I Got That
"I Got That" is a single by American rapper Amil featuring American recording artist Beyoncé Knowles, who was at that time still a member Destiny's Child. Taken from Amil's debut studio album, All Money Is Legal (A. M. I. L.), the song serves as its second single which was released on July 4, 2000. "I Got That" is also the first single on which Knowles performs solo, that is, without the others members of Destiny's Child. The song is lyrically and thematically a female empowering one, with its message being that independent women do not need men to support them financially.
"I Got That" received generally positive reviews by music critics who favored the female-empowering lyrics, which according to them, made an effective melding with Knowles voice in the chorus of the song. Amil's abilities as a rapper were also highlighted and praised by critics. The song failed to make any impact on official the charts compiled by the Billboard magazine. "I Got That" only charted charting at number one on the US Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart, which is equivalent to number 101 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Darren Grant and Jay-Z. It features a cameo appearance by female rapper Eve. The video remained on Black Entertainment Television (BET)'s most played music videos for two weeks.
