He was on the radio and talked about how Jay was going to have an album where he was gonna be traveling from city to city to recruit the Super friends of rap and each song would be produced by and feature rappers from that city or borough east/south/west/Midwest. Wanted cats like Kanye/Dre/RZA/Toomp/Juicy J/Q-Tip/Timbo and a whole bunch of rappers. He thought it would be too much money and hard to perform songs for shows and tours that all featured people so he never finished it...

I remember I think Guru was quoted in an article right after WTT talking about Jay working on a concept album with a concept he couldn't believe nobody had thought of before. This is what I figured it would be. It'd be a great album if done right. Maybe in each city get a young, up and comer, a dude doing his thing in the mainstream currently and a legend.

Edit:
Found it:

Young Guru Speaks On New Jay-Z Album and Watch The Throne Sequel | Complex

"Jay-Z is always working on stuff, it’s a concept that I can’t talk about but I’m marveled at how smart this guy is. When he told me the concept, I was like ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ It was just so simple. It’s not a concept album though. It’s not like American Gangster, it’s not a Beatles concept album. It has a concept and a title, and the title and the concept fit him so well that people are going to be like ‘Wow.’"

Hopefully somebody pulls that off one day. Would really help in establishing young names if they gave a talented unknown a shot in every city
