Thankfully someone posted that stress video, it kind of brings out the same emotions for me.
That sorta "Fvck society, let's burn it down until we get our way" feeling.
The artists don't make an appearance but the video manages to say a lot.

I personally feel that the "No Church In The Wild" line alone can describe a riot.
In a riot you experience the break down of community in the worse way.
"Wild" is a word to focus on, because when we're pissed off in riot mode that's the
way humans act, like packs of animals acting out nature in the wild.
Personally I feel the video was dope, way better than their last video N.I.P.

Frank Ocean with an atheistic hook
Jay-Z comparing themselves to Greek Philosophers and Roman Religion
Kanye finding the meaning of life through a transient skrippa


and they treat it with ...

generic riot footage to invoke the Occupy, Middle East Revolutions, and Economic unrest across the world?

Doesn't work for me.
And that's what you call HIP HOP

smh...

folks so dumb down to what a "hip-hop" video is...they cant appreciate...what true hip-hop has made, when looking at the critical video...

what should be changed, are the roman figures on the movie...

tho is could be the crumbling of such dynasty.

Are you tryna break it down in a simple way or are you simpleminded?
Why is the hook atheistic? Where does Jay-z compare himself to a greek philosopher and how can one compare himself to Roman religion. And meaning of life? He's talking about real sh*t that will make you think about stuff, that they don't teach you in schools or in church and in this case just giving an example.

And the footage seems to be connected to the hook, survival of the fittest for the simpleminded.
