Rap-Up.com || Poll: What’s Your Favorite Song on ‘Watch the Throne’?

Hip-hop heads counted down the minutes to the release of Watch the Throne on Sunday night. If you’re like us, Jay-Z and Kanye West had you up till the early morning listening to their much-anticipated album, while trying not to wake the neighbors.

Now that the heavily-guarded project has made its way onto your iPod, we want to know your favorite song. Is it the Beyoncé-assisted “Lift Off,” either of Frank Ocean’s stellar contributions (“No Church in the Wild” and “Made in America”), or did Kanye and Jay’s sentimental verses to their unborn sons on “New Day” touch you most?

Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

@Drew, I agree. Not a bad song, but it sounds a bit messy. It’s just because it features Beyonce and this site is chock full of biased fans. If they had a track with Rihanna it would be just as high.

@Summer Time, i actually enjoy lift off because beat is crazy, but i felt like jay z’s part was extra short he only had like 3 bars in the dam song, but kanye killed it with his rapping and autotune singing. one of my other favorite songs is no church in the wild with frank ocean.

I mean three shots of a bullet, go hard like the thump of a beating heart. And maybe then you have what it takes to go fight the devil n’ take his spot. (So hot!)

Lift Off is one of the weaker songs on the album actually, it’s only leading because Beyonce’s on it. N*ggas In Paris & Who Gon Stop Me are 2 songs you can go ham to, as far as concepts go I like Murder To Excellence & New Day. Why I Love You with Mr. Hudson is epic too. Shoot the whole album is epic save Otis.

The best thing about Lift Off is Beyonce’s vocals/chorus and the production. She didn’t tell Kanye to try to autotune sing and Jay to have a short ass verse. For Pharell to add the NASA countdown. That being said the song still kicks ass. A lot of people liked it from the get go. But I promise you if you play it a few times in a row, you’ll get how great a song it is.

I think “No Church in the Wild” is HANDS DOWN the best song in my opinion. No other song puts me in the zone as much as that one does…. That song defines the Watch the Throne album. And I love it even more that it’s the theme song for the new “Safe House” trailer starring Denzel Washington. Im even more hype for the movie just cause of that song being in the trailer. But overall the whole album is amazing.
