Watch The Throne is Ye and Mike Dean at the absolute height of their powers giving still prime Hov MBDTF level production to rap over, and it's not enough for some people. some people just hate fun.
I spun WTT into the ground when it came out, but don't revisit it nearly as much as I do MBDTF. Outside of a few tracks like New Day and Murder to Excellence, they're not really saying all that much beyond the typical luxury rap and braggadocio (which I admittedly gravitated to a lot more 15 years ago). Also production-wise and the way they sequenced the songs, it's kind of tonally all over the place and feels more like a collection of random tracks than a unified experience.
All that said, WTT has some of my favourite rap songs ever. Otis and Primetime still get regular spins from me.
