    It looks hot but what do I really know in 30s.

  2. K.O.

    Jay has seriously been gettin on my nerves lately for some reason…But I am curious about this video. I love the contrast from just lookin at Chris Brown to Ri-Ri…I am not mad at her…She probably is goin to be the best part of the video!

  3. NO BRAINWASH HERE

    YOU DEVIL WORSHIPERS, THAT WAS A ILLUMANTI RITUAL .EVIL, DARK, SEE PPL WHEN ONE TAKE A OATH PLEDGE YOUR ALLEGIENCE IS TO THE CULT ,SECRET SOCITIES, LIKE THIS UP PLEASE.IM SICK OF THIS CAMELTOE LOOKING MF, CONGAY, AND JEZEBAL.ILLUMANTI SUN DEITIES…GOD = GOOD WE WHEN.HE ALSO SAID HIS A MASON,COME ON

  4. Hmmmmm

    Um…I don’t know what to make of this video. I mean it was a real short clip, but this vid looks weird as hell! They making those devil worshipping rumors real hard to go away with this look and all that underground shit. I’m starting to believe the rumors now! SMH!

  5. I really can’t stand Robyn’s voice on this track for some reason.

  6. Bushwick

    god would you shut the hell up #3
    damn this devil worshiping talk, that shit is making me not want to come to this site anymore because Im tired of 300 comments of someone deciding someone is a devil worshiper becuase they wear black.

  7. Kyla

    Ugh! Hate when MTV videos are posted – I can never see it because MTV is “unable to offer this video to users in my region”

  8. paradise110

    I agree with K.O.
    I am not feeling Jay-Z this time around…
    Maybe it will grow on me… : /

  9. NEXT! All three of them need to get back to the drawing board. And Rihanna wailing in the background is not helping

  10. Mellow

    It looks like how disturbia looked

  11. K.O.

    The video is a bit dark….But I guess that is what is suppose to be in now with that whole TWLIGHT and TRUE BLOOD thing or whatever. I know people are going to reinforce that devil crap but it is what it is. Jay know what he doin! He know yah’ll buy into that. Best form of promotion I guess.

  12. mrsjones

    ok seriously that video looks scary. They need to quit with this shit, people already starting to think they are satanic and shit

  13. mzrepresented

    I cant see the video cause Im at work : (

    But from what yall have been saying about devil worshipping etc… I wouldnt

    be surprised lol.

    I LOVE RI-RI and Kanye though! Jay-Z not so much.

    I refuse to call him “HOVA or J-HOVA” Whatever…

  14. kiah

    i love ri ri so much. she is a hot bish

  15. pms

    CTFU!!!

    here we go with the stans talking that ignorance devil illuminati nonsense again.

    Man, all you have to do is start foolishness and idiots will promote it on every single blog. roflmmfaoooooooooooo

  16. Bushwick

    It’s actually a pretty hot video, I like it thus far, not sold on the song though. I’m tired of Rihanna’s EEEEHHHH’S aye, aye, aye in every damn song, get a new phrase.

  17. emoney

    Lovin the snipet! i cant wait to see the full video

  18. Bushwick

    I’m telling you, for these conspiracy theorists to consider them selves so “enlightened” they sure aint the smartest bunch.

    I posted fake funny comments disguising my self as one of them, saying the dumbest sh*t I could think of, and ALL OF THEM AGREED WITH ME and co-signed all the dumb thing I was saying. They consider them selves so much smarter then everybody else but they aint too bright, and are more “sheepish” then they claim every one else to be. lol

  19. ???Seriously???

    ???Seriously???….Why are people making Jay-Z bigger thatn what he is???…A thirty second preview…you got to be kidding me…

  20. Lavi

    Say what you want. It looks funny on mute.

  21. Intrigue216

    Well, I can’t make a determination as to whether this video is hot or not with this short clip. Are they underground in hell or something starting the mason cult? What is going on in this creepy video?

  22. Bushwick

    Yeah the 30 second preview, is a bit ostentatious, I mean the only reason Jay-Z is still even relevant is becuase all the rappers out now, suck so much. The big deal being made about his new album aint because of him because the quality of his work is deteriorating. His songs are filled with hooks and nonsensical filler bars, that don’t really mean anything, or the same thign he’s been doing, spitting one of biggies old rhymes.

  23. Latrina

    RIHANNA FTW
    ANYTHING WITH RIHANNA IN WILL BE HOT.

  24. K.O.

    When will Jay seriously just retire? I swear he should of left on the top of his game with The Black Album and do like random guest appearances for acts…He must be seriously bored!

  25. Jamilah

    Damn I played it 2x and still could not get a clear picture of what was going on. I have a headache in my eye. Seriously.

  26. Kyla

    Yay it’s no longer an MTV video.

    LOOL! The first thing I thought of when I saw this video was “devil worshippers.” Lol all this Jay-Z/Rihanna/Kanye devil worshipping stuff is stuck in my head. Everyone who believes in the devil worshipping thing will sure have fun blogging/commenting about this video!

    Anyways can’t really tell much about the video since it’s a short clip but wanna see the whole video!

    #16 BUSHWICK – Loool!

  27. flofan09

    ughh. mtv is going to play this video all day.

  28. sxcighanamamii

    looked like ill love it. :]

  29. sxcighanamamii

    #27, you ARENT EVEN LYING!!

  30. JCUTIE

    HAHAHAHA@ #9, I feel ya. When I first heard it I was like what-tha…hahahaha.

    The snippet kinda reminds of Tupac and Dr. Dre oldskool video…dam can’t think of it…dam..I can sing it but can’t think of the name of it ..o well!

  31. ☆Lola A♏ ★

    I agree with #5 LadyTroublesome, I don’t like Rihanna’s voice on the chorus either. Very irritating/annoying.

    So far the song has yet to grab me, and it doesn’t look like the vid will help if that snippet is any indication of what’s to come.

  32. johnosahon

    30.JCUTIE

    california?

  33. johnosahon

    25.Jamilah

    LOL, you are so right, the snippet has TOLD BE NOTHING about the video, the camera is moving too randomly to get a clear picture as to what is going on there.

  34. I LOVE THIS GAME

    For some of you slow ppl out their this ,,,, ,,,,, Song has a Lot to do with the Current events of this NATION with OBAMA the frist BLACK President,,,, he is in a fight of his life , Against the RACIEST AMERICANS of this Nation , AND especially with all that he’s doing to change the MEDICAL Situation for the poor , and normal families and Generation’s to come ,,,,

  35. Gavinluvsbeyonce

    So i’m seeing that this is all some type of a cult?..I’m so inn i know Beyonce is in so like i’m def in..This video looks hot so far…questionable with the cult thing but hott!

  36. Lola

    i think rihannas voice sounds annoying this this clip. dont get me wrong, i like actually like her as an artist, but this… not her finest moment. :/

  37. blueprint 3

    THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE QUEENS 6TH #1 EFFORTLESSLY

  41. theComplex

    Love the song, can’t wait to see the video in FULL.
    The clip just annoyed me.

  42. bored

    I dont care what it has to do with this or that, people are not feeling it like they thought! Little Miley Cyrus beat them out and he’s not taking it well so they show this snippet hoping it will boost some more sales..How Pathetic, the Dynamic Trio got beat by One little Country Girl…

    Rihanna in that VOICE! is what messed it up and the arrogrance of that man is another. He copeis also, reminds me a lot of Dr. Dre and Tupac’s video of what I’ve seen…

    Her voice in this song really does something to my ears and I’m not trying to be funny, she sounds terrible..

  43. Alaysia

    I love Rihanna to death but she should’ve used auto tune on this song like she did on Live Your Life because it sounds kinda annoying.

  44. JACKTHERIPPER

    looks boring

  45. Jazz

    I think of the movie “The Warriors” when I think of this. It’s one of my fav movies. Hopefully it’s something like that.

  46. sara

    Jay-Z must didn’t get the memo :people think he a satanic nut or he does not care

  47. GIGi

    This song is so so so wack.. This is horrible. Rihanna non singing ass needs to go somewhere even Jay-Z verse is corny.. This song is not hot at all.. uggh… It makes me wanna slap somewhere when I her RiRI whiny voice. She can not sing at all or have any talent so why is she famous.. Where are the real singers? Keyshia Cole or Estelle should have sung the hook…

  48. I LOVE THIS GAME

    RIH SINGS BETTER THEN MOST of you Fools ,,,,,

    Beyonce SINGS LIKE SOME KIND OF Fu*king SWAMP FROG , I THINK THAT THESE ARE BEYONCE PPL TALKING SHIT .

    THE PERSONS THAT Really can sing in today INDUSTRY GAME is JENNIFER HUDSON , Mariah Carey , AND WITHNEY HUSTON .

    JLO – — CAN NOT SING

    BEYONCE — CAN NOT SING

    SOLONGE — CAN NOT SING

    CICI – CAN NOT SING

    janet jackson – CAN NOT SING – she has KNOW FU*KING VOICE .

    Britney Spears—- CAN NOT SING

    AND THE LIST CAN keep going , so BEYONCE ppl try looking at YOUR OWN GOD’S LIKE THE ——— KNOWLES SISTER’S THE COPY RAT’S ,,, BEFORE YOU TALK SHIT …..

  49. Bushwick

    49

    Kill yo self for trying to say eyocne can’t sing and Rihanna can. I’m telling you these stans don’t care how stupid they look in the persuit of defending their little disposable interest, i.e. Rihanna.

  50. Steupz

    Rihanna’s singing seems painful

  51. POSITIVE CHICK

    The video is not what’s up lol. Something about it is very off and I’m not hating when I say this

  52. MONICA

    Death of an Autotune this is not a recession this is a depression and yes this video looks depressing Devil worshipping music

  53. Fee {C Breezy's Certified Fan}

    here we go with the Rhianna vs. Beyonce madness. I wonder if some of you have deep psych issues. Do you guys sleep with their pictures under the pillows? Seek help because when you worship a bish that could care two cents about ya a$$ sumthin is not right.

  54. wtf

    dnt like dark shit..its got tupac written all over it mixed with satanism…hate it and cant stand rihanna’s whinning!!! she makes my ears bleed!!!

  55. MONICA

    I would really like to know how this run things has anything to do with Obama, there is no such thing as republican or democrat they are all run by the same people, go an do your research an ask yourself why all countries only have two Governments. Jay is part of the system. why didn’t they wear Black panthers outfits with red berets instead of them being draped in bullets and Rhianna with her skull an bones, red devil claws. Jay throws up the Triangle which is just like Amway pyramid scheme ,same secrecy,the more crap you sell the more money you make it’s all a big rip off an illlusion Trust me Jay is working to a high position just like Oprah

  56. Sara

    I’ve been playing this song for 2 weeks now (limewire) and I can’t take Rihanna’s voice anymore. Isn’t she singing the same “EEEHHHH” as in “Live Your Life”

  57. Nakia

    uh…..when did the devil worshiping garbage get started? and if the video is supposed to be devil worship friendly because it’s “dark” then….what about this website?

  58. tweet

    THEY ARE 3 FOOLS, TRYING TO BE NOTICED, IF YOU’RE SO GREAT, THAN WHY TRY SO HARD. THEY ARE 3 DEVILS, FACE THE MUSIC, BUT ALOT OF YOU WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS A HOLD ON YOU AS HE DO THESE 3 . I REBUKE YOU SATAN IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!
