Catalog Catch Up: Mya & Jay-Z’s “Best Of Me (Remix)”

Here’s the deal. Have there been better R&B songs? Of course, without question. Have their been better rap verses on R&B songs? One could definitely state their case; Method Man and Mary J. probably winning the hearts and ears of most asked that question. But do I have another R&B/rap record that I favor more than Mya and Jay-Z’s “Best Of Me.” Nope.



Jay’s been a happily married man for years now and recently added the title of “proud papa” to his long list of titles. Yet, contrary to popular belief, there was a point in time where Shawn Carter roamed the streets as a free man with the luxury to speak on whatever he pleased with the fairer sex. That said, it’s the reason why these lyrics are the reason why they will forever remain one of the most quotable from Jigga’s historic catalog.

So ma get it together or forget it forever
When I go at you hard I can get it through leather
You actin’ like Jigga can’t get at whoever
Talking you got a man, okay ma…and?
That’s high school making me chase you around for months
Have an affair act like an adult for once


Seeing as how the weekend is upon and check out time is only hours away, allow Mya and Hov’s duet to be added to your 48-hour of ecstasy plaits (that’s the weekend, FTR). You probably haven’t listened to it in awhile, and even if you have, it’s not like you’d skip it anyway. This is classic Mya, but more importantly, it’s classic Jay-Z. What more could you ask for?
