Jay-Z grew up in Brooklyn living in the projects after his father left when he was 12. He dropped out of high school and began selling cocaine. His 1996 album Reasonable Doubt was based on his experiences dealing drugs and having legal issues. His song "99 Problems" references his life avoiding police ("99 problems but a bitch ain't one") and disputes in the rap world. The music video features a controversial ending and addresses stereotyping and racism.
