nice choice on anthony mandler’s part to put ‘ye in the wrecked vehicle for his shot … or was it unintentional?
Can anybody say illuminati/mason
Meh. Was expecting more but then again, Jay-Z videos always come second (sometimes third) to the music.
Like the song but the video is uhh not to sure about that…
Stay Frosty is 100% correct
dooooooooooooooooooooooope!!!
I like this.
I can’t even think of a great Jay-Z video.
Show Me What You Got
Big Pimpin (Gloria Velez in all white FTW)
Song Cry (Dope concept)
99 Problems
I would go as far as to say that’s possibly the most boring Jay track I’ve heard, even Rihanna’s bestockinged legs can’t rescue the video…
Rihanna>
wtf was that? that video had nothing to do with anything.
great song great vid
Best Jay-Z video when factoring all intangible:
“Give It To Me”
^ yup
the video brings down what little stock the song has.
First impression it feels like it’s Rihanna’s video, everybody else is just features. AND if it wasn’t for her this video would be pretty lame. Song is alright.
Personally, I want to hear what Rihanna’s version sounded like…you know, seeing as how Jay took this song from her (at least, that’s how the story goes).
I’m not really a big fan of her music, but she definitely did her thing on this record, no fronting on that. For the record, I still haven’t watched this yet. I doubt many of you care, just thought that needed to be said.
It is Rihanna’s video… but what does it matter? Where’s it going to get played at?
Song grew on me though.
Illuminati? I’d rather say the anarchy movement. And if it is the anarchy movement I say… HELLZ YYYEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WAAAAAARRRRIIIIOOOOORRRRRSSSSS! COME OUT AND PLAAAAAAAYYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Just kidding, government. Please don’t lobotomize me.
*sighs, cues up something else via itunes*
This shit is strictly average… All the money and he can’t find a good singer, a good producer and a good director…
I dont mind the song or its video. I’m mildly concerned about all the featurings on the album, but otherwise bleh…
I’m just happy Hov got a fucking haircut.
Tupac is in Cuba right now writing a scathing diss track for Jay-Z because Jay-Z did an Apocalyptic video. ” Nigga you seen California Love!!!”
LOL!!
‘Ye looks like the only one in this video with any real energy…from Jay to Rihanna’s lame ass to the extras on the set… no one has any energy and, in my opinion, it loooked like it was supposed to be some rowdy anarchist crowd poised to take over. Kanye’s verse >>> Jay’s, Kanye’s scenes>>>> anyone else’s
I still like this song.
Can anyone name a less likely celebrity anarchist than Jay-Z?
bad.ass.
love it.
enjoy seeing kanye as 2nd fiddle to jay like back in the day. hey.
The video is so-so at best. Not to down the director or whoever but they could have put way more thought and less extras in this video. From me hearing the song alone I could have told you to go the American Gangster direction. The Vid should have opened with Beyonce and Rihanna in a mansion upset bout some trouble that Kanye had got in while B is on the phone, trying to get Jay-z (i guess a pseudo Don, reigning over the city) to tell her what happened with the lil brother while he gets patched up in the background. All jay would do is tell her to stay calm (Like a OG) and he’ll take care of it. Then he tells the driver to take him to jail and then the song would start with Rihanna going off somewhere crying while singing the hook and Jay’s two verses would basically be of him riding to the precinct and getting put in the holding cell while getting the royal treatment. Kanye’s verse would start with him running away. When he starts rapping he’ll be trying avoid the shooters but somehow he would end up taking a shell to the arm or something while trying to get away. then the vid would go back to when he was getting patched up (splish splash some extra footage of them all at church in here) and he’ll get up to go get Jay out, then he would start telling Jay what happened (they should pass a couple surprised “thugs/killers/dealers” and on the last few lines of his verse you’ll see a clip of him landing a solid haymaker on one of the guys after him. When the song closes you’ll see Kanye and Jay driving away in a maybach. I would tell you to put some sort of betrayal somewhere in the mix but that might make people think too much. (Damn this post is long hahaha)
Another idea would to pay homage to the movie the Warriors with Jay as Cyrus and Ye fighting at the end
California Love Part. 2? But crappier
I like the video. Simple is the new CGI heavy greened-screen crap that is like the visual equivilant of the auto-tune. Ri Ri=sexy as fuk. Kayne’s energy carries the 2nd half of the video. Like the video more than the actual song.
damn….yall nitpick like a motherfucker…for real.
lol….this is nice…nothing more, nothing less.
