"Hollywood" is the fourth single from one of Jay-Z's solo albums, Kingdom Come. The song features Jay-Z's wife, R&B singer Beyoncé. The song was set for release in March 2007. The song is also featured on the deluxe edition of Beyoncé's B'Day with more of Beyoncé's vocals and less of Jay-Z's under the title "Welcome to Hollywood". With an original release date of February 2007, the release date of this has been repeatedly pushed back probably due to Beyonce's duet with Shakira "Beautiful Liar" being released at the same time as "Hollywood". However the single was cancelled as a single. The single was supposed to be released in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2007, but plans were later scrapped.

[edit] Music video

A video for Jay-Z's album version does not exist but an official video was created for "Welcome to Hollywood" using clips of different Beyoncé videos (much like the "Lose My Breath" megamix on the Destiny's Child Fan Pack II). The video is played as an interlude on Beyoncé's B'Day Tour, The Beyoncé Experience.
