[carlfense]

This is a line-by-line analysis of the second verse of 99 Problems by Jay-Z, from the perspective of a criminal procedure professor. It’s intended as a

resource for law students and teachers, and for anyone who’s interested in what

pop culture gets right about criminal justice, and what it gets wrong.

Some NSFW language in the link.

Ha - I'm in one of the other 37 states. Co-worker knew the boss was up pulling some crap, so took a recorder in her purse and caught the bastard. Nothing sexual, just job performance stuff.
