JAY Z 'The Story Of O.J.' by Mark Romanek & JAY-Z

David Knight - 7th July 2017

JAY Z and Mark Romanek channel the racist stereotyping of early cartoons by Disney, Fleischer and Warner Brothers for satirical purposes. And although it's brilliantly realised, it doesn't make comfortable viewing at times. 

Romanek and Jay Z certainly do not underestimate the intelligence of their viewers - and that takes courage. Because however ludicrous the idea, somebody out there is going to think that Jay Z identifies with this caricature.
