In "Otis," the first video from the Kanye West and Jay-Z (a.k.a the Throne) joint album Watch the Throne, the two hip-hop moguls oversee some unconventional body work to what appears to be a brand-new Maybach: The German luxury car -- base sticker price approximately $373,000 for the cheapest model -- gets sliced and diced with a blowtorch and power saw. In the first 30 seconds of the clip, the automobile loses its roof and doors and gets remixed into an open-air Jeep-style vehicle perfect for joyriding around a parking lot with a quartet of young ladies in the back seat while fireworks blast off, which is exactly what Jay and Kanye proceed to do in the Spike Jonze-directed video.

Kanye hates Maybachs
I’m with you dude. Sam Cooke,The Platters, The Drifters, Marvin Gay, The Shirelles, The Dixie Cups etc. these guys were awesome and the crap they put out now as R&B or jazz or what ever just plain sucks. I don’t know how people listen to it.
Didn’t they play that in Dr. Strangelove? LOL
The motor and transmission are probably ok , I bid $5,000.
Isn’t it amazing that there are always white trash groupies around these types of dipsticks?
The song sux to top it off!
It is sacrilege to have them using the music of real musicians, like Otis, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and Booker T. They are not worthy to shine those guys’ shoes.
Bttt....
