WHAT YOU LIKE

Jay Z - I Know

A double entendre for sure. These are the types of songs you want to hear from anyone claiming to be the best rapper alive.

Show and prove.

So said Mos Def to Jay-Z when he publicly challenged “the best rapper alive” to a battle.

  1. is that Zoe Kravitz? omg! she is GORGEOUS.

    ok, stanning aside, very sexy imagery. funny thing is the video could work with the words to “Black Girl Lost” too.

    I get the double entendre and the personification of the music as drug, drug as lover. kinda dope how the metaphor is scaffolded. The imagery is very soothing too. Definitely pulls you in & holds the focus, but not in an abrasive manner.

    I’m enjoying these new conceptualized videos from Jay. I prefer them to the club joints. I have more thoughts on the matter, but I have to watch the video a few more times.

    Me likey. Me likey a lot.

    ummm…yeah…
