Wow, Mike Bloomberg is awesome! I heard he also has every Pavement album on special edition yellow vinyl!

Perhaps he can appear with DMX tomorrow as part of a press conference to answer the demanding question of Where Da Hood At.

Uhh, did Jay-Z just say that learning to ride his bike at 4 years old was "one of his proudest moments"?

Seriously?

Mike Bloomberg has 99 problems

Hey, that's not bad. 812 less than his predecessor.

812 + 99 = Sum Dum Gai is the winner.

That's cool. Except for the fact that he got the song title wrong, and the song that he referenced was on a different album than the one the questioner was asking about.

Questioner asked about a song on The Black Album about learning to riding a bike.
Bloomberg said "was that 'Mother I Made It'"?
"I Made It" (the correct title) is on Kingdom Come.
The Black Album song is "December 4th"

So we're supposed to think it's cool that Bloomberg kind of knows one of Jay-Z's song titles? biatchin'.

Looks to me subby's wrong, and he does have 100 problems.

Correct, though reasonable doubt is much better

Headline would have contained a bit more win if it weren't for the fact that...

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.

Wow, some of you need to lighten up.

Is there really that much difference between "I Made It" and "Mother I Made It"?

I am sure you never added an extra word to a song title in your life.

I find it refreshing that Bloomberg took the time to learn some Jay-Z material.

Hell, McCain doesn't even know how to use the internet.

One of the greatest things I've ever seen at a concert was Jay-Z walking out during the second set of Phish's second show at Keyspan Park in 2004 and drawling "Yo, wuzup Brooklyn", at which point the crowd went apeshiat, and sang every word to Big Pimpin' and 99 Problems. I think Jay-Z was a little shocked at the reception he got.

I'll buy a bigger blunt. I'd put Blueprint ahead of Black Album though, but that's mainly because of Heart of the City. Those horns are crazy.
