submeat's top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#34 "99 Problems," Jay-Z (Roc-A-Fella)
Another of the finest lyrics of the year can be found here:
"If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one."
But that's not really why this record rocks. Hard. It's all behind the mixing board: Jigga got Rick Rubin to produce this track, harkening back both in spirit and feel to his classic records made for the likes of L.L. in the mid-'80s. So when I tell you this rocks, I mean it literally. This is how it should be done.
