He tipped me off to Drake’s “Forever” video with Lebron James and a Freestyle Cypher with Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem.

But the one that really “hits home” is Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” (embedded below). Great storytelling, which, as this post from Desedo shows, has the potential to be even richer and more interactive. (Especially if we can select Alicia Keys as the GPS navigator’s voice.)
