This has some pretty ****ing amazing cinematography and some stunning visuals. Honestly one of my favorite videos from this year. Even the parts with modified audio seemed right.
That was... alright, I guess. I appreciate the effort, but Jay-z is seriously lacking in stage presence in his own music video (despite trying to show that he makes up for it with his riches -.-'). And why'd they keep slowing the song down? Seems like a last second gimmick, like they were bored with the original and figured they'd slow it down for dramatic effect. Did not work. :/
