An album in which Kanye West and Jay-Z come together, call themselves “The Throne,’’ and tell everybody to watch them? Is Jay-Z the greatest rapper of all time?
Is Kanye West the best rapper right now?
Then West barges in.
“Racks on racks on racks,’’ he shouts. “Maybachs on bachs on bachs on bachs on bachs.’’ Jay-Z asks, “Who’s in that?’’ West responds, “It’s just blacks on blacks on blacks.’’
Jay-Z feels at home on West’s beats. West is giddy to rap with his idol.
There was a point when West was Jay-Z’s pupil.
