Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) (page 1/1) ------ performed by Jay-Z Shut up about samples. | Reviewer: JES | 6/25/08 Using samples does not make the song entirely unoriginal in any way. Claiming that is like claiming DJ Shadow's album Endtoducing, is an unoriginal album, and we all sure as hell know that isn't true. So just enjoy a great rap song with a cute little sample that is used rather effectively. Goddamn. Quit Cmplainin | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/21/07 Look rap is a creation, just sometimes we gotta take from the past to create the future. It takes plent of talent to produce these songs. That's just the course, what about the lyrics, verses of em and beats it's a whole process. Jay'z' "Hard Knock Life | Reviewer: Vit IIkakshli | 5/6/07 Sampling may be unoriginal, but the end result sound nothing like the original song from which the sample came. That said, I sure as hell like this rap version better than that cheesy Annie song--Jay-z has taken a childish tune and mad it hip. Class | Reviewer: Bryan | 4/23/07 Brilliant tune, duno who you are 'Jason Weyandt'(if that is your real name) but you think your cool slaggin jay z, FUCK OFF Rhymin' and Stealin' | Reviewer: Jason Weyandt | 6/25/06 Just another song where the producers and the artist involved have stolen a theme or chorus. People please, when are we going to mature and take rap / hip hop to the place where it should be -a creation, not a regurgitation. Who can't take a proven hit or theme and mix it up with lyrics. This is like low budget Kareoke and where paying money to here it. A proven hit is already that, a hit. It takes minimal,if any, talent to produce these songs. Actaully all it takes is the money to pay off the copyright. I know I am just a no-name but have you ever tried to wright lyrics for a rap song...its not to hard, but have you ever tried to come up with an Original beat that actually sounded tight, now that is hard as hell! Don't let these rappers steal from the OG artists and sell it back. I know it sounds good! Of course it does, it was already a huge hit!!! Add Your New Review About The Song
