So they dropped it. After two teasers and a preview, the official video for Jay’s second single has been released. A solid effort all around, the video successfully captures the magnitude of the track while featuring three of the biggest acts in the world. While, Jay and Kanye come correct, Rihanna’s star shines the brightest. She just comes so epic with it. Style and grace. Style and grace. With BP3 right around the corner, I wonder if this is the precursor to the main event? Most of us are anticipating a classic album, and with ample time Jay has been given the opportunity to create a masterpiece. I guess only time will tell.

Rihanna’s voice is by far the best element and driving, continuous force in “Run This Town.” Your description, “style and grace.” applies to her voice as well as her image.
RIhanna made a great comeback from her incident with Chris Brown after this one. I’m glad Jay and Kanye picked her up and allowed her to shine.
