Video: No Church In The Wild (feat. Frank Ocean) by Jay-Z & Kanye West
Jay and Ye aren't in the video. It's basically a lot of rioting between police and some people. They throw Molotov cocktails, then there are lasers and fireworks, and then an elephant is confused as to why he is there.

Video: N*ggas In Paris by Jay-Z & Kanye West
On their Watch The Throne tour last year, Jay-Z and Kanye West became notorious for performing their triumphant banger “Niggas In Paris” over and over, and over. One of last year’s greatest singles finally has official visuals to front, and it centers almost entirely around those live shows which we all loved, with Jay and Ye rocking a huge crowd that seems to mostly consist of models. The quick edits and laser-lights are so relentless that the video comes with an epilepsy warning, and the repeated use of lion-roars is just awesome.(via Stereogum)
News: N*ggas In Paris, Videojacked
In just a few hours, Jay-Z and Kanye West will premiere the long awaited visuals for their mega-hit and stadium meme, “Niggas In Paris.” Cue STARK’s impressive videojack. The only question is whether The Throne can top this. (via PMA)
“Videojacking: Action of stealing a music video, an audiovisual work, even before the artist asked for itself, ordered, undertook, realized, and even thought about it.”
News: N*ggas In Paris Video by Jay-Z & Kanye West
A video worth this pre-post. The Throne (Jay & Ye) will reportedly release the visual display for the instant classic slammer "N*ggas In Paris" sometime this week. According to an anonymous source at Vevo, the Jay-Z & Kanye West duo will make it available sometime over the next few days. Still no word on specifics...
Allure (OTTR) (Urban Noize Remix) by Jay-Z, Pharell & Lana Del Rey
Are you familiar with Urban Noize and their mixes? If you said no, I bet you’ve heard the Jay-Z and Adele mix they did called "Won’t Go Wishing" which was featured a while back. To say they’ve got the knack of picking tunes that slot together in perfection when they get mixing is an understatement.
Anything Lana Del Rey at the moment is hotter than Venus, so it’s a fair bet that this will rocket-up. Check out this mighty powerhouse of Jay-Z, Pharrell & Lana Del Rey with the track, "Allure (OTTR)."
Glory (feat. B.I.C.) by Jay-Z
"Glory," a new song from a proud new father. Jay-Z's homage to his new born daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Straight up and honest is the song's message, from struggles leading to genuine happiness. “Glory” discloses the couple’s previous miscarriage, false alarms, and even the moment when their child was conceived. (via spltlvng)
"Life just REALLY got good" was his message and attached with it is a photograph of the Empire State Building in the evening all blue.
“Baby I paint the sky blue, my greatest creation was you.”
War (feat. Freeway, Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel) by Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
Nick Catchdubs gave this song the mash-up treatment soon after it came out way back. Mr. Catchdubs brings the brass ensemble together with Philadelphia Freeway, Beanie Sigel, and Jay-Z through his mash-up. The lyrics that are laid over “War” are “What We Do” off of Freeway’s album Philadelphia Freeway. The two match up perfectly, showing the versatility of the music that the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble makes. (via MCWN)
Documentary: Kanye West VOYR (Episode 1) | World Leaders
I have for you here a "a behind-the-scenes perspective that's utterly self-indulgent, totally over the top, and actually pretty awesome" (via CraveOnline). A mini-documentary via VoyR which offers great footage of Chi-Town's (Kanye West) life on the road while on his Watch The Throne journey with New York (Jay-Z).
A video outfitted mostly with Ye's narration,which lays out some silky prose about who he wants at his funeral ("I want world leaders to be affected") and how he wants to be remembered. Watch out for moments with with Jay-Z, Raekwon, French Montana, Don C. and others.
"Okay, I'm doing music, but there's a bigger plan for me. It's like, I wasn't given this power for no reason. And now it's starting to open up."
Mixtape: Brooklyn.Chicago.London by Urban Noize
A big applause to the Florida-based production team of Urban Noize for coming up with this dope-up mash-up mixtape. A very skillful sample of what they bring up the table. How skillful, you ask? Almost mutant actually, by effortlessly combining three big names in Jay-Z, Kanye West and Adele in an album, that simple (Not!). 8-track rhymes on vocals experience. One of the best I've heard, ever! Pretty dope stuff!
Dub The Throne
This is how it sounds like when tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals are added to an album they call Watch The Throne.
