"Nigga What, Nigga Who (Originator 99)" is a single by rapper Jay-Z's third album Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life. The song is produced by Timbaland and features two artists: Big Jaz, who raps one verse and Amil, who sings the track's chorus.

The song's title was often changed to "Jigga What, Jigga Who (Originator 99)" to avoid airing the word "nigga".

In 2004, the song was mashed with Linkin Park's "Faint" in the six track EP Collision Course.
