In accordance with this week’s celebration of his 21st birthday, Soulja Boy releases an EP appropriately titled 21 for those of us who weren’t there to mark the occasion with him. Judging by the song tites all the tracks should make you feel extra swagged out and make you money around if you have it. If you don’t have a stack then just use monopoly money and pretend.

According to an article in page six of today’s NY Post Kanye and his “Big Brother” Hov may not be getting along due to disagreements about tour expenses. Kanye West’s vision is to have a very elaborate and expensive layout for the each show that the two elite rappers do on The Throne tour. West’s desired set up would cost approx. 400K a show. Jay-Z on the other hand already has an agreement with Live Nations in which he must pay back funds budgeted to him by the company for the tour and therefore is being somewhat more of a penny pincher than his Watch The Throne collaborator. More details from the NY Post are as follows:

A battle royal has broken out behind the scenes of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s new album, “Watch the Throne.”

Sources say the rappers — who call themselves The Throne and are releasing their expected blockbuster collaboration Aug. 8 on iTunes and four days later everywhere else — are barely speaking to each other as they iron out the details of their upcoming tour.

Live Nation’s presale event on Thursday was delayed, but tickets for the tour are slated to go on sale today, with shows at the IZOD Center Sept. 27 and 28.

The sources say West wants flashy concerts with “next-level production,” which would cost more than $400,000 per show. Jay-Z is said to be meticulous about costs and already has a larger, long-term advance from Live Nation that he has to pay back.

“Jay-Z can’t deal with Kanye,” an insider told Page Six. “Jay is a stone-cold businessman. He wants to recoup all of his money from Live Nation. But Kanye wants to upstage rock stars with a blowout show. He doesn’t care about costs. He has a lot less to gain from the shows.”

West is expected to agree to the conditions of the tour next week, but the business brouhaha between the powerhouse artists might have affected their backstage relationship.

Industry insiders were shocked to see West and Jay-Z perform separately with Young Jeezy last Monday night at the Highline Ballroom. “We were expecting them to come out together to perform a track from the album,” a source said. “They didn’t even go out together after the show.”

“Jay-Z is fed up with West’s antics,” another source said. “He doesn’t even want to be around him.” However, the two are expected to perform together at a listening party tonight at The Rose Planetarium in Central Park, according to The Post’s Dan Aquilante. A Live Nation rep said, “No comment.” The rappers’ reps didn’t get back to us.

Let’s hope none of these money matters rock the throne to the point where they affect the tour and the overall WTT experience for the two rappers loyal fans. Watch The Throne is out on iTunes August 8th.

Rolling Stone magazine spoke with Wu-Tang’s producer extraordinaire RZA about his work on Jay-Z and Kanye West Watch The Throne album. The RZA produced the song titled “New Day” for the highly highly anticipated collaborative LP.

“I’m really honored to be a part of the project. These two are obviously very capable in their own right, so to include me in this classic project is a testament of how much respect we share for one another. Kanye asked me to send tracks while they were in Australia, I just thought I would send some shit that would be rugged. I know they can find the poppy, hip-hop places, but I wanted to send them some real edgy shit. Apparently they thought they were great – Kanye said, ‘Send some more of that Wu shit!’”

He also went on to say that he was was a fan of Jay-Z’s 2002 joint project with R. Kelly, Best of Both Worlds:

“In the past, when Jay-Z did Best of Both Worlds with R. Kelly, I thought it was a great album but the campaign went south because of personalities. With this project, it’s the best of many worlds. These two guys have a great chemistry and a great relationship. I’m excited.”

That said, we can now all look forward to what’s sure to be some great work on the boards from Bobby Digital. #WuTangTheThrone
