Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys In "International Party" Vid + Jay-Z And Kanye West At War Over Concert Costs?

 

Swizz Beatz has released a new video and it features his wife Alicia Keys.  See the video inside and find out the behind-the-scenes drama that has allegedly put some distance between Kanye and Jay-Z. 

 

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys has released a video for "International Party" from the Reethym Of Life campaign that was recently featured in a Reebok ad.  The video was directed by Chris Robinson and is a high energy dance clip. 

Watch Swizz and his wifey in "International Party" here:

 

In other music news....

 

 

Things aren't going so well between the camps of Kanye West and Jay-Z as they prepare for their Watch The Throne tour.  A source told the NY Post that the pair, who are calling themselves, The Throne, can't agree on production costs.

While Kanye wants "next-level production," that would cost more than $400,000 per show, Jay-Z wants to spend a lot less as he has a larger, long-term advance from Live Nation that he has to pay back.

The source continued,

 "Jay-Z can't deal with Kanye. Jay is a stone-cold businessman. He wants to recoup all of his money from Live Nation. But Kanye wants to upstage rock stars with a blowout show. He doesn't care about costs. He has a lot less to gain from the shows."

Another source added that signs there are chips in their friendship was their failure to appear on stage together during Young Jeezy's NYC concert last week.

"We were expecting them to come out together to perform a track from the album," a source said. "They didn't even go out together after the show."

In other Kanye news....

The rapper recently put on a "next level production" at the Splendour in the Grass music festival on Friday in Woodford, Australia.

 

 

He performed a medley including “Flashing Lights,” “Good Life,” “Jesus Walks,” and “Runaway.”

 

Watch The Throne drops on iTunes on August 8, and in stores four days later.

what in tomfoolery was that,

what in tomfoolery was that, this song is WACK on so many levels, who in the hell told Swizz Beats he can damn rap, please point me in the direction of the person who gased his head up so i can slap the hell out of them, im an AK fan but not even she could save this track, if i had to describe this track it would be something like sweaty ass crack, hairy armpits, a migraine, menstral cramps, smelly farts, athelet's foot, hammer toe, halitosis, it's just bad.

Alicia Keys is being played.

Alicia Keys is being played. No one was checking for Swizz Beatz like that until the mess with the adultery and Alicia factored in as the adultress to his adulterer. Now, he is riding her light and popularity to the tip top. When he's done he will fine some fine youn chick without stretch marks, cellulite and cankles.

Swizz Beatz said so himself,

Swizz Beatz said so himself, that people are taking notice now that he is known to be with Alicia Keys. He is using her well established status and her affiliation (Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye...) to further his career. I wont go as far as saying that he does not love her, but he sure is being opportunistic.

I am so sorry to see a riff

I am so sorry to see a riff between Jay and Ye. I love how they are like brothers. I hope they can work it out. I think its a difference in work style brought on by difference in generation. Kanye is younger and todays younger set only wants to impress others at any cost. Jay is older and much more mature and understands how quickly the game can end leaving you with no more chips to play so he's playing it safe and sticking to a more traditional approach. These dudes dont have to make business decisions. They pay people for that. They make the art. Others make the business moves. Jay has been paying attention and he gets the risks. Kanye is still immature and in party mode. Two different styles. Work it out brothers! I am not a fan of rap or the hip hop lifestyle but I love you two together.

If it is so,, Jay just need

If it is so,, Jay just need to let Yeezy be Yeezy.. Jay is boring.. and no one wants to pay less just to watch him voque and call it a swag. I love Yeezy and I support his decisions. Jay is just going to have to accumulated that 150 milli on Beyonce's time. Ye has established his own thrown. Jay look cheap and stingy.. Get over it already.. He has more money than Yeezy, and trying to hold out.. Get the dirt off your shoulder Jay.. And.. where are you Yeezy??

I think people might have

I think people might have missed the point of International Party, it's not a straight up r'n'b, hip-hop hybrid track in the style of Empire State of Mind - there's a definite European influence - it sounds more like a Grime track. Not a particularly good one admittedly.

Is it just me or....Does

Is it just me or....Does anyone else think for all the talent Swizz and Alicia has, that should have been a way hotter song??? I'm sorry but its wack can't knock my head to it, dance to it, knock it in my ride. I'm an well-traveled working class 30 year old but for real this ain't an international party at all! Plus I'm not feeling the fact in a recent interview Swizz who was already famous made it sound like marrying Alicia was a business transaction enhancings his "visibility". Really dude? Reebok deals and other premium brand partnerships, that's cool congrats but...I'm not hating but really? I'm married so not hating on couples working together so no need to speak on that just wished they would've came a tighter. While I'm on the music tip...if Jay and Kanye don't outsell Lil Wayne and Eminem's first week sales then that's going to be sad, sorry first two singles....Sad. Economy is jacked so can they they spit something for the streets? They don't have to still live in the hood to spit down-to-earth yet lifestyle aspirational music...sorry for long post had to vent

The video is more like a movie. It is very smart and ties into the Reebok commercial. I love that both Alicia and Swizz like to work together. I also love both Kaye and Jay-Z. Most people on blogs don't purchase just complain. They don't purchase quality music they download for "free" and still complain.

I had doubts about this tour

I had doubts about this tour from the jump. Kanye is all about the visual experience and Jay-Z just isn't. Jay's shows are about him rapping on stage in a tee and jeans. It's kind of boring. Kanye brings it! I was so looking forward to Kanye and Lady Gaga because that would have been EPIC!! If I'm paying $200 bucks a ticket I want to see more than some tired screens and halfhearted pyrotechnics.

that video was wacker then that thang!!!! They need to focus on Licia's new album. I have a feeling its going to flop based on people's views about her. I think they are kinda cute together. Tho... the whole ya dig went down bad. So that made her look some kind of way. Oh well....her life to love, not mine! I don't believe the story with Jay and yeezy either! follow ms_nikki2u

Umm!! Alicia's core audience

Umm!! Alicia's core audience do not visit the black blogs, and that is the only place that you continue to hear negative views of her. No!! absolutely No mainstream media or publications has anything but praise for Alicia and her music, so if it flops it will be the music not the views, because Alicia's base is solid. I too am patiently awaiting her next project.

I doubt the Kanye/Jay story.

I doubt the Kanye/Jay story. Jay-Z knows the type of artist and person Kanye is, from his theatrics, to his antics, to his work ethic. Anyone going into a project with him would expect for Ye to give everything for his art and to be the best of the best since he routinely shells out money from his own pocket to put on over the top shows. So it's odd that all of a sudden this would be an issue...something in the milk ain't clean.

Kanye is more of a natural

Kanye is more of a natural artist so of course he wants to give a visual display of his music; Jay just wants to not only recoup that 150 Million but do it soon so he'll see profits sooner than later. Jay knows this tour could account for a substantial chunk as long as costs are kept down...He's a BUSINESS...man, he handles his business, damn.

You know how whenever two FEMALE artists work together, the media starts making up some sort of drama to make us think they're at war with eachother? This Yeezy & Jay thing is the same thing. Don't believe the hype.
