Jay-Z just put out his latest Ode to BK with this song "Brooklyn (We Go Hard)" which is slated to appear on the the upcoming Notorious soundtrack. I'm just as critical of modern day Hova as the next man, but I've got no qualms with this one. Adding Santi for the assist was definitely a good look as well. Miss White has been on her grind.

    Okayplayer post alot of off artists sometimes and I have no problem with this but i really think Ice Cube’s album Raw Footage deserved some shine on this site. One of the best albums of this year!

  • cla

    what does Cube have to do with this post? (I have no probs w/ Cube- Amerikka’s is top 20 classics). This beat is ill.

  • Mick Shousky

    I was just saying it, it was on my mind

  • Alexei

    Dope.

    Much respect to both Jay and Kanye!

  • uni-u

    nice but no S. L. U.

  • “A”

    a bit S.L.U., but still tight!!!

  • Raw B

    Why is trying to sound like wheezy at the beginning? I dont know about this track. Jay – Z used to get the best beats, now they are all subpar. Spend that doe on some good producers Hov, and come original.

  • Nick the Renown Beat Critic

    this shit is hot son!!!

  • radishes

    best hov shit i’ve heard in a long time

  • NDogg

    This shit is hot!

  • Lang1027

    This joint is on point. Jay Z strays but always maintains a connection with the reall hip-hop world. That’s why he’s on top of the game.

  • Shaun P

    I dont think hov was tryna sound like weezy, he was tryna get that Patwah accent down, which Brooklyn is known for.

  • HH-City

    This one is so damn hot. And Santo makes it perfect. And the beat!! This is what the Kanye album should sound like, but okay, if the next Jay-Album sounds like this, I’m okay with it…

  • HH-City

    And by the way: I think he tries to sound like borat;)

  • Augusts1

    He used a sample of Santogold’s ‘Shove It’ which is an incredible song off her self titled album, if you want to hear some true innovation. Great he’s giving her the nod by using her song & having her sing too. Liking this!

  • Yaudie.Com

    Thats just how the rap game is … evrybody rubs off on eachother …. especially the one on top. Maybe they find it more difficult to say fresh.

    StayUpBeUp!!

    Kanye must have dun this beat the same afternoon he did Swagger Like Us….u feel me?

  • jo jonson

    what a waste of time

  • keondra.

    i’m hella biased because i LOVE the santogold album (hell, everything that she’s done – res, stiffed, gza etc…) but i really think it lacked creativity. i think it could have been done way better. i hope diplo gives it a whirl. that could be mad decent ;)

    k.

  • BK TO VA

    Real HipHop is a BEAUTIFUL THING
    THIS TRACK IS ON CRAZY
    Even if you don’t like Jay you got to respect his skill
    and with all these wack artist, it’s a breath of fresh air. Cubes album is hott so is Black Milk’s album and Luda’s Album is Bannas from track 1 to the End

    BROOKLYN!!!
    BUSHWICK PJ’S!!!

  • c”mac27

    on point !!! nuff said!!!

  • Pharaohcious

    The song hits and is what the hip hop game over there on the East needed. He threw in that little rasta dialect in there in the beginning. Thats not titled sounding like Weezy. Wayne does righ tby it but thats not “his” steelo.

  • corey brewer

    REal shit

  • stizz

    anyone know what the musical sample is from? The santi sample is just that vocal sample, correct? That musical sample isn’t from that song took, is it?

  • Anthony Strayhorn

    Can someone post the link for the song. I keep getting an error every time I attempt to download it. Not sure what the problem is.

  • Norty

    Any1 know what song Kanye sampled NOT THE VOCAL sample, but the loop that comes in only on the chorus :09 – :30..
    it sounds so familiar to me but i can’t put my finger on it..
