Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, and Memphis Bleek perform the remix version of "Money, Cash, Hoes" in a shadowy, industrial-looking space. Their solo verses are presented as a hard-edged posse performance, with rapid cuts, dramatic lighting, and urban imagery reinforcing the track's confrontational energy. The video is intercut with scenes from the 1999 crime film The Corruptor, creating a loose connection between Roc-A-Fella's street-rap imagery and the movie's Chinatown-set corruption narrative.
Factoids & Trivia
Although it is commonly labeled "Money, Cash, Hoes," the official video is built around "More Money, More Cash, More Hoes," the remix rather than the original album version.
The remix adds Roc-A-Fella artists Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek to the Jay-Z and DMX collaboration. It was released on The Corruptor soundtrack in 1999.
Film footage from The Corruptor is woven throughout the performance sections, making the clip function partly as a soundtrack tie-in and partly as a conventional rap video.
The original track appeared on Jay-Z's 1998 album Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life and became a notable collaboration between Jay-Z and DMX during their late-1990s commercial peak.
Swizz Beatz produced the track. Its unusual sliding keyboard sound was reportedly created as a joke during the recording process and retained because it worked with the beat.
The associated remix ends with spoken material by Pain in Da Ass that recreates dialogue from Goodfellas, extending Jay-Z's long-running use of gangster-film references.
