I loved this video. It was epic with great visuals. I know the Black and White thing was been done before, with the color ending, but I always love the effect like it’s brand new every time I see it.
Definitely a dope video and one of Jay’s best songs.
doesn’t anyone else feel like this video is a rip off of Respiration??? But jay-z style 2:08 is the same thing talib is wearing…. in Respiration…… could be inspired by Respiration oh well doesn’t matter this song is hot. All ny videos look the same anyways lol

karma, let’s start a “Drop Exhibit C In CDQ Jay, What You Waitin’ On?” campaign. Better yet a “Jay Elect, Drop The Album, What You Waitin’ On?” campaign. Or maybe a “Do Joints with Nasir, Jay Elect!” campaign.
Real talk from chicago, Tru Life New York is more than any Jay anthem, and come on now, when you plug a r & B singer on your terack than you sharring a track- Alicia making that move, so yall wrong for putting Tru Life name out there like someone forgot… I forgot taking Jay’s Carrerr after the Black album…
everyon else feel free to spread this, and after the cdq is out we change CDQ to Album.
oh and listen to this ra the rugged man and mayweather arguin on radio, amazing.. listen. shake/meka feel free to post it up and the campaign.. http://www.zshare.net/audio/676796581a1c2a9e/#at
I like it, but I don’t think it should have been in B&W. Jay’s already done it a few times, and I think New York can be appreciated much more in color.
Video is solid, nothing groundbreaking, but it does the job. Thought their VMA performance was more powerful (until Lil Mama had ruined it — that shit still makes me legitimately angry)
Shit dope as hell & Alicia Keys looking real NICEEEEE! Almost makes Jay look like a sidekick lol! Real nice visuals I already wanted to go to NY & this makes me want to even more!
Nahhh…Aint feelin Jay…Havent since BP2….
This video is siiiiiick!!!!!

I agree that it has powerful visuals but damn does Alicia Keys look awkward playing the piano. This track is warm. It’s full of live. I dig it.

Reminds me a bit of Kanye’s “Homecoming”, but I like that video better. Not hating, just saying.
How many Jay-Z fans do you think got the Special Ed reference?
What takes this song to another level for me is the beat and Alicia Keys vid ok what I expected
