Decode the Throne

This piece is in lieu of Decoded’s paperback re-issue, but the essay—penned by the indefatigable Robert Christgau—is just as much about Watch The Throne and Jay-Z’s ability/career/impact, et al. There’s been some good ruminations on the leader of the R-O-C lately, including Toure’s take on Hov’s “No Church In The Wild” verse. Some of my favorite #WTT reviews: JC’s, Hua Hsu’s and, if you haven’t already, peep mine.
