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 TH-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😡
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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 .
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.
Love this version. Can't stand it when songs like this get censored It's a crime against music
Against Human Culture even!!!
I can garuntee if he wasnt swearing, they'd still find a way to censor it.
Too much truth about abusive governments.
ICONIC
ICONIC BADASS.
True and I say it loudly

@@jorgeeze Johnny Cash, Jay-Z, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Slayer, System of a Down, Dixie Chicks. Rubin is the GOAT.
duh
He's one of the The GOATS...Not THEE GOAT. There is NO "THEE GOAT." imo 2MANY GREATS TO NAME IN 2MANY DIFFERENT GENRES...🐐
I got 99 problems with the censored vevo version of this song.
But a b**** *in't one.
Exactly
When does this video get enabled? I haven't found it for years, and all my alternative videos got banned
@@Albert-yg5is dude its dirty version. U can Bitch.
@@MrGTAmodsgerman it is already..in Germany ..

@@ktolwal I got 99 problems but listening to this song ain’t one
watz crazy is the line rhymed & showed the mentality of some officers ...
I cant stay listening once the beat drops.
really cuz I've always thought that was dumb. 54 doesn't exist, why not 56 in a 55
With inflation Jay Z now has 112.69 problems
“You know the type, Loud as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight.”
- favorite line
The bit with police is one of the best verses in history
My favorite part, it's genius lol

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 is the pride of New York
IT NEVER GETS OLD
Thise bitches will always be the same
Been old
nope! crazy i learned my Miranda rights from a rap song. only education we got
@@Metareduxxx lucky u
Thank You Ice-T for your contribution
🙏❤
Rick Ruben and Jay-Z. Two masters of music together.
"back trough the system with the riff raff again, fiends in the floor, scratchin again" felt that.
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

Rick Rubin’s idea to come in on the track like that on the beginning was genius.
Definitely a classic that will never get old
J in his Prime.... Murdering everything!

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.

Seem like he's going to make it big
The Time that Jay-Z was hardcore.
Real dope.
This is the story of my life!
I feel like such a badass with this jam booming in my minivan.
Getting in this video is what made Chris Stapleton's career
Can't believe this is a remake. 😂🤣 Ice T a legend!
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
Now once upon a time not too long ago!!!!! That’s that BUN B “Touched”
Best version of the song
Thanks to Ice T for doin this song first. We wouldn't have this version without him.
Yeah. Still one of the best jams ever
This song is so bad assed I love it
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.
This is such a bad assed song I love it
Watched 99 videos: all had ads before watching them
This time: no ads.
The 2nd verse is killing me everytime 😭😂😂
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!
🔥🔥this song is dope
