99 Happy Hardcore Problems, Jay-Z vs. The Prodigy.

Presumably locked and loaded for a bonus rework disc to Jay-Z's latest in a series of seemingly superfluous greatest hits compilations out next month (this time including Empire State Of Mind, of course), perhaps the most bizarre clashing of heads between Manhattan glitz and Essex happy hardcore grime, The Prodigy's 99 Problems take is as brutal as an unarmed frisk with a rampant bull at the heart of Chelmsford's V Festival. Lovingly carved onto the cover of the Black Album with the aid of Photoshop it seems (artwork above), Liam Howlett equips one of rap's most raucous hits of evah with slabs of synth hefty enough to floor the Empire State Building and surrounding blocks. Still not quite sure as to its relevance however...
