The CD edition of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s first collaborative album, Watch the Throne, hits Best Buy stores tomorrow, but Rolling Stone has a sneak peek at the gilded packaging that Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci designed for Watch the Throne’s physical album release. (The album was released on iTunes on Sunday.)
Deeming the large-scale rap collaboration as “one of the biggest joint efforts in music history,” a representative for the Givenchy explained that Tisci brought bold colors and angular lines together to depict the “masculinity of two of the most iconic rap figures of our time.”
But in the Rolling Stone review, Jody Rosen writes that this is more than just a tricked-out “bling album.” Jay-Z and Kanye “may be obsessed with their own king-size lives, but the tone here is serious, sober, weighty.”
