The Throne & Their Tour

Jay-Z and Kanye West have officially announced not only the release date for their highly anticipated LP, but they have also stated that they will now be known as "The Throne," when referencing their collaborations.

My guess is that this prevents the discussion about "Should it be 'Kanye West & Jay-Z' or 'Jay-Z & Kanye West'?" The latter leaving Kanye feeling like he's getting "little brothered", while the former makes Jay seem like a washed-up has been.

This is  a similar move to Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, and Lupe Fiasco being known as  "Child Rebel Soldier." Or Eminem and Royce da 5'9" as "Bad Meets Evil." Or everyone who is a member of "All City Chess Club."

Regardless of how unoriginal the idea or uncreative the name may be, The Throne is going on tour and I will certainly do everything in my power to go see them. The tickets go on presale on July 28 and regular public sale on August 8. Unfortunately, there have not been many specifications as to what qualifies you for presale, other than a special date for Citi cardholders.

Anyhow, see the dates below and be sure to get yours as soon as possible...
