The two biggest names in rap have joined forces for Watch The Throne, and if this video is any indicator they plan to keep on boasting while driving models around in Maybachs. In that sense the Spike Jonze directed video is something of a let down, but the song is pleasant enough paying homage to that great soul man Otis Redding, and sampling probably his greatest song ("Try a Little Tenderness"). Also there's a bizarre and hilarious little cameo by Aziz Ansari.

The Noise: The Beastie's Get Their G.I. Joe on in New Video
The Godfathers of Hip-Hop hipsterdom, the Beastie Boys, once again enlist director Spike Jonze (Sabotage!) to bring the adventures of their new single "Don't Play No Game I Can't Win," to life. The action-packed, action-figured animation sees our heroes fighting for their lives, with both humorous and slightly disturbing results. Santigold is also featured, played by a hood-rich black Barbie.
