Music
I have no problem to admit this is the best music video of the 2016. Maybe to some people, it is not that storytelling. But to me, it is so inspiring and emotional. It means something, something that is deep inside myself...maybe just an energy that I always wanted. The reason I like this music video is I understand the video. I totally know what it is all about.

It is been a while since Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail album released, but I still feel the freshness out of the music even today. And this video, the Picasso Baby performative art video (with Marina Abramović) has been one of my favourite live performances of all time.
The world we're living in today, the culture we share has brought everyone into one community. No matter what language you speak, what religion or what cultural background you're from, we are always the one. People express themselves through many different ways: music, movie, poem, paintings etc.., and they're all part of the art. Art is to make people feel, think, and react. And more importantly, art is to bring people closer like a family, regardless of where you from and who you are. Art is the language for everyone on this planet. And thus, this Picasso Baby performance is the best example of it.
Music connects to people's life experiences, and sometimes, in some ways, music could influence on people's entire life. The message carried by music is way beyond just the words in the lyrics. It is something that is emotional and spiritual. Every syllable, every movement, every body language all turn to be part of the story that you're telling. It turns to be the most engaging way of communicating with people, even people you have never met at all.
