Jigga-Man played his home town last week with a sold-out show at MSG. Like any good hip-hop show, guest cameos were plentiful with highlights being Akon and a soon to be jail-bound Lil Wayne. In a genre where the biggest stars are the biggest has-beens over the course of a week (Fiddy-who?), Jay-Z has continued to mount a mammoth indestructibility over it all. I am the last person who needs to hype Hova but here is a live take on the supremely killer “99 Problems” from the recent show.

Download: Jay-Z – 99 Problems (Live)
Jay-Z is playing for free today at Hollywood and Highland here in Los Angeles and this hustler is gonna be there. It’s funny, Jay-Z and I have a lot in common. He grew up in the projects of Brooklyn, I grew near the projects in South Dakota. Jay-Z had a vodka company, I drink a lot of vodka. I’m still working on the music mogul part, so he does have that on me. This is, in my opinion, the best song that Jay-Z has ever put out. I’m not a huge rap connoisseur but I can say that I’m a genuine Jay-Z fan and I can’t wait to see Jigga Man tonight.
