Easily one of the most memorable (and quoted) songs of the past year, the track has seen its fair share of replays throughout various stops along the stateside Watch The Throne tour.

Where do I begin when talking about the performances of Jay-Z and Kanye West for the “Watch The Throne Tour” in San Jose at the HP Pavilion.

Artist Andre Woolery has used over 25,000 thumbtacks to create portraits of Jay Z, Kanye West, and Barack Obama. This post was only appropriate as I’m going to see the Watch The Throne tour tonight, cause that shit cray….
As the summer comes to an end what better way to enjoy it but to watch “The Greatest Rapper Alive.” This is my second time seeing Wayne perform and unfortunately this time left me expecting a lot more. Wayne performed a lot of his old hits from “No Ceilings” and “Tha Carter III” but failed to perform any new songs from “Tha Carter IV” (How to Love was the only song he performed). Less singing more rapping. Highlight of the night was seeing Birdman come out and perform a few songs. Hit the jump to see some pics and video…
