Jay Z Is A No-Show In Rick Ross’ Condensed “The Devil Is A Lie” Video: Watch

There are a few perplexing things about Rick Ross‘ new video for “The Devil Is A Lie.” Firstly, Jay Z is not in it. Secondly, most of the song is not in it. Thirdly, it features subtitles of the lyrics in various languages, which is a cool idea probably to demonstrate the global span of Rozay’s empire, except this nifty trick only begins about halfway through the clip.

Then the thing cuts out after the first chorus, leaving us with less than half the song. The visual is either half-formed, or half-assed, or maybe Rozay is smarter than us all and realized he could get the same amount of promo for a fraction of the time and money. Anyway, check it out up top.
