Video Of The Year – “Otis” Directed By Spike Jonze

by admin on 08/11/2011 · 34 comments

We can’t remember enjoying a music video like this in a long time.  Jay-Z and Kanye West have fun in a demolished Mercedes Maybach at a warehouse in Los Angeles, and the finished product gets two thumbs up from the. LIFE Files.  Nice work Spike Jonze!

They looked like they had a good time… you can’t be mad at that.

On a side note: Did anyone else notice Aziz Ansari’s cameo in the video? I know that he’s a huge fan of both Jay & Kanye, but, he looked kinda awkward, albeit funny, standing in the background.

Still, good times.

That was simple but dope…actually worth smiling at and a break from the booty, bottles, and blunts you see in majority of videos! I wonder which other tracks they will put out videos for…they have plenty of options.

More like “Money ain’t a thing,” to the point we can pay half a millie to dice up a Maybach and give it a way at auction and it’s not a problem, it was a fantastic stunt.

That is what I call leaving a legacy – Jigga and Mr West have raised the bar again.
