Another Monday and to commemorate the crushing mundanity the day embodies with a most despairing inherence, we're back here divulging a further ten tracks from our 2012 ranking. Our previous instalment took in a Fuck Button, the irrefutably inimitable Bobby Womack, and a lo-res JPG of a cat in a box . This one, meanwhile, clicks through a smattering of woebegone London lo-fi, a couple snared from the Captured Tracks roster, the inevitable Hot Chip entry, and something ever so slightly special from Sam Willis who was once, all in all, just another [...]
Jazz has continued to creep up in popularity over recent months, as exciting musicians both young and old embrace newer movements to bring a refreshing vibe to the genre. I'm talking everyone from Robert Glasper to Flying Lotus . Trumpeter Christian Scott and his Quintet were performing in St. Louis not long ago when they pulled out a vivacious rendition of The Throne's "No Church In The Wild". That is right, the 88-Keys produced and Frank Ocean featured single from Kanye West and Jay-Z's hyped collaborative album Watch The Throne . The melodies are distant but [...]
As someone who is involved both in the music blog-o-sphere and the LGBTQ community, I got about 10 texts, Facebook messages, calls etc. the morning Frank Ocean became one of the first openly queer individuals in the rap/R&B game. While this was very exciting information, in some ways it overshadowed the release of his first studio album Channel ORANGE, which technically drops today (though it had an iTunes “exclusive” release a week earlier). In the massive amount of press about which songs include references to his sexuality, the surprising support of fellow industry up-and-comers such as Tyler the Creator, [...]
Jay-Z & Kanye West Feat. Frank Ocean - "No Church In The Wild" Directed by Romain Gavras. Nas - "Daughters" Directed by Chris Robinson. Backburner - "Heatwave" Directed by 3:AM Design. Diplo Feat. Nicky Da B - "Express Yourself" Directed by LIL INTERNET. El-P - "The Full Retard" (NSFW) Directed by Timothy Saccenti. Killer Mike Feat. Bun B, T.I., Trouble, & El-P - "Big Beast" [...]
I was just having a convo yesterday with #YSAFam artist, Eye Traveler , about how Frank Ocean missed his window to become explosively great after WTT . Now we get visuals from Frank for a track that appears to have no name. The trailer gives us a solid minute and a half of a never before heard track from Mr. Ocean and then a message at the end that simple states, "Channel Orange, 7.17.12." I guess that's enough to expect some good sounds from the young R&B singer. I hope this is the start [...]
Vídeo da música No Church In The Wild , rodado em Praga e dirigido por Romain Gravas. Esse é o terceiro vídeo a acompanhar as faixas do álbum Watch The Throne, lançado no ano passado.

WTT now has visuals for its intro track, No Church In The Wild . With the meaning of the video expressing the idea of no religion in war, director, Romain Gavras , has a vicious riot of the people against the institutions. The vid takes place in the streets of the Czech Republic and leaves a feeling of timelessness behind. Gavras really took the picture painting to the next level with the great track by Jay, Yeezy, and Frank. Check it out below.
Here comes the treatment for Watch The Throne track, “No Church in the Wild,” featuring Frank Ocean from two rulers of hip hop, Kanye and Jay-Z. More like a short from Spielberg's reel, the video is a colossal 5 minutes. Who said big budget videos don’t exist anymore?
Total anarchy is the theme for Jay and ' Ye 's visuals for my favorite track off Watch The Throne . And yes. There is an elephant in the video. Follow @OceanPdestrians .
"No Church In The Wild" has already scored a few movie trailers, and the official video has been teased at concerts overseas. Today Jay-Z & Kanye West premier the 3rd video from Watch The Throne , which is getting a sequel . Romain Gavras filmed "No Church In The Wild" in Prague. Probably the most epic music video since "Victory." Video: Jay-Z & Kanye West - No Church In The Wild ft. Frank Ocean |
Romain Gavras knows how to direct amazing videos, most-notably his controversial short for M.I.A. 's track "Born Free" with his ginger genocide. Clearly he either has a thing for the police, or he loves showing how awesome they can be at brutally controlling a crowd of people. No gingers in this video, but there are horses, lots of fire, an elephant (not sure if it's real or not), dudes on fire, cars on fire, fire on fire, and frickin' lazers (no sharks), but unfortunately Paris Hilton was [...]
In between touring, fashion shows and fatherhood, Jay and Kanye manage to eek out a video for "No Church In The Wild," the intro track to last year's Watch The [...]
We heard rumors that Kanye West and Jay-Z were ready to drop a video for Watch The Throne 's "No Church in the Wild" today. And wouldn't you know it, those rumors were true. You can watch the cinematic and damn-near-epic visuals for the Frank Ocean-assisted joint below. This shit could be a movie.
Let's set the sceptre rolling with a pithy adherence to the cult of celebrity. Who would you deem more famed: Jay-Z or Kanye West ? About which would you rather read stories of fabricated salaciousness? Would you sooner christen your offspring Shawn or Kanye? Would you care? Indeed does anyone care? To quote Mr. West, "Do anybody make real shit anymore?" Watch The Throne was arguably, to clumsily paraphrase, really quite shit in places. Fanciful inquisitions aside however, if this uniting to tour the record aforesaid ought to celebrate the coming together [...]
Trayvon by Jasiri X A song of justice for Trayvon Martin, verses over Watch The Throne & Frank Ocean's "No Church in the Wild". Jasiri X tells the heartbreaking story of Trayvon Martin, a unarmed 17 yr old boy, who was shot and killed by Neighborhood Block Captain George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012. George Zimmerman has to this date never been arrested or charged for the Murder of Trayvon. http://colorofchange.org/campa ign/trayvon/
Because it brings about funny visuals in our heads, we like to imagine Rick Ross being a bit butt-hurt and pouty throughout the tail-end of the summer because he wasn't officially invited to rap about rich black guy things on this year's Top Rich Black Guy opus, Kanye & Jay's Watch The Throne , leading to him going off on minions who forgot to bring him the correct Popeye's order ("I said 'Three-piece, WHITE MEAT" you idiot," he gruffly bellows in our fantasy before dramatically slinging a chicken leg against a wall) and [...]
You can't say we weren't expecting it. The Odd Future crooner and overall R&B songwriting legend-in-the-making Frank Ocean is going hard in the paint right now. Never mind the two huge guest spots on one of the year's most highly anticipated hip-hop records ( Kanye West & Jay-Z 's Watch The Throne ), the New Orleans native is now the R&B and pop community's figure-at-large at the moment with all eyes fixated firmly on the 23 year old. To somewhat satiate the hoards of now-salivating fans & on-lookers, two new creatively [...]
This is not an official video but this shit cray. High5Collective , an unknown group of artists out of LA who "make art for artists who inspire us" decided to do an interpretation of Jay-Z and Kanye's No Church In The Wild which featured Frank Ocean . This is about as cinematic as you can get, you got to love how they turned the tables.
Below is the latest edition of our weekly feature, Stuck On Repeat . The premise is simple, we’ve asked all our contributors to submit one [...]
It might seem premature to ask, but you cannot front like you weren't up at midnight this past Sunday/Monday waiting on the release of Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne . Hell, if that wasn't the case, then you can't front like you weren't looking all over the web Monday morning for a link. It's OK, we won't judge. And we won't act like y'all probably haven't heard the album at least five times by now. As such, we felt it was necessary to ask our Facebook fans [...]
