MUSIC JUNQUI: OLD AS CHEESE: JAY-Z FT BEYONCE “03′ BONNIE AND CLYDE”
9 Feb
Jay-Z and Beyoncé do their own spin on 2Pac’s classic“Me And My Girlfriend”, only with a twist: While 2Pac was actually talking about his gun, Jay’s talking about his actual girlfriend — making it a romanticized Bonnie and Clyde-type story that many listeners initially took 2Pac’s version as (but considerably less violent)
Kanye West does production duty, and he keeps the main sound of 2Pac’s original while still making it sound fresh
The song was released on Jay’s 2002 double album The Blueprint²: The Gift and the Curse, and it was one of the biggest hits on the album: It was not only Jay’s second top ten single, but Beyoncé’s first top ten single as a solo artist. Check out the video below:
