"03 Bonnie & Clyde" is a song recorded by American rapper Jay-Z featuring American R&B singer Beyoncé. It was composed by Shawn Carter, Kanye West, Prince, Tupac Shakur, Darryl Harper, Ricky Rouse and Tyrone Wrice for Jay-Z's seventh studio album ''The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse'' (2002). The song was released as the album's lead single on October 10, 2002. A East Coast hip hop and R&B song, "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" sampled its beat from American rapper Tupac Shakur's 1996 song "Me and My Girlfriend", and was inspired by the crime film ''Bonnie and Clyde''. The instrumentation is based on programmed drums, bass instruments, and a flamenco guitar. "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" was generally received with favorable reviews by music critics, who complimented the combination of Jay-Z's and Beyoncé'ss musical styles, their collaboration and the song's production. The single reached number four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Jay-Z's second top ten single and Beyoncé'ss first as a solo artist. It charted at number two in the United Kingdom and peaked in the top twenty in other European territories. "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). The accompanying music video was directed by Chris Robinson, and features Jay-Z and Beyoncé playing a modern-day version of the 1920s bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. It was nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" spawned a feud with American recording artist Toni Braxton, who had also sampled "Me and My Girlfriend" in her 2002 song "Me & My Boyfriend". She accused West and Jay-Z of stealing the idea of using the song as a sample, which was later denied by both of them. "03 Bonnie & Clyde" was performed by Jay-Z and Beyoncé on several television shows and was later included on the set list of their concert performances and tours, most notably on their co-headlining On the Run Tour (2014). ==Production and release== "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" marked the first collaboration between rapper Jay-Z and R&B singer Beyoncé. While listening to Shakur's ''The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory'', producer Kanye West suggested that American rapper Tupac Shakur's song "Me and My Girlfriend" would make a good sample to use on Jay-Z's duet with Beyoncé. West told MTV News that Jay-Z had asked him on the telephone for a duet for him and Beyoncé: "We got this joint, it has to be the best beat you ever made."〔 He continued:
Tensions arose during the conception of "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" over the sampling of "Me and My Girlfriend.〔 Senior Vice President of A&R Tina Davis commented on the issue, "We only had one day to clear the (Shakur ) sample ('Me and my Girlfriend' ) that was used on '03 Bonnie and Clyde' last year with Jay-Z and Beyoncé (). We were back and forth with Afeni Shakur all day until we got the clearance. And then it's a hit." "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" was released on October 10, 2002, as the lead single from Jay-Z's album ''The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse''. Beyoncé later included the song as a bonus track on international editions of her 2003 debut solo album ''Dangerously in Love''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='03 Bonnie & Clyde )〕 In 2003, ''Now That's What I Call Music!'' included "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" as the opening track of the 12th volume of the US release and the fifteenth track of the 54th volume of the UK release.〔 The song's release was the first indication of Jay-Z's and Beyoncé's romantic status, spawning rumors about a burgeoning relationship. Their relationship was not made public until Jay-Z featured on Beyoncé's songs "Crazy In Love" (2003) and "Déjà Vu" (2006).〔 It was later announced that they had been dating since recording "'03 Bonnie & Clyde". The latter's release also marked the debut of the solo career of Beyoncé, leaving Destiny's Child on hiatus.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「'03 Bonnie & Clyde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
