Jay-Z and Kanye West team up to serve us all an incredible visual off their joint project Watch The Throne. The rap duo recruit Romain Gavras, to fill in the director’s role, whose recent work was that of M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls,”.
The video that is without Jay-Z or Kanye West features scenes of chaos, violence and conflict. We really love this clip.

Jay-Z recently unveiled his new logo for the Brooklyn Nets, which was a simple black & white design.
In an interview with MTV News, Jay-Z explained the design.
“I wanted to make it really classic and strong; a throwback to Brooklyn and what we’re about. It’s real gritty and we’re not about flash — well, sometimes. Just the roots of Brooklyn as this very bold, strong, simple logo,”
“It was really a take off the old subway signs, if you look at the old subway signs they were in black and white. It was that strong, beautiful, iconic black and white. I wanted to pick something that would stand the test of time and be here forever.”

Quickly after announcing a 2 day festival, Made In America, in the city of Philadelphia this morning, Jay-Z spoke to Billboard’s Juice column about whether he’ll be hitting the studio anytime soon:
“I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter. I want to enjoy this time for what it is. I’m sure that bug to get back in the studio will come back at some point.”
