@ren it’s funny, my former boss was in this video. I have so much respect for Len after hearing the story. They basically knew they caught lightning in a bottle with that song and took a bunch of the labels money and used it to fly all their friends from St Catherines down to Florida to shoot a guerrilla video. No permits or anything, just getting drunk and fucking about on the boardwalk.
@HobbitFoot I saw some video last week talking about how Jay-Z was one of the faces of Black Conservatism and I’d never really considered it. Their marriage always seemed more like a corporate merger to consolidate power and branding potential. So it wouldn’t shock me if she’s a very careful curated personality to maximize profits than anything.
