Kanye West says collaboration album with Jay-Z, Watch The Throne, due out in a week

Following an appearance at Jay’s show with Coldplay in Las Vegas, Kanye West showed up at Jay-Z’s star-studded New Year’s Eve after-party. At the party, the duo performed “Runaway” and “Monster” off of Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. At the end of “Monster,” champagne in hand, Kanye made a breaking a stunning announcement, “We got that new, Watch The Throne, comin’ in one week.”

And I thought it’d be a miracle if we saw this thing by March.

Watch The Throne is collaborative EP-turned-LP between the duo initially said to be due out Q1 of 2011. The album is rumored to feature production from Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Madlib, and others.

Is Kanye telling the truth or is the champagne just making him a little more ambitious? We’ll let you make the call. Check out the video above.
