Jay-Z & Kanye West ft. Frank Ocean - No Church In The Wild [Music Video]

When Jay-Z & Kanye West release a video, especially after all this time, you know it's going to be a work of art. With the help of director Romain Gavras, they depict a full out riot in Prague to the tune of "No Church In The Wild." Neither they nor Frank Ocean appear in the visuals, but it's captivating nonetheless. Watch The Throne in stores now.

Watch The Throne's "Ni**as In Paris" has undoubtedly proven itself to be the hottest track of the year.  I don't know one person who doesn't get amped up as soon as he/she hears "Ball so hard mothaf**kas wanna fine me."

I've heard that Jay-Z and Kanye West have performed the anthem usually 3 times in a row during their shows, but they pulled out all the stops during their Detroit show and performed it 7 TIMES!!! It seems like the crowd loved every moment of it.  Watch the 6th and 7th performances below, and let me know what you think about "Ni**as In Paris."

Jay-Z & Kanye West x Frank Ocean - No Church In the Wild [Fan Made Video]

Sorry, this isn't an official music video of "No Church In The Wild" like I thought it was, but it surely is a beautiful work of art.  In a parallel universe of sorts, the video takes place in 1862 where White slaves were oppressed and beaten by Black slaveowners. Wow.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
