"Money, Cash, Hoes" is a song by American rapper
Jay-Z as the third single from his third album Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life (1998). It was released on December 18, 1998. While the album version features a guest verse from rapper
DMX, the remix features fellow rappers and
Roc-A-Fella Records artists
Memphis Bleek and
Beanie Sigel with
production by
Swizz Beatz. Its beat features a sample of "Theme of Thief" from the 1989
Sega game Golden Axe.[1] Producer Swizz Beatz stated that the glissando sounds were made by him sliding his hand across a keyboard, originally as a joke.[2] The remix version is featured on the
soundtrack to the movie The Corruptor. The music video for the remix version of the track is intertwined with clips from The Corruptor as well. In the end of the track, Pain in Da Ass talks, recreating dialogue from the film Goodfellas.
Critical reception
AllMusic's Dave Connolly describes the remix as "less than stellar,"[3] while Steve Juon of RapReviews.com considers it to be a "noteworthy" song that "Jay-Z fans will appreciate."[4]
