Uh-oh — looks like the Queen Bee wants her throne back! After quite some time out of the spotlight (not to mention behind bars), Lil Kim has been vying to reclaim her fame lately.

Since modern sex comedies are so often listless (see: The Change-Up ), perhaps a trip back to the 19th century will liven things up. Fresh off announcing the Gala premiere of the Tanya Wexler-directed Hysteria , the Toronto International Film Festival has released a new trailer for the period sex comedy replete with more orgasms than most late night Skinemax films. Scandalous! Or at least an heir to the throne of sexual antics of Road to Wellville .
From ‘Otis’ to ‘New Day,’ experts weigh in on which Jay-Z and Kanye joint stands out from the rest. By Rob Markman Kanye West and Jay-Z Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage From upbeat dancefloor bangers to low-key concept songs, there is quite a bit of variety on Watch the Throne . On the day of its digital release last week, Kanye West and Jay-Z ‘s tag-team album saw a handful of its tracks become trending topics on Twitter. “No Church in the Wild,” “Gotta Have It” and “Who Gon Stop Me” all stood as fan favorites, at least initially, but it seems that no matter who you ask, everyone has a different favorite from WTT . “My favorite record off the album is ‘New Day,’ produced by the RZA,” said New York’s Power 105 morning-show host Charlamagne Tha God. “The record about Kanye and Jay rapping about their unborn sons, that’s ill to me.” Read what the critics thought of Watch the Throne . On “New Day” Kanye express his life’s regrets in a lyrical letter to his future son. Over RZA’s twinkling keys and somber soul sample ‘Ye raps, “And I’ll never let my son have an ego/ He’ll be nice to everyone wherever we go/ I mean, I might even make him be Republican/ So everybody knows he loves white people.” Jay takes a similar approach and spits a verse to his unborn, amid persistent rumors that he and wife Beyonc#233; are planning to have a child. AllHipHop CEO Chuck Creekmur puts the energetic “Who Gon Stop” at the top of his list. The track samples Flux Pavilion’s dub-step track “I Can’t Stop.” The chest-pounding album cut finds Hov and Yeezy putting their wealth on full display, despite facing insurmountable odds, with bars like, “Beat the odds, bet the feds/ It wouldn’t be wise to bet against the kid/ State me broke, I bet I get rich/ Night shift ’66.” See what radio DJs thought of WTT ‘s unconventional radio rollout. ” ‘Dudes in Paris’ is awesome,” Jeff Rosenthal, from the sketch comedy team It’s the Real, said, censoring the song’s real title, “N—as in Paris.” He is particularly impressed by the song’s instrumental which was constructed by Kanye and newcomer Hit-Boy. “The beat is insane, just everything about it.” What is your favorite Watch the Throne track?

Hov also announced he’ll take part in the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas next month. By Rob Markman Jay-Z (file) Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Jay-Z continues to promote his and Kanye West ‘s Watch the Throne album. While his partner Yeezy was overseas in Sweden performing with Prince at the Way Out West festival this weekend, Hov held it down at home, beginning with the opening on Friday of the WTT pop-up store in New York City. He also dialed in to Miami’s 99 Jamz for a radio interview, and Monday morning (August 15) it was announced that the God MC would join Bruno Mars, Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta as part of the iHeartRadio Festival on September 23 and 24 in Las Vegas. On Friday night, after news of the surprise retail space broke, Jigga, along with Beyonc
Friends and family gather in New York for a peaceful demonstration to honor fallen college student. By D.L. Chandler Students in New York’s Grand Central Terminal honor Danroy Henry on Friday Photo: Claire Finnegan Although much of the criticism levied towards Watch The Throne has been focused primarily on the braggadocious rhymes from Kanye West and Jay-Z , the pair tackled serious fare several times throughout the album — most notably on the track “Murder To Excellence” in which Jay-Z dedicated his rhyme to the memory of a college football player on the cusp of his 21st birthday. Danroy Henry, forever immortalized in verse by Jay-Z’s opening line on the track, was a student at Pace University in suburban Westchester County, New York and a member of its football team. During a celebratory night with friends at a local bar last October after a Pace win, Henry reportedly ran two officers down with his car who then ended up on the hood of his vehicle and began to open fire, killing Henry and injuring two passengers. Further insult to the Henry family came when Pleasantville police officer Aaron Hess was given an officer of the year award. In February, Hess was cleared of any wrongdoing by grand jury although the Henry family is still pursuing justice in the case. Friends of Danroy — affectionately known as DJ — Henry gathered Friday (August 12) at New York City’s Grand Central station to stage a peaceful gathering in the memory of their fallen friend and also cleverly timed their call against police brutality with the release of Watch The Throne as well. Organized partly by Claire Finnegan, sister to one of DJ’s teammates Patrick, the gathering of friends honoring DJ’s life numbered to about fifty people according to Ms. Finnegan. “DJ was really one of the best guys you’d ever meet. He was a good kid and so upstanding,” shared Ms. Finnegan in a phone interview with MTV. “He was one of those guys who would give you anything he had. He was just that good of a guy.” Ms. Finnegan further shared that their gathering was disrupted by police officers although an off duty cop was said to have shown support to the group’s cause. With golden balloons adorned with the Jay-Z line “This is to the memory of Danroy Henry” and “Watch The Throne” on the adjacent side, the gatherers all timed the release of the helium filled balloons into the air much to the chagrin of the police officials inside the station. Although the memorial was met with some resistance, Ms. Finnegan vowed that more public demonstrations are to come and informed MTV that Henry’s parents have started the “DJ Dream Fund” inn Henry’s home state of Massachusetts which will strive to provide sports-related resources to children and to remember DJ via his love of athletics.

MTV News crashed Jay-Z and Kanye’s pop-up store in NYC to speak to Throne fans. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Steven Roberts Kanye West and Jay-Z Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImageGetty Images/ NEW YORK — “We were at our office and one of my colleagues said, ‘I just saw on Twitter that there is a new pop-up shop that’s selling Watch the Throne, ” said a man identified only by his Twitter handle @hiprobbie. “So we ran down here to check it out.” And just like that, fans scurried down to 201 Mulberry Street, in the SoHo section of Manhattan, to celebrate the physical retail release of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s combo album . Things started off slowly at first. MTV News was on the scene at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET and the storefront, which was wrapped in a gold Riccardo Tisci-designed print, was barren out front. It wasn’t until noon, when MTV broke the news and folks from Kanye’s camp began to tweet about the surprise retail space, that fans started to show up. At about 1 p.m. ET, fans were let in to the surprise store, where the Throne album was sold and the album’s art was displayed. The biggest attraction: the chopped-and-screwed Maybach from Hov and Yeezy’s “Otis” video , which premiered on MTV on Thursday. “That’s the first thing you see when you get in the store is the Maybach, and it’s all tore up,” hip-hop fan Max Lockie said. “The engine’s exposed, the doors are ripped off, the trunk’s split open so you can see the inside of it.” Dorian Talker was equally excited to see the tricked-out whip, which will eventually be auctioned off for charity, though he did express just a bit of disappointment. “I would’ve liked it better if Jay-Z and Kanye had been in the car, but, you know, you get what you get,” he said. See what car expert Myles Kovacs estimates the Maybach’s work cost. The pop-up store caps off an exciting week in which fans waited until Monday’s early morning hours to purchase the album on iTunes. Then on Thursday, Throne fanatics got to see WTT first visual component when the “Otis” video debuted. On Friday, folks were still buzzing. “It was dope. What I liked about the video most was it seemed like they were having a good time,” Jonas Guerrero said. “They were stuntin’ on a whole ‘nother level. The whole big Riccardo Tisci flag on the back, and they were all smiles … I haven’t seen a video like that in a long time.” What did our panel of tastemakers have to say about the “Otis” vid? Check it out here. Talker agreed. He applauded the video’s director for letting Jay and ‘Ye just let it all hang out. “I think Spike Jonze just allowed Kanye and Jay-Z to do their thing,” he said. “It wasn’t overly conceptual, which I think was a benefit to the video.” What do you think of the “Otis” video?
