When MTV caught up with Jay-Z, he said, “It depends on how this thing finish up. We — I say ‘we’ because I’m in Throne mode — we’re in a great place creatively. You might see a Jay [album], then Kanye and a Throne album next year. You know, we’re really in a great place creatively. We really found our zone.”

These fellas sure did find their zone. Kanye West was nominated for seven Grammy nominations — more than any other artist this year. While Jay-Z announced yesterday that he plans to hold two charity concerts at Carnegie Hall.
