From a quality standpoint, I think this video is amazing. Romain Gavras did his thuggy thang. The sequences are amazing, the time variations are impeccable. I know it took days and several cameras and all types of crazy shit to shoot this video. However, I have on problem with it. Before I get to that, I'll throw you some stills.
Have you guessed my problem yet? I'll give you a hint— Where are Jay-Z and Kanye West? NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. Now, call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't artists be in the visuals for songs? I mean, shit. What, is Jay-Z just too rich to be in his own music video? Yung! Get over here. I really just can't understand why they couldn't include themselves in the riots and rebellion. I love the concept of the video. It fits the song without being too predictable and is sadly relevant. Aside from my personal frustrations, this is an amazing video, production-wise. The color-correcting is insane.
Without further ordue, here you are. Kanye West and Jay-Z's No Church in the Wild featuring Frank Ocean. Watch and enjoy!
