“The Story of O.J.” by rapper Jay-Z that tackles the subject of racism and the value of financial freedom in the African American community. The video, directed by Mark Romanek and Jay-Z, is an animated depiction of an early 20th-century cartoon-style, using imagery reminiscent of racist caricatures of black people.

The video highlights the message of financial empowerment, encouraging African Americans to invest in themselves and their community. The lyrics and visuals provide a stark reminder that, despite progress, racism still exists in America, and economic freedom is a key aspect of breaking the chains of institutional oppression. The video concludes with a powerful message: “Wealth is the new money, so they’re tryna break the door down.”
