99 Problems

Isn't there a song?

99 Problems.

Yes.

That's Jay-Z.

All the other rappers that I worked with spent a lot of time writing lyrics, and I never saw Jay write lyrics.

And when I played him the beat for 99 Problems, he said, okay, just keep playing it over and over again.

And he sat in the back of the room.

You could hear him mumbling or humming.

Turned out not to be, but that was the plan.

And he asked his 10 favorite producers to each make one track with him.

And ours was called 99 Problems.

And it was a really fun experience to make.
