Merely a reckless young black man in the eyes of a broken society, 100s has taken it upon himself to thrive. At 19 years old, he arrives a true student of the game: a living, breathing, smoking tribute to the long line of West Coast players.
2. 100s (or Hyaku Shiki) are a six-piece Japanese guitar group formed around the singer-songwriter Nakamura Kazuyoshi, first appearing as a group in 2001 at the Rock In Japan Festival.
Nakamura Kazuyoshi first appeared in 1997, releasing a number of singles, four original albums and a best of compilation as a solo artist. Called a 'genius' by his peers for the quality of the songwriting he produced, Nakamura's first music was convincingly Lo-Fi, some making comparisons with Beck at the time.
Gradually his sound became more expansive, and the group 100s was formed from a mixture of contributors to his previous solo projects and other musicians. Taking their name from Nakamura's fourth solo album 100s played festivals and released their first album 'OZ' in 2005.
Three of 100s' members; Machida (Macchi), Tamada (Tom) and Yamaguchi (Hirokun) have been friends since studying music together at university, while Nakamura Kazuyoshi and Ikeda (ikechan) are from similar neighborhoods. The sixth member, Ono (Onochan) has played guitar and contributed vocals to a number of groups in his career.
100s' second album 'ALL!!!!!!' is expected for release in May 2007.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shit, like Im on the set of big pimping in 2000
She got her ankle tag back, I want 2000
Bitch up in the slide door, fix a nigga typo
And if you cant do fix a nigga, bravo
Let me take off my shoes, let me set down my jewels
Hundreds when I liked you and never call her, right you
Suck my dick up on the dance floor like its 95
Throw back nigga like a Jerry curl in the summer
As a speed a nigga yelling and Im the number one stunter
Driving 400 degrees, running in bitches in threes
Taking them out on the season, nothing but their broad straps
I like my bitch suck fast, I like to fuck em in the ass while you beat up the pussy
And thats all
Shake that ass like its 1999, like its 1999
Niggas throwing cash like its 1999, like its 1999
Throw back, tow back
Holla at them backs, nigga, fucked up
All my niggas is beside me, hundreds got the hoes, shaking ass like
Holla at a third world man
Holla at a third world man
Bounce that ass and Imma let that motherfucker burst
Get that ass, nigga, with a dick long as my perm
All though she was banging cause she had 9 inches of that hair
Hundreds came to burst up on your face and now you fucking laid
Back in Jacuzzi with groupies like she just see in a movie
Pick em out like boosty hoes, the fame tryina
Wheres Sidney and Shirae? Wheres Sidney and Shirae?
Imma do my thing cause the DJ all switched it up
Slide right behind your bitch, the roof on fire, nigga, we dont need no water hoe
Hundreds got the hoes from the projects to the water whole
Gucci mama ass bitch used to work at Dominos
and now she breaking niggas for designer clothes
Bitch, shake that ass like its 1999, like its 1999
Niggas throwing cash like its 1999, like its 1999
Throw back, tow back
Holla at them backs, nigga, fucked up
All my niggas is beside me, hundreds got the hoes, shaking ass like
Ladies, I said ladies
Do the ladies run this motherfucker?
Hold on
Fellas, I said fellas
Do the fellas run this motherfucker?
There it is
The lyrics to 100s's song "1999" evoke a sense of hedonism and nostalgia for a bygone era of excess and carefree living. The opening lines "Got a 1999 bitch, in my suite they shaking like it's 1999" suggest a focus on materialistic pleasures and sexual conquests. The line "Shit, like I'm on the set of big pimping in 2000" refers to Jay-Z's 2000 hit "Big Pimpin'," which also celebrates the lavish lifestyle of a successful rapper. Further in the song, the lyrics mention getting ankle tags back, possibly referring to being released from house arrest, and a desire for the year 2000, which could signify a fresh start or a continuation of the party lifestyle.
