It’s deeper than Mad Max.
Director Anthony Mandler reveals the idea behind Jigga’s next visual:
“There’s a tone and feeling to the song, there’s a militia, a march and a kind of rambunctious energy to it that, for me, I immediately wanted to tap into. I showed [Jay] some references from the classic rebellious zones of the world. We live in very orderly society in America, but when you get into Brazil, you get into the Middle East, you get into Africa, you get into Eastern Europe, when you get into places like that, there’s a different sort of ‘we run this town’ [going on]. There’s less order and more chaos. So we looked at a lot of those references, new photos and historical photos, to capture that kind of falling-apart feeling.”
“We wanted you to feel uneasy throughout the piece,” he said. “We wanted there to be a constant layer of tension through the piece. Even in the way I shot — where the camera comes by Jay, it doesn’t stop on him, it goes to Rihanna — there’s kind of this chaos of revealing and covering and concealing. And things happen offscreen that you don’t see. I think people are really gonna flip on this.”
We better. Video drops tmw night at 8 EST on MTV.

Um, back in my day, we called this an EP. See: Show and AG/PR and CL.
That’s right, no Kanye clearances, Santigold or “Ignorant Shit” covers. Mr. You The Fuckin’ Best is hittin’ retail with just his very best on this reissue due Sept. 15th. These are the songs you hear on the radio ALL THE TIME. As you can see, “I’m Goin’ In” is even included. With no Jeezy? Don’t know about that. But at least we got the new “Fear” joint, hopefully it’s better than “The Winner.” I fucks with Tha Bizness but that track gives me the creeps.

Dante and the hometown boy delivered this past Monday. Just watch. Spotted: NR Update: It’s “Exhibit A (Remix)”. Clear? Cool.

“Don’t call it a comeback. I’ve been here for years.”
Hey, does Whitney say something about “you think that your shit don’t stink” here? You wanna talk about attitude? Well, ole girl got it on her album’s closer. Call me crazy, but this sounds like the big fuck you to B. Brown.
“It took me all these years/ To realize that you don’t belong here/ I can do better/ You say I’d never do better/ Yeah, right whatever.”

Look out Minaj, the Baddest Bitch is back? Anyways, Trina returns and no she ain’t “Single Again” she got an “Attitude” instead. I wanna like this, but after a few listens it still sounds pretty generic. Can somebody point out the bounce?

Janet Jackson’s ex-man isn’t feeling the latest of the seemingly endless MJ covers.

“You gotta give it up to Jay. He’s holding New York right now,” Rakim
said. “You have brothers like Fabolous that’s holding New York right
now. Rap is spread out right now. It’s like the NFL last year. A lot of
the teams we thought was going to the Super Bowl last year didn’t make
it. You have young teams that people sleeping on in the playoffs. It’s
the same thing in rap. New brothers is sprouting out. It’s crazy. From
Drake to you name it. I’m a fan of hip-hop as well. I like everybody
who keeps the game on their toes and keep it pushing.”

[…] Busta Rhymes’ revelation about the Roxy incident offers fans a rare glimpse into a moment that could have escalated into something much bigger. But thanks to the power of music—and the quick thinking of Kid Capri—the night ended on a high note. It’s a story that reminds us of the way hip hop can unite as much as it divides, and how even in moments of tension, the culture finds a way to move forward. […]
