You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Girls, Girls, Girls'''" is the second single from rapper [[Jay-Z]]'s album ''[[The Blueprint]]'' (2001). The single was released on October 2, 2001. It is a playful description of the artist's promiscuous lifestyle. The song contains a sample of "There's Nothing In This World That Can Stop Me From Loving You" by [[Tom Brock (singer)|Tom Brock]], who died a year later. The chorus features a lyrical interpolation of "High Power Rap" by [[Crash Crew]]. The song has additional vocals sung by [[Q-Tip (rapper)|Q-Tip]], [[Slick Rick]] and [[Biz Markie]], but they are not credited as featured guests on the back artwork; they are, however, credited in the album's liner notes.

A remix of the song produced by [[Kanye West]] can be found as a hidden track on ''The Blueprint'' after the songs "Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)" and the other hidden song "Lyrical Exercise". The remix is composed of new verses by Jay-Z, a new instrumental sampling "Trying Girls Out" by [[The Persuaders (R&B group)|The Persuaders]] and uncredited vocals from [[Michael Jackson]] and [[Chante Moore]]. [[Just Blaze]] originally produced the song for [[Ghostface Killah]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yatx-oI7oo4 :50]</ref>

==Music video==
The video (directed by [[Marc Klasfeld]]) was filmed in September 2001 in [[Los Angeles, California]]. Jay-Z stated in a 2011 interview that he was in Los Angeles preparing for the shoot when the [[September 11 terrorist attacks]] took place:
((quote|1=I flew to L.A. I was shooting a video for a song called 'Girls, Girls, Girls,'" he began. "I'd dropped my album The Blueprint on the same day. And I just remember waking up in LA and thinking everybody was playing, like 'That can't be,' then turning on the TV and it looked like something from one of those apocalyptic movies.|2=Jay-Z, in a 2011 interview with Hiphopdx.com<ref>((cite web|author=NadeskaAlexis |url=http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.16867/title.jay-z-shares-911-memories-dropping-the-blueprint |title=Jay-Z Shares 9/11 Memories, Dropping "The Blueprint" |publisher=HipHopDX |date=2011-09-14 |access-date=2016-04-29))</ref>))

Actresses [[Carmen Electra]], [[Tamala Jones]], and [[Paula Jai Parker]], all make cameo appearances in the song's music video. [[Damon Dash]], Biz Markie, and Kanye West also make brief appearances in the video.

Jay-Z wore the [[Mitchell & Ness]] 1947 [[Washington Redskins]] jersey of [[Pro Football Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] quarterback [[Sammy Baugh]] as well as a 1982 [[San Diego Padres]] jersey. This increased demand for the throwback jersey and renewed popular awareness of Baugh.<ref>((cite news | first=Darrenn| last=Rovell| title=Old-school is new again| date=2003-02-06| work=[[ESPN.com]] | url =http://espn.go.com/sportsbusiness/s/2003/0206/1504983.html| access-date = 2012-07-19 ))</ref>
