"Can I Get A..." is a 1998 single by rapper Jay-Z that features Amil and Ja Rule. It was released on Def Jam's Rush Hour Soundtrack in promotion of the film Rush Hour, but also appears on Jay-Z's third album Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life. The song is produced by Irv Gotti and Lil' Rob. The song is notable for popularizing a young Amil and Ja Rule as well as becoming one of Jay-Z's most commercially successful released from him at that time, peaking at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The chorus of the original song starts with "Can I get a 'fuck you'," but was sanitized to "Can I get a 'what what'" for radio airplay.
