    This is such an amazing piece. Because even her last line is a bit ironic. Because she says nobody in here is innocent and our knee jerk reaction is to think of the convicts. But this would also include guards and everyone that works to keep the prison system functioning.

      The Plan :
      But here’s the issue.... if we don’t learn the laws, we don’t learn the political process how can we change things.... rhetorical. To break a system one has to know how it works other than just saying “its oppressive”.
      The Black Panther Party, Drug Cartels and The Mob.... were/are all brought down by learning at 1st how it operates and who does what.... now here’s the irony with our plight: We don’t have to sneak around to find out how this systematic racist white society works because all the data is public.... yet in 2017’.... well here we are.... mind you this is an repetitive conversation.
      Until we unify SERIOUSLY & COLLECTIVELY..... this will just remain conversational and complaints. Share ideas followed by actions. This was a good and informative video post.... but when will we start destroying the system from within out in the open. Remember 99.9% of the laws that were and are made against, they didn’t hide them.... we just weren’t paying attention and participating in information gathering. ✌🏽

      not really. they shot it in a prison that they rented for a day and had some actors dressed like prison inmates have a conversation and some other actors to fill the room. they had a lady in an office and that's it. this video wasn't expensive at all. just because it's over 10min long and a room full of people doesn't mean it's expensive.

    I think the concept is rather beautiful; In order for poor, poorly educated, and disenfranchized members of the American system to prevent self-destructive activity that keeps them incarcerated, they must seek to unshackle themselves. Waiting for a system that benefits from your imprisonment to release you is a Sisyphean act (initially innocent or not).
    Note that this applies both in the literal and the metaphoric; liberate your mind from the prison in which it lays. But, of course, in order to do so, you need to be aware that it has been locked up in the first place. Hence, Carter.
    The very aspects you believe are preventing you from said escape (the guards and warden) are powerless once you have taken the initiative to release yourself.
    Go and create your legacy.

    The "woke" character who told them about the system also told them that he would be in prison forever. Then he came forward and told on them for talking about escape. He believed in the system so much that even knowing it was wrong when presented when an opportunity to escape he choice to stay in subjugation. The news reported that seven people escaped but there were eight people at that table.
    Some of us spend our whole lives saying that this world is messed up and crooked,
    But never do anything more than complain.
    Instead of trying to change the world the way we talk, we act, we think,
    We stay the same,
    We choose to live our whole lives only worried about improving our own personal conditions.
    Then die knowing that the world was messed up and we did nothing to fix it .

    Wow, this was so deep. Wasn't really a Jay Z but this video definitely has me eager to listen to this album. So many hidden meanings in this video which is easily understandable for those who understand how the world really works. Couldn't figure out why Carter was a white dude though - perhaps Jay's claiming to be a boss pretending to blend in with other powerful whites looking like them but still has the desire to change the world even though things are fucked up.

    @nmpete3365 4 роки тому +193

    This is my interpretation:
    Jay z is Ron Perlman in the scene. He’s portrayed as an old white man who has lots of power and influence. The video doesn’t end with him escaping but over the news you hear that seven escaped but he’s still inside.
    I feel jay Z is trying to say that he has spent his whole life trying to win in a white world and became successful and influential, yet still locked up in a prison which represents the system that he still wants to fight. I feel like the character played in the clip is like jay teaching younger generations after him to not get locked in the system yet again but to break free entirely-not become just another white man. he’s trying to say that you don’t need to follow the white man rules and become more white to find success but to recreate your own destiny and do it your way. He’s exposing how chasing the latter only gets you so far before you realize you’re still locked up.
