Cell phone video of a black man's arrest is drawing outrage with footage showing the man being handcuffed after allegedly walking in the street where a sidewalk was under construction.

In the seven-minute video, posted to YouTube Wednesday, the man is first seen arguing with a white Edina, Minnesota officer who tightly holds the back of his jacket in an apparent attempt to prevent him from running away.

"You're walking down the middle of the street," the officer says in the video, as he appears to forcefully pull the man toward the center lane and around a parked car.

"I'm on the damn white line!" answers the man. "You can't just put your hands on me like that!"

The woman filming the incident is repeatedly heard suggesting to the police officer that, instead of arresting the man, he show him where to walk.

"He's scared, sir. It's scary," the woman calls out during the heated scene."It's because he's black," she adds, in a lower voice. The Minnesota NAACP identified the woman as Janet Rowles.

The city, responding to the video in a statement Friday, confirmed that one of two surrounding sidewalks were closed because of construction but said that the video only captured a portion of the incident.

The statement said that the man had been walking in the roadway shortly before the recording started. When the officer turned on his lights and an audible signal, the pedestrian, who was wearing headphones, turned and acknowledged the officer but repeatedly ignored his order to move out of the road, the statement said.

The city said the officer responded by driving ahead and stopping his car, as a means to "block him from continuing in the southbound land of traffic."

"The man continued to defy the officer's directives and was belligerent," the statement read.

The man tested positive for alcohol and was cited for disorderly conduct and failure to obey a traffic signal. He was released 45 minutes later, city officials said.

Minnesota's NAACP, in its own statement Saturday, called the officer's behavior "dehumanizing and degrading."

"Watching that video and seeing a black man being manhandled and emasculated by Edina Police was not only painful and humiliating, it was a vivid reminder that blacks are still too-often seen as second class citizens in the State of Minnesota and in this nation," stated Nekima Levy-Pounds, a civil rights attorney and president of the Minneapolis NAACP. "It is sad to say, but that man in the video could easily have been the next Philando Castile or Jamar Clark, two unarmed black men who were killed by police within the last year."

Rowles, the woman who filmed the scene, also spoke out against the man's treatment, which she called "overzealous."

"There was absolutely no reason for the officer to stop him from walking. I easily passed him in my vehicle because he was hugging the right side next to the construction, literally walking on the white line that marks the shoulder," she said in the NAACP's release. "I have no interest in vilifying the police, but obviously I got out of my car in the first place because I perceive the pedestrian might not get treated fairly because of his ethnicity."

In addition to asking for an apology, the NAACP has asked that an outside investigation be conducted into the incident and that the officer be suspended without pay.

The police department could not immediately be reached for comment Sunday; nor could the man whom the NAACP identified as the person arrested.

Like so many cultural moments do, it began with Beyoncé.

February, Super Bowl 50: The pop star took the biggest stage in TV, leading an army of women dressed as Black Panthers who at one point formed an X on the field, which seemed like (and most likely was) an overt tribute to Malcolm X. It might've been easy to miss the statement amid all the booty shaking, but days later, cries of "Boycott Beyoncé" made it clear she'd had an impact. The months that followed made apparent the significance of the moment: she'd kicked off The Blackest Year in Television.

The 2016-17 season featured a record high percentage (20 percent) of black series regular characters on broadcast networks, according to GLAAD's recent " Where We Are" survey. As a result, we saw the broadest, most varied, provocative portrayals of African-American life on TV ever; with many of them proving to be success stories that illuminated that black narratives and universal appeal aren't mutually exclusive. And while stories from all cultures are important, this season's spate of content focused on African-Americans - historically shut out of powerful and lucrative engines like TV - helped push forward the promise of a more inclusive industry.

Black stories mattered in 2016: most notably Ryan Murphy's brilliant The People v O.J. Simpson. What could have simply been a celebrity true crime story was elevated to an unflinching musing on race and justice - and it won nine Emmys. Orange Is the New Black, and all confronted killings of African-Americans by police with widely talked-about storylines: the heartbreaking death of Poussey ( Samira Wiley) on OITNB, which paralleled Eric Garner's real-life choking in New York City; the shooting of an innocent black man by police on UnReal sparked conversation about institutional bias, based on the way the story pivoted to a white heroine; and b lack-ish's lauded episode " Hope" invited America to eavesdrop on a family wrestling with fear, confusion and perplexing questions following a case of police brutality.

Sometimes though, what mattered was that the shows eschewed issue-driven talk for just showing other aspects of African-American life. On L oosely Exactly Nicole, we saw a proud, loud and hilarious overweight millennial with a high sex drive and a stalled career bumble her way through Hollywood and hookups. The women of HBO's were a little more grown up but also grappling with universal issues: hero Issa ( Issa Rae) was a ball of confusion and shaky decision-making, while the corporate Molly ( Yvonne Orji) illustrated what it looked like to be a winner in the office and a mess everywhere else.

Add them to the the ladies of OWN's Queen Sugar, the formidable Tasha ( Naturi Naughton) on and Viola Davis on How to Get Away with Murder, and there's now an unprecedented spectrum of black women: messy, fierce, struggling, thriving, screwing up and even homicidal. Contrast that with 2013, when Kerry Washington became the first black woman in almost 40 years to lead a primetime drama, with .

Elsewhere, old tropes got challenged in new ways. Power continued to complicate the life of its anti-hero drug dealer James St. Patrick ( Omari Hardwick) - a cunning, murdering, savvy businessman who is also a sensitive father seeking redemption. On The Get Down, forgotten poor black and Latino youth who created hip-hop were reframed as creative visionaries fighting to be seen and heard. In Netflix and Marvel's , we got varying points of view about how black people regard notions of justice in their own communities, and heard mixed feelings about the N-word - all while being a phenomenally entertaining superhero story.

Even slavery got flipped on its head as Underground, a fast-paced action-escape thriller, showed the cunning and creativity of people on the run for their lives. Stories we thought we knew, or had heard before, took on a fresh perspective.

What's perhaps even more important to note is that these weren't just creative successes, they were financial and ratings successes as well, proving that underserved audiences will come out to watch stories that resonate; and will bring other viewers with them.

Underground pushed WGN America's ratings up some 1000 percent over the previous year. , FX's existential hip-hop dramedy debuted as the most-watched basic cable comedy since Inside Amy Schumer. And Power set viewership records at Starz when Season 3 premiered - more than doubling the viewership of the previous lead, Outlander, and giving Starz leverage to battle HBO and other prestige networks.

Towards the end of The Blackest Year in TV, Saturday Night Live featured Dave Chappelle and A Tribe Called Quest, mere days after the shocking end of the presidential election. Chappelle opened the show with a scathing yet surprisingly hopeful monologue. ATCQ performed urgent and fresh protest music, including the fiery " We the People" - the chorus of which shouted that blacks, Mexicans, the poor, Muslims and gays were despised in America.

It was electric, bold and for people of many backgrounds, a unifying statement that accurately captured emotions they were too numb to articulate. Tribe ended by showing its members in a big long group hug - a rare glimpse at black men in a state of vulnerability, solidarity and support. It was beautiful, very black and not for nothing, as it was SNL's highest-rated show in years.

The road ahead, though, is murky. Despite all this progress, some 90 percent of the people running broadcast network TV shows this year were white - a number tragically disconnected with the country's makeup and consumer tastes. Post-election, "inclusion" is no longer a buzzword. It's a challenge to pick a side and fight.

But with creators like Donald Glover of Atlanta - a show staffed entirely with first-time black writers - and Courtney Kemp of Power vocal about getting people of color jobs in TV, change is already underway, whether the new status quo is in favor or not. Heading into a time of massive economic, social and cultural uncertainty, strong voices like theirs will prove to be more vital than ever, and we as viewers (and critics) need to continue to support them however we can.

As the refrain went on Luke Cage, "Always forward." In 2017, we need to push for more creators of varied cultures in front and behind the camera, and in positions in networks where the big decisions can be made. It's not just smart creatively, it works financially. Let's eclipse 2016, and make next year The Blackest Year in TV, ever.

It's a big ask, but we can do it. Especially when we've got Beyoncé.

In what may just be the coolest thing movie fans get to watch online today, a video has made its way online that sets movie clips to the lyrics of Jay-Z's "99 Problems." Watch it ahead and see if you recognize all of the movies that are featured. ?

The video below is not a music video. It's more a compilation of movie clips featuring words and phrases from Jay-Z's popular song, arranged to match the lyrics, with a bit of musical accompaniment in the background. The lyrics are also conveniently subtitled at the bottom, which makes it easy to keep up. What's not so easy is trying to catch all the movies featured, but that's part of the fun.

Of course, some parts are easier to hear than others, which is why the subtitles help. The video above was recently shared by TheNerdist.com and I have to agree with the writer who posted it when they say, "I have no idea what possessed video DJs Eclectic Method to take Jay-Z's "99 Problems" and recreate it with clips from movies." But after watching it all the way through, I like to think that movie history has slowly been shaping itself around the song, with each featured film somehow mysteriously finding its own portion of the lyrics in their script. But that may just be my overactive imagination at work. I suppose the likely explanation is that Jonny Wilson ( Eclectic Method credits him for composing the video) had the time, skills, and the appreciation for movies and rap to put it together.

Two decades after his death on September 13, 1996, Tupac Shakur endures as one of hip-hop's most iconic figures and its most powerful enigma. His life was a tapestry of often contradictory images: the concerned young father cradling his son in the video for "Keep Ya Head Up"; the angry rapper spitting at cameras as they swirled around his 1994 trial for sexual assault; the artist who animatedly, yet eloquently, pushed back at Ed Gordon's questions during a memorable BET interview; and the man who seemed to predict his own demise when the "I Ain't Mad at Cha" video, released weeks after his death, depicted him as an angel in heaven.

Although he is no longer with us, the myth of 2Pac the thug angel remains. No other artist better illuminates hip-hop's fault lines between regional pride and mainstream success, and the struggle to transcend and elevate beyond humble origins while honoring the streets that raised you. His wayward, conflicting expressions of pride, militancy and gangster-ism resonates in a world when black men and women celebrate their heritage and collectively organize against a racist America, yet are also cautious to protect themselves from each other.

Fans - particularly East Coast rap listeners who, after all these years, still harbor a grudge against him - will continue to debate whether 2Pac's albums can measure up to Nas' Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, or Jay Z's Reasonable Doubt. But no one can deny the way he transformed hip-hop into his singularly muscular, tattooed, bald-headed, bandana-clad image. Here are some of the ways 2Pac changed hip-hop - and, by extension, pop culture - forever.

Yes, Ice Cube launched his acting career with his understated depiction of the Compton crack dealer Doughboy in 1. Shakur's appearance in Juice as Bishop, the troubled high school teen who fashions himself into a cold-hearted killer, is the first great dramatic performance by a rapper in a movie.
Boyz N Tha Hood, which preceded Pac by a year. Months after Juice debuted in theaters in January of 1992, Ice-T would become a movie star in New Jack City. But Shakur, who studied acting while attending high school in Atlanta, commanded the screen with an effectiveness that no rapper-turned-moonlighting-actor had managed before, and few have done since. While he didn't realize the promise of that early breakout role, he managed a few more solid acting performances before his death, including an overheated reprisal of his Bishop template in the basketball drama Above the Rim, and a nice turn as a heroin-addicted jazz musician in the underrated indie flick Gridlock'd.

After recording two albums - the muddled 2. He's the man who single-handedly transformed a common epithet for a criminal into a source of masculine strength.
2Pacalypse Now and the slightly improved Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. - Shakur unveiled his crew T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E., an acronym for The Hate U Gave Little Infants Fucks Everybody. At the time, it seemed like an unnecessary variation on the "gangster" trope that dominated West Coast rap at the time. However, his reimagining of a word that the Oxford Dictionary defines as "a violent person, especially a criminal" into an positive attribute resonated. 2Pac's vision redefined the word "thug" into a man who triumphs over systemic and societal obstacles. By the end of 1994, Cleveland quintet B.O.N.E. Enterprises had renamed themselves Bone Thugs-N-Harmony; the word has been since been adopted by Young Thug, Slim Thug and too many others to mention.

3. Shakur's New York trial for sexual assault was arguably the first rap celebrity court case.
He had already tangled with the legal system on numerous occasions, particularly when he shot two off-duty police officers in 1993. But the 1994 cemented his reputation as a livewire with a flair for drama. The press hungrily publicized his every move, like the aforementioned spitting episode and, more tragically, his appearance at his sentencing date in a wheelchair after he infamously sustained five gunshots from unknown assailants at Quad Studios. Countless rappers have weathered the legal system since, but none with as much tumultuousness.

Released in May while Shakur was incarcerated, 4. Before Shakur reported to prison for his sexual assault conviction, he completed the first rap "pre-prison" album.
Me Against the World is arguably his most concise and moving work. It found him making peace with his mother, Afeni Shakur on "Dear Mama," and ruminating over his mess of a life on "Lord Knows." "It ain't easy being me/Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?" he asks on "It Ain't Easy." There are also notes of joy like "Old School," an exuberantly goofy tribute to his rap heroes, and "Outlaw," where he flashes ill-advised anger at the woman who brought charges against him. 2Pac's mixture of remorse, regret, suicidal despondency and life-affirming hope has echoed in "pre-prison" albums like Lil Kim's Naked Truth, T.I.'s Paper Trail, and C-Murder's The Truest Shit I Ever Said.

1996's 5. Shakur signed with the hottest and most dangerous record label in America, Death Row, and dropped the first hip-hop double CD.
All Eyez on Me teems with "gangsta party" hits, high-wattage collaborations, and even samples - contrary to popular belief, G-funk producers sampled nearly as often as their East Coast counterparts. It's hard to describe an album that's certified Diamond for selling over 10 million copies as "underrated." But All Eyez on Me's reputation is closely tied to Pac's image at the time as a shit-starter, leading his growing critics to downplay exemplary tracks like "Ambitionz Az a Ridah" and "Heartz of Men." Nevertheless, its two-disc sprawl inspired a brief wave of double-album opuses, including Biggie's Life After Death, Wu-Tang Clan's Wu-Tang Forever, E-40's The Element of Surprise and, more recently, Jay Z's Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse.

No other rapper has generated a legend as profound as 6. Shakur is the first dead rapper that made people think he's still alive.
The Don Killuminati: The Seven Day Theory, the 1996 album that fueled widespread belief that he had somehow survived the Las Vegas shooting. There was speculation that Pac called himself Makaveli to evade his antagonists, much as the political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli had claimed to do in The Prince five centuries earlier. "The Seven Day Theory" is modeled on Machiavelli's claim that he faked death for seven days; Shakur was pronounced dead six days after being shot. As an argument that Shakur is chilling on an island somewhere, it's suspect. As an incredible piece of myth-making, it has no equal in the genre.

This practice dates back to the days of Patsy Cline, John Coltrane and Jimi Hendrix, but had no real equal in hip-hop. The "Tupac effect" is subsequently used for any rap artist of note who meets an untimely demise, including the Notorious B.I.G. ( 7. Beginning in November 1997 with R U Still Down? (Remember Me), Shakur becomes the first rapper to have his estate mine-stripped for new product.
Born Again), Big Pun ( Endangered Species), Big L ( The Big Picture), and J Dilla ( Jay Stay Paid).

Before Lil Wayne flooded the Internet with his 8. He recorded a staggering amount of material.
Drought and Dedication mixtapes, and Lil B bragged "you're not a real rapper until you make a thousand songs," hundreds of tracks from Shakur's Death Row sessions appeared on compact disc. The bootlegs not only intensified talk that he was somehow still alive, but led to accusations that Suge Knight, then in prison and battling Afeni Shakur over control to Tupac's work, was responsible for the leaks. "13 bootleg albums of his unreleased material have hit the streets. Is Death Row responsible?" asked Rap Pages, which dedicated a September 1998 cover to "The Raping of Tupac." Regardless of the source, Shakur's posthumous deluge set a precedent that everyone from Weezy to Gucci Mane follows to this day: Stay in the studio, and feed the streets until it bursts.
