Excuse Me Miss Again

Recorded in March 2003 at Baseline Recording Studios in New York City and Master Sound Studios in Virginia Beach with The Neptunes. Chad Hugo later described the session as a high-energy follow-up to "Excuse Me Miss." The track was released as the sequel to "Excuse Me Miss," first appearing as the lead bonus track on Blueprint 2.1 before also serving as a single tied to the Bad Boys II soundtrack. It was noted as a darker reworking of the original and reached No. 37 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart even though it missed the Billboard Hot 100. "Excuse Me Miss Again" remains the best-known sequel to one of Jay-Z’s biggest early-2000s singles, and it has continued to circulate through the Bad Boys II soundtrack and later Jay-Z song rankings. Its Neptunes production and hard-edged update to the original made it a durable album-cut favorite.
