Momentum
This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.
Why it's 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. [1] 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. [2] 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. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
