4.0 out of 5 stars Hard Knock Life
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great song, bad remixes
"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...

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT STUFF!, May 25, 2000
This review is from: Hard Knock Life (Audio CD)
This CD is the bomb. I love the song Hard Knock Life and the remix. I also like the remix of Money,Cash,H**S. The original version of Money Cash... is much better, but the remix aims to please. I also reccomend the single of Missy Elliot's Hot Boyz.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT SONG, June 10, 2000
This review is from: Hard Knock Life (Audio CD)
This is an awesome song. If you like this you might like Jay-Z's cd, Volume 2...Hard Knock Life. I just wish this cd came with an unedited version so it wasn't so choppy. If you like this I also reccomend Dr. Dre, Eminem, Redman, Method Man, or Busta Rhymes. Overall I suggest you buy this because it is a really great song by one of tha best rappers out there.
