VIDEO: JAY-Z – “I KNOW”

February 26th, 2008

Here is Jay-Z’s new video for the song “I Know” off of the American Gangster album. The video was directed by Philip Andelman and features Zoe Kravitz. The video is described as “a surreal, daydream-like blending of four separate and unrelated stories, four unique trips taken on by four girls in one night in New York City.” That’s wassup.

    this song rocks. I really love the melody. And kudos to Jayz for thinking differently and growing from 14 hoodrats shaking in a club. You go brotha!

    I’m not fooled because he don’t have booty shaking broads.Maybe the target of booty-shaken chicks is not for chicks because chicks hate.The song and video is ok.

    Hmm..

    The song is hot but wow… the average video chick can act better than Zoe. If your acting looks bad in a video, this is not good news.

    1. The cinematography is horrible! Much like the movie “Belly,” I couldn’t see shit!

    it’s definitely dfferent…hopefully it’s not as dark on television. to the people with negative comments, rappers can’t win for losing. i’m not a jay-z superfan, nor am i a superartistic or a video critic…but i have to respect this video…we complain time and time again about women showing their asses in videos and just seeing video hoes and then when someone puts something out their that doesn’t have that, we don’t like that either. the video matches the song well…each girl has their vice…something that gets them high…and i love the fact that it was actually a video for the song…not about the artist. you barely saw jay-z at all. i don’t think the video sucks i just think it’s differents from the exploitation we’ve been seeing and we don’t even realize how brainwashed we are…we have to start somewhere…well done jay.

    I’m now reminded how underrated Jay’s cinematic game is. The concept in his (Jay-Z) video, completely has the visualization that many imagined for “Flashing Lights” (Basically that video should’ve been for Kanye’s video). I would like to see how others feel about that because I really think the Jay should win Video of the Year right now, based on that video. I think it would make great dialogue to discuss. Thank
    You.

    I haven’t seen the video yet but the song is praise worthy (imo). I always pictured the treatment for this video to star someone like Zoe or maybe homegirl from Baby Boy to play the strung out junkie who finally gets the reality check needed to kick her habit. Can’t what to see it.

    I love, love this video! Cotdamn it’s hot. Its on of those songs you listen to with your headphones on, eyes closed, and just chill. My favorite scene is the party one, it reminds me of when the party reaches it peak and everyone is sweaty, and just moving with melody..not even thinkin, just feeling

    i like the funkdaified remix of this song but don’t care for the actual song

    the vid was ok. i don’t think it was bad bt i could’ve been tightened. i love the starry breathign going on so the visuals were there but idk, something was missing. def better than kanye who disappointed me big time

    This is a song that put on repeat frequently, so I guess I had high expectations for the video…To make a long story short, I found the video boring! Maybe it’ll grow on me, or better yet maybe I need to see it on TV.

    @ 22, i agree.
    ….i feel like ‘Ye and Jay were trying a little too hard to convey some underlying msg. then again, i didn’t exactly want the stereotypical rap video (aka club, girls dancing, champagne bottles popping, etc).

    i’m sure it will grow on me. as of now, i can’t quite grasp the meaning behind the video. i couldn’t help but think that this would be more appropriate for ‘Ye’s flashing lights video, lol.
