as an ardent hip hop fan my entire life i can safely say this is a pretty rad/cooky/cool cover, better then the original? no, but most are not, and even though i don't dig jay Z this is one of his better choons
don't be so uptight, effing haters. just understand they are having fun with it and we should just enjoy it on face value.
Yeah I know, left out and altered a few lyrics, sooooo? And I think your reading to deep into it man... doubt he think he's being uber COOL singing a Jay-Z song
@KaceKlosed In my opinion his made a joke of this song. as i said i like philly j's but they should stay away from trying to cover a rap song by changing it.
Don't understand why people bring race into music. Just because its what your into or whatever, and its typically a 'black' or 'white' genre doesn't mean others can't add to it. I like Jay-Z, but I also like this. And it isn't taking anything away from how awesome I think Jay-Z's version is, I just think this version is pretty awesome as well.
@chairhamsam dont be hating on the philly jays, take your racism somewhere else. I saw them live last night, the first song they played was 99 problems and it went off. Don't pretend that you're some regular critic of indie-rock, Philadelphia Grand Jury and Vampire Weekend are some of the best in the genre. You don't hate the bands, you just hate indie-rock.
So Pshychadelic (Black artist) does a song that Ice-T (Black Artist) uses a sample from. Then Jay-Z (Black artist) uses the chorus for his song, also called 99 problems. Then Philidelphia Grand Jury (The lamest white Indie-rock band in the world, besides Vampire Weekend) does a fuckin shit cover of the Jay-Z version. Why don't white people just stay out of it.
Yo I feel you bro. As a black person I hate it when my bros and hos disgrace themselves by singing white folk tunes. I see them rolling and I be hating.
@christopherson89 i swear i already wrote back to this comment, but i guess ill write again.
That comment is almost funny.....but anyway I wasn't being a dick, it was a serious question. I thought he was censoring himself because he was on radio or something but he swears at other points :s ?
@SacredSocietyAP Man, you should see this live . . . it IS fuckin hardcore - loudest, scratchiest guitars ever, the singer often jumps into the crowd with a mic and sings it all from there, shit gets smashed, stage invasions are commonplace, the mosh screams their fucking lungs out and the venue looks like a bomb hit it once they're done.
@purplegirl110294 Ok..I watched 2 live video's of this..sorry...still sucks...Like I said..if its supposed to be funny then ok..But it would be better if it were done by a hardcore band..If you wanna hear the loudest scratchiest guitars ever go listen to John Spencer Blues Explosion. Then go to one of his shows..If you don't have a stroke or go deaf then reply back.
@SacredSocietyAP I'm pretty sure they're not being completely serious considering it's a cover of a rap song (that has no "scratchy guitars" of it's own).
purplegirl ain't kidding either, Philly Jays live
@MrJimbob2707 hey, yeah i've seen the philly jays quite a bit but the art vs science guy was only at one. We got to hang out with Calvin and Berkfinger at St Jeromes but now they're in the UK :(
@hippidy7hoppidy When they first started, there was only Berkfinger (Vocals/Guitarist) and MC Bad Genius (Bass/Keyboard). The drummer is from Art vs Science since Berkfinger worked on their new album. But they have a full time drummer now Calvin
It's the same guy, he was in both bands. Philly Jays were cool with it, but Dan from Art vs Science kicked the shits and made him choose one band only. He choose the more successful one (and the one he was friends with the members fom school).
@hippidy7hoppidy he was the original drummer for the Philly jays, but has now taken up Art vs Science fulltime, Calvin has now taken over as full time drummer.
That is sooo funny...Great cover
