Despite the drug-related content and the ominous ending of his latest music video for And the Winner Is, only the indomitable Jay-Z can make a tune about cocaine so catchy.
That shit he says about Britney cracks me up. I am guessing that was written after the VMA’s. Boring ass video though, just another rapper bragging about how he blows all his “hard earned” wealth. Yah we get it you were a real street gangster 20 years ago. With all those celebrities in the video I am surprised he didn’t have Beyonce make a cameo.

God damn he is U-G-L-Y. Boring video, unoriginal song that only perpetuates rap stereotypes. Jeezus. Why are people into this tired crap?

I was liking it before they got to the club then its the same as almost every other rap video (the pool is optional). Is that girl w/ the weave and the glasses supposed to be Mariah?

To be continued? That sucks. Hope he’s not going to pull an R-Kelly and turn this into 23 parts.

Alright… I actually liked it (esp. the beat). And I normally don’t like his stuff. Usually, I would write off songs like these as cliche hip hop crap, but seeing as how his album was inspired by the movie of the same name (American Gangster), he gets a definitive pass. The song has a theme which caters to the movie. I’m glad Jay is putting more thought and variation in his lyrics… I wish other hip hoppers/rappers would follow suit. Lupe Fiasco has great lyrics… nothing to do with Jay, just had to put that out there :o).
