About The Record:

Money Ain't a Thang, by Jermaine Dupri, is a vinyl maxi-single centered around the boastful hip-hop track featuring Jay-Z. This release includes multiple versions of the song, such as radio edits, instrumentals, and a cappella tracks, making it a collector's item for DJs and fans of late-90s remixes. A unique fact is that the title appears as "Money Ain't a Thing" specifically on the vinyl pressing, differing from the standard spelling used on albums and other formats. The lead track stands out for its collaboration bridging Southern and East Coast rap styles during a period of regional divides in hip-hop, and it samples Steve Arrington's funk classic Weak at the Knees. Money Ain't a Thang became a fan-favorite anthem celebrating luxury and excess, earning a Grammy nomination, and it achieved hit status by peaking at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100.
