Jay-Z released the second video “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna and Kanye West, off of his Blueprint 3 album. The trio of Rap and Pop royalty did a great job in living up to the hype, utilizing Rihanna’s seductress voice and verses from arguably the two best rappers out.
The video, which plays as a 300 meets Gladiator, depicts the three pop icons summoning their followers, thus inspiring a revolutionary movement.
The Blueprint 3 is Jay-Z’s third album, after coming out of retirement in 2006, and caps off the trilogy in his Blueprint album series. With a release date of 9/11/09, The Blueprint 3 is the most anticipated album of the year and will likely be the best selling.
Amid illegal downloads and P2P pirating, Jay-Z continues to keep his dynasty alive through billboard chart toppers and platinum selling albums.
This song is hot! This video is dark and moody which is nice compared to the money cash hoes theme of most rap videos. Rihannas brand is solidly beautiful edgey and chic- she sells it well.
