A careful listening of Jay-Z's material last night reveals a fondness for fine champagne, fine women and his own fine self, hopefully combining all three in a hot tub filled with $100 bills. That's just the surface impression. Sexist? Hard to say. But hateful it's not.

Last night's show was an expression of pure joy. Even "99 Problems," coming early in the evening, with its line, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one," was brimming with positivity -- positive that the man has a fine woman who is not a bitch, obviously. "Gimme That Funk" is a simple call for sex, while "Show Me What You Got" is a simple call to show him what you got, such as waving one's arms like one doesn't care, and so on.
