  1. SERIOUS

    This song is the new New York song………..I love them both Hov and Alicia….

  2. SERIOUS

    It is a video shoot with too very talented performers. It is not a divorce court or a twitter forum.

    Settle down people and stop concerning yourself other people lives you don’t know…
    Focus on stopping the violence in the black community and the spread of AIDS and reducing the increased prison population in the black community.

    Those are important issues in our society..

    Much Luv

    @THE TRUTH

    PREACH GIRL!!

  13. Jay Z corporate puppet!

    THE HOMEWRECKER AND THE CAMEL….UMM NEXT! THE SONG IS PLAYED OUT ALREADY!

    GHOSTFACE & SHEREEFA NEED TO MAKE A VIDEO TO “NOT THAT AVERAGE GIRL” JOINT!

    I AM SICK OF SEEING THE SAME OLE ARTIST! GEESH!

    I believe Jay was channeling Frank Sinatra’s I Love New York song when he wrote this. Pure Genius. I like Jay’s swagga – not like Dame Dash or Diddy running around bragging about what he has or what he’s working on. He keeps it low-key and very refined. That is the recipe for sustained wealth, and a powerful public-image and that is what should happen when one goes from the Marcy Projects to vacations in Prague . Not running around embarrasing us (KANYE) or going broke after bragging incessantly (DAMON) These fools started with Jay-Z they should take lessons from him. Berry Gordy used to put his artists through charm school teaching them etiquette and poise before hitting the public – as they represented us at that time and it was important then and should be now because even though some have $$ they still act very unclassy. Elevate people…you all follow everything Jay wears, does, says, drinks, etc now let’s emulate his behavior.

  15. I had to go there!

    Can’t wait to see the video. Side note: Bey might wanna watch A Keys around Jay…I’m just saying all humans are creatures of habit.

  16. Sasamina

    Damn, Alicia’s body is on point. I NEED that leather catsuit in my life!! Her hair is wack, but she’s lucky she’s so damn pretty.

    Ummm, Jay’s sweatpants look old and horrible. My guy dresses better than that and MY guy is broke as hell!!

  17. *****SINAJ*****

    agree @16. I wish people would stop making excuses for this girl…she played her part just like swizz. She just gets the grunt of it cause as a woman, and extreme activist she should know better. NE WAY..JAY, HONEY, MY LUV MUFFIN…do not attempt this outfit or replica again…EVER!

  18. HALCYONC

    Whatever..both overrated…Alicia needs to stop all that screaming…

  19. missy poo

    Ak outfit is really cute

  20. WOW

    A. KEYS AND JAY-Z ARE TWO OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT. THEIR PERSONAL LIVES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR TALENT SO STFU. SHOULD YOU BE CRITICIZED AT YOUR 9 TO 5 JOB BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU CLOCK OUT AND GO HOME? I DIDN’T THINK SO. LEARN TO SEPARATE THE ARTIST FROM THE PERSON. OTHERWISE YOU WOULD BE QUITE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU KNEW WHAT HALF OF THESE ARTISTS ARE OUT HERE DOING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

  21. CYRUS

    The constant Alicia Keys bashing is starting to get annoying. Haters are so quick to slap with with the “Homewrecker” label….but they ALWAYS give Swizz Beatz a pass! WTF??

  22. chi town-er

    Hov LOOKS RETARDED in the 2nd pic lol…..and his joggers lol come on wat dat lol. Hov is top 3 in his era. Im jus sayin lol

  23. Tabby

    They should have let Lil Mama appear in the video… I think the whole Music award situation killed the hype of the video…

  24. Real

    @133 Bitch please! I guess husband chasing whores need to come together as one, LOL!!!

  25. Trei-Sly

    Im surprised Lil Mama aint show up in the back outta no where… LoL.
