Track made for the collab album by Jay Z and Kanye West in 2011, "Watch the Throne". Was supposed to be the 4th song in order on the album. Sadly never got released due to copyright issues, even though Will Ferrell himself gave his blessings. One of the holy grails of Kanye's unreleased discography. Little known fact is that the language spoken by the sample is not Italian, it's Spanish, which Kanye did not realize at the time. That or it was named Livin So Italian anyway as it reuses Jay Z's verses from his 12th studio album; "Magna Carta Holy Grail" for the song "FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt", according to the/one of the producers of this song, Karlyle.

The whole sample that they couldn't get ok'd is from Andrea Bocelli's 1995 song, "Por Ti Volaré". The actual sample though is the Spanish version, "Con te partirò". The actual Kanye and Jay Z song was leaked partially from May 2019 to November 2023. Has multiple different names with "Livin So Italian" being the most popular, but its also reffered to as "Italian Living", "Like the Mob", and "So Italian".

Big shout out to "son", aka Doras Bando on Soundcloud. He is the one who added the Will Ferrel edit at the beginning and the other stuff, I just am uploading here as its the best version to me. Check him out here, he has insanely underated edits. I would include a link but I don't know if Rumble will let me, so here is a code you can put in Base 64 to decode and get the link to their channel.
