Jay-Z “Brooklyn (Go Hard)” Video
This song is mediocre at best. The vocal sample in the beat gets very annoying and should of been cut out during the verses. Also the beat reminds me a little too much of “Swagger Like Us.” Lyrically Jay-Z has a couple good lines but his style on it just gets old and annoying. As for the video itself, the concept was interesting but could of been accomplished better, it just got real boring real quick.

Gotta agree to hate on this one also cause I said the same thing about the vocal sample during the verse. It’s annoying like trying to listen to two people talk at the same time. At the very least if they weren’t gonna cut it during the verse, they could have filtered it or something. Plus it’s the same formula as “Swagger Like Us”…..worked out great the first time, but come on the well is gonna go dry real quick with that (but I’m sure there will be 100 copycat joints with samples just like it)

In contrast with what I’m going to call my ‘common tone of voice’ in commenting on these threads I may have to play both sides this time …
YES, the vocal sample is tiring
BUT ..
after several listens i DO find it interesting that I started hearing what was being said as a musical loop rather than a lyrical loop.
I started tuning out the fact that there was someone actually speaking and it turned into interesting sounding noise instead.
and then I heard the words again and I had to agree with trilogy 100%.
I just hope they don’t sample the journey song with the lyric “don’t stop believing” as a hook or I’ll have to retire my ears back smashing my stapes with spork.
