Aziz Ansari is everywhere these days—in addition to starring in NBC’s Parks and Recreation, and showing up in the new flick 30 Minutes or Less (dig our compatriot’s review here), the comedian is now popping up in the video for Jay-Z and Kanye’s (a.k.a., Watch The Throne) new song, “Otis.”
Jay-Z has had a nice year so far, having released the insanely popular The Throne as part of his Watch the Throne collaboration with Kanye West, and now he’s rocketed to the top of another chart—Forbes Magazine’s top hip hop earners of the year.
Just in case you haven’t received your fill of Kanye West team-ups today (apparently, Kanye is joining forces with the likes of Hitler and Michael Jordan—go figure), his collaboration with Jay-Z, Watch the Throne, released their first record today, cleverly titled—you guessed it—The Thorne. And while full reviews have yet to start pouring in, the initial and early reactions are already bubbling up on the internet.
For reasons known only to them at this point, Jay-Z and Kanye West have pushed back the massive tour in support of their new album, Watch The Throne, from September and October to November and December. Whether or not it’s because they just need to run backstage and vomit has yet to be determined.
Kanye West has been pretty good with his part of the deal in regards to the “G.O.O.D. Friday” series. We’ve gotten numerous songs from the rapper since August and his loyal fans were even more excited when he announced that he and long-time pal, Jay-Z, would be collaborating on a 5-song EP titled Watching the Throne together. One of the songs that came to fruition not long after that announcement was the massive track, “Monster” featuring other talents from Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver).
According to Entertainment Weekly’s Music Mix, it turns out that the EP may just be turning into a full-blown album. In a recent interview with MTV, West revealed that they already have enough tracks to cut a full-length.
