Kanye West & Jay-Z - Watch The Throne Documentary

While I've already stumbled across numerous blogs with inactive links and UMG have hadYouTube remove the documentary, there are a couple of video links with the documentary video for Jay-Z and Kanye West's joint project, Watch The Throne. Although this might only remain online for a few hours, hopefully some of you get the chance to watch it.

The documentary, rumoured to be included with the deluxe edition of the much anticipated Watch The Throne, takes viewers out to Australia to gain a little insight on the making of the album. While we don't get to see any real studio material, we get to hear a few clips of tracks, and the Beyonce featured track at the end of the ten minute documentary sounds incredible. While Jay brought Kanye in to music, acting as Ye's mentor, it is evident they are both amongst the best in music right now and their work is ethic is incredible, referencing Michael Jackson shows their passion and desire to be the best. 

"I want to know what they were saying when they made Thriller in the studio"

While Russell Crowe makes a cameo in the documentary, it's interesting to see Ryan Leslie appearing in the same scene. Also hearing Cassius' I Love You So, particularly the keyboard breakdown, makes me wonder if they have reworked that for the album, while it's already an incredible track, I'd be fascinated what they could do with the beat of such a crazy song.

Check out the documentary below while it is online, and check out the album stream in the post above this. You can pick the album up now on iTunes, and in physical form from the 12th August.
