent Wiz Khalifa. She seems to have transformed in to Hollywood's rent-a-ho.

I don't think Drake should step on his toes, but I'm surprised because it seemed that he really wanted his approval in the beginning.

Off-topic, but Kylie has congratulated Britney on her success.

It's so weird, seeing some of the world's biggest stars, and, uh, Avril Lavigne call out to eachother like that.
