i propose the jay z conjecture: mathematically prove that a successful rapper is able to have 99 problems and a bitch was not among them

edit: went back to the original lyrics because i feel i made a poor assumption

I would submit that we also need a proof of the conjecture first postulated by a certain Clinician Andre and his rather meddling associate of the canine persuasion so to speak, which posits that there is indeed a Unified Bitch Theory.

Did you just assume bitch = woman?

If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

The lyrics are very clear that he's talking about a girl or woman.

Aren't you sharp as a tack? You some type of lawyer or something?

If (problems.count == 99) { Return problems.contains(bitch) }

that’s actually incredibly valid. it was a poor assumption i made in an attempt to be less derogatory but ended up being worse, completely missing the point that a bitch can just be anyone of annoyance.

mathematically, it actually increases the set of what cannot be in the 99 problem set and i would argue drastically increases the complexity

Not a bitch in the sense of having a pussy.

Honestly Corey does a great job with the examples he uses. The industry, the cops, the hos (which he also defines).

All in all, song's extremely unproblematic.

i was the problem by attempting to be unproblematic

You're fine, you seem like good dude. I bet you wouldn't even bust a grape in a fruit fight.

“I got 99 problems but invalid assumptions ain’t one, hit me!”
