    video looks dope

  14. Eternally Sleepy says:

    The video will be based on performance artist Marina Abramovic’s exhibition at the MOMA where she sat silently and spectators took turns sitting in front of her. I think she totaled over 700 hours. about That is her in the black going head to head with Jay…. Video willed be dope.

  15. OhWORD says:

    @Gambino

    man oh man when an artist gets slandered for things outside of his music and his dick riders come out the cut that is the most annoying shit @ohWORD get his dick out your mouth and just enjoy the music, people gon slander all day, but the pointless dick riding must cease he ain’t worried bout neither one of you

  18. IM730 says:

    Name ONE RAPPER that could sit there in spit at an ART MUSEUM with nothing but art fans and white people around and still BE SO SECURE with himself… and doesnt need to have a bunch of his “niggas” around tryin to look tough.. Yo I thought it was just a little sayin to promote the album but fuck #NewRules is right..

    im pre-embarrased for any of the niggas that are gonna even try to do some shit like this..

  19. thirdeyijimmy says:

    ^he’s performing kiddo calm down,,,thats what he gets paid to do…stop reaching.

  20. Fuck Your Opinion says:

    Marina Abramovic, that is fucking incredible. This video will be very interesting/dope. Hov!

  21. Charlamagne Tha Lord says:

    Fuck it, if y’all won’t say it, I’ll say it… JAY, YOU’RE NOT KANYE!!! When did this nigga EVER really truly like art? Like, seriously… Put a Basquiat painting in his face during his Blueprint days, the nigga would have slapped you silly and told you to get that shit out his face. He’s too hood for that… Fuck out of here Jay.

  22. bumpy johnson says:

    @ charlamagne the lord ……………….. tell them how u feel bruh ……………

  23. IM730 says:

    haha yall the type of niggas that get uncomfortable being surrounded by white people.. cause yall not secure with yourselves.. No shit he;s performing.. I said name a rapper that wouldnt need all his people there. dummies.. Niggas always wanna speak but aint sayin nothin…

  24. The Brain Trust says:

    @IM730

    You’ve tried & failed to make an interesting point TWICE.

    *Shouts in Jay’s Imaginary Player voice*

    ‘DICKRIDERS!’

  25. marina abramovic
    That’s who Jay was dancing (?) with at 1:28 – 1:41 with
    AND
    who JAY LIFTED THIS IDEA FROM

    I’m sure a lot of you finally figured this out after reading it somewhere from someone who knew this form the jump. Or follow my Twitter.
    I knew who JAY Z was wishing he could be , no biggie
    Get it?
    No biggie

    oh yea, fuck a @b dot

    @p0is0nedkoola on twitter
    Jay Z, the man who became king by stealing everything from everyone

  28. Genesis says:

    ^^^^^
    Finally…. Someone who gets it….. It’s meant to inspire….. Fucktards would rather hate all day…..

  29. Loch says:

    I didn’t expect for this to be a single.Seems like more of a street single.Tom Ford seems like a killer single.Ppl gravitated to it naturally.It’s been trending for days.The Justin joint or a few could have been better singles IMO, but what do I know?

  30. GtotheFO says:

    So what if Jay didnt appreciate art back in the day? At one point he wasnt making music either and then he CHANGED. Then he went from music to business. U want his old shit buy his old albums

    Hater logic <

  31. BLACK EBERT says:

    I Love the re-invention of Jay. Always re-inventing himself !

    And it’s always interesting… The fact that he did all those interviews and now dropping behind the scenes when you know he don’t have too…is so good for hip hop.

    It’s as if he’s switched up the rules. but still stays grounded by giving us BTS looks and interviews and commercials.

    This should be very good. Dope track.
    and TOM FORD could be a single too, its that new dirt off ur shoulders, its his swag record.

    ONLY IN AMERICA is the best record tho/

    2 BLACK THUMBS UP. #MCHG

    CAN WE ALL AGREE, HIP HOP IS BACK FOR 2013….ya.

  32. dat nigga says:
