That B.I.G. biopic Notorious will have an OST likely dominated by Biggie Smalls cuts, especially since his estate is so creepily enamored with the project, but here’s at least one track for the collection from some of Brooklyn’s other residents. The Jay-Z fight song, titled “Brooklyn (We Go Hard)” (or less the “We” depending on which corner of Google you ask) gets its title from the intro line to Santogold’s “Shove It,” which is sampled here and surrounded by some cavernous and dramatic, “Jesus Walks”-style Kanye production. Jigga starts the fight song with taunts to “test my Stuy” in a Carribean patois, big ups Bigs throughout, and BK-transplant (and recent Kanye tourmate) Santi adds chants to the hook, represents Bed-Stuy in the last verse. Listen up:
Notorious will see release 1/16 via Fox Searchlight.

Black hoodie rap, sweet double entendre. Almost at the level of “Common Sense/ Common since”
maybe worse than swagger like us. at least this is shorter.
why is santogold the most exiting part of this song? wow
i dont know if id like it as much if i didnt live in brooklyn, but because i do i will enjoy singing this pretty often in the near future
the song is hot.
a) worst Santogold sample ever
b) why would he make the title of the songs the line Santi sings.
Jigga is just lacking
You should Hear Dirty Dama’s verse to this!! SICK!!!
I wish Nas was still fueding with Jay-Z. Nas would dominate him with this effort.
I don’t think that’s possible since Jigga SAVED Nas’ career. Nas’ could top this, no doubt, but if it wasn’t for Jay-Z…….

Yes, you too can own the Apple Software “Rap Like A Has-Been Millionaire 2: GarageBand Edition” for a mere 99.85. Tilted Emcee graffitti hat included if you call right now!
Yall who hate this are either ppl who dont know anything about hip hop or just like that deep southern rap stuff
it’s better if idiots like you said less. i’m ashamed that hip-hop has been commercialized to the point where verses are just as simple as ABABAB. this is garbage, but you know, Jay-Z always has been about the money, only the money. So, hey, it’s what it is…
