cosign #4
Either 1 of two things is going on in this video
1 Jay is mocking the fact that people alledge he is part of the masons
or
2 The nigga is embracing it and letting everyone know who knows what it is that he rides wit em
Either way u dont need to be too bright to see the symbolism in the video

I believe in the mason shit but #21 you got the lyrics wrong and the sayer wrong ….
The person saying those words is prodigy of Mobb Deep … seriously you need to read more in depth about the illuminati, lyrics, symbolism. Im a believer that its real but you need to get your facts right and stop looking stupid so you wont make everyone else look stupid.

Great song from what will b the best album of the year but the video wasnt all that. jay-z is the GOAT no doubt, but what the hell was the story/plot of the video? it was just random scenes put together. rihanne’s leg’s were on point though. i’d eat the hell outta her.

Illuminati wants my mind, soul and my body
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^’
Isn’t this one of the lines jay ..took from pac ? … oh and i’ll have to agree , this video is wacc . it doesn’t match .the song at all ..listen to what jay is rapping about ..it doesn’t ..fit in .. he’s rappin about money ..and playing spades .. i woulda thought ..this video would have taken place .inside a casino ..or somethin …but then ..kayne .verse throws it off also ..because .while jay is rapping about money ..kanye verse is more personal.. ..so this video gets a 0 .. song is still dope.
08.20.09 at 12:30 am
yo
are we going to talk about the illuminati everytime something with Hov comes on? The shyt is getting dumb old.

Damn, why do people think its cool to hate? There’s a difference between people having opinions and people hating. Some of you all are some straight haters. Jay Z is a GOAT and you cant do nothing about it. The video is dope – no shiny cars, no hoes bouncin around and no money being thrown at the camera. And the song is dope, Rihanna, Kanye and Jay all killed it. Appreciate good music and if you don’t like it, click stop on the vid and hit the back button on your browser and move on.

damn, this video is even boring on fast forward. some of you actually sat here and watched all 5 minutes of it? c’mon, every vid Jigga puts out feels like he’s trying more and more to stay relevant. to appeal to a younger crowd/demographic. i’m not saying there’s anything wrong with evolving, but he looks awkward most of the time. like he’s just trying way too hard. that’s why, IN MY HONEST OPINION, Jay will NEVER be the greatest of all time. he’s not an innovator, he’s a follower. one who latches onto things, desperately, once they’re already played and dead. the illuminati/freemasonry symbolism is apparent, but he’s doing what Boogi said: either mocking everyone’s constant conspiracy theories or flat-out embracing it. the main question is why is he wearing a jacket with Mao Zedong on it? supporting a Chinese communist leader now? what’s next, supporting Hugo Chavez or Kim Jon-Il?? c’mon Hova, check yourself, big homie.
on a final note, DAMN Rihanna looks bomb in those acid washed jeans!! how a man could lay a hand on something that fine is beyond me. the “Pon de Replay” gril has come a long way!!

DJSTIZZY
SOME OF YOU DON’T LIKE THE VIDEO BECAUSE YOU LACK INSIGHT AND OR DON’T UNDERSTAND SYMBOLISM. IT’S IN ESSENCE OR ON THE SURFACE ABOUT STARTING AT THE BOTTOM AS … AND CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN IN LIFE OR A CAREER, REACHING THE TOP, AND PLANTING A NEW BEGINING THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF… PUTING YOUR FLAG THERE EXCLAIMING THIS IS YOUR TURF, I.E. YOU RUN THIS TOWN. AND IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THAT, THERE WAS CRAZY SYMBOLISM AND THEATRICAL ENTENDRES. FURTHERMORE, KANYE’S VERSE IS NOT ON POINT AND REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONCEPT OF THE SONG, WHICH IS A NEW BEGINNING. W
“WE ARE YES I SAID WE ARE, THIS IS ROC NATION, PLEGE YOUR ALLEGIANCE
AND AT THE END EVEN RHI RHI THROWS UP THE DIAMOND.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IS SHE GONNA SIGN TO ROC NATION. HE DID SAY WE ARE.
EVEN RHI RHI’S CHORUS IS ON POINT WITH CONCEPT OF SONG.
08.20.09 at 3:06 am
WTF
im sittin here high and still cant figure out the point or the lyrics or concept other then a rebellious looking crew of international people wearing all black attire with a coupe million dollar entertainers lyrically saying what…im lost.

This is a feel good video…
It’s like some war is about to start and the LEADERS are the these 3 dudes…
I like the video, the chorus is on point… Rhi Rhi did her thing… i dont like Jay-Z’s verses that much, but the dude is smart, i feel like he knows what he’s doing, normally when rapperz try to murk some other dudes with verses, the song doesnt turn out well, and maybe Jay thought Ye should shine on this song…. cause really, we know what Jay is capable of…

Ya’ll are some of the most critisizing people ever. I got an idea become any type of MOGUL. I won’t even challenge you to making better music, because if you rapped you wouldn’t be blogging right now. Real talk instead of hating outdue Jay-z, Rhianna and Kanye. Cause the minute you do the people who haven’t made it anywhere will be on here running your name through the dirt. game proper

THE VIDEO AND SONG ARE ABOUT A NEW BEGINNING. AN ARTIST, JAY Z WHO STARTED FROM BOTTOM, ROSE TO THE TOP AS AN ARTIST, NOW HE IS PLANTING HIS OWN FLAG. HE IS NO LONGER UNDER THE CONTROL OF UNIVERSAL MUSIC
Feel it coming in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I’m addicted to the the thrill (I’m Ready)
It’s a dangerous love affair (C’mon)
Can’t be scaring nickels down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that’s on my mind
Is who gon’ run this town tonight
Is who gon’ run this town tonight
We gon’ run this town (PERFECT CHORUS LYRIC-WISE RELEVANT TO SONG THEME)
Jay-Z
We are, yeah, I said it, we are (HE, KANYE, AND RHI RHI ARE ROC NATION ARTIST)
This is Roc Nation, pledge your allegiance (GANG IN VIDEO SYMBOLIZE HIS FOLLOWER OR ARTIST)
Get y’all fatigues on, all black everything (NINJAS WARRIORS IN VIDEO, ITS A TAKEOVER)
Black cards, black cars, all black everything (BLACK REPS MYSTERY, NINJA WARRIOR)
And our girls are blackbirds, riding with they Dillingers (GIRLS WITH THEIR DILLINGERS/CROOK)
I get more in-depth if you boys really real enough (FROM PUBLIC ENEMIES/JOHNNY DEPP)
This is La Familia, I’ll explain later(THIS IS THE FAMILY BUT HE’S GONNA TELL U SIGNEES LATER)
But for now, let me get back to this paper(BUT I GOTTA MAKE THIS MONEY BACK)
I’m a couple bands down and I’m tryna get back(I GAVE AWAY ALOTTA BANDS OF MONEY)
I gave Doug a grip, I lost a flip for five stacks( GAVE DOUG MORRIS 4MIL, LOST A FLIP FOR XTRA MIL
Yeah, I’m talking five comma six zeroes dot zero ?(HE TALKIN 5,000,000.00 HE PAID FOR RITES BP3)
Back to running circles ’round niggas, now we squared up(NOW HE’S A FREE MAN AND CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS)
Hold up
Rihanna
Life’s a game but it’s not fair
I break the rules so I don’t care
So I keep doing my own thing
Walking tall against the rain
Victory’s within the mile
Almost there, don’t give up now
Only thing that’s on my mind
Is who gon’ run this town tonight
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Who gon’ run this town tonight?
Jay-Z
We are, yeah, I said it, we are (AGAIN IS KANYE AND RHI RHI GONNA SIGN)
You can call me Caesar, in a dark Caesar (CAESAR/EMPEROR/CONQUEROR IN A DARK HAIRCUT/CAESAR)
Please follow the leader, so Eric B we are(ENTENDRE FOLLOW HIM AS U DID ERIC B AND RAKIM)
Microphone fiend, it’s the return of the God, peace God(LYRICS ARE AGELESS
And ain’t nobody fresher(WHILE YAW WEAR SKINNY JEAN, HE WEARS FASHION U NEVER HEAR OF)
I’m in Maison, uh, Martin Margiela ( A DESIGNER THAT HAS BOOTS AND SHOES AND PANTS FOR A GRAND AND AN ENTENDRE BECAUSE HE’S SUPPOSEDLY A MASON)
On the table, screaming f@#k the other side, they jealous(HATERS JOCKIN JAY Z JUST TALK BS)
We got a bankhead full of broads, they got a table full of fellas(GOT BADDEST CHICK IN GAMES U GOT UR BOYS)
And they ain’t spendin’ no cake( (THEY BROKE WHILE HE MAKES POWER MOVES-GAME,JIMMY,DAME)
They should throw they hand in, ’cause they ain’t got no spades(STOP, UR BROKE, IM TRUMPING U I GOT ALL SPADES AND IM DRINKIN ACE OF SPADES SYMBOLICALLY)
My whole team got dough( WE ALL MADE IT WHILE MOST OF DIPSET AND HATERS ARE BROKE)
So my bankhead is lookin’ like Millionaires’ Row(ENTENDRE BANKHEAD MILLIONAIRE’S FROW)
Rihanna
Life’s a game but it’s not fair
I break the rules so I don’t care
So I keep doing my own thing
Walking tall against the rain
Victory’s within the mile
Almost there, don’t give up now
Only thing that’s on my mind
Is who gon’ run this town tonight
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Who gon’ run this town tonight?
Kanye West
It’s crazy how you can go from being Joe Blow
To everybody on your dick, no homo
I bought my whole family whips, no Volvos
Next time I’m in church, please no photos
Police escorts, everybody passports
This the life that everybody ask for
This a fast life, we are on a crash course
What you think I rap for? To push a f@#kin’ Rav 4?
But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon’ want one thing
I could spend my whole life good will hunting
Only good gon’ come is it’s good when I’m coming
She got an ass that’ll swallow up her G-string
And up top, uh, two bee stings
And I’m beasting, off the re-sling
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
I’m just tryna change the color on your mood ring
Reebok, baby, you need to try some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoestrings?
What’s that, Ye? Baby, these heels
Is that a May-what? Baby, these wheels
You trippin’ when you ain’t sippin’, have a refill
You feelin’ like you run it, huh?
Now you know how we feel
Rihanna
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Heeeeeeeeey heeeeeeay
Who gon’ run this town tonight?
Jay-Z
Wha’sup?
JAY Z WEARS THE JACKET OF MARXIST MAO ZEDONG WHICH WAS MADE BY DESIGNER MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA. MAO WENT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHINA. ENTENDRE AND METAPHOR HERE. JAY IS GOING AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE RECORD INDUSTRY, UNIVERSAL RECORDS. JUST AS MAO REBELLED JAY IS DOING. IN THE VIDEO HE HAS HIS GANG OF WARRIORS AKA ROC NATION. THEY ARE READY TO REBELL, READY FOR WAR. THEY HAVE ON FATIGUES AND ALL BLACK EVERYTHING. THEY ARE FIERCE NINJAS, THE MOST DEADLIEST OF KILLERS. THEY HAVE PLEDGED THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO HOV, RHI RHI IAND OTHA WOMEN IN HIS CAMP ARE BLACK BIRDS/ RARE CHILLIN WITH THEIR DILLINGERS/WARRIOR/CROOK/GUN. HIS FIRST LADY AND HIS GENERAL. THE WORD TOWN SYMBOLIZES CHINA AS MAO LED REBELLION IN CHINA.
JAY Z’S VERSE TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT.
THERE IS SO MANY MORE THEATRICAL ENTENDRES AND METAPHORES ITS REDICULOUS
. KANYE ISNT EVEN ON JAY Z’S LEVEL.
THE BARS I HEAR KANYE SPIT ON THIS TRACK ARE SOMETING THAT CASSIDY WOULD HAVE DONE 4 YEARS AGO. HE DOES THOSE TYPES OF PUNCHLINES TOO MUCH. AND THOSE PUNCHLINES REALLY DONT HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH RUNNING THIS TOWN OR HENCE
THE TAKEOVER!
HE WENT OVER YAW HEAD!!!!

ONCE AGAIN FOR YAW TOO STUPID TO READ OR KNOW ABOUT FASHION,
MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA IS A FASHION DESIGNER AND THE JACKET HE’S WEARING OF MAO IN VIDEO IS MADE BY HIM.
CAESAR IN A DARK CAESAR/EMPEROR/ KINDA LIKE THE MARXIST MAO WHO HAD AN ARMY WHICH HOV HAS IN VIDEO. IT’S THE TAKEOVER. THIS VIDEO MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Question, have yall heard the new Juvenile song???
After i heard that i realised a few things-
This Jay, Kanye, Rihanna song aint good at all and..
Drake aint shit…and..
Juve is the best from the old Cash Money
I dont even like RnB Hiphop songs like that but, this song here, Juvenile ft Pleasure P, “Hands on you” is the very definition of a summer smash.
i said so
RTNY, yall need to post that right now
Juve

killuminati
all the political comments are on point, this is getting so weird.
first we see him in a satanic aleister crowley tshirt now he has a mao jacket which supports socialism which is exactly what the illuminati are pushing for in America.
Becuz socialism is the quickest way to implement fascist global feudalism. Anyone who denies that jayz is working for illuminati after seeing this is just plain uneducated in history. Mao is estimated to have murdered 100 million Asians.
this guy is 1000% pushing a New World Order Illuminati agenda. but we are awake & im proud to see so many intelligent political posts here. there is hope!

Great Vid…i like it, fits the theme to me n its symbolism…if u still a Hov fan after all these years u will get it…if not oh well. Its nutin wrong wit sayin u dont like it, but when u add all the extra nonsense u begin to showcase ur inner hater…its like when RT place sum new cat on here nobody feelin the guy gets no comments ppl wont even click on it…but if its Jay n u kno u dont like him, u still click on it and hate…now that my friends is a hater…and please stop with the mason illumanati stuff, who u recruitin to join u in yo lameness…get a life!

and another thing I go check out mtv hottest mc in the game and Em is in the lead…nobody criticizes em for anything but u know y none of us really care whether he puts out good or bad stuff…em put out 2 videos i didnt like any of them did ppl go crazy bout them, no…did ppl go crazy bout his singles,no…we dont pay em no mind, but all his white fans ride or die for him n make him number 1…with Jay he got his loyal fans but then he got all these haters that dont like him just cuz he successful…when its said n done Jay has done way more for rap than Em and gave us timeless music but if it was left to fans to pick btw the two, Em wud prolly get that trophy cuz clowns like yall wud not support Jay n support sum1 else not even given him his props…n all Em supporters will ride wit him or nobody at all….smh at u ppl

@ djstiz same thing I said with the double meanings in his lyrics…lol…is tough to follow Hov…cause you don’t know what he means half the times…
but ur right on point i just didn’t wanna type all that shit…
Is like when he did that freestyle “grammy family” when he goes off…”inspired by boesky”…blah blah …people don’t even know what is he talking about hahaha…and is all about that movie in the 80′s…about that greedy stock broker…I think most of the time Hov just spits out of inspiration…or based on what he sees…is not like boxy made up shit…u know…? interesting and fun shit if u think about it…cause his lyrics have so much symbolism…
08.20.09 at 12:57 pm
County Of Kings
dumb niggas can only follow videos wit hoes and cars and guns, that’s very easy to understand but god forbid a nigga makes u think a lil bit. clearly the video is stating that this city, hiphop city is in anarchy annd chaos, like that kurt russe flick escape from la. and his team is the leaders of these poor misguided masses runnin around in disaray looking for watever they can get they hands on. those ppl are the rest of the rap game and jay ye and ri are in command of this so get down or lay down. and since when did yall expect so much from a jay video, jay has always been awkward and wierd and his vids were ALWAYS average. talkin that illuminati shit, u sound mad stupid, u yourself don’t even know wat u talkin bout, if u really knew anything you would know that your wayyyyyy off target. cuz the illuminati goals is to control all the black ppl in the ghetto so they’ll use jayz, wat is he secretly forcing us to do? we have no power so were worthless to those up top we cann even get along wit ourselves they see us as useless animals. dickheads

yall talkin about symbolism, from the 1st preview jump off, I got a vibe like he bringing back that whole concept of underground. like he bringin that underground shit back. like back to some real shit, cause that’s where it came from. like wearing all black is symbolizing fuck all that trendy colorful shit. he bringing back that gutter shit that real shit. I remember DMX’s get at me dog was all black and white too. gutter type vibes.

THANKS. I HAD TO EXPLAIN CUZ HOV IS THAT DUDE AND THERE WAS TOO MUCH BASHING. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE SONG, I DIDN’T GET IT. THEN I BROKE IT DOWN AND SAW THE ENTENDRES METAPHORS AND SYMBOLISM. HE IS A GENUIS.

on the real, for yall believing and bringing up that illuminati shit, yall sound like a bunch a douchebags. get yall facts straight and stop following these preachers on youtube. this ain’t 96, in the 90′s that illuminati shit broke out into the rap world to wake people up, now yall sayin the same people in it are in the freemasons and shit. yall young kids is unguided bringing up that jay-z song d’evils. can’t yall just take it as just a clever song. “D’evils”, jay talkin bout all the evil shit and just titled it like “devils”(D’evils). that’s it simple as that. you can conspire all day, but if you ain’t doing shit to solve this conspiracy problem, yall just sound corny cause we heard it all before. The jay-z connection is just plain fuckin stupid.

“as black people are we programmed to hate on any other black people who are successful????!!!!!”
ACTUALLY THE MAJORITY OF THE ‘HATE’ YOU SEE IS YOUR INABILITY TO ACCEPT PEOPLE HAVING AND EXPRESSING DIFFERENT TASTES AND OPINIONS,SO IRONICALLY IT IS -YOU- WHO IS HATING IN HERE.
THE VIDEO IS 50/50,IT DID NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS BUT I THINK THE MAJORITY OF JAY-Zs FAN BASE WILL BE PLEASED BY THE OVERALL PRODUCT.THE CONCEPT HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH SO IT DOESN’T HAVE A ‘FRESH’ LOOK NOR FEEL TO IT,AND THIS CAN BE SEEN AS A DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE OVERALL TONE AND MESSAGE OF THE BP3.
BUT AT THE END OF IT ALL IT SUITS THE SOURCE MATERIAL,UNLIKE ‘THE BEST I EVER HAD’ VIDEO,THEY PLAYED IT SAFE ON THIS AND I THINK JAYZs FAN BASE IS MATURE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE VIDEO AIMS TO ESTABLISH.ADD IN RIHANNA AND KANYE WEST,AND THERE’S NO DOUBT THE VIDEO WILL BE IN DEMAND FOR A WHILE.
I THINK IT WILL TURN OUT LIKE THIS;THE OLDER HIPHOP FAN BASE WILL THOROUGHLY ENJOY THIS VIDEO,THE NEWER HIPHOP FAN BASE WILL REACT APATHETICALLY TO THE PRODUCT.YOU’RE SEEING THIS VERY REACTION IN THIS VERY COMMENT SECTION SO LET’S SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT FROM HERE.

@ djstiz – nice work my man. thanks for breaking it down for these fools. if people cant respect those lyrics then they are simply too dumb to understand and can’t feel real hip hop. give them a few years, they’ll figure it out.

This video is sicker than sick. I just heard Jay went #3 on the Billboard 100. Jigga’s the greatest to ever do it! HANDS DOWN. Rihanna killed the hook, Hov verse was on whole another level, and Kanye spazzed out on this song! This video is classic!1

@djstiz. I appreciate the breakdown. I like the song more now cuz I want to hear and catch all the diff. things Jay throws @ us. If Jay’s book breaks down his lyrics like this I wanna read it now!! I believe Jay is inspired by things he runs across on a daily basis such as a movie he recently watched or popular media topics. If you are not up on your reading or movies or history then yeah Jay is just some old guy rapping about his paper and broads. The mond is a terrible thing to waste. Catch up haters.

Pac said it best “niggas gone hate you for whatever you do”.
The new trend is tying Jay into the Masons/illuminati.
Niggas love a good conspiracy.

get the beef out ya mouth
@#62 can u take the meat out ya mouth now or later???? OMG jay-z is great.. but its not that serious bro. Its Not complex enough for you to write out every bar as if its hieroglyphics, get a grip, its put in lame man’s terms so silly people like u can feel like scholars.. Just Enjoy the music and relax its a cool record… The verses will not have to have a movie directed by Ron Howard starring Tom Hanks…

I’m sorry for you haters it didn’t have enough hip-hop video stereotypes for you geez people read between the lines clearly the video is showing symbolism i guess jay would have to dumb it down for you stupid hating ass niggas.

They did this video already and it’s much better so WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NIGGA HYPIN THIS VIDEO FOR? THIS NIGGA JUST CARE ABOUT MONEY WAKE UP PEOPLE. I would appreciate this if they just put it out like a normal video supposed to be but they act LIKE THIS IS SPECIAL WHEN IT’S JUST AN AVERAGE SONG
JAY-Z hypes too much he’s too cocky. NAS is humble and he wont even act like this. He do music for the poor. and this GAY-Z is all about cockyness. FUCK GAY-Z

THANKS FOR REITERATING THAT WHICH I HAVE ALREADY SAID. IT’S THE QUADRUPLE ENTENDRES, METAPHORS AND SYMBOLISM. ALL OF THE SYMBOLISM IN THIS VIDEO MAKES IT AN ARTISTIC PIECE OF WORK. ITS NOT ABOUT FANCY CARS GIRLS AND MONEY ON THE SURFACE BUT RATHER A STRUGGLE TO CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY, PLANTING YOUR OWN SEED, GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN, BECOMING A LEADER, OBAMAISM, METAPHORIC MANIFEST DESTINY AND… A COUP, I.E.

PLEASE, KANYE’S LYRICS ARE SO ELEMENTARY AND NURSERY RHYTHMIC, HOWEVER THEY ARE SO APROPO FOR THIS GENERATION OF IGNORAMUSES. YOU FOOLS WOULD TALK ABOUT HIM IF HE MADE A VIDEO ABOUT HIGH PRICED CARS, MONEY, AND VIDEO CHICKS BUT NOW THAT HE HAS MADE A VIDEO FILLED WITH SYMBOLISM, YOU STILL CRITSIZE.

I wont say fuck Pac cuz he one of my fav rappers but lets be foreal listen to how complex Jay’s lyrics niggas dont even get his lyrics til u really study it u didnt have to do that wit Pac
08.21.09 at 11:13 pm
NEGRO PLEA$E!!!
This song sucks…period. I’ve heard it on the radio once or twice. 1.7/10. The Rihanna chrous is annoying, Jay’s rhymes are tired, and Kanye’s was average nothing special. I really don’t see the hype over this or D.O.A (also a weak song.) He’s made way better music. I like Jay, but he really dissapointed me on this one.

YOU DON’T GET IT! IT’S FUN TO LISTEN TO MUSIC AND REALIZE THAT THERE ARE QUADRUPLE ENTENDRES, METAPHORS AND SYMBOLISM IN IT. ITS NOT AN EVERYDAY CORNER BOY RAP. EVERY BAR HAS RELEVANCE AND EXPLAINS HIS PLIGHT. ITS EASY TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT BS OR UNTRUTHFULLNESS. THIS SONG IS PURE HONESTY AND VERY DEEP.

The video was corny. The song is ok. Rihanna’s part was horrible, she’s only there for star appeal. I do believe Jay-Z is into something satanic. Theres nothing wrong with liking his music, just dont worship the nigga or any other celebrity is all Im saying.

jay-z is my favorite rapper hands down!! Tupac was a amazing artist as well. But jay isn’t no Tupac by a long shot. Pac was the best to ever touch a mic. He had flow charm lyrics and image everything, except he wasn’t a bussinessman, and he’s jew friends were about to change that. But THEY killed him. LUCKY U. Back to Young God Devil i mean jay-z He is great at satanic mind games like rubbing his sholder and in between throwing up the devils horn. Little snicky things to acknowledge his illluminati friends. i don’t agree with it but thats him.! Sooner or LATER god a cut you down!!!!! Oh and if we really gone run this town make sure they can’t and don’t blow us all up at once cause im down for the REV. shit lets take it back we built it. WUZUP jigga man!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you peole are ridiculous. Hov has dumbed down his flow to compliment your ears and slow catching minds, all the while spitting lyrics with a level of complexity unmatched. Even when he seems to be spititng regular bars he is speaking on a whole nother subject “i’m talkin 5 comma 6 zeros dot zeros nigga” How can you not appreciate such lyrical prowess? How can you not applaud such creative genuis and pure artistry? This is not me dick riding, this is me giving due props. You DO NOT have to like him but to short change him in terms of respect is retarded. Some people like magic johnson more than jordan but they know who the G.O.A.T is. . . why can’t people do that in hip-hop.

Anyone who agrees with #62 is a RETARD and THE MOST NAIVE person in the world. Jay-z is a fucking evil ass man! He is IN MAISON like he clearly said! See this is a topic that’s way too deep for some simple minded people, like ANYONE who likes Jay-z. Tupac is dead because he knew what jay-z was. He knew what he was up to, and he didn’t agree. So they killed him. Understand that maisons are some of the richest and powerful people in the world. They can do whatever they want. I just hate how forward this video is in expressing the beliefs of maisons. Don’t nobody wanna see that shit! I want to be a happy person, not some evil, money hungry, trader ass nigga like JAY-Z. I just don’t get it! God loves us so much…how could his own children be so stupid enough to worship LUCIFER. But FYI, he’ll never win.

the man is straight up illuminati. And the name of rocafella is straight up illuminati. IF he was smart, and new what the rockafeller family has done, he wouldn’t be praising them that is for sure. Most of their clothes have skull and crossbone symbols and all seeing eye symbols. Or winged god symbols. The man is straight up mason, no doubt about it. And now they dress up all in black. Rock 33′s.. I can’t chill to that music anymore. Way to sell your soul J.

First, snitches!! Don’t you just love the Internet?
Shit fire…BP3 lookin official (I ain’t even watch it yet. I just wanna even out the clowns who gon come on here wit the “Camel” shit & the “old” shit & all that. Worried bout a nigga looks & age, smh, homo moves no doubt)
World world WORLD Premiere..BET lol
Lots of symbolism in this VID……..Hind in plain site “huh” Jay-z……Mason
Atleast JayZ Dont Look That Old.. lol I Like The Song Only Cause Of Kanye.. The Beat Is Crazy & The Chorus Is Okay But Rihanna’s WACK With Her No Talented Asss & The Vid Is Kinda Boring!!.. lol
Fuck you # 5 Temp
Something different, feelin’ it though.
It was aiight, wont a suprise cause so many snippets were released but the song is good
I have to cosign with #5 the video is wack and boring, but I like the song and actually like jay-z’s verse better than kanye. He could have done a way way better video than this!!!
Them 3 couldn’t run Burbank with that tired track…but ok, RiRi looks good, Jay Z ‘s skin looks really good, and Kanye, we have heard that drama before same whine, same words…got the whole g string we saw your barbie doll strolling..TIRED!
but ok, no homo, I’m a chick…it’s for sure no homo
haha @ AC.. I Noticed That Too!!!
& @ Lanier NOOO FUCK You.. No Need To Get Mad Im Just Stating My Own Opinion You Loser!!
Pac did this video already….and his was much better.
this shit is cornball status,
and nigga had Mao on the back of his jacket, whats that about?
what the fuck was this video about DAMN JAY Z IS DONE SIT YOUR OLD ASS DOWN NIGGA
AND RIHANNA LOOKING VERY UGLY IN THEIS VIDEOO
Song is hotter than the video!
its the ROC!!!
But its the dynasty baby!
It’s cool. Nothing special. Maybe after I watch it again, I’ll have another opinion.
Fuck u too # 13 master
Fuck Jay-Z…
Stop copying Pac and Big. Your career is ova old ass homo.
cosign #4
Either 1 of two things is going on in this video
1 Jay is mocking the fact that people alledge he is part of the masons
or
2 The nigga is embracing it and letting everyone know who knows what it is that he rides wit em
Either way u dont need to be too bright to see the symbolism in the video
“Illuminati got my mind soul and my body” -Hov

agree wit boogi and the video is boring and the song is wack
video is straight, people keep underestimated Jay-z’s second verse, the shyt is a classic 16.
Dear God, I wonder can you save me
Illuminati wants my mind, soul and my body,
Dear God, I wonder can you save me
Secret Society, tryin to keep an eye on me
I believe in the mason shit but #21 you got the lyrics wrong and the sayer wrong ….
The person saying those words is prodigy of Mobb Deep … seriously you need to read more in depth about the illuminati, lyrics, symbolism. Im a believer that its real but you need to get your facts right and stop looking stupid so you wont make everyone else look stupid.
Interesting vid…can’t remember the last time jay-z put this much effort into a video
# 19 2 Pac… ummmmmm… Im sorry to inform you but your dead so your opinion doesnt matter so just go back to your cotch wherever u at now. .. LOLOLOLOLOL BIG JOKE!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!
Great song from what will b the best album of the year but the video wasnt all that. jay-z is the GOAT no doubt, but what the hell was the story/plot of the video? it was just random scenes put together. rihanne’s leg’s were on point though. i’d eat the hell outta her.
#25 im sorry get off Jay-Z’s dick 2Pac put him in his place a long time ago.
Interesting vid…can’t remember the last time jay-z put this much effort into a video
I would say probably say… damn… I dont even know. I would say show me what you got was a dope video too but i dont kno. U got a point there tho.
The song deff hotter than the video. Video real cheap for three top selling artists.
Kanye’s stole the track Ri Ri had good vocals average bars from J.
@22 fuck outta hea
so what i switched a “wants” with a “gots”…groupie ass nigga
u muthafukin internet spell checking, blog lurking,too busy correcting than getting pussy ass NIGGA…

Illuminati wants my mind, soul and my body
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^’
Isn’t this one of the lines jay ..took from pac ? … oh and i’ll have to agree , this video is wacc . it doesn’t match .the song at all ..listen to what jay is rapping about ..it doesn’t ..fit in .. he’s rappin about money ..and playing spades .. i woulda thought ..this video would have taken place .inside a casino ..or somethin …but then ..kayne .verse throws it off also ..because .while jay is rapping about money ..kanye verse is more personal.. ..so this video gets a 0 .. song is still dope.
are we going to talk about the illuminati everytime something with Hov comes on? The shyt is getting dumb old.
The people who are talking about illuminati …do you even know what illuminati is?? lol
WE REALLY DIDN’T NEED ALL THEM DAMN PREVIEWS THE VIDEO WAS JUST OKAY, VERY OVERHYPED. THE VIDEO IS LIKE THE TRACK. GOOD AT TIMES OKAY AT BEST. NEXT TIME JAY JUST DROP THE DAMN VIDEO.
video is so boring!! only checked it because of Rihanna!
speaking of Rihanna, goddamn she’s fineee!! Chris Brown is a FOOL. Only time I’d beat that is in the bedroom. whoaaaa!! and that pic with the JEANS. D-D-D-DAMN!
I really liked it!
Fuck the video how bout those pics below
Golly looking Rihanna in those pictures
What is illuminati? What are Free Masons all about? Anyways, did you guys see towards the beginning where the flames like went down Jay’s body, like he was getting a scan standing up?
My bad, the flames were behind him
Jigga Was Muggin’ Hard At The End!! Gangsta Ish!!!
[www.youtube.com]
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GET THE FUCK OFF THE SCREEN!!! JAY WANTS TO GET WITH THE TIMES BUT HE DOESNT KNO HOW 2. WHICH IS VERYY APPARENT. HE IS STILL A TOP M.C BUT TO CALL HIM THE BEST NOW IS PURE ” NUT SWINGING”
as black people are we programmed to hate on any other black people who are successful????!!!!!
^stfu. the vid is cool, it doesnt move me tho.
Damn, why do people think its cool to hate? There’s a difference between people having opinions and people hating. Some of you all are some straight haters. Jay Z is a GOAT and you cant do nothing about it. The video is dope – no shiny cars, no hoes bouncin around and no money being thrown at the camera. And the song is dope, Rihanna, Kanye and Jay all killed it. Appreciate good music and if you don’t like it, click stop on the vid and hit the back button on your browser and move on.
Blueprint 3 in stores Sept. 11. Support real hip hop and the God MC and buy it at the store.
THE VIDEO IS OKAY….
That’s what I’m sayin’ freddy oolip, just people everywhere. Can’t even see
drive a stake in they heart//assholes aint got the heart//talk just a lil too much//
i honestly still aint even sure i can comprehend this vid i swear to GOD!
love it! great!
damn, this video is even boring on fast forward. some of you actually sat here and watched all 5 minutes of it? c’mon, every vid Jigga puts out feels like he’s trying more and more to stay relevant. to appeal to a younger crowd/demographic. i’m not saying there’s anything wrong with evolving, but he looks awkward most of the time. like he’s just trying way too hard. that’s why, IN MY HONEST OPINION, Jay will NEVER be the greatest of all time. he’s not an innovator, he’s a follower. one who latches onto things, desperately, once they’re already played and dead. the illuminati/freemasonry symbolism is apparent, but he’s doing what Boogi said: either mocking everyone’s constant conspiracy theories or flat-out embracing it. the main question is why is he wearing a jacket with Mao Zedong on it? supporting a Chinese communist leader now? what’s next, supporting Hugo Chavez or Kim Jon-Il?? c’mon Hova, check yourself, big homie.
on a final note, DAMN Rihanna looks bomb in those acid washed jeans!! how a man could lay a hand on something that fine is beyond me. the “Pon de Replay” gril has come a long way!!
I Uploaded It On YouTube For RTNY

df ? ..why df is my comments always awaiting moderation ?
SOME OF YOU DON’T LIKE THE VIDEO BECAUSE YOU LACK INSIGHT AND OR DON’T UNDERSTAND SYMBOLISM. IT’S IN ESSENCE OR ON THE SURFACE ABOUT STARTING AT THE BOTTOM AS … AND CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN IN LIFE OR A CAREER, REACHING THE TOP, AND PLANTING A NEW BEGINING THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF… PUTING YOUR FLAG THERE EXCLAIMING THIS IS YOUR TURF, I.E. YOU RUN THIS TOWN. AND IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THAT, THERE WAS CRAZY SYMBOLISM AND THEATRICAL ENTENDRES. FURTHERMORE, KANYE’S VERSE IS NOT ON POINT AND REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONCEPT OF THE SONG, WHICH IS A NEW BEGINNING. W
“WE ARE YES I SAID WE ARE, THIS IS ROC NATION, PLEGE YOUR ALLEGIANCE
AND AT THE END EVEN RHI RHI THROWS UP THE DIAMOND.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IS SHE GONNA SIGN TO ROC NATION. HE DID SAY WE ARE.
EVEN RHI RHI’S CHORUS IS ON POINT WITH CONCEPT OF SONG.
im sittin here high and still cant figure out the point or the lyrics or concept other then a rebellious looking crew of international people wearing all black attire with a coupe million dollar entertainers lyrically saying what…im lost.
all these previews for this wack ass video
There is so many reasons to not like this track, whether its Hovs subpar bars, or Rihanna’s irritating yodle.
This is a feel good video…
It’s like some war is about to start and the LEADERS are the these 3 dudes…
I like the video, the chorus is on point… Rhi Rhi did her thing… i dont like Jay-Z’s verses that much, but the dude is smart, i feel like he knows what he’s doing, normally when rapperz try to murk some other dudes with verses, the song doesnt turn out well, and maybe Jay thought Ye should shine on this song…. cause really, we know what Jay is capable of…
Setempbter 11th, Blueprint 3…
Ya’ll are some of the most critisizing people ever. I got an idea become any type of MOGUL. I won’t even challenge you to making better music, because if you rapped you wouldn’t be blogging right now. Real talk instead of hating outdue Jay-z, Rhianna and Kanye. Cause the minute you do the people who haven’t made it anywhere will be on here running your name through the dirt. game proper
If people think thats a label sign that a grown man approachin his 40s is just throwin up then ur deluded lol..
THE VIDEO AND SONG ARE ABOUT A NEW BEGINNING. AN ARTIST, JAY Z WHO STARTED FROM BOTTOM, ROSE TO THE TOP AS AN ARTIST, NOW HE IS PLANTING HIS OWN FLAG. HE IS NO LONGER UNDER THE CONTROL OF UNIVERSAL MUSIC

But I know that if I stay stunting
All these girls only gon’ want one thing
I could spend my whole life good will hunting
Only good gon’ come is it’s good when I’m coming
She got an ass that’ll swallow up her G-string

We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
I’m just tryna change the color on your mood ring
Reebok, baby, you need to try some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoestrings?
What’s that, Ye? Baby, these heels

You feelin’ like you run it, huh?

JAY Z WEARS THE JACKET OF MARXIST MAO ZEDONG WHICH WAS MADE BY DESIGNER MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA. MAO WENT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHINA. ENTENDRE AND METAPHOR HERE. JAY IS GOING AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE RECORD INDUSTRY, UNIVERSAL RECORDS. JUST AS MAO REBELLED JAY IS DOING. IN THE VIDEO HE HAS HIS GANG OF WARRIORS AKA ROC NATION. THEY ARE READY TO REBELL, READY FOR WAR. THEY HAVE ON FATIGUES AND ALL BLACK EVERYTHING. THEY ARE FIERCE NINJAS, THE MOST DEADLIEST OF KILLERS. THEY HAVE PLEDGED THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO HOV, RHI RHI IAND OTHA WOMEN IN HIS CAMP ARE BLACK BIRDS/ RARE CHILLIN WITH THEIR DILLINGERS/WARRIOR/CROOK/GUN. HIS FIRST LADY AND HIS GENERAL. THE WORD TOWN SYMBOLIZES CHINA AS MAO LED REBELLION IN CHINA.
JAY Z’S VERSE TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT.
THERE IS SO MANY MORE THEATRICAL ENTENDRES AND METAPHORES ITS REDICULOUS
. KANYE ISNT EVEN ON JAY Z’S LEVEL.
THE BARS I HEAR KANYE SPIT ON THIS TRACK ARE SOMETING THAT CASSIDY WOULD HAVE DONE 4 YEARS AGO. HE DOES THOSE TYPES OF PUNCHLINES TOO MUCH. AND THOSE PUNCHLINES REALLY DONT HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH RUNNING THIS TOWN OR HENCE
THE TAKEOVER!
HE WENT OVER YAW HEAD!!!!
lol the luvdc blogspot will BOOM now.
ill ask Jay if i can put my facebook site on his next video.
ONCE AGAIN FOR YAW TOO STUPID TO READ OR KNOW ABOUT FASHION,
MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA IS A FASHION DESIGNER AND THE JACKET HE’S WEARING OF MAO IN VIDEO IS MADE BY HIM.
CAESAR IN A DARK CAESAR/EMPEROR/ KINDA LIKE THE MARXIST MAO WHO HAD AN ARMY WHICH HOV HAS IN VIDEO. IT’S THE TAKEOVER. THIS VIDEO MAKES PERFECT SENSE
we dont care bout knowing bout fashion or video making
if we don t feel sumthing that s it
and for real i don t feel this song and video
it s not the kind that make me replay the vid
Question, have yall heard the new Juvenile song???
After i heard that i realised a few things-
This Jay, Kanye, Rihanna song aint good at all and..
Drake aint shit…and..
Juve is the best from the old Cash Money
I dont even like RnB Hiphop songs like that but, this song here, Juvenile ft Pleasure P, “Hands on you” is the very definition of a summer smash.
i said so
RTNY, yall need to post that right now
Juve
all the political comments are on point, this is getting so weird.
first we see him in a satanic aleister crowley tshirt now he has a mao jacket which supports socialism which is exactly what the illuminati are pushing for in America.
Becuz socialism is the quickest way to implement fascist global feudalism. Anyone who denies that jayz is working for illuminati after seeing this is just plain uneducated in history. Mao is estimated to have murdered 100 million Asians.
this guy is 1000% pushing a New World Order Illuminati agenda. but we are awake & im proud to see so many intelligent political posts here. there is hope!
dope shit…reminds me of the mid 90s…where all videos where different…
Kid Cudi – feat kanye and common – dope video…
Jay-Z feat Kanye Rihanna – dope video
Jay-Z – DOA – dope video…
everything else…same old booty shaking shit…with hot chicks…and bottles popping same ol shit…booooooooooooooring!….
Great Vid…i like it, fits the theme to me n its symbolism…if u still a Hov fan after all these years u will get it…if not oh well. Its nutin wrong wit sayin u dont like it, but when u add all the extra nonsense u begin to showcase ur inner hater…its like when RT place sum new cat on here nobody feelin the guy gets no comments ppl wont even click on it…but if its Jay n u kno u dont like him, u still click on it and hate…now that my friends is a hater…and please stop with the mason illumanati stuff, who u recruitin to join u in yo lameness…get a life!
My Lord whats wrong with u peeps. The video straight fire. Something fresh instead of …Car, Car ,Video hoe, Car, Club scene…etc. U know what the artist aint killin hiphop. U wack fans r. Yaèll complain so damn much wit ur whinnin asses.
dope video, makes me like the song more
muthafukkas so critical today they cant even enjoy a video, relax haters.
and another thing I go check out mtv hottest mc in the game and Em is in the lead…nobody criticizes em for anything but u know y none of us really care whether he puts out good or bad stuff…em put out 2 videos i didnt like any of them did ppl go crazy bout them, no…did ppl go crazy bout his singles,no…we dont pay em no mind, but all his white fans ride or die for him n make him number 1…with Jay he got his loyal fans but then he got all these haters that dont like him just cuz he successful…when its said n done Jay has done way more for rap than Em and gave us timeless music but if it was left to fans to pick btw the two, Em wud prolly get that trophy cuz clowns like yall wud not support Jay n support sum1 else not even given him his props…n all Em supporters will ride wit him or nobody at all….smh at u ppl
by the way that pic with rihanna getting into the black truck…is fire…she looks yummy there…lol..love it.
WTH wasthat thebegininglookedlike the old Grim Reaper video wher the fight the werewolf I quit watching after two minutesbecuse the beats annoying and Rihanna’s voice was giving me a headach serouslly Jay-Z passed over the Drakesinglefor thispretentiouspeice of fluf spare me.
fuck jay-Z illuminati ass nigga go to hell satin worshiper!!!!!
Agree With #67, Yall Want Boats and Hoes, And Candy Painted Drop Tops, and Niggas Talkin bout Shit They Wont, Or Aint Do…..Like Flippin 10 Keys, Or Bodying You If You Do This OR That…..LIKE LETS BE REAL……The Lack of Appreciation Just Goes to Show How Closed Minded and Biased You Fools Are……..
Nas Said It Best….HIPHOP IS DEAD….And Some of Yall Are To Blame
same as #4 and #72
Vid Was Hott! Symbolise a new era In Hiphop Roc Nation Nomore Rocafella Dame Biggs beans, Free,Bleek, Nah Its Roc Nation Jay Kanye Rihanna J.Cole matterFact They should of put Him in the Video!… It was looks Like some Takeover shit “I just gave Doug a grip I lost a Flip for 5 Stacks Yeah Im talking 5 Comma Six Zeros Dot Zeros Here gooo/Back to Run Circles on you Niggaz Now we sqaured up/ He just Sumed it Up all of these Niggaz thats taking Shots at Him Aint on his Level Financial Situation and Matching up to Hov’s Period…He bout to start Another Dynasty its The Roc in the Building!…
@ djstiz same thing I said with the double meanings in his lyrics…lol…is tough to follow Hov…cause you don’t know what he means half the times…
but ur right on point i just didn’t wanna type all that shit…
Is like when he did that freestyle “grammy family” when he goes off…”inspired by boesky”…blah blah …people don’t even know what is he talking about hahaha…and is all about that movie in the 80′s…about that greedy stock broker…I think most of the time Hov just spits out of inspiration…or based on what he sees…is not like boxy made up shit…u know…? interesting and fun shit if u think about it…cause his lyrics have so much symbolism…
dumb niggas can only follow videos wit hoes and cars and guns, that’s very easy to understand but god forbid a nigga makes u think a lil bit. clearly the video is stating that this city, hiphop city is in anarchy annd chaos, like that kurt russe flick escape from la. and his team is the leaders of these poor misguided masses runnin around in disaray looking for watever they can get they hands on. those ppl are the rest of the rap game and jay ye and ri are in command of this so get down or lay down. and since when did yall expect so much from a jay video, jay has always been awkward and wierd and his vids were ALWAYS average. talkin that illuminati shit, u sound mad stupid, u yourself don’t even know wat u talkin bout, if u really knew anything you would know that your wayyyyyy off target. cuz the illuminati goals is to control all the black ppl in the ghetto so they’ll use jayz, wat is he secretly forcing us to do? we have no power so were worthless to those up top we cann even get along wit ourselves they see us as useless animals. dickheads
yall talkin about symbolism, from the 1st preview jump off, I got a vibe like he bringing back that whole concept of underground. like he bringin that underground shit back. like back to some real shit, cause that’s where it came from. like wearing all black is symbolizing fuck all that trendy colorful shit. he bringing back that gutter shit that real shit. I remember DMX’s get at me dog was all black and white too. gutter type vibes.
@KING
THANKS. I HAD TO EXPLAIN CUZ HOV IS THAT DUDE AND THERE WAS TOO MUCH BASHING. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE SONG, I DIDN’T GET IT. THEN I BROKE IT DOWN AND SAW THE ENTENDRES METAPHORS AND SYMBOLISM. HE IS A GENUIS.
on the real, for yall believing and bringing up that illuminati shit, yall sound like a bunch a douchebags. get yall facts straight and stop following these preachers on youtube. this ain’t 96, in the 90′s that illuminati shit broke out into the rap world to wake people up, now yall sayin the same people in it are in the freemasons and shit. yall young kids is unguided bringing up that jay-z song d’evils. can’t yall just take it as just a clever song. “D’evils”, jay talkin bout all the evil shit and just titled it like “devils”(D’evils). that’s it simple as that. you can conspire all day, but if you ain’t doing shit to solve this conspiracy problem, yall just sound corny cause we heard it all before. The jay-z connection is just plain fuckin stupid.
“as black people are we programmed to hate on any other black people who are successful????!!!!!”
ACTUALLY THE MAJORITY OF THE ‘HATE’ YOU SEE IS YOUR INABILITY TO ACCEPT PEOPLE HAVING AND EXPRESSING DIFFERENT TASTES AND OPINIONS,SO IRONICALLY IT IS -YOU- WHO IS HATING IN HERE.
THE VIDEO IS 50/50,IT DID NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS BUT I THINK THE MAJORITY OF JAY-Zs FAN BASE WILL BE PLEASED BY THE OVERALL PRODUCT.THE CONCEPT HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH SO IT DOESN’T HAVE A ‘FRESH’ LOOK NOR FEEL TO IT,AND THIS CAN BE SEEN AS A DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE OVERALL TONE AND MESSAGE OF THE BP3.
BUT AT THE END OF IT ALL IT SUITS THE SOURCE MATERIAL,UNLIKE ‘THE BEST I EVER HAD’ VIDEO,THEY PLAYED IT SAFE ON THIS AND I THINK JAYZs FAN BASE IS MATURE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE VIDEO AIMS TO ESTABLISH.ADD IN RIHANNA AND KANYE WEST,AND THERE’S NO DOUBT THE VIDEO WILL BE IN DEMAND FOR A WHILE.
I THINK IT WILL TURN OUT LIKE THIS;THE OLDER HIPHOP FAN BASE WILL THOROUGHLY ENJOY THIS VIDEO,THE NEWER HIPHOP FAN BASE WILL REACT APATHETICALLY TO THE PRODUCT.YOU’RE SEEING THIS VERY REACTION IN THIS VERY COMMENT SECTION SO LET’S SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT FROM HERE.
@ djstiz – nice work my man. thanks for breaking it down for these fools. if people cant respect those lyrics then they are simply too dumb to understand and can’t feel real hip hop. give them a few years, they’ll figure it out.
blueprint 3 in stores sept. 11. buy it in the stores and let’s make history. we are all witnessing a living legend.
This video is sicker than sick. I just heard Jay went #3 on the Billboard 100. Jigga’s the greatest to ever do it! HANDS DOWN. Rihanna killed the hook, Hov verse was on whole another level, and Kanye spazzed out on this song! This video is classic!1
COULD’NT WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO BECAUSE THE SONG SOUND SHITTY…JUST SAYING MY FACTS NO HATING IT’S WACK, PUT YA KNEES TO YA BACK NOW YOU HANDICAP..P
yes rihanna did kill the hook badley it was horrable should of let MJB did the hook^^^
@djstiz. I appreciate the breakdown. I like the song more now cuz I want to hear and catch all the diff. things Jay throws @ us. If Jay’s book breaks down his lyrics like this I wanna read it now!! I believe Jay is inspired by things he runs across on a daily basis such as a movie he recently watched or popular media topics. If you are not up on your reading or movies or history then yeah Jay is just some old guy rapping about his paper and broads. The mond is a terrible thing to waste. Catch up haters.
OK I CHECKED IT OUT CLOSER…NOT WACK I RETRACT THAT STATEMENT, BUT STILL, WHY NIGGAS TALKING LIKE IT’S TRIGANOMETRY…THAT’S WHY I DON’T LIKE POP RAP, NIGGAS LITERALLY POP SHIT WITH NO PURPOSE. YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU SPEND MONEY? FIRST SINGLE? COME ON, STRATEGY JAY, STRATEGY
NIGGA GOT SPOKESMEN…NOT EVEN ON PAYROLL…I GUESS THAT MAKES HIM….THE…NAH CAN’T BE
yea the game has nothing on jayz…
jayz always finds a way to kill it and keep it one hundred
Pac said it best “niggas gone hate you for whatever you do”.
The new trend is tying Jay into the Masons/illuminati.
Niggas love a good conspiracy.
@#62 can u take the meat out ya mouth now or later???? OMG jay-z is great.. but its not that serious bro. Its Not complex enough for you to write out every bar as if its hieroglyphics, get a grip, its put in lame man’s terms so silly people like u can feel like scholars.. Just Enjoy the music and relax its a cool record… The verses will not have to have a movie directed by Ron Howard starring Tom Hanks…
I’m sorry for you haters it didn’t have enough hip-hop video stereotypes for you geez people read between the lines clearly the video is showing symbolism i guess jay would have to dumb it down for you stupid hating ass niggas.
why are dudes still talkin bout pac???? he just had beef with jay cause big hung out with jay which to me is some ol lame shit and beside pac is dead big is dead jay is here and still making quality music at whatever age hell the retirement age is 62 i think so he got years left why hate on a man who love what he do i bet half yall including me hate ur fucking jobs if u dont like the song or video thats cool but just say u dont like it all the he old he shit he this & that & such & such said this years ago just save it
at the end its just music.
cosign with #95
WHY IS JAY-Z MOUTHING KANYE’S WORDS: MAY HE KNOWS KANYE’S VERSE IS HOTTER; JUST AN OBSERVATION
this song aint even a banger AND u cant even learn anything on the lyrics,
Bone Thugs – If I could teach the world
Pac & Dre – California Love
They did this video already and it’s much better so WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NIGGA HYPIN THIS VIDEO FOR? THIS NIGGA JUST CARE ABOUT MONEY WAKE UP PEOPLE. I would appreciate this if they just put it out like a normal video supposed to be but they act LIKE THIS IS SPECIAL WHEN IT’S JUST AN AVERAGE SONG
JAY-Z hypes too much he’s too cocky. NAS is humble and he wont even act like this. He do music for the poor. and this GAY-Z is all about cockyness. FUCK GAY-Z
DJSTITZ and REALTALK425, well put. I agree 100%. DJSTITZ, im just glad you typed it and i didnt have to.
@ djstiz
Much respect, I tip off my Fedora to you…btw the video and track are both dope!
Hov is in his own league, bar none!…
BP3 9/11…go support true genius…
JAY-Z G.O.A.T JAY-Z G.O.A.T, THE KING IS BACK THE KING IS BACK RUN BITCHZ RUN!
p.s ROC NATION BITCHHHHHHHHHHH
It’s just another rich white man with a good idea. Jay-Z isn’t pulling any strings, hes the puppet. Good job, house niggers.
super hot!
if pac put jay in his place why is he 30 feet in the ground and jay sittin on stacks sky high LOL
not to discredit pac for all he’s done in hip hop…
AND FOR ALL YOU DUMB MOTHAFUCKAS TALKIN BOUT ILLUMINATI AND JAY IS A MASON….Maison Martin Margiela IS A HIGH BOUTIQUE CLOTHING LINE BASED OUT OF BEVERLY HILLS DO YO RESEARCH AND STUDY HIS LYRICS AND YOU’LL SEE HOW MUCH HE PUTS HIS WORDS TOGETHER AND MURDERS THIS SONG
ok maison martin is a´boutique, but anyone with common sense would think he was talking about the free masons, dont act like it isnt obvious
@105
THANKS FOR REITERATING THAT WHICH I HAVE ALREADY SAID. IT’S THE QUADRUPLE ENTENDRES, METAPHORS AND SYMBOLISM. ALL OF THE SYMBOLISM IN THIS VIDEO MAKES IT AN ARTISTIC PIECE OF WORK. ITS NOT ABOUT FANCY CARS GIRLS AND MONEY ON THE SURFACE BUT RATHER A STRUGGLE TO CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY, PLANTING YOUR OWN SEED, GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN, BECOMING A LEADER, OBAMAISM, METAPHORIC MANIFEST DESTINY AND… A COUP, I.E.
THE TAKEOVER
J HOVA THE GREAT
@106
THATS WHAT MAKES HIM SUCH A GREAT LYRICIST, EVERYTHING IS NOT SUPERFICIAL. I COULDN’T BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE SAID KANYE KILLED JAY. PLEASE, KANYE’S LYRICS ARE SO ELEMENTARY AND NURSERY RHYTHMIC, HOWEVER THEY ARE SO APROPO FOR THIS GENERATION OF IGNORAMUSES. YOU FOOLS WOULD TALK ABOUT HIM IF HE MADE A VIDEO ABOUT HIGH PRICED CARS, MONEY, AND VIDEO CHICKS BUT NOW THAT HE HAS MADE A VIDEO FILLED WITH SYMBOLISM, YOU STILL CRITSIZE.
u fckn dumbazzes mao killed 100 million ppl . fck jayz illuminati azz he s a dam satanist & yall going to hell wit him lol
HOW MANY JEWS WERE KILLED? HOW MANY ARFRICANS WERE KILLED BY THE ANCESTORS OF THE GOOD WHITE FOLK HERE IN AMERICA, HOW MANY AFRICANS ATE OTHER AFRICANS AND HOW MANY AFRICANS HELPED GIVE US AWAY?. THE CONCEPT OF MAO IS NOT JUST ABOUT HOW MANY CHINESE HE KILLED. FURTHERMORE, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT GOOD, THERE ARE ALWAYS CASUALTIES OF WAR. CIVIL WAR GULF WAR,WWI, WWLL, EC.T
WW2, ECT.
I agree wit djstizz
people so fuckin dumb they dont catch his complex lyrics they really need to read his book if it gets released wit his lyrics bein explained cuz mothafuckas dont understand none of what he sayin
Fuck Roc Nation there is only one nation PacNation.
video was wack i only checked it to see rhianna who is def the hottest chick in the game hands down even tho the bitch sound funny as hell on this song kanye is a bore and camel is even lamer satan worshipin ass nigga
Pac was never on Jay level far rappin he was more of a inspirational speaker he didnt have none of the wordplay Jay has. I wont say fuck Pac cuz he one of my fav rappers but lets be foreal listen to how complex Jay’s lyrics niggas dont even get his lyrics til u really study it u didnt have to do that wit Pac
This song sucks…period. I’ve heard it on the radio once or twice. 1.7/10. The Rihanna chrous is annoying, Jay’s rhymes are tired, and Kanye’s was average nothing special. I really don’t see the hype over this or D.O.A (also a weak song.) He’s made way better music. I like Jay, but he really dissapointed me on this one.
JAY-Z = KING OF RAP!!!!
@NEGRO PLEASE
YOU DON’T GET IT! IT’S FUN TO LISTEN TO MUSIC AND REALIZE THAT THERE ARE QUADRUPLE ENTENDRES, METAPHORS AND SYMBOLISM IN IT. ITS NOT AN EVERYDAY CORNER BOY RAP. EVERY BAR HAS RELEVANCE AND EXPLAINS HIS PLIGHT. ITS EASY TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT BS OR UNTRUTHFULLNESS. THIS SONG IS PURE HONESTY AND VERY DEEP.
The video was corny. The song is ok. Rihanna’s part was horrible, she’s only there for star appeal. I do believe Jay-Z is into something satanic. Theres nothing wrong with liking his music, just dont worship the nigga or any other celebrity is all Im saying.
Video is HOT, song grew on me. But yea the chorus lyrics are kinda dumb… woulda been way better changing them first 2 lines
PS – #5 This bitch said BURBANK… please, nobody wants to run Burbank LMFAO
jay-z is my favorite rapper hands down!! Tupac was a amazing artist as well. But jay isn’t no Tupac by a long shot. Pac was the best to ever touch a mic. He had flow charm lyrics and image everything, except he wasn’t a bussinessman, and he’s jew friends were about to change that. But THEY killed him. LUCKY U. Back to Young God Devil i mean jay-z He is great at satanic mind games like rubbing his sholder and in between throwing up the devils horn. Little snicky things to acknowledge his illluminati friends. i don’t agree with it but thats him.! Sooner or LATER god a cut you down!!!!! Oh and if we really gone run this town make sure they can’t and don’t blow us all up at once cause im down for the REV. shit lets take it back we built it. WUZUP jigga man!!!!!!!!!!
Some of you peole are ridiculous. Hov has dumbed down his flow to compliment your ears and slow catching minds, all the while spitting lyrics with a level of complexity unmatched. Even when he seems to be spititng regular bars he is speaking on a whole nother subject “i’m talkin 5 comma 6 zeros dot zeros nigga” How can you not appreciate such lyrical prowess? How can you not applaud such creative genuis and pure artistry? This is not me dick riding, this is me giving due props. You DO NOT have to like him but to short change him in terms of respect is retarded. Some people like magic johnson more than jordan but they know who the G.O.A.T is. . . why can’t people do that in hip-hop.
Anyone who agrees with #62 is a RETARD and THE MOST NAIVE person in the world. Jay-z is a fucking evil ass man! He is IN MAISON like he clearly said! See this is a topic that’s way too deep for some simple minded people, like ANYONE who likes Jay-z. Tupac is dead because he knew what jay-z was. He knew what he was up to, and he didn’t agree. So they killed him. Understand that maisons are some of the richest and powerful people in the world. They can do whatever they want. I just hate how forward this video is in expressing the beliefs of maisons. Don’t nobody wanna see that shit! I want to be a happy person, not some evil, money hungry, trader ass nigga like JAY-Z. I just don’t get it! God loves us so much…how could his own children be so stupid enough to worship LUCIFER. But FYI, he’ll never win.
Lauren London is not all that fine and Wayne has how many baby moma now!LOL
FUCK GAY-Z!!!
I’m WACK!!!
I could put out a track of me rapping about power rangers and still have y’all niggas suckin my dick and idolizing my old ass. LOL
WASUP!!!
is it me or does rihanna soud absolutely terrible i mean absolutely terrible off key whiny just plain ole terrible someone pls. tell me its just my ears or my good ass speakers but she sounds terrible. the song otherwise is alright. but off key whiny just plain ole wack singing on rihannas part.
the man is straight up illuminati. And the name of rocafella is straight up illuminati. IF he was smart, and new what the rockafeller family has done, he wouldn’t be praising them that is for sure. Most of their clothes have skull and crossbone symbols and all seeing eye symbols. Or winged god symbols. The man is straight up mason, no doubt about it. And now they dress up all in black. Rock 33′s.. I can’t chill to that music anymore. Way to sell your soul J.
ok wel i hearin sumting bout how al ah dem in sum cult…………….i aint judgin dem cuz i aint kno dem personal…..but if dey r………………BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
