A few months ago a version of this video leaked, and today we get our hands on the official version thanks to Kanye himself. While the initial buzz of this song has tapered off a bit since the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the video does a superb job of taking this track to new heights. Where artists like Kanye and Nicki shine, the portions of the video that feature them are elevated as well. But I can’t help but thinking how awkward Hov’s clip is, which sort of makes sense, as I strongly feel that was also Jay’s worst verse of his entire career. #Monster
Hit the skip to peep the visuals, which were directed by Jake Nava.
yes worst jay-z verse since his last verse and until his next. jigga hasn’t been good since the bush administration.

Another factor leading to my conclusion — The fact that Nicki Minaj (who I am now dreadfully bored of) DESTROYED Jay-Z with her verse.
I would agree with you, but this video had already leaked in December 2010, which was before we saw “Yonkers”.
gotta love a misogyny disclaimer. i have a feeling the things tyler the creator is doing creatively are gonna push Kanye to keep switching it up with future videos and albums
Maybe not the worst ever, but it’s pretty shitty
The worst Jay verse ever? Nah, there’s a plethora of gloriously ill-conceived Jay verses that rank below this.
Boring at times, awesome at others.
