Somehow Jay-Z passed me by till recently, but I'm making up for lost time, with Blueprint, Reasonable Doubt and The Black Album, all in regular rotation at the moment.
"D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" is also getting played heavily - full of great lines, my favourite, "I know we're facing a recession, but the music y'all making gonna make it the great depression." Here's the video, which includes some cool explosions (a rack of clothes among them...), a card game interlude and an actual haircut.
And here's Jay-Z performing it at the BET awards, complete with a watching Beyonce.
And a bonus Kanye video, for "Street Lights", not one of the best off 808s and Heartbreak, meanders a little, the video reflecting this with Cartoon Kanye (assuming it is Kanye, don't look much like him) driving his fancy car round a fancy cartoon city - alone...
