Jay Z Feat. Swiss Beats' "On to the Next One" music video is a beautiful artistic interpretation of the lyrics by Director Sam Brown. He took a very straight forward song and turned it into a combination of iconic black and white images that pop out at you with a certain shock value. This video will probably be featured in a fine art museum one day as an iconic video of an era.
