Coldplay, Jay-Z Premiere New “Lost+” Video

11/18/08, 9:05 am EST

With the release of their Prospekt’s March EP only a week away, Coldplay have unveiled the updated video for the remixed Viva track “Lost+,” featuring Jay-Z. The new-ish video pretty much takes the original video of “Lost!,” recorded live at Chicago’s United Center, and digitally adds Jigga to the performance via black-and-white television. Watch the original, Hova-less version here. Surprisingly, the band didn’t utilize any of the entrants in that “Lost?” video contest they launched last month. Prospekt’s March features six new songs from the Viva sessions plus two remixes, while Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 will be arriving some time in early 2009.

As much as I like Jay-Z (or as much as I liked him, anyway), he did nothing to add to this video- maybe if he was onstage it would be better, but by digitally cutting him in it threw off the energy of the song.

Is it just me, or are his best years well behind him? His post-retirement albums, Kingdom Come and American Gangster, only demonstrated that the great ones fall the farthest. Please, Jigga- stay retired. I liked you better that way.

Kingdom Come is horrible..

But American gangster is a good album…

It’s definitely a cheesy video technique – cutting Jay-Z in there like that. But I think his lyrics fit the song very well, and his rhymes are still pretty awesome.
