The bearded white dude with the sunglasses in the video is Rick Rubin himself. Jay-Z gives him a shoutout on the track - "You crazy for this one, Rick!" Jay-Z brought in Rick to produce this song when the Black Album was mostly finished. One very notable contribution of Rick's to the track - it was his idea to start off acapella and bring the beat in like a bat to your face. Rick Rubin is, without question, the GOAT producer. No competition.
@@itzjustsa3668 i think he is definitly in contention for GOAT. look at how far back his career goes and who he has produced. he not only does hip hop but rock, alternative, emo, even country.
It's good but i think today the 4th Amendment is interpreted a little differently and technically police can search your vehicle if they want to. All thy need is reasonable suspicion to pull you over even for a minor traffic offence and even if they make a mistake in their reasonable suspicion which was confirmed in a Supreme Court case in 2014 or 2015 (after this song came out). The officer can perform a pat-down and if his suspicion is conformed eg possession of a weapon or contraband can elevate to probable cause and detain occupants, search vehicle. I think they can even establish probable cause even before the pat-down if they have reason to believe criminal activity is taking place and is enough to pull you over and search your vehicle. I guess the defense attorney can later argue in court whether proper procedure was followed and whether there was enough evidence to constitute probable cause but in the end the judge would probably side with that Supreme Court hearing.
@@otj8068 Perhaps you misunderstood what I said. Maybe I wasnt clear. I'm not supporting the cops nor do I believe they had probable cause in the video to pull over and search the vehicle. Obviously it's injustice and a racially-motivated thing. My point was that today, these cops can pretty much do what they want with no consequences. We live in a police state where the authorities if they wanted to search your vehicle will do so and get away with it. The court case I was referring to was Helen vs North Carolina (2014) where a cop pulled over a couple for a broken tail light, that in fact turned out to be unlawful. The cop then used this as a pretext to search the occupants and car and found coke. This was challenged in court and initially the couple won however the Supreme Court overturned this on appeal basically saying cops can make reasonable mistakes in establishing probable cause.
Jay Z deserves ALL the success he’s had, and more. The lyrics: “you know the type, load as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit-fight…” just so friggin’ good 🙌
Whatever happened to music like this, this still sounds more bad ass than what you hear most nowadays. Thank goodness for UA-cam, we can go back in time.
Give me this hip hop over this new school 🗑️ anyway! Hate this new school 🗑️ 😡 Everyone sounds the same even the music sounds the same😡 Hip hop was hip hop until the new school came around then it became 🗑️😡 Everyone used to have their own style and sound, sure their were rappers who used to sound like other rappers but nothing like now😡 Just about all of them sound the same😡 There's no originality anymore😡
The fact Rick Rubin is in this music video in a full on pimp jacket makes this already way to legendary music video beyond anyones comprehension of epicness
I used to live in this neighborhood.... impressive that he went back there to shoot the video. Im not even a big fan but I gotta say he knocked it out of the park with this video .
The best edited music video in history, courtesy of Robert Duffy/Spotwelders. And of course director Mark Romanek for having the good taste of hiring him.
goddam! Rick Rubin, From Beasties to hair bands to real rock to Jay-Z and Johnny F**kin Cash! He was able to show us better sides of them all than they could see on their own. And w/subtraction more than addition.
Jay-Z is a genius. This song rocks. Only one complaint with the lyrics. He said "cuz I'm African" paraphrased. He is mother fucking American! And one of the best!!!
I remember when this video debuted on bet . Before the video jay z went out his way to give an advisory of the shooting scene saying he "was playing out of part" . Jay knew predictive programming and he ain't want that bad voodoo in the air. The system taught him well.
Our realtor told me what we were getting for our house last year. Had a shit-ton else going on but was happy about the sale price. Told her I got 99 problems but the house ain't one! She laughed her ass off and said she was gonna listen to this song now! Thanks Jay-Z, excellent song, and joke hook!
There's a part of me that wishes that The Black Album was truly his last album. Such an incredible experience and the documentary "Fade to Black" was the perfect Hip-Hop documentary to close out his career.
I have come to this song very late, and I cannot get enough of it. Which is saying something for me as a feminist. The beat is irrepressible, the video is lights out, and the depiction of police interference in young black men's lives never more relevant. A website about the song on "Genius" links to a law professor's take on the accuracy of the 2nd verse.....yet again affirming the intelligence Jay-Z speaks of in the song. A master class. Brilliant.
I wonder what happened to this gu...just kidding! We all know Jay Z is one of the greatest rappers to pick up a pen! I could listen to this song all day without break! Wish my generation made dope tracks like this too, but maybe I'm just too busy listening to the oldies to notice...well I'm sixteen without about 30 problems, so I still got time to find as much as I need.

Love this version. Can't stand it when songs like this get censored It's a crime against music

Too much truth about abusive governments.

Props to Ice T, thanks for your creativity and the idea of the song originally
“You know the type, Loud as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight.”
- favorite line
With inflation Jay Z now has 112.69 problems
Jay z is the pride of New York
Never been a big Jay-Z fan but respected his music. But this with Rubin producing is something I keep coming back to.
Jay Z deserves ALL the success he’s had, and more. The lyrics: “you know the type, load as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit-fight…” just so friggin’ good 🙌
My favorite part too, but he should have said "couldn't" Instead of wouldn't. Small change but makes a big difference in meaning
Thank You Ice-T for your contribution
🙏❤
Yes, uncensored as it must be, love it.
I'm a middle-aged white guy and for some reason this speaks to me,
Whatever happened to music like this, this still sounds more bad ass than what you hear most nowadays. Thank goodness for UA-cam, we can go back in time.

Rick Ruben and Jay-Z. Two masters of music together.
Shout out to the girl who posted this for keepin it real.
How does this not have 100 million views?!
"back trough the system with the riff raff again, fiends in the floor, scratchin again" felt that.
I've been trying to find this video for years,thank you

The fact Rick Rubin is in this music video in a full on pimp jacket makes this already way to legendary music video beyond anyones comprehension of epicness
Rick Rubin ❤

We need Every hood be blastin this especially in 2021 let’s get it 😂😂
BadAss.
BRING IT!
This is in my recommended today. Shows that this will never get old. This song even appeared on my car radio 5 days ago.
goddam! Rick Rubin, From Beasties to hair bands to real rock to Jay-Z and Johnny F**kin Cash! He was able to show us better sides of them all than they could see on their own. And w/subtraction more than addition.
I think Rick worked with Neil Diamond at one point too
He also owned smoky mountain wrestling.
Rick Rubin is the shit. Best producer ever.
All of this.
dont forget fucking Slayer
Absolutely fantastic song! This came out my last summer working in a prison for the criminally insane. You heard it often. Never gets old.
Jay-Z is a genius. This song rocks. Only one complaint with the lyrics. He said "cuz I'm African" paraphrased. He is mother fucking American! And one of the best!!!
Somehow this found my feed... And I'm glad it did...
Thanks to Ice T for doin this song first. We wouldn't have this version without him.
Who's here in 2021 listening to one of the best rap songs in our period of angst y teens
It never gets old....
Rick Rubin is a Musical Genius..., One of Hov's best.
This is the story of my life!
I remember when this video debuted on bet . Before the video jay z went out his way to give an advisory of the shooting scene saying he "was playing out of part" . Jay knew predictive programming and he ain't want that bad voodoo in the air. The system taught him well.
Real dope.
99 problems, Roger that.. Number Specialist Royalty collector, Gurkha here
This beat still bawpin
Rick Rubin’s idea to come in on the track like that on the beginning was genius.
Seem like he's going to make it big
Was at work thinking about the problems I am having in life and this song came to my mind.
Our realtor told me what we were getting for our house last year. Had a shit-ton else going on but was happy about the sale price. Told her I got 99 problems but the house ain't one! She laughed her ass off and said she was gonna listen to this song now! Thanks Jay-Z, excellent song, and joke hook!
Here after Kanye mentioned on JRE
So you didnt know who jay z is?
This shizzle just never gets old - bring it on 2019
Yeah. Still one of the best jams ever
Getting in this video is what made Chris Stapleton's career
Can't believe this is a remake. 😂🤣 Ice T a legend!
🔥🔥this song is dope
Best version of the song
I heard this song playing on the radio of a school bus as I was waiting next to it at a stoplight...and I had to hear it for myself :P
If this song was a person it would be old enough to vote in American elections.
And it's still just as fire as the day it was released.
My favorite rap song of all time.
Older rap was so much better than new rap
Never gets old and props to Rick Rubin
"YOU CRAZY FOR THIS ONE RICK"
There's a part of me that wishes that The Black Album was truly his last album. Such an incredible experience and the documentary "Fade to Black" was the perfect Hip-Hop documentary to close out his career.
This is such a bad assed song I love it
Among the Best to Do It!! 👊🏾
I feel like such a badass with this jam booming in my minivan.
I love you bro... Finally I can listen full song... Being 13 years I wanted this version...
Instant classic.😎
This song is so🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As I've said I have no bitch problems either, this cougar knows how to keep her kittens in line 🐱🎶

It's like watching the original video in a mirror 😊
Better than the censored version

Correction, now having read the law prof's piece: some of the song's verse gets the law right and some of it doesn't. Still, it's brilliant poetry.
Top 10 rap song of all time
Still fire in 2019🔥
Спасибо за нормальную версию)
Best hiphop vid of all time. Every shot is perfect.
I wonder what happened to this gu...just kidding! We all know Jay Z is one of the greatest rappers to pick up a pen! I could listen to this song all day without break!
