In July 2001, Jennifer Lopez'southward' number ane album J.Lo (2001) was reissued with a Murder Inc remix of one of its original singles, "I'm Existent". The R&B murder remix of "I'm Real" was written by Ja Rule, who as well features on the track.[2] According to Rule, he initially was "just f[uck]ing around" with the track later on Lopez'southward team gave it to him to remix, just it turned out to be "a hell of a record". This version was successful, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for several weeks. Information technology also helped J.Lo to render to the pinnacle x of the The states Billboard 200 album chart. The vocal immune Lopez to crossover from Pop to R&B. Rule said this put her in "another zone" and her fans aren't "gonna desire the pop version of J. Lo no more, they gonna want the 'I'1000 Existent' version".[ii] The rapper enjoyed working with Lopez and called it a "real collaboration" because he actually worked with her in the studio.[iii] The success of "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" lead him to brainstorm working on a new version of "Own't it Funny" the following August,[ii] which would afterward be appear as the lead single to J.Lo 's remix album, J to tha 50–O! The Remixes, in December 2001.[4]

Writing and production [edit]

Rooney explained: "We had changed the sound of Jennifer Lopez [with "I'chiliad Existent"] and we didn't take anything else on the [J.Lo] album nosotros could release as a single. Nosotros had to do another remix to keep the momentum going."[5] And then-upcoming artist Ashanti dropped past Irv Gotti's studio in New York. She recalled: "Everyone was in that location and Ja [Rule] was on the flooring playing video games, and they had the beat playing in the groundwork. Chris Gotti, Irv Gotti'due south brother, said 'Ja's supposed to be writing this tape for J-Lo, just it doesn't wait like he'south going to exist doing anything tonight. Why don't you become in there and see what's happening?' So that's exactly what I did." Ashanti wrote two verses and recorded a demo for the new version of "Own't It Funny" for Lopez.[5] Gotti and 7 flew out to Los Angeles on September 10, 2001, to record the song with Lopez. The song was due to be recorded the post-obit 24-hour interval, just was postponed due to the September 11 attacks.[v] When piece of work resumed on the song, Gotti called Ashanti from Los Angeles request her to write another verse for the song. She recalled: "I had to write it over the phone and two-way Irv the lyrics."[five]

Composition and critical response [edit]

"Ain't it Funny (Murder Remix)" is a hip hop song with a elapsing of three minutes and twoscore-nine seconds (3:49).[vi] [vii] It is thematically dissimilar to the original track.[eight] While he was working towards the remix, Ja Rule boasted "I'm most to f--- ya'll up," stating that the vocal's sampling of Craig Mack'south "Flava In Ya Ear" would be "remixed" and "vamped up crazy". He said "Information technology'south totally not J. Lo."[2] Over the reworking of the "Flava In Ya Ear" beat, Lopez sings about "a boyfriend who keeps messing upwardly," while Rule and Cadillac Tah "drop rhymes" on the track.[9] Rule raps that he's "Off the wall like MJ in his early days," which is a reference to Michael Jackson's album Off the Wall (1979). The rapper also says "Oh I, never been a sucker for chocha," chocha meaning pussy, the slang term for vagina. He continues on to say that people "want" him after they run across him "workin' with money," meaning working with Lopez.[10]

While reviewing the original "Own't It Funny", Billboard'due south Chuck Taylor said of the remix release, "Sony has got to exist kidding, calling information technology "Ain't information technology Funny" when not 1 note of it is held in common with the original.
