Jay-Z feat Santogold – Brooklyn Go Hard

Even though the verdict might still be out on Kanye’s latest project, Mr. West proves that at least his production game is still top notch. Ye flips Santogold’s “Brooklyn we go hard” line from her song” Shove It,” to perfection, topped off with a dub beat, which I didn’t even think Kanye could mess with. And of course, the “retired” MC is still better than most so-called rappers even when he phones it in, which he does here. Unfortunately, this will renew the Santogold vs. MIA rumors that plague the internet. Which hipster female had the best hook on a Kanye-produced track? That’s up for internet nerds to debate. Until then, enjoy the music. “Brooklyn Go Hard,” is going to be on the Notorious soundtrack which drops on January 16th.

    Jay still got skills and that beat Kanye produced is MAD DOPE , but his protege Dirty DaMa has the sickest verse on that track.

    [...] Jay Z – Brooklyn go hard Jay Z and Santogold on the same ticket. Now there’s something you just don’t see that much. Why? Not sure – but there should be more. Ulysses (Black Apache remix) – Franz Ferdinand The Glaswegian indie-pop gods get the once-over from Black Apache.I could say it takes a remix for me to listen to Franz these days, but that would be mean. Who’d’ve Known (demo) – Lily Allen She’s back! I hope Doc’s happy. Breezily wandering through life’s most ubiquitous melodrama: the love story. [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band

5/5

This joint right here is real sexy-like.  Your body will automatically go into autopilot:  your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed).  The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
