C'mon, this is a pitiful cover of Tupac's Me and My Girlfriend, which is one of my favorite Pac songs. This doesn't hold a candle to the original. I'm not saying this just because he's copying Pac; I'm saying it because the song SUCKS, okay? The lyrics aren't half as good as the original, and it's about his actual girlfriend, who is Beyonce, and Pac's was about his gun. The lyrical difference:

Look for me, lost in the whirlwind/
96 Bonnie and Clyde Me and My girfriend/
Doin 85 when we ride trapped in this world of sin/
Born as a ghetto child, raised in this whirlwind/
My childhood years recallin tears heart laced with venom/
Smokin sherm drinkin malt liquor father forgive her/
Me and my girlfriend, hustlin fell in love with the struggle/
Hands on the steering wheel blush while she bail out bustin/
F*ck em all watch em fall screamin automatic gunfire/
Excorsising all demons/
Mafias on my side/my congregation high ready to die/
We bail out to take the jail back, n***as united

and 03 Bonnie and Clyde:
Look for me, Young B, cruisin down the westside High way/
Doin what we like to do Our way/
Eyes behind shades this necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates but today/
I got my thoroughest girl with me/
I'm mashin the gas she grabbin the wheel it's true to the heart/
She rides with me, the new Bobby and Whitney/
The only time we don't speak is during Sex and the City

Big difference? Okay, enough's said.

not only is this a very poor version of 2pac's classic 'me & my girlfriend' but jay-z tries to better the original, it is outshone by pac once again, the funniest thing is that jay-z doesnt seem to realise that the original 2pac song wasn't about his girlfriend, he used girlfriend as a metaphor for his gun, but jay-z is too dumb and ignorant to notice this and therefore jay-z puts in a hilarious effort to wrongly recreate a true classic, pac was too smart for jay-z when he was alive and it seems jay-z still doesnt understand pac and is no where near his level of genius even after his death.

Shut up people this is a great remix of the 2Pac song Me and My Girlfriend.This was about Bonnie and Clyde with a new twist they
added in Beyonce and it became a hot song.
Lyrics 9/10 Production 10/10 Overall 9.5/10

Now Jay-Z has talent. He's capable of lyrical cleverness and decent flow. This song, however, lacks both. Its takes a played out idea (variatations on Bonnie & Clyde concept has been done by Ice Cube, Eminem, 2Pac (ofcourse), and nurmerous others) and adds to it a stolen hook (2Pac - Me & My Girlfriend). Throw in a bunch of been-there done-that lyrics, a hook that sounds too quiet for the subject matter (unlike the Pac version), and a weak beat; and you have not only a poor choice of single but a poor excuse for a song.

Scrape together a few more dollars and buy Makaveli's 7 Day Theory if you want to hear this type of song done correctly (Me & My Girlfriend).

I don't really get all the Love that Lay Z opps I Mean Jay Z gets??His tone&vibe are so basic it hurts my head.now He teams up with Beyonce on a Old 2Pac track&doesn't add any Life too it.the true "Bonnie&Clyde" of rap Songs was the one Ice Cube&Yo-Yo did back in the early 90's.this is a dime a dozen just like much of what Jay Z does.

Yall are dumb ratin thiz a good single...Jigga...Ligga...Jigsaw...whateva thiz big lip fool nickname iz...tendz to copy 2 pacz song "Me & My girlfriend"...and yall sayin that itz az good az 2 pacz version, Shutup!!!! Gay-Z copiez it frum Pac cuz he still wantz revenge after Pac diss thiz boring big lip fool...n wantz fame...but yet idiot fanz still respect thiz wack rapper...i dunno why...even tha cover lookz stupid...stay away frum hiz albumz cuz he gotz lotz of fanz n hypnotize'em but he didnt hypnotize me cuz i feel asleep on hiz borin songz n gay beatz...(...)

I don't know why do 90% of the singers steal other artists' work (okay, they call it 'sampling' but it's all the same). Within a few years it's already the 3rd cover of this Tupac song, and even if it were as good as the Mariah Carey or Toni Braxton versions, it would be still tiresome to listen it. Jay-Z and Beyonce can do much better than this, instead of this single buy "Crazy In Love" if you aren't sick of it being played 50 times a day.
