What's a King to a God?

So, if you've been living under a rock, and didn't know the No Church in the Wild video was out, it's out. Of course, I'm here to kill the mood and give my opinion on it. Let's talk.

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!
