4.0 out of 5 stars Hard Knock Life, April 23, 2004

The Gifted One (Charlotte, North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hard Knock Life (Audio CD)

Hard Knock Life was the song back in 98/99 and it still bangs today. This song was as much street as it was commercial. The Hard Knock Life remix was wack. The beat sounded like some R&B rubbish and didn't appeal to me at all. Jay should have let someone like DJ Premier remix it for him. The Money Cash Hoes Remix I have to say though is great. Jay adds his new proteges Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel on this one. Beans even outshines Jigga himself on this one. The only downside is that DMX didn't have a verse. Now he's only on the hook. Overall this is pretty good if you're into buying singles. If not then just buy the Hard Knock Life album and download the Money, Cash, Hoes Remix. That Hard Knock Life Remix is a waste of time. Don't even download it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great song, bad remixes, April 28, 2002

E.J. Rupert (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Hard Knock Life (Audio CD)

"Hard Knock Life" was the bomb then in 1998, and it still is now. But the remix, with its R&B-ish music, sounds like a watered-down version that they would only play on easy listening stations during the daytime. And the only good thing about the "Money, Cash" remix (otherwise known as "More Money, More Cash, More...") is Memphis Bleek's line when he says, "No need to dress warm, I brought plenty of heat." Otherwise, this remix shouldn't have been made. DMX isn't even in this version.
