Watch the Throne Tour Kicks Off and the Reviews are In

Jay-Z and Kanye West have been the highlight of the State of Hip-Hop and the media as of late. With their collaborative album ‘Watch the Throne’ certified platinum, topping the charts reigning at number one, and with that spawning five radio singles, they’ve become the top duo amongst their peers. And of course, with the highly anticipated tour of 2011 on all of the fans mind, the journey has just began.

This past weekend the ‘Watch the Throne’ tour officially kicked off in Atlanta, Georgia covering two dates, back to back, for the vast amount of fans that were patiently waiting on the commencement of the tour. And just like that, the reviews on the show are already in. According to various media outlets, the show definitely is an experience, giving both Hov and Ye a phenomenal response.

Check out the reviews from various media outlets:

“Not even a stormy night could stop the regal reign of the Throne. On Friday, Jay-Z and Kanye West opened up their Watch the Throne Tour in Atlanta. While the WTT album has been noted for its opulent displays of wealth, Hov and Yeezy’s show will be marked by the duo’s overabundance of hit records.” – MTV News

“The kings of hip-hop, Jay-Z and Kanye West, descended upon on Atlanta on Friday and Saturday nights to begin their Watch the Throne tour reign and the two couldn’t have been more regal during their performances.”— http://www.xxlmag.com/features/2011/10/jay-z-kanye-west-take-over-atl-during-wtt-opening-weekend/

“Many in the high-energy crowd remained standing — and swaying and dancing and singing — for the entire 2½-hour show. At one point, as Jay-Z and West performed ‘Niggas in Paris’ from their hit Watch the Throne CD, West exhorted the audience to ‘Bounce! Bounce!’ The resulting stomping had Philips Arena rocking and shaking in a way that it hasn’t for the Hawks in a long time.” — USA Today

“Their enjoyment sharing the stage was obvious as they led the crowd through the refrain of ‘Run This Town’ and chanted over the heavy, chest-rattling bass in ‘Monster’ as more video of wild animals played behind them.” — Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“While there was virtually no way a concert featuring Jay-Z and Kanye West could ever be a dud, we have to say the duo lived up to our high expectations with last night’s kick-off of their Watch the Throne tour. The hip-hop monarchs performed at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, with an epic set list that featured selections from each artist’s own behemoth catalog of hits as well as their Watch the Throne collaborations.” — Idolator

The ‘Watch the Throne tour has also been set to come to Miami for two back to back dates performing in both Broward’s BankAtlantic Center on November 14th and Miami-Dade’s American Airlines Arena on November 15th respectively. Tickets are going real fast.
