"Change the Game" is the second single from rapper Jay-Z from his 2000 album The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. It features guest raps by Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel, production from Rick Rock and backing vocals by Static Major. Upon release, the song's intention was to promote Sigel and Bleek, but Steve Juon of RapReviews.com considers Jay-Z to outperform both rappers. A music video directed by David Meyers was made for "Change the Game."
A remix to Change the Game features Bleek and Sigel, along with Tha Dogg Pound members Daz and Kurupt. The remix appears on The Professional 2 album by DJ Clue. It can also be found on Tha Dogg Pound compilation album 2002.

Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques (born 9 January 1973), known simply as Sean Paul, is a Jamaican dancehall ragga hip hop recording artist, musician, producer and actor.
Sean Paul was born in Kingston, Jamaica to parents Garth and Frances, both of whom were talented athletes. His mother is a well-known painter. His paternal grandfather had Sephardi Jewish ancestry, from a family that had emigrated from Portugal, and his paternal grandmother was Afro-Caribbean; his mother is of English and Chinese Jamaican descent. Sean Paul was raised as a Catholic, though aware that his grandfather came from an old respected Jamaican Jewish family. Many members of his family are swimmers. His grandfather was on the first Jamaican men's national water polo team. His father also played water polo for the team in the 1960s, and competed in long-distance swimming, while Sean Paul's mother was a backstroke swimmer. Sean Paul played for the national water polo team from the age of 13 to 21, when he gave up the sport in order to launch his musical career. He attended Wolmer's Boys' School and the College of Arts, Science, and Technology, now known as the University of Technology, where he was trained in commerce with an aim of pursuing an occupation in hotel management.
Hey yo we flip the script now the game done changed

Hey yo Sean Paul...bad mind waan see you pop down and drop down

Cause wi still don't love those....
Back bitters and dem wolf inna sheep clothes.
Still no love none a them hoes, still I got a lot fine ladies at my dispose.
Nothin' more need to disclose.
SP a di dapper ,bless with the best metaphors.
Them caan test all we ill flows.
That why all the fake ones dem getting' exposed.
I'm laughin' at these Johncrows,...When them encroach, mi shot them with a fresh dose.
Blow them up make them explode outta the cosmos, cause we a the utmost.
Cause we be keeping it live.
And we don't be talking that jive.

Cause we ever deh pon di campaign.

Platinum plaques and all the fame....We change the game.

Then dem woulda ask ..tell dem quickly dutty got the machinery
To chill nothin' nice than change up them scenery

Not a point of return there's no lookin' back
With my eyes on me gold and me Henny to the top
And me got Sean Paul and a sell some plaque..

And a gwaan like say dem waan bruk up the big up
Dem no love we lifestyle but we still a live it up

And a watch old school joints on Rap City
Kickin back and relax and a blaze a ziggy...
And the first draw she take she start move giggly
Me haffi wonder if da gal ya come from Tripoli
