All Black Everything...

Finally the video for We Run This Town has been released. And in true Jigga fashion he hyped it, major. I am glad that I checked it though, this video is as expected... Epic. Anthony Mandler is due credit for his foresight on the video... It isn't your typical hip hop video... But once again Jay-Z isn't your typical hip hop artist. He needed to have a good lead video for the Blueprint 3 as he is following some classics in the Blueprint series. A lot is expected of him, so he needs to deliver. DOA was a bit of a disappointment from a Jay-Z purist perspective. But We Run This Town is more of a proper lead single so I'm glad he delivered. And the video is no exception. Epic is really the only way that I can describe it.

I like the all black army feel to it... It could almost be a rebel movement recruitment video. Dressed similar, but each individual. It's good to see Rihanna back on top looking great. Kanye definitely stepped up since his horrid showing in the Make Her Say video and Jay-Z looks like he is putting a lot more thought into what he wears.

Check the video and see what you think.
