what parts of the music video seem controversial?
The part of the video that may seem to cause disagreement can be when Jay Z can be seen getting pulled over by the police and the visual changes to the back of the car and makes it to seem like an x-ray effect to show briefcases in the boot of the car. people may not like this as it is a stereotype that is targeted at black people and makes out to seem that the police target them.
