    Mortal Kombat!

  2. Leslie says:

    I love it. One of the better videos to come out this year. Jay and Ye’s swag is impeccable as always and Rihanna is hot. I am a straight woman but my god I would give Rihanna the business if I had the chance.

  3. fuckkerihilson says:

    Been waitin for this video…I was expectin more But it is what it is!

  4. SpeakerHead says:

    Even Jay couldn’t stop the leaks @MTV… “D.O.A.” done, “RTT” done, ’til 9/11 now… Video hype/promotion > Actual video (still average song per Hov’s standards).

  5. jugganot says:

  6. christine says:

    SO THIS IS THE VIDEO??? GIVE ME A BREAK , ITS NOT ALL THAT, WHAT WAS THE HYPE FOR? NEXT???

  7. Kid Fonk says:

    I really don’t understand how ya’ll not feelin this! This is a muthafuckin CLASSIC! Rihanna back Jay back Ye aint singing.. CLASSIC

  8. iambradk says:

    Censorship in rap music is hilarious. Can someone explain why they censor Dillinger and homo, but not “she got a ass that’ll swallow up a G-string”?

    Like the video, but I think that if you’re going to do a concept video like this you need to develop the concept more. They’re too matter-of-factly dressed as a militia, there isn’t a reason for it (in the video at least). I understand the metaphor but if you’re going to make a music video like a movie you need a plot, imo.

    This shit was nothing special

    i enjoyed Eminems 3am video way more then this shit..

  10. PINKY says:

    Is that it? I’m not a hater but that was nothing special!

  11. ill-Defined says:

    I gotta agree with IAMbradK — it’s a good idea, but they didn’t do anything with it, it’s just them running around in something that looks sorta like a pyramid and then a subway sewer, they’re showing a militia/rebellion feel, but they aint rebelling against shit.

    Nas did it better with hero.

  12. TONY says:

    This is same concept as CALI LOVE. But this ain’t good no hate. Watch tupac and Dre they will show you how it’s done.

  13. naijaCandy says:

    been wondering what was off about this song… now I know it is Yeezy’s verse.

    The video concept fits the song, I might like it a *tiny* but more now but then someone started singing about asses in gstrings on a song that could have been called militant..

    It would be nice for once to hear a cohesive song with one vision, Rihanna, Jay and Kanye are all talking about different things the video lines up with the beat and the hook but Jay and especially Kanye were off-topic and killed the vibe of the song and the video…

    *hopes further dwindle for BP3*

  14. six figga thrilla says:

    Jay u gonna be 40 in nov. Cool it down with the militia stuff lls.

    sike hov’s my dude but this vid is just like d.o.a. for me

    it didn’t move me

    the concept was there but not developed. Prolly to save time or something. but thats wat it is

  15. ?? says:

    this is crap, how can you let jay put out stuff like this and say you love it this song is so average if not below, and this hyped video is nothing but shit

  16. King Jerm says:

    the song is starting to grow on me though.

  17. RUN THIS TOWN says:

    BEST QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO!!!

    RUN THIS TOWN!!!!

  18. 1 says:

    MASON MINDFUCKS, Y’ALL B GETTING SCREWED IN YOUR EARS HARDY HARD. ONCE AGAIN HE’S A MASON, HE EVEN REFERENCE’S IT IN THE SONG, DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH N SEE WHAT THEY B ABOUT.

  19. Its hot says:

    Hot video! nothing bad to say.

    Jay and Ye’s swag is impeccable as always and Rihanna is hot

  20. ReyTheHussein says:

    I can’t believe people are hating on this. This video and the song work on 2 or 3 different levels. Awesome clip, and aside from the outfits, this isn’t anything like “California Love”.

    Gotta love the internet–everybody rushing to be the first one unimpressed.

    –RTH

  21. Jay is the Best says:

    U can’t knock Jay’s swag. Even though the video isn’t classic, it’s still a hell of a lot better than any other of those bullshit videos that rappers put out now a days. It’s way better than that shit Best I Ever Had video by Drake. Jay-Z is still the G.O.A.T.

  22. kit walker says:

    this song was disapointing (sucked) for so many reasons ( 1.jays verse is probably the worst verse iv ever heard him spit its so below even his sub verse of late 2. kanye has not ony a better verse then jay but more mic presense…tha fuk? when fish fly right. now i know how the first generation to see man in space felt when they said never thought id see that in my lifetime 3. this song is a carbon clone a bad one at that of t.i. – live your life 3. the other bp3 single also was disapointing (sukced) with a disapointing video ) and now we are blessed with a disapointng (hot garbage) video to go with the song i think this video this video actually probably makes the song worse than if u jus experiance it sonically couldn’t they have done something that wasn’t basically the exact same video as califonia love..sigh hopefully bp3 will be good cos a 3rd consequtive disapointing album from hov would just be smh

  23. sms says:

    Both video and single is fucking cool. Plus, can’t forget Kanye and his rocking beat. Perfect!

  24. yourmom says:

    I liked the video better when it was called California Love. smh.

  25. bosco says:

    I love it…with all the terrible music that’s out right now we need this. What would you rather have..”Run this town” or “do the booty dew”?

  26. webstar says:

    video looks a hell of a lot like “Thief’s Theme” and pretty much has nothing to do with the song…oh yeah, Kanye killed it easy.

  27. ....... says:

    I never been a big fan of Jay, but still used to recognise his talent back in the day when he acyually where lyrical and cared about making quality hiphop,but dude sold out a long time ago.

    This shit is just wack! Jay keeps dumbing down his lyrics and Kanye actually has the dopest verse on this song. Rhianna looks HOT, but she sounds so goddamn annoying allways with that whiny voice.

  28. BestRapSongs says:

    That gonna be a new fucking trend.

    Scarf weared like a hoodie.

    Jay made it.

    BEST RAP SONGS

  29. REAL says:

    Yeh Rhianna is hot! She loox GR8 and all dat, very sexy as usual but she CAN NOT sing! Im sorry for all you fans, am seriously not hating or tyring to offend any1. I have yet to hear her sing without that effect on her voice! Plus what she does in this song is so basic, what is there too like about it! The chorus is WACK.

    Jay – Z is a badman, but his lyrics are wack on this too.

    And California Love was a much better video and song!

    Bun the Masons and all those who follow them. Dont let this shit grow on you like everything else that is a load of shit filled with subliminal messages to worship them devils.
