Track DescriptionAvailable in:
An animated music video for "The Story of O.J." was uploaded on Tidal soon after the release of the album 4:44. The video was directed by Mark Romanek and Jay-Z and shows a character named Jaybo, based off The Story of Little Black Sambo.
"JAY Z and Mark Romanek channel the racist stereotyping of early cartoons by Disney, Fleischer and Warner Brothers for satirical purposes. And although it's brilliantly realised, it doesn't make comfortable viewing at times. Romanek and Jay Z certainly do not underestimate the intelligence of their viewers - and that takes courage. Because however ludicrous the idea, somebody out there is going to think that Jay Z identifies with this caricature." (David Knight, Promonews)
