Anybody hear the new Jay Z/Beyonce song?

New song is called "Me and My Girlfriend" Beyonce sings a line from "If I was Your Girlfriend". The lyrics are changed a bit and as expected, she sounds terrible.

Ths song's called 'Bonnie & Clyde' the first single from Jay-Z's The Blueprint 2 - The Gift and the Curse due out Nov. 12th.

This song actually borrows from Tupac's "Me and My Girlfriend" which borrowed from Prince's "If I Was Your Girlfriend".

How exactly did 2Pac's "Me And My Girlfriend" borrow from Prince's "If I Was Your Girlfriend"??

It doesn't, I was wrong. Jay-Z must have just added in the Prince lyrics to this one.

I heard it and Beyonce doesn't do justice to it. I know that Toni Braxton is mad because her first single has the same beat as Jay Z's song. Jay Z actually stole it from Toni.

No actually Jay-Z and Toni through Irv Gotti(Murder Inc) stole it from 2Pac.

Damn, everbody's just stealing from everybody. The Jay-z and Beyonce song was so-so, IMO. The line that Beyonce butchered from If I was Your Girlfriend sounded out of place and just plain strange. hrmph

Actually the song is "03 Bonnie and Clyde."
It surprises me how Jay and Foxy were Bonnie and Clyde, now he got Beyonce as his new Bonnie. He's a good rapper, but not a very good friend--according to Foxy.
And the Toni song 'Me and My Boyfriend" was set to be the second single.
The 1st single from More Than A Woman is the Neptunes producer "Hit The Freeway."
Personally, if I were her, would just drop the song from the cd. It's gonna be the exact same song. She has time it comes out next month.
