"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 artists Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel with production by Swizz Beatz. Its beat features a heavy use of descending synthesizers, and was made by Swizz Beatz sliding his hand across a keyboard, originally as a joke.[1] The remix version is featured on the soundtrack to the movie The Corruptor. In the end of the track, Pain in Da Ass talks, recreating dialogue from the film Goodfellas.
