not feeling it.

boring

ZZZzzz

ALICIA KEYS IS A HOMEWRECKER.

JAY-Z ADVOCATES WICKIDNESS.

i love it

video could have been better imo

jayz is a devil worshipper

Damn I love being from NY… showcased my home beautifully, good look hype

it was cool, loved the imagery, it was deffinately different and some of you are so closed minded that u cant except anything if it doesnt have a fat ass or a shiny chanin in it so of course u didnt like it. i could have done without the piano in the middle of times square. we all know u play the damn piano alicia!! but other than that cliche it was AWESOME

LOVE THE VIDEO!!!

I’m Feeling it

This song deserves the number one spot, it’s good music !

What a beautiful tribute to their hometown!!

LOVE IT
LOVE THE SONG
THE VIDEO
THEM 2
LOVE IT

could have been better but i still LOOOVE the song

i like the video but it doesn’t inspire/hype me since i’m not from there

I think the video is decent. I looove the song though.

Luv the video, I’m so proud to be a new yorker:)

Is it me or Jay never really gets close with a girl while filming a video? strange. I guess Beyonce got him on her bitchy finger.
While Beyonce flirting with every men in her videos. Jay doing aint shitt!

I can’t look at AKeys, yet alone listen to her music anymore………smh……..Keys, go back to your second album and listen you ur own song….u know “Karma……what goes around, comes around, what comes up must come down!” …….Take notes!

I like it it!!! I wanna go to New York!!!

WHATEVER……….someone pass the gasoline and a match and lets see how fast this crappy shit burns!

YAAAAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER MUSIC VIDEO IF LIL MAMA WAS IN IT.

I love this song just love the chorus actually

loved the imagery, Jay-Z taking a cue from Bey, with Black & White Video
No longer a huge fan of Alicia Keys (homewrecker), I know she don’t care, I know she is still going to make money, but this comment section is here for what —to leave comments.

She looked like a damn fool..hunched over the piano, she should have either sat her azz down at it or not had it in the video at all. Also, her records will sell, but I’m starting to notice a trent with her songs, all she does is YELL! now…”No One” yelling, her new single “yelling” she is highly overated. Now Melanie Fiona that girl can sang and he’s she’s pretty, but she wont get the hype that Rihanna and Alicia get for um..doing nothing.Anyway Jay is hot, I wondered how it would have turned out if Bey sang the hook.

I like the song. Video is nothing too special.

Um Alicia is hunched over singing her a song…I am originally from New York and I do not like the song… Enough said the song is only ok…

ii just love alicia keys & Jayz wuz so proud of his city.
but (record stops) this b***** know she can’t dance ..
she look silly
i mean come on, just take out some money cuz we know you got bank amd take a dance class …aint no reason in the world yy she need to be dancing like that and she got enough money for dance lessons.
but besidez that brief moment i took to talk s*** she did good.

ALICIA LOOKS NICE..

There are so many crazy haters chicks over here who want to bring Alicia Down…it’s scary !

Stupid jealous bitches!

@#9 AND #26……..Stop acting like your the REAL Beyonce! Get a Life Donkey!!!

I love Jay I love Keys I love the song and although I am living in New York but not a born or raised here makes me feel less homesick…

@27: Could you shut your big mouth ? thanks sweetie.

It was ok. I’m still feeling the song mostly Alicia Keys on the hook, but again the video was just aight. I miss the cute and sweet Alicia w/ the beads in her hair.

alicia is such a beautiful girl she looks chunky though did she gain weight? pretty nonetheless

Also “yelling” is Alicia Keys signature sound. She been doing it since “Fallen” so what’s different now? When it comes to talent Alicia and rihanna shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. I never saw “one” successful album get someone so much hype.

To those who proclaim their christianity and believe that their favorite music and or muscians won’t effect you, hearing the phrase “Jesus can’t save you” over and over and over again is bound to have an effect on you. This uncle tom knows what he’s doing. I mean sheesh he mentioned His name (be it the real name or not) twice in the song.

Maybe his blood “bleeds blue” because he’s a reptilian. I mean Lil Wayne calls himself an Alien. Maybe that’s Jay’s way of letting us know he’s not completely human.

cosign @TOONS

dis ma joint rite hea the video is exactly what i thought it would be showing different types of imagery of new york but i dont agree with what he is saying about JESUS CHRIST because what ever team JESUS CHRIST is paying with im following him and JESUS CHRIST saves any and everything please believe it..

LOVE THIS VIDEO!

LOVE THAT IT’S SHOT IN B&W.

JAY IS THE KING OF THIS. ALICIA LOOKS AMAZING.

DYMANIC DUO

ALICIA IS NOT “CHUNKY” YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK!

@ Beyonce is a songwriter Liar
your name and comment are both hilarious! why do u spend so much time caring bout what beyonce does and doesn’t do if you don’t like her? so foolish
and wtf do you expect jay and alicia do in the video? kiss, cuddle or what? i’m lost….they’re both honoring their hometown in the song so there’s no need for any intimacy. beyonce on the other hand, sings emotional love songs which is why she’s usually ‘close’ with the man in the video…..wow! it really isn’t difficult thinking before commenting!
anihoo, i LOVE the song and video!

Beyonce wouldve owned. Too bad she’s reppin TX.
I refuse to support a homewrecker sorry. But Jay gets two thumbs up!

sooo agree with # 7…
i expected the video to be along thse lines n e wayz!! sooo im not disappointed or pround!!
love they reppin were they from

Where was lil MAMA !

Alicia is not any home wrecker!

People try and throw salt at Alicia based off one sided BS stories by a woman who can’t accept that her Husband wanted to end the relationship LONG before he even spoke with Alicia.

Alicia is a STRONG and Empowered woman and I’m so proud of her!

Alicia you keep doing you and ignore the Chit Chat from people who hate themselves.

NEW YORK!

SONG IS F**KING HOT! Vid is okay, at best.

LOL @ Richy. I was asking the same thing!!! HAHAHA

lmao@44 Richy I was thinking the SAME damn thing….her face should be somewhere in the video…that still makes me giggle!

lovee the song. love alicia.

eh, it’s a video. i think this song resonates most for new yorkers…of which i’m not…

Awwww I love the video, I just moved to ATL from NYC and they showed my block “145th and broadway” Im so homesick, there is no place like NEW YORK CITY… REAL TALK

THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!This is what music videos use to be,simple and to the point,no extras,the song is about New York and so is the video that’s the way it’s supposed to be,singers and rappers don’t do videos like this anymore and that’s a part of the problem.

Jen, that’s real talk girl, i agree, Amen.

Well he only says that once. But if your faith and mind is soo feeble that just the mention of those words shakes your foundation, then you have bigger issues.
Also moron, perhaps you should take a look at the lyrics in context, as opposed to chery picking some words to promote that sensationalist propoganda.

Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
so they can step out of bounds quick,
the side lines is blind with casualties,
who sipping life casually, then gradually become worse,
don’t bite the apple Eve, caught up in the in crowd,
now your in-style, and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim, good girls gone bad
the cities filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,
came here for school, graduated to the high life,
ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,
M.D.M.A got you feeling like a champion,
the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien

Now let me explain this to you, for some reason such techniques as similies and metaphors are lost on you internuts, and youtube cult members.

In this verse he is discussing the many of young women who come to New York with big dreams only to lose themselves in the fast life.
In fact Ive heard my own pastor discuss how many “Christians” who claim to be saved stop being so once service is over,so the lyrics are not meant to conjure up fear and doubt of faith.
How many people do we know have been “saved” but still lose themselves?

How many people do we know who attend church services frequently but seem to lead double lives?
—————————————————————————————————————–

So with that in mind, how can you listen to these lyrics and determine that Jay-Z is trying to “brainwash” you out of your faith?

You people are complete and utter morons, so stupid its downright scary.

@Camel Lights
He’s saying he “bleeds blue” because he is associated with the dark BLUE yankee hat.
Also reptiles have RED BLOOD you IDIOT, the only animals that have blue blood are crustaceans!

How can you people be so uneducated, and in the same breath claim to be enlightened?

Like I said you people are SCARY STUPID

#53 he is giving me what I need in this video.I just wish some of these other rappers would get their shit together and put out real music.I haven’t heard too many songs lately that I’m going to be talking about past this year.

I was reading Faith Evan’s book for the second time recently and as she talks about the music that was out at the time,it made me feel so down about the music that we are subjected to now.When you place music and music videos from this era next to music videos and music from the 80s and 90s it’s a slap in the face to see what we are given now and expected to accept.I just can’t deal with the bad music anymore.

#54 LOST MY PURITY RING - woow, I couldn’t have “said” it better myself! Agree with everything you typed!

—-

I really like the video - makes me want to be from New York!

I dig it… clean, on point & simple….DOPE….. I’m a visual person so it’s nice…..

The video is in line with the lyrics, don’t understand why some people feel obliged to hate anything they see.
The song is about NY, the video shows NY streets, ect. what’s wrong with that?
Jay abd AK did a good job!!!!!

THANK U # 41, U ARE SO RIGHT!! WELL SAID.

I had to watch it a couple of times, its a good vid. Pays homage to NYC very nicely!!! A Keys in Time Square a lil over the top. It would be nice if they can perform at same spot on New Years Eve.

Not a Jay Z fan….but Alicia made this song…not from New York..so it really doesn’t get me all excited like it does Lil Mam etc…

The video was great! Alicia can sang her ass off. The video really gave me a feel of what NYC was all about. For all yall thats making a big deal about Alicia being a homewrecker, and Beyonce should watch her man. I could have swore this was just a video about NYC, both people are from there. So hate on Alicia for some shit that yall dont even have the facts about.. Ya’ll Beyonce fans are crazy as hell for real. No matter what post it is yall have to bring this chic up some type of way uh.. lol

OK, first I must say if Alicia didn’t offer such a great hook, I probably wouldn’t listen to this song. And I know the concept is surrounding the city but I feel like there is so much more that could’ve been done to make it more appealing visually…I mean watching it was just boring. I kinda want Jay-Z to just stop now, and am probably the only NYer who feels as such, but hey, I believe his time is up.

i love it.

lmao @ where’s Lil mama!

Great song but me being a New Yorker I wouldve wanted them to capture more of new york rather than just mainly the city.

This song is my joint right here. As a Native New Yorker, I enjoyed the video. Love Alicia, she will have plenty of fans regardless to what people say about her. People are too quick to judge. IT IS HER PERSONAL LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIND YOURS !!!!!!!!

@Lost My Purity Ring

All lyrics by top artists are written in “helter skelter” witch speak, which mean one thing to the profane, but something else to those in the know. It’s known as “double-talk” or coded cipher. The intent is to appeal to the subconscious mind and the heart chakra. There are fools on here, like yourself, who are waiting for Jay-Z or some of these other top artists to have a press conference in which they acknowledge that they worship Satan lol. That is not going to happen because Satan’s power is in deception and subterfuge. This is why in ancient Rome, he was known as “Saturn” or “the hidden one”.

All that aside; just from a basic perspective, the praising and glorification of a city, or hood, or project is so tired and stupid.

PRETTY MUCH WHAT I EXPECTED…NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.

NICE, BUT NOTHING I WOULD WATCH OVER AND OVER. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I’M PERSONALLY SICK OF THE SONG ALREADY.

the song is ill, we all know that first off. i love the video because i love new york and i miss it, i was there this summer but i live in cali… but yeah kinda could’ve done w/out the piano like someone said, they had me rolling, but it had a nice effect.
but yeah… so the wait is over. good job guys. i liked the color change too but the black and white was sick.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

Love the song, but the video is a disappointment.

On another note, wtf is up with never looking directly at the camera? lol. Always turning his head to the side. And if he is looking at it, he’s wearing shades. Mad sus.

yeah i don’t care much for the vid

will say though that there is NO place like new york, it’s the best city in the US
