Jack White, the limit of the law in the video for 'Freedom At 21'



We enjoyed the surreal world of AG Rojas in the video for 'Sixteen Saltines' and also the transparent simplicity of 'Love Interruption'. Nevertheless we are still missing to see a video clip in which former The White Stripes Jack White desmarcase what it is: one of the best guitarists in the alternative scene. This is fair tribute has been awarded through the video of 'Freedom At 21' where White shows his guitar skills while trying to deal with (seductive) police force.

Hype Williams is the key to this gimmicky music video work so spectacularly. The director is a familiar figure in the Hip Hopera (in fact worked on clips as 'Stupid Hoe' by Nicki Minaj and 'All Of The Lights' by Kanye West) and this leads to monumental productions director, where the figure of see exalted artist to levels that exceed the unsuspected.

Maybe some do not like the video but recognize that it is a time worked at the technical level. Who wants to narrative when a smug Jack White on the screen?
