Jay Z's 99 Problems video stirs controversy

I dont know why. MTV said that they werent going to play the video because it sj=hows him getting shot up at the end of it. The video is one of my favorites from him. Its very artistic and photographic. In a way like Madonna's "Secret".

A good choice for last single also.

I also heard that Nelly's new video "Tip Drill" is being banned because it's too explicit.Have any of you guys seen it? I think BET airs it,but only late at night?

Yeah i did see some Nelly video that had buttekkid grils and all that shit..wasnt all that 2 me. Ludacris did the same thing. The song is horrible..but strangely i did enjoy those strippers on the poles..it was like..how the hell the do that with they ass?

Not really.

It seems he was just trying to end his "legacy" off right. Showing him getting shot up. It is artistic. Just as Madonna killin gherself at the end of "What It Feels Like"...

MTV said they are not gonna play the video. They did play it one time..and had a long speech about y they are not showing it b4 it came on.

Nelly should be banned for sucking and forcing this Renaissance of souless hip-hop on us!

i love the 99 problems video...I think MTV added to the so called "controversy" because there have been more violent videos.


you can tell the shooting in the video is symbolic. I think the vid is hot though...Rick Rubin looks like a pimped out ZZTop member.

omfg pp4 i have to disagree. i thought it was disgusting. why in the world would i want to see some woman literally shaking her coochie in my face or worse yet, watch him run his credit card through her butt cheeks??!! bleah. And please don't give me that 'well the women signed up for it, they knew what they were doing' crap. IMVHO...it's nasty and he should have known better.

the song was...just nothing...the only reason you'd remember the tune is because of the video.

I saw Jay's video a couple of weeks ago. I like it very much. The intensity and rawness was dope.
