JAY-Z - Moonlight (With Outtakes)

[@theaparnaverma]

When he had the audio of Best Picture goes to La La Land and showed the Moonlight title, I got chills man

[@Forreminiscing]

Spirited Gal me tooo

[@YouOpaOpa]

Yup same here. That ending...!

[@Slayton701]

Spirited Gal ** The illuminati, gov, media promotes this for end time mind control and to make slaves out of non believers" of the Lords word - riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousness will delivereth from death. proverbs ..... the Bible , describes how many will do corrupt things for P.o.w.e.r. all through the word of God, people quest for....... Power. to reign. Kings .... etc. ( wisdom ) thats unique is written in proverbs. Solomon was the wisest man the Lord had given knowledge too. ** the more you read the Bible. the more truth will be exposed to you. ** proverbs 11:22 As a jewel of gold is in a swine's snout so is a fair woman which is without discretion. , proverbs 15:17 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than treasure and trouble therewith.

"" run wild .. Christ will return .

[@MusicIsBall]

You're using religion to talk about the same people who rule over the bible and use it to control the population.. the bible means nothing because white man wrote it in their own context and in a way that they could use it to control the masses.

[@tebohomokoena8483]

There's no one in the music industry that switches from one generation to another generation Like Jay Z does. Look at how everyone is thinking deeply after this music video...

[@ray8507]

Teboho Mokoena you're 100% right

[@zyrastrong1457]

Jay-Z don't get as much credit as he should honestly even tho he's different he makes some strong meanings in his music

[@orangewhip7669]

Zyra Strong no credit? Are you kidding? He's one of the most well respected, and famous musicians in the world

This was deeper than I thought. I had to watch this twice.

[@malomari803]

This film is describing the evils of the music industry! In the beginning everything is going fine, the roles are being played and everyone is in sync. But then one of the closest characters in the show to Ross puts her finger up to her mouth telling him to keep quiet, while leading him behind the scenes. That's where everything takes place. In the dark. Where no one can see you but everyone has been. And after you do what is required of you, you win. It's all about the love of money. La La Land is a place you can get stuck in easily because of the benefits. The love of money is the root of all evil, right? So as long as you're in love with money you'll continue to be stuck in La La Land and do anything for it until Moonlight illuminates the darkness and causes your mindset to change. Y'all niggas still signing deals?...Still?

I think this is the best comment here explaining what's happening, sadly people would rather get upset than think about it instead of projecting.

[@YungFalcon]

Naw b nice try tho. It's actually about how black media is always being shut out always being hushed we have to promote and we have to enjoy it or else we get clout. Most of us end up signing deals with white people or those individuals who snub us of are true glory. It represents all media "y'all niggas still signing deals" relates too why keep conforming to the trash of society why keep working for them why change us as black individuals too join a white broadcaat

[@TheHunkIsSprunk]

Jay-Z should go into Hollywood and start producing quality Black films & TV series. Like for real.

[@aaronhudson5972]

I dont think the previous releases and now this, will be properly appreciated until 2020... way ahead in lyrical and artistic levels of production. The whole of 4:44 is way way ahead of the game on all fronts. Content, Marketing, Visuals.... 🔥🔥

[@milesdixon9267]

[@iLAMAR-_-]

I just notice that jay z got two of the actors who played in Get Out

[@madowl-hatter799]

I got the one who played the best friend, but who's the second one?

[@Quirksandall]

The guy who went to the bathroom and wanted his seat back.

[@mrniceguy2410]

[@LucienCallidus]

[@TonyTemple-j5d]

TIGHT WORK 💎

[@muneeb2001]

Friends (copy/mediocre/wildly popular/accolades) = La La Land Living Single (original/well put together/under appreciated)= Moonlight One of the best lines (play on words): 'Winners are La La Land' (it was announced as the best movie even though Moonlight in actuality had won). Love this video, the actors, and the creative minds/team behind the whole thing.

[@witchplease9695]

Thank you for being an intelligent commenter.

[@JohnnyRoseofVersailles]

Friends was mediocre? Really? It lasted 10 seasons for a reason and that's cause it had great writing and actors. Maybe the concept was stolen, but that doesn't make it mediocre because of that. Yes, there were massive problems with diversity in shows in the 90s and there still are today, but that doesn't mean that Friends, wasn't good, get out of here!

[@witchplease9695]

Jonida Sanço It's an opinion. I personally thought both Friends and Living Single were corny but I loved shows like Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Full House.

[@MrModernFlash]

tigerlily The latter two show had substance that the first two didn't.

[@ThaBeast123a]

The show lasted 10 seasons because it was mediocre. The American public eats up run-in-the-mill and repetitive storylines. e.i MASH, Big Bang Theory, NCSI, etc, etc.

[@indigoskye9215]

once again all I can say is thank you mr. Carter💛💚💜

[@arianajones9271]

If the meaning behind this song surprised you, you need to wake up. Jay Zs doin us all a favor out here. Stop giving money to people who want to see your downfall and start supporting your brothers and sisters. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯

[@Wilson-ib4lo]

ariana jones i dont think the movie industry is as racist as this video is making it out to be. It was just an accident, no need to think that there was some huge conspiracy behind it.

[@JonathanMutsinzi1998]

the only race those types of industries see is $$ & Poc usually are down the ladder economically thus it always feels like racism, but in reality we have less Power.. so in these cases we get taken advantage of

What other rapper could pull this off ... Jay-Z is the G.O.A.T.

its strange, but i wish this was a REAL show lol

[@angelavalentina2627]

the references are so cool and on point, really nice jay.

[@ArtemisBianco]

For you idiots saying you want a 'Black version of Friends' there already is one. It's called Living Single. Friends basically ripped off Living Single and got all of the glory. That's what Jay Z is saying.

[@cj10109]

This is awesome 👏🏾 👏🏾 I love this cast too! These are most of my favorite actors!

[@RachelDavis705]

All I can hear is the Fugees sample from "Fu-Gee-La" when I hear this. This really goes to show how much the actors made Friends work. Sorry, but a lot of these actors (especially Ross and Phoebe) aren't delivering the lines in the correct comedic tone.

[@cino3004]

I left pancakes burning to watch this -_-' This guy Jay-Z is a fucking genius!

[@mrbluesky6885]

Graet job to Tiffany Haddish for the movie "Girls Trip",This is shit is funny as fuck !!!

That's part of the problem in Hollywood , unless you're jay-z or 50cent ,black people rarely get the chance to create original tv or movies.

[@k.harris8948]

blessedspear white Hollywood,is gonna hate him. He did this album a perfect time in his life. He can say, and enlighten his people without having to face any consequences for it. We need more artist to speak about our reality as a culture rather than just f'n, degrading our women, money, and drugs to escape our reality. Our music represents what direction our culture is in.

[@45mo4528]

As a fan of the show FRIENDS, i gotta say, great jpb! This was done perfectly!

[@Illmatic662]

Watching this with only 3000 views. Released at exactly 12AM interesting.

[@HellwandeReaper]

Love this concept and it will definitely resonate with alot of people. It is also a testament to the fact that the black community doesn't have relatable sitcoms anymore. In the 90's black sitcoms like Living Single, Martin, A Different World and many others were cancelled at 5, 6, maybe 7 seasons; many people may not realize but 'Friends' had one the longest runs on tv with 10 seasons. Its really sad and as proof they just cancelled 'The Carmichael Show" at just only 3 seasons.

[@Wilson-ib4lo]

EmpressAnn blackish?

[@HellwandeReaper]

True and a good show. But lets hope it survives more than 8 seasons. #theCosby's.

[@amyvillalobos4778]

I'm not JayZ so I will never truely know his intentions or his thoughts on this video unless he explains it. I think his work has a way of letting us make our own perspectives. Watching this made me think how little black people are represented in the acting world. They never get the main roles or the recognition they deserve. Towards the end when they announced the wrong winner it showed that even though they one the white movie still managed to steal/take the spotlight. In the outtakes when the guy is taking phone calls it explains how black people are always offered the ridiculous roles and buy the actors with huge amounts of cash when they deserve more. Once again these are just my thoughts, what are yours?

[@NIKIMBO]

Epic. i wish it actually became an alternate series for a few seasons. Concept was Epic :-D

[@23abedabed23]

Can someone explain this to me? I don't really understand it

[@kooziiQ]

HangingWithBoudi lmao I'm as confused as you are

[@aisongpool]

The song references how niggas think they winning when they actually lose, just like the la la land > Moonlight situation. In other words niggas are stuck in la la land (an illusion). And the rappers sounding the same, wearing the same things, f'ing the same girls.....no distinction. But they swear they're winning.

[@aisongpool]

The video references Moonlight Oscar awards for Best picture which was mistaken with la la land......Moonlight has a primarily black cast compared to la la land. And here you have a typical tv show that reruns for years, like seinfeld too that has no black cast...etc.

[@ciannaavril8254]

Geraldo Erwin Jay-z up to good sh!t💯 and thanks for explaining

[@olavu11]

HangingWithBoudi Ok so someone on Instagram made a post about it but basically Friends was a ripoff of another popular 90s tv show called Living Single starring Queen Latifah. In an interview she did Queen Latifah told the interviewer that the man who created Friends was asked one day if he could take one show from tv and claim it as his own which one would it be and he said Living Single. Of course some years later he would produce a show with the same concept except its a group of white friends instead of black. Now this video just shows what it would be like if Friends were black but as you can see the show seems to rely on corny jokes that "No offense" only corny white ppl would find funny and it's quite redundant because technically there was already a black friends. Black entertainers, directors, and writers have never had to copy off of white tv shows or movies because we are a very cultured and creative people contrary to popular belief. Yet they constantly do it with us, except it's more watered down and lazy and in turn the white version always gets more credit than the black version. At least that's what the video stands for. The song itself has a bit of a different message from the video.

[@XxMONFERNOxX]
