On the heels of our Smackdown on the music world's most influential people, we'll zoom in on two of the biggest players in hip hop: rapper and father-to-be Jay-Z and producer and gadfly Kanye West. Music critic Sophie Harris of Time Out New York and Mojo joins us for a look inside the collaborative album "Watch the Throne." Plus, Sophie's picks for upcoming music that's not to be missed.

The Weeknd is only one young man by the name of Abel Tesfaye. He was consistently referred to as a group throughout the quick mention.
I enjoy listening to hip-hop attempting to be discussed at a "higher" level but you really need to do some more research.
The Weeknd (sic) is one person, not "they".
usually enjoy sophie's reviews however she seems to be a sad example of a critic who's lost her objectivity on the kanye/jayz album. Hanging out with boys seems to have clouded her judgement.
Rap reviews with a British accent, priceless.
When will mumbling on a sone become passe??
Your guest has missed much, MUCH, if she hasn't heard Hip Hop artists discuss family and fatherhood and ya' know adult life.
