this is probably the first youtube video i've ever seen where the comments have been constructive feedback rather than just "this isn't in sync you're a dick etc". there is still hope for humanity.
Jay-Z has swagger. It's more classically defined as "syncopation". It's a hallmark of many great hip hop artists, and it makes them NOTORIOUSLY difficult to remix. It's why you don't see a flood of good remixes of Jay-Z's songs, and it's also why you don't see many artists who can easily replicate his style.
You have a great idea, but to make it really stand out, you'll need to master the style for yourself. Keep at it!
I love this! I love it because it's slightly out and sounds the better for it.
It moves me and keep doing what you're doing. Carve your own niche. Well done for putting yourself up there. I play this REALLY LOUD before i go out partying. Fuck the muppet system where stuff sounds to a formula. Be quirky. Jayz would love the 'outness' of this, xx
I think Jay-Z honestly scientifically created a set of lyrics that magically is a universal rhythm. It sounds appropriate with EVERYTHING, this, the Beatles, the chili peppers, hell even a remix of a remix (Opposite of Adults) Either way I think its interesting how easy it it to listen to.
@TheGeckoRemixes bullshit, everything doesnt have to be in time, Its not art if your colouring inside of the lines. Wanna be an artist dude, keep doing what you're doing.

@ballahallashalla Its not the fact that its out of sync its just that the rap is too fast for the beat of the song

This could've been awesome, probably one of the best versions of 99 problems, but it's so outta sync. Please, fix this.

I like both songs, but they are really out of sync. It's not too bad but just needs worked a bit. Keep up the work and i'm sure it'll sound great!

Out of beat. Try to keep 'em in sync. Practice beatmatching a bit. Time stretch it a bit, don't just spin the two tracks side-by side originally.
