Not satisfied with having arguably the album of 2010, Kanye West has joined forces with Jay Z to create a new project for 2011 and an album called 'Watch The Throne'. The first offering is a street single called H.A.M.(Hard As A Mother F****r apparently), and with two giant egos going full throttle on one track, it was of course bound to be full of fire.
Produced by Lex Luger, the song begins with menacing synths before a bouncing 808 drops hard with an apocalyptic choir. The beat may be meaty but lyrically I find this really quite uninspiring. Essentially we find the two rappers boasting rather predictibly about clout, girls & money, which let's face it we've all heard before. If two Hip Hop heavyweights are going in on one track I'd prefer to hear something constructive rather then childish postering. Anyway, that's just my opinion...please feel free to tell us yours. Check out the track below, but be aware that it contains very strong language.
'Watch The Throne' is scheduled for release on March 1st
