he’s so cute
Jay-Z and Kanye West featuring Frank Ocean - “No Church In The Wild” (Music Video)
After a whole album (and a couple of videos) filled with rhymes about opulent behavior and living an excessive lifestyle, Jigga and Yeezy decide to take a different approach with their video for “No Church In The Wild” by showing a clash between protesters and a riot squad.
I’m still trying to decide whether the elephant at the end is a metaphor for Republicans (Jay being a steadfast supporter of Obama) or if it’s a reference to old Buddhist philosophy. In Buddhism, an elephant is a symbol of mental strength and power with the idea that once you truly understand yourself and are at peace with it, your true strength arises. I kind of simplified it but yeah. Anyways, this video is ripe with plenty of metaphors and imagery for which the viewer can take whatever they want out of it.
