VIDEO: Jay-Z Feat Rihanna And Kanye West "Run This Town"

[Detox Iz Not Active]

Still don't know what to think about this song. Fact is Jay got outshined by Kanye and I also really dig the beat.

Kanye did kill him on his own shit


as far as the video is concerned it's just corny, seeing his camel face in slomo with fire burning in the back is not hot.  Also Rihanna does the same shit in every song it seems 

[KaiserSoze]

Jesus, Kanye moves from nursery rhymes to rhyming two sylablles in the same candence he always uses and people are talking about him "killing" it.

[Action!]

Seriously, Kanye is overrated these days.  He's never been a decent rapper but lately people act like when he spits he's some god mc.  Great song maker, not the best mc.

I don't have a problem with Jay's or Kanye's lyrics because they're about their respective current situations.  All Jay's doing is informing the world about roc nation, his independent nature, and bragging.  All Ye is doing is speaking on how his career went to a new level.

There's always a better way to do it but this wasn't bad.

[Meho]

It's not really that he "killed" it with lyrics, it was in his delivery; he sounded agressive and hungry like a newbie. While Jay way busy doing the "ugh" sound

[Action!]

My problem is Ye's voice in general.... it's amateurish sounding.... i love his albums though so it's easy for me to not focus on negative

but I dig tracks like heard'em say when he's on a chill note

[KaiserSoze]

Fair enough, although personally I don't have a problem with Jay's swagger in his delivery. If anything I think it adds something.

[wcsoldier]

hearing rhianna sing makes me want to cut my ears off

She's easily one of the worst singer I've ever ... anyways beat is dope , Rihanna garbage as usual , Jay keeps falling off , well only Kanye is a good surprise ...

Jay needs to stop doing songs with Rihanna and Beyonce ... seriously

[R1ZE]

first off, its AWH. AWH.

good vid.. pac and dre already did the mad max thing tho. still dont think this is single material - least not for jay

[Chamillitary Click]

any word on a second single?

i want another song to get an idea of the album.

[Nima - Dubcnn.com]

I don't care, I love this song. Jay's flow is nice, Kanye came with it, and Rihanna's hook grew on me.

Good single. Video is ok, Rihanna is hot.

I've always seen his raps as pretty cheesy with corny punchlines, average delivery, spits with conviction though. Duke knows how to make a hit, but he'll never be one of the best emcees. He does seem to step it up when he's on other peoples shit though. His verse on Dilated Peoples "This Way" was cool, and he out shined Jay on this and also The Clipse on "Kinda Like A Big Deal"

[Action!]

I mean he's always been a decent rapper but that's it.  Not never.

I respect Ye for admiting at one point he had ghost writers and ghost producers.  That he's done doing that and is taking control or he'll either acknowledge contributions.  I dig that.   

I actually don't care if you have a ghost writer if your shit is hot.  Just don't lie about it.  Dr.Dre won't get to be one of the hottest mc's but i dig his music anyways .

[Lunatic]

Love this record. Beat is classic. Jay-Z flows his ass off on it. Kanye comes with an incredible verse. Feeling Rihanna hook as well. Plus the video tight as hell.

[MediumL]

video was kinda boring. For the set and everything i was expecting some dope story line or shots but nah it was boring. Like the song i guess.
