I loooooooooooove this song. And Jay-z;)

i love it i love this song

I love this song. I was waiting so long for him to drop a video for this one; gotta love Hov.

Hell to the YEA!!!! Ain’t even watched the video yet but this is my ish!

That is one of my fav songs off that joint!! I love JIGGA!!!

this is awesome

LIL ZOE CAN GET THE BIDNESS FOREAL FOREAL! HOV CAME W/ IT ON AG!!!

Now im normally one to appreciating the visual aspects, and trying someting new, but this nigga is getting a lil hollyweird with this one. Take dem sandals off Jay.

i like how the song is symbolically written. good video and zoe looks prrretty as always

Good to see how much J has grown from da booty shakin n partyin video…..real nice….nice video

I didnt watch the vid but its jay……i know its good.

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 lovvvvvvvvvvvvvve this song. Jayz i love it. ++++++

different approach from a regular jay z video, gotta get use to it though…

This song is GREAT!
Vid is hot too.
Like someone said, it’s refreshing not to see ass shaking all over the place in a music video these days.

love the song, video is ok…like the visual effects. the video seems like each girl is high of something…like the afterglow of the high

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.

I love Jigga. Love this song.
Can’t wait to see him and MJB in DC in April!!!

Its fresh!!!

damn between this and the flashing lights video Rocafella fell off smh and there FALLING FALLING FALLING….lol i like the song but not this video

I love it, good one Hov.

LOVE this video!! This is the only song I like off of the CD. Zoe is gorgeous, beautiful bone structure.

@22, you must have fallen and hit your head lol.

” I Know” this ain’t sh!t…….the song or the video

I love this song, tha video is different and hot,
I can dig it..lol

Hell, i dont know about yall but i dig this song.

Now let me just watch video

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.

Good look’n vid. Hov is a iCon!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGG

I EFFIN LOVE THIS FREAKIN SONG YO

VIDEO….SO SO….

ZOE IS VERY PRETTY

one of my fav songs on the album…..alot of niggaz slept on that album too….it was ridiculous…i love it…go Jay!….u a lil late wit this one but do you…

Ya’ll like the melody because my boo Pharrell produced it. Star Trak!!

damn! i am not feeling it! they should’ve went with Party Life

I don’t get it…

yeah party life is def a banger too….party life be having me feeling good.like im 50 and at a bar and i don had a couple of drinks lol…..

1. The cinematography is horrible! Much like the movie “Belly,” I couldn’t see shit!
2. I didn’t get it! Creative freedom my ass…. Even Jay didn’t get it!
3. As broke as I am, they could have given me the loot they blew on that shit

This was my song until I started hearing it like everyday now sadly Im kinda getting sick of it though Zoe looks so pretty in the video its definitely not one of my favorites it coulda been better….

ok, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Jay but I have to hold my comment till I see this shyt on TV…I can’t see it clear on here..toooo dark!

Now as for AMERICAN GANGSTA…..Man oh man are u sleep’n if u don’t have this on your ipod!!!

The album is sick, from American Dreamin to Say Hello, Fallin to Sweet to Ignorant Niggas and most deffiantly… Party Life “Im on her bra straap…she on my dyckkk, ain’t nothing wrong wit dat, dats my biotchhhh. She use to MILLION DOLLA vacations, fUUUkk yall gone do wit dat”"”???? MAN, I can quote all night the fiy fiy lyrics on that album…

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. H O V fo LIFE!!!

Oh and that the hottest chick in the GAME he’s referring too!

Very Artistic. Very Yeezy-istic.Absolutely Loved it.

i love this song and all your music

THE SONG IS HOT! THE VIDEO IS DOA!!!!!

Don’t like tha song or tha video!

I could barely see anything in the video.

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.

yea it was very dark I thought that was my comp

i’m not crazy about the video its different because jay isn’t in it but to me its a little confusing and dark

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

Just had to say I love the video one more time. lol, yes its that serious.

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

OH LAWDY, is it my eyes or is the video dark?!? cant say i liked it or hated it, cuz i can barely see it!

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.

:-/ I’m confused.

Anyhoo… Zoe looks beautiful.

I really like this song but the video was too dark and zoe looked pretty as usual.

@ 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.

This was hot! I love this CD, I don’t care what people are saying. This album is hot!

This is stupid, I hate it when people TRY so hard to be “different” they ending coming out with wack ish. *cough* kanye west flashing light video *cough*

maybe i’m just slow but, i didn’t get it

like, what was the message/point? or was it like kanye’s “flashing lights,” just a video?

boring…………….yawning

boring…………..yawning

I so freakin’ luv this song!!! I bump it in the car whenever I hear it! And although I am not a Jay-Z Fanatic, you can’t sleep on skills or artistry…..
I see people two-steppin’ and rockin’ in the club off this ova-and-ova

Pharrell do it babyeee

I LIKE the video because, not only is it ‘Ye- ish, it clean, beautiful, and simply futuristic in a sense that it’s not Missy Elliott- she’s one who you can have a hard time understanding concepts

The song is ok… Could have been better, but that’s the state of Hip Hop now sadly…

this is my favorite song. and is it just my computer or was the video really dark and hard to see?

#58, ok I thought I was the only one who thought the damn video was to dark.

HOT off the PRESSES…..Angel, you might want to do a post on this. Gossip to go with Flo said Nicole S (lead singer of pussy cat dolls) was on Jay-z’s lap at a GRAMMY party. Girl it done hit the fan. PLEASE do a post about this.

ok, am i the only one who doesn’t get this video at all???? YES IT WAS 2 DAMN DARK! i like the song (matter fact i’m gonna download it rite now :), but i swear i don’t understand….lol

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).

Angel, don;t forget to post the story that Nicole S from the pussy cat dolls was all up on Jay-z’ s lap at a grammy party. Gossip to go with Flo in NY said this and she is pretty accurate on her information.

video is niice. it’s something different and creative…o, the video is supposed 2 be dark. listen 2 the lyrics

I like the song, and I will admit that there are a couple of other good singles from “American Gangster”. The album was under- rated, and over-bootlegged.

As for the video, I get the concept.
But I also wonder if some easily influenced “youngins” will try to go capture that “feeling” Zoe has in the video.
Being a druggie is NOT glamorous. Gets an A for creativity though…

The video is dark because you have to listen to lyrics because the lyrics are dark. The song is about a girl who loves ex and take ex trips or LSD whatever drug. If you look at the video and listen to the song, it’s very vivid. Zoe is a young girl and plus MTV and BET and other music television channels have strict viewing process on what videos should be played so if they actually showed her using the drugs, that wouldn’t have been appropriate so the director just used her extacy trips vision as a clear indication of her loving the drug because it takes her on a ride.

YO I AM REALLY FEELING THIS FREAKING SONG AND VIDEO. dayum jay u just cant stop man. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVE IT. I LOVE IT!!!!!

NY is BACK!!!!!

Damn the video but this song is STILL FIRE!

This song is sooooooo FIYAH! I didnt expect him to do a song for this video but whatever I was hoping he would do Fallen but this song reminds me of Allure from the Black Album! JIGGA!

Wow some people bought American Gangster?…and even more shocking Jay Z still alive?

@ 68. I’ve got three words for you seriously, Get A Life.

You can’t watch this vid once and expect to even begin to understand this video. You have to watch it a couple of times.

I likes Jay, I likes. . . and so did that chick(s) at the end. Girlfriend was high as a kite.

@78 stop hating boo Jay Z went platinum with this album

THE VIDEO IS STUPID. WOULD’VE BEEN BETTER IF JOE CAMEL WAS LIP SYNCING THE LYRICS. NOW I’D VOTE FOR THAT FOR SURE LMFAOOO!!!

I always like the song, but this video well I don’t know what to say. I was looking at it and at the same time I was thinking of something else. Kinda like the episode on the dave chapelle show. I was trying to focus but I just kept looking away from it thinkin about what I was gonna eat later. I hope the video is a lil brighter on tv cause I really couldn’t see what was going on. If jay z was in it I didn’t even know cause it was black as flavor flav in there. Wow I can’t believe I am saying this but I rather had the booty shaking and the drinks in the air. I know what you thinkin , but atleast it would have my attention.

uh..wut a weirdo video……very random dream-like and kelis-esque……….looooove the song tho

IT’S THE ROC U BASTARDS lol LUV LUV LUV the video great concept great visuals i agree with e- money definitely fav for best video just tthe way the video cosigns with the lyrics kudos jay you never disappoint

lovin the video! but i’m into that artistic shit anyway…lol

neptunes still can make a good beat…lol

I LOVE THIS SONGIT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITES BY JAY-Z AND I DON’T LIKE TO MANY OF HIS SONGS.

ZOE LOOKS PRETTY N THE VIDEO…BUT CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE VIDEO TO ME B.C I DON’T GET IT. I THOUGHT IT SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 4 DIFFERENT PEOPLE’S STORIES..BUT I ONLY SAW ZOE

I FEEL LIKE IM THE ONLY MUHFUCKA NOT TO UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO, MAYBE ITS CAUSE I COULDNT SEE IT? LOL….AND I REALLY WANTED THEM TO SHOW SOME LOUBOUTINS! LOL…

A PLOT MAYB, J?

Why would he have chicks shakin their asses in the video? The song is about a female who is addicted to coke/heroin throughout the song she battles with her addictions tryin 2 quit Jay is speakin like he is the drug! I am happy he went w/this song its my favorite I like party life & all the others but this ones different the whole album was great!

My favourite song from the A.G. Album. The beat is SO much…I got “access denied” when I tried to peep the video though-is it cos am in the UK?

THIS IS ONE FO THE BEST SONGS ON THE FREAKIN CD DUDE omg I LOVE PHARELL ON THE HOOK . JAY-Z WENT SUPER HARD ON THIS AMERICAN GANGSTA CD I THINK THIS CD GOES DOWN IN THE HISTORY BOOK FOR ME. LOVE THE GIRL IN THE VIDEO . . .. . JAYZ GETS 2 KUDOS FROM ME

Didn’t like the video! TOO DARK!!!! but i love the song!!
Zoe is a wierdo!!!

I have been listening to this song since I bought the CD. I love it! And I love Zoe Kravitz!

Damn I really love this!!! The song and vid are definitely hot…man you gotta love the unexpected! Never would I have guessed in a million years the video for this song was going to be sooooo creative!

Jay has taken a line outta Kanye’s vids for this one…its a goodlook!

this one of my favorie songs from he album

actually liked the video its different if u listen to som of the words the video actually plays a cool part

Now what’s up is barely seeing Camel during the video!!!

I loved it…Zoe looked hot and it was cool theme to it…Nice!

Ummmmmmmmm Umma Jigga fan forever, but I’m not feeling this video…at all!

This is my song! Yes the video is dark and was a little strange at first but it does fit the lyrics….It wouldnt let me watch the video on here tho, i had to go on youtube!

I WAS WAITING FOR A VIDEO FOR THIS SONG.

THE SONG WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT HAD ME HOOKED-LOL! ITSN’T THAT WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT BEING HOOKED?

This video was so damn dark I couldn’t see a damn thing!

Video is mad dark… can barely make anything out. Monitor must suck. =[

THE SONG IS GOOD BUT THE VIDEO…IS NOT A GOOD LOOK. YOU CANT EVEN SEE WHAT IS GOING ON.

@78 stop hating boo Jay Z went platinum with this album

For the self proclaimed “Greatest Rapper Of All Time” I would hardly count that as anything compared to 50 and Kanye…even Rhi Rhi done that…he needs to give it up 45 yr olds have no business rapping its disgusting like a 40 yr old gangster with corn rows…not hating JMO

I Love you BABY!! Jay is one sexy ass negro..MMMM..well his swag..atleast.

well… since the song is about a drug addiction, it makes sense that the characters look high… right? right.

mr jayz does your soul belong to me hummmmmmmmmmmmmm? WE’LL BE SEE’N YOU DOWN BELOW……………………..

i dont get it..

THiS is My SHiT i LOVE THiS SONG.. i REMEMBER WHEN i FiST HEARD THA SONG ON VH1 BOUT TiME HE COME OUT WiT A ViDEO

Okay, I love Jay, but… how the F*&^% you do a video and not be in it. The video was coo, but I want to see Jay in his video. Creativity is great and all, but I was disconnected from the video when I didn’t see him…but I STILL LOVE THE ALBUM!!

————————————————-
Thats why I dont talk to idiots because theyre communication lacks logic., WtTF does that mean? Do you even know? SMH
anyways luv the video and the song the whole things like an LSD trip which is along the content of the song..if u dont get in then it sucks to be you!

MAN! Do any of you even listen to the song’s lyrics???? Talking about how much you love the song. LOL….So, it really gets me how so many people who bump this song everyday and don’t get the video…DAMN SHAME

Clearly, the video nor the song isn’t literal. Each character that Zoe plays in the video has something that that gives them high. The street girl’s high is love for her boyfriend, the rich lady’s vice is her material wealth (jewels, clothing, home, etc.), the girl in the projects vice is the street life, and the girl in the club vice is club life.
