Jay Z 99 Problems ( Video Official)

99 Problems is the third single released by American rapper JayZ in 2003 from The Black Album. It reached number thirty on the U. S Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The track was produced by Rick Rubin, his first hip hop production in many years. Rubin provided JayZ with the type of strippeddown beat that was once his trademark. To construct the beat, Rubin used samples of The Big Beat by Billy Squier, and Long Red by Mountain. Although it remains uncredited, 99 Problems also contains samples of Get Me Back on Time, Engine No. 9 by Wilson needed The title and chorus are taken from IceT s 99 Problems from his 1993 album Home Invasion. The song featured Brother Marquis of 2 Live Crew. Portions of IceT s original lyrics were similarly quoted in a song by fellow rapper Trick Daddy on a track unsurprisingly titled 99 Problems from his 2001 album Thugs Are Us.
