“Mos backed up Jay Electronica for one of his best with Exhibit A. Later on in the show Mos Def did his verse from the remix (NOT EXHIBIT B) so I mashed the footage together and gave you everything!” – via AlwaysHustle

Friday, February 5th, 2010“D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),” – Video Review
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
Jay -Z premiered his new video for his single, “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),” earlier this week on June 28th following the BET awards. Directed by Anthony Mandler, this video has a very cinematic feel. The video’s introduction builds anticipation as Jay enters an abandoned warehouse, with the underscore of eerie strings creating uneasiness to the viewer. When Jay flicks on the lights the video kicks into high gear with the single’s opening soprano sax line. The video plays along with the theme of the song, the death of auto-tune, which is Jay’s response to the new direction hip-hop has taken. Jay’s goal to bring hip-hop back to its roots can be seen here visually. The video is not bright and colorful and has few special effects. It’s just Jay in a warehouse backed by a live band, with cut scenes to him hanging out with Harvey Keitel and LeBron James. There are also scenes of the explosions of various items such as fancy cloths, auto-tune software, and Champaign to further drive Jay’s point home. Fans have seemed to have a great response to the new single/video and are highly anticipating his new album, The Blueprint 3, which is due to hit stores September 11th, 2009.
