Watch: Jay-Z & Kanye 'Watch the Throne' Behind-The-Scenes Documentary
Guest cameos from Beyoncé and... Russell Crowe.
Wonder what it's like to hang out with high-rollers Jay-Z and Kanye? Wonder no more! A mini-documentary has been released showing intimate moments during the recording process of Watch the Throne, including exchanging man-jewellery bought for each other, doing shots out of chalices, and wining and dining with Beyoncé in a mansion (as an aside, Jay-Z and Beyonce recently topped Forbes' 'World's Highest Paid Celebrity Couples' list, with combined annual earnings of $78 million).
The film features the guys laying down tracks, getting all tense and emotional over finding the right words, and just generally being talented and deep. Interspersed throughout the doco is serene footage of ancient crumbling castles, quiet forests and billowing steam, which adds to the over-all deepness. Look out for a guest appearance from Russell Crowe (not kidding).
(Note that the video did appear on the web last July, but this is the official release.)
