Why it is here
- The song's piano hook samples "Love on a Two-Way Street" by the Moments, and grew from a demo Angela Hunte and Janet Sewell-Ulepic wrote as a tribute to their hometown before Jay-Z reworked the verses and kept the hook. source
- Jay-Z chose Alicia Keys over Mary J. Blige for the hook after hearing the song's piano loop, and Keys also wrote the song's bridge. source
- It won the Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration after being nominated for three Grammys including Record of the Year. source
