Attempting to single-handedly save rap, Jay-Z masterfully mixes in soulful clarinet with a sonic drum beat--in other words, he goes old school. And as always, Jay-Z reproves his lyrical genius with such zingers as:
You rappers singing too much, get back to rap you T-Paining too much.
and:
I know we facing a recession, but the music y’all making going make it the Great Depression.
The video also features a couple of cameos from a couple of well-known actors and athletes. But I'll let you watch the video on your own to find out who the guests turn out to be.
Watch 'Death of Auto-Tune' below:
