"Things That U Do" is the second single from rapper Jay-Z's 1999 album Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. It features guest vocals by Mariah Carey and a beat produced by Swizz Beatz. AllMusic's John Bush describes it as an "overblown production,"[1] while Steve Juon of RapReviews.com considers it a "commercially aimed song" that "still sounds fresh and original."[2] It was neither heavily promoted nor released as a CD single, causing it to chart lowly.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor John Bush described this song's production is "overblown."[3] Rolling Stone's Kris Ex wrote: "Far be it from me to question Allah's wisdom," he (Jay Z) rhymes on the Mariah Carey-assisted, Swizz Beatz-produced "Things That U Do." "I dodged prison, came out unscathed from car collisions/I know I must be part of some mission."[4]
