"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.

Critical reception

AllMusic's Dave Connolly describes the remix as "less than stellar,"[2] while Steve Juon of RapReviews.com considers it to be a "noteworthy" song that "Jay-Z fans will appreciate."[3]
