Video: Jay-Z & Mr. Hudson's "Young Forever"

Posted By on Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 2:11 PM

Who doesn't reminisce fondly of their younger days? Jay-Z's new video for "Young Forever" draws images of late-night pizza and pickup basketball, understandably, Brooklyn (stereotypically), but tractors and skateboarding? Not so much. As you're watching all it's Bod body spray and teamwork PSA imagery of kids in black and white, people frolicking through prairies and just a hint of 2Pac's "Brenda's Gotta Baby," it'll strike you that neither Jay-Z or Alphaville are young at all and if you're old enough to remember the original at your prom, you'll hit the spiked egg nog a little harder for your advanced years.
