Some rappers enjoy Rao's tomato sauce from the jar. Jay-Z dines at the ultra-exclusive Rao's restaurant and then joins Harvey Keitel for a card game in the backroom. Some rappers play NBA Live, imagining they're in the paint with Lebron James. Jay-Z plays actual one-on-one with LeBron at his local street court. Some rappers need glitz and auto-tune to look and sound good as they make their feeble bids to top the charts. Jay-Z doesn't need none of that. Director Anthony Mandler captures that swagger and that vibe as he delivers a video as gritty and cool and understated and confident as this no-nonsense song. --> watch "D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune)"
