Release Notes
------------------

I hated this song when it came out and I still don't like it. I think the track is horrible but for some reason a lot of people swear up and down this song is the truth, but I just dan't agree. I like the original "Excuse Me Miss" the best. Produced By The Neptunes. From The "Bad Boys II" Soundtrack.

Release Notes
------------------

Yet another Money, Cash, Hoes Remix Promo CD. The difference in this one is that Money, Cash, Hoes Remix is actually shorter than any of the other versions that I have posted on here, they do a half chorus in between Jay & Memphis Bleek's rap and end very soon after the last chorus after Beanie. The Radio Edit of Jigga What is awesome of course.

Release Notes
------------------
Ratail Version of the Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem). I remember buying this to see if the More Money, More Cash, More Hoes Remix was different than the promo version and it was a few seconds shorter than the promo version. It says 1998 on the back scan but the CD itself says 1999 so I went with that.

Release Notes
------------------
Now this is what I'm talking about. A lot of people say they don't know what the difference is between the Premier Mix and this one. Well this version basically has the original beats all the way through the whole song instead of stopping in the middle of the song switching the beats up.

Cool cut from Jay-Z. I love his earlier stuff way better than his newer stuff. The version of A Million & One Questions is the Premier Mix which I do not like. The beats before they switch to the Premier Mix is the version I like.
