Video: Jay-Z "Run This Town" feat. Rihanna & Kanye West
Posted by Shamz on Aug 20, 2009
Well here it is, the video for Jay-Z's "Run This Town" featuring Kanye West and Rihanna (produced by Yeezy & No I.D.). No hate, but the video does just about as much for me as the song does (read: very little). Hov's Blueprint 3 will be out September 11th. Video directed by Anthony Mandler.

Kanye's little part is lame as hell!....luckily it's at the end of the song so I can just change it once he starts rapping. "to everybody on your dick, no homo"....I find this hilarious, considering he's a gay fish and all.

Man yall cats are trippin... I didnt get a chance to see the video but this song is smashin... J still got it... Solid verses from him and Ye... Solid track... and this comes from a cat that stop listening to him after the Orginators (the first one!) and became a fan again on the Black Album. Ask youself a question. How many hip-hop cats do you know that can build this level of conversation amongst music lovers after being in the game so many years? Ladies and gentleman its hard to be that good and so rich. Dude still sound hungry! Look forward to hearing more...

Rihanna's voice is sooo irritating.
Jay-Z is nothing Special
Kanye West is on another Planet

Yeah, i agree
Rihanna is talentless piece of shit
Not really liking the track but i usually dont like the songs Jay uses for videos though.
except Lost One is my favorite joint by him since he came back from retirement

I have to agree that it's overly corporate. Like the beat, but I could name a few others with very similar elements. Don't get me wrong, Jay's reputation preceedes him, but judging from the recent stuff I've heard, he's lost a step. And Kanye. Kanye has never been a great MC. I mean "...beasting off the Reistling" has to be the most pretentious rhyme I've heard in a cold minute even considering it's from him.

Ok. Real talk. I like the imagery, the look and feel of the video. Jay's verses are cool, better than good, but Im still waiting to hear that one that makes me say "oh shit" I'm sorry, not feeling Rihanna on this one. Aye Jay- have your wife on the remix and I bet you it gets a lot more legs. And this brings me to Kanye West. Is it me or are his rhymes still....________________ fill in the blank. Jay still makes people pay attention, and for that, we all win...

This shit is ILL! Song AND Video.
And who is this bullshit ass muthafucka who wrote the caption on the site for the video? Keep your bullshit opinion to yourself when you're introducing peoples' shit. That ain't how you premiere shit you silly mufukkka. Learn to remain unbiased. Some of these idiots will agree with you SOLELY because you're backed by OKP. Yall need some new reviewers.

Not sure if I'm all hype with this song, or even the album, no less, but I hope this album proves better than "Reasonable Doubt". Honestly...I disliked that album so much...Exceot maybe just one song.

really besides Rihanna, this track is bananas.
they could fart all over this beat and it would sound great.
but as for the video.. i dug the revolutionary/street thing they got going on. Rihanna looked like a damn fool at every moment, but overall it was dope.
