ON TO THE NEXT ONE...


This vid has to be ranked as one of my top faves of all time, and it comes from none other than one of the most influential, most deft, skilled and versatile rappers of all time, Jay Z Pimpin Sean Carter. DAYYMMN!! I could go on and on about the high-concept artistic scheme and direction and originality of the vid, the lush visual imagery, the dexterous use of symbolism and irony, the seamless infusion of motion and neurosis weaved in with your classic hip hop quintessence, and the fuckin superb aesthetic quality and BEAUTY of this vid (not to mention the sick ass beat and his usual delivery of nimble, hard-hitting lyrics), but I think i'll let the walkin do the talkin.. Young Hovaa!!

this video kinda scares me... its kind of... haunting. That choir in the background, what are they saying? This beat is great but after about 30 seconds I feel like I'm about to walk into a haunted house. If Jay Z's voice wasn't so familiar to me and I heard this in a club I'd be running out leaving my shoes, purse, and water bottle behind!~!!!!!
