"Horse & Carriage" is the lead single from
Cam'ron's debut album, Confessions of Fire. It was released through Untertainment and
Epic Records. The song was produced by
Trackmasters and Cam'ron's childhood friend
Mase was featured on the song's hook.
Background
The song narrowly missed the top 40 of the
Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 41. It also was a top 10 hit on both the R&B and rap charts, peaking at number nine on both charts. "Horse & Carriage" was the most successful of the three singles released from the album as the two follow-up singles failed to make an impact on the charts. A remix was also released featuring
Big Pun,
Charli Baltimore,
Silkk the Shocker and
Wyclef Jean. It was produced by Darrell "Digga" Branch and sampled the opening theme to the 1980s TV series Night Court.
Music video
The video, directed by
Lance Rivera, picks up right after the video 357. Cam'ron and Mase escape the subway and get into their cars. Cam'ron goes to the club and raps the song and ends the video with a pool scene. The video features cameos from
Jim Jones,
Styles P, Wyclef Jean,
N.O.R.E.,
Funkmaster Flex,
Charli Baltimore,
DJ Clue, Silkk the Shocker,
Cormega,
Canibus and
50 Cent. Though Mase is featured on the song he is not in the video due to wanting to be paid which Cam'ron refused to do since they were close friends.
