Let's update where things stand in the world of the Throne -Jay-Z and Kanye to you.
1. They changed the dates but the presale actually happened on re-schedule. I got a tix for Sunday, November 6th, 2011 at Izod for nearly two hundred bucks.
2. Jay-Z responded to the complaint by the record stores about it going on sale two weeks early via iTunes. he told Hut 97: "“I feel a little bad about it, but at the same time we made this album, we took eight months, we should be able to release it the way we like without everyone being up in arms. The real reason behind it was because we didn’t want the music to leak we wanted to present it to the people – we were thinking about the people in its entirety. When you send it out to physical (stores), it pretty much, once it leaves the plant, it’s on the truck and that’s the end of it. And it has to go like two weeks before it goes to stores. That’s not gonna happen, that’s not gonna leak. We took great care to make sure it’s not leaking at all.”

3. Two songs down and both are dogs.
4. No, Keezy and Jigga are not at war and were at a listening party together on Monday to prove it. The story going around was Kanye wanted a big stage production valued at $400K a night, and Jay-Z wanted the fucking money and was sick of Kanye's fucking about. Jay-Z won.
5. Did I mention both songs have sucked? Guess we will find out for sure on Tuesday.
