Rap-Up.com || Jay-Z and Kanye West Open ‘Watch the Throne’ Pop-Up Store

Jay-Z and Kanye West don’t do ordinary. To celebrate the release of Watch the Throne, the rap superstars have opened a pop-up shop in New York City at Openhouse Gallery (201 Mulberry St.). If you’re in the area, check out the Riccardo Tisci artwork and chopped-up Maybach from the “Otis” video, which is being auctioned off to benefit the East African drought disaster. Jay and ‘Ye’s hot-selling CD will also be available for $15 and there will be DJ sets and maybe a surprise guest or two. We wonder who it could be…

@CITY, okay how bout you stop waiting for celebrities and do it yourself. write a letter to your congress with a signed petition with at least 1,000 names and ask for a grant to open build one; if you are serious. if you are not sit down and enjoy MUSIC like everyone else.

@CITY, Every time someone writes in all caps God kills a homeless person and makes a troubled youth commit a crime.

Good job.

Need to see photos of this store. Looks ridiculous.
Whole other level.

@Joe, no that Ricky is a true business man. gotta give to receive. thats why music is so scarce. it cost millions to put an LP out but y’all want it at no cost? so you not even gonna support the artist to achieve an even return. he/she spent millions for you and you can’t spend 10-15 dollars for their project? SMH
