Last night, Kanye West addressed the exclusivity wars of Apple Music and Tidal, revealing that he and Jay's verses on "Pop Style" didn't make Drake's VIEWS over some "political" streaming service "bullshit." He seemed to be especially frustrated with Jay Z, suggesting that Watch The Throne 2 would never happen, and complaining that he and Hov's children have never played together.
It wasn't the most optimistic news to wake up to, but seeing as it's Thursday, there's a good excuse to revisit Watch The Throne, recently celebrated its 5 year anniversary. Now that Frank Ocean is back with us as well, we're posting the opening track from the collection, "No Church In The Wild," one of the less conventional records from the collection, built off of a hypnotic, pulsating bassline, and an understated, but conceptual chorus.
Quotable Lyrics:
Tears on the mausoleum floor
Blood stains the coliseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest
Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rollin' in the Rolls-Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I'm hidin' from police
Cocaine seats
All white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic
I'm wonderin' if a thug's prayers reach
Is Pious pious 'cause God loves pious?
Socrates asks, "Whose bias do y'all seek?"
No Church In The Wild
After Kanye announced "Watch The Throne 2" would never happen, we went straight back to the source.
