Jay-Z and Santogold 'Go Hard' for Brooklyn

jay-z-santogold.jpgAs if the world needed another Brooklyn anthem, here comes Jay-Z representing hard for his borough on "Brooklyn (Go Hard)." Featuring Santogold's well-recognized straining voice sampled well by producer Kanye West, this track will likely fare much better amongst the hipster crowd as opposed to the hug-the-block crowd that Jay-Z's fanbase was originally built upon. While I will always love Jigga, Santogold honestly hasn't impressed me since she debuted last year. Luckily, Jay's lyrics lend more griminess to a track that has echoes of futurism and will be on the upcoming Notorious soundtrack.

Not a big Jay-Z fan, but this sounds better than usual...my liking this probably has 99% to do with the beat, and 1% to do with Jay-Z's flow/Santo's sample

This song is not that good, i understand the whole different thing, but thats wack

Forch

I like the track - HOWEVER not everyone can pull of Jamaican twang. Just don't do it, this coming from a West Indian. It does not sound cool AT ALL.
