Oh, God, this is almost too awesome to bear:

“If you havin’ Church problems then don’t blame God, son…
I got ninety-five theses but the Pope ain’t one.”

It’s not a new joke, taking Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” and using it to reference Martin Luther, but Writer-Director Alexander Dominitz, Yale ’09, creates such a flawless music video from the concept that I don’t effing care.  For real, Yale’s student run Bulldog Productions has rolled out one of the most hilarious YouTube videos that I’ve seen in a long time.  Except for the opening sequence, “95 Theses” was shot on Yale’s campus, mostly in Saybrook, Branford and Davenport Colleges.  The costumes were courtesy of the Yale Theater Department.  And yes, those old guys are professors.

Oh, and just in case the talent and vision it took to pull off this amazing little video aren’t already making you sick with jealousy, Yale actually paid for the production, which received the Peter Schtack Fund for Filmmaking (granted by the Master and Dean of Saybrook College).  So next time you’re using school funding to conduct research that involves way too many hours of Excel spreadsheets and SPSS, remember that the cool kids at Yale are getting funding to make badass historically-accurate rap videos.  Damn you, cool kids, damn you.
