I usually am primarily drawn to and feature less mainstream independent artists who work with a lower budget than someone like Jay Z has to work with. However, because I am loud and proud of being a native New Yorker (and am in self-exile in LA) and because I have recently had visions of working with still photography within video much like they did here (so if I do a video with that technique, this is just to say I DID have the idea before seeing this...Hype Williams and I must think alike!) I have a soft spot for this Jay Z - Alicia Keyes collaboration directed by Hype Williams. Even if you don't dig Jay Z, if you are a New Yorker, especially one who is missing New York from afar, you can still fall in love with the classic black and white New York imagery (at least in the first 60 seconds!) with the sound turned down. I admit, this video made me a bit homesick.
