“99 Problems” is the third single released by American rapper Jay-Z in 2004 from The Black Album. It reached number 30 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 Jay-Z with a guitar riff and stripped-down beat that were once his trademarks. In creating the track Rubin used some classic 80s sample staples such as “The Big Beat” by Billy Squier, “Long Red” by Mountain, and “Get Me Back On Time” by Wilson Pickett. These songs were long coveted by early hip hop producers and featured on the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series.
The title and chorus are taken from Ice-T’s “99 Problems” from his 1993 album Home Invasion. The song featured Brother Marquis of 2 Live Crew....
