A good song from a good album, been waiting for a while since I found out that this was the next single to be taken from 808’s & Heartbreaks.
Kanye West has been raising the bar in terms of standard for music videos of late, his video for Welcome To Heartbreak ft. Kid Cudi had people in a frenzy (and confusion until they realized that it was meant to distorted). This video, far different from the last, but just as much of an impact, it perfectly represents the track, with dark shots, exotic locations, basic effects yet the end product is a joy to watch.
Visually, it speaks more and uses minimal shots, the jungle theme fits the sound effects in the song, with both Kanye and Young Jeezy at their best. Not much has to be said as the video speaks for itself but it is just as inspirational as the song and undoubtedly another classic by Mr West.

Dope song! Been waiting too!
BTW, the NBA took it for the “Amazing” ad campaign. I think basketball highlights fit well with the song! no Jeezy on it though…
Yeah, I saw the NBA commercial, it just shows how versatile the song is!
