What Can We Expect From Jay-Z & Kanye’s “Watch The Throne” Fall Tour?

July 25, 2011 |  by  |  CANDID CONVO, Uncategorized  |  6 Comments  |  Share  | 

*Turns On “Otis”

This is something we’ve probably longed for since God knows when. We dreamed it, but never thought it would become a sincere reality. The chemistry between these two onstage is pretty impeccable. Ye dripping with excitement because big brother finally decided he was ready to share the big stage. Jay finding inspiration from his understudy despite his crazy antics throughout the years. These two are ready. We smelled it coming when they announced their Watch The Throne project, but just didn’t know if they would make it happen.

Then, on the morning of July 25th, the unbelievable became believable: The Throne was going on a world tour to show WHY the throne resides in their possession. Now I’m sure a MAJORITY of you readers have experienced either Jay and/or Ye in some live capacity either separately or as a collective. And if you haven’t, you’ve seen countless amounts of footage of these two popping up at each other’s shows. More recently, The Vevo Station down in Austin, Texas for SXSW- a show I missed, but wasn’t pissed at all.

So, I bring you to the current inquiry at hand: What can we expect from The Throne? Who remember’s Ye’s “Glow In The Dark Tour?” Yeah, one of, if not the BEST show I’ve ever witnessed to date. Will there be huge theatrics? Will the two simplify the set and make it JUST about the presentation of the music? Will Ye open for Jay or will they alter throughout the night? The catalog’s of these two is EXTENSIVE to no end so the music is there, it’s all how they present it.

Personally, I’d love to see them battle it out. Not Ye open for big brother because that’s to predictable. But I’d LOVE to see Jay and Ye play a game of show me what you got. Open up with something off WTT…NOT H.A.M. I wouldn’t mind “Otis”. And then right after, form a friendly rivalry attempting to win the love and affection of whoever’s in attendance that night. A standard concert isn’t needed for these two, they need to make it fun. Interesting. I want to SWEAT. I don’t even want to sit down during the show.

Jay start off with “Show Me What You Got”, Ye come out of nowhere with “Can’t Tell Me Nothing, Jay return with “What More Can I Say.” Man, I know I’m not the only who thinks a friendly rivalry throughout the night wouldn’t be interesting. Ahhh whatever, you guys are boring and toooo cool for school lol.

But wait, here’s another idea…and it might be a stretch. Who’s going to open for these two? Ahh, here’s a great idea…since the project AND tour is called “Watch The Throne” why not have their current understudy’s OPEN the nights festivities? That’s right…J.Cole and Big Sean. You see where I’m going with this right? What better way to mold these two young knuckleheadz then have them on the road with the two dudes who changed their lives- forever. A quick 20 minute set from both Sean and Cole? I mean Cole’s album comes out 6 days after the tour starts (9.27.) Genius? Yes it is!  I’d pay to see that shit. And I don’t pay for SHIT except my Egg Nogg.

I digress. But I’ve been wrestling with these thoughts ever since I heard of the tour announcement this morning. Am I off? On point? Talk to me ya punks lol! Tour dates, below!
