    A-side is great, b-side not so much

    Anyone who has a problem with PJ playing WMA (and Ed teasing WWS) while Jay Z raps 99 Problems is nuts. And I am anything but a Jay Z fan.
    i really hoped the full song would be in,wma with 99 problems

    That's an odd definition of "nuts". I think "W.M.A." would be a great sample for a rap track, just not this rap track, and by someone better than Jay Z.

    Personally I dig the new single.

    I have a legitimate use for socks.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I thought Side A was ok I guess but Side B is terrible.

    Bummer.

    I don't even hate 99 Problems as a Jay-Z song (I mean, I don't listen to it, but I've got no probs with it). I just don't understand why the 10C Christmas single is another artist's hit song. It doesn't make any good sense to me at all. Say it had been Jay-Z doing a PJ song - that would have made sense. Or even an obvious mash-up might have been cool. But Jay-Z singing his own mega hit (with a WMA baseline that most people don't even notice until someone mentions it) just seems dumb to me.

    Outside of Ed not doing vocals, I don't see how this cover is any different from any other cover song they have released for an x-mas single.

    To be fair, the 1997 single had the R.E.M. song "Live for Today". I wasn't too crazy about that either at the time, but I've grown to like it. The difference is, I've always liked R.E.M. to some degree.

    Its not that great of a song, but as an REM fan its nice to have the last recording as a quartet.

    I think it's great. I'm not a Jay Z guy at all but I like the "odd" mix for a christmas 45. It's exactly what I expect and love. And I CANNOT believe it made it to my house 2 days before Christmas this year. Nice job 10C.

    It's not a cover. It's another artist performing his own hit song. Big difference.

    Agreed. I like the music, but I'm indifferent about the spoken word verse.

    :lol: I love that folks are rationalizing this as a cover. :lol: what's the b side? Shit on a shingle? Or a ritz?
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
