Fort Minor: We Major, often known as We Major, is an official mixtape by American rapper Mike Shinoda's side-project Fort Minor, hosted by DJ Green Lantern (who also served as a mixer, producer and mixtape presenter). The mixtape was made as a warm-up/prequel to promote their first album The Rising Tied, and was first released on the internet as a free download.[1][2][3][4] It was released on October 30, 2005, through the Warner Bros. and Machine Shop record labels. A hard-copy compact disc was also released to members of the Fort Minor Street Team, and some participants of contests at that time. A limited edition of the mixtape was released in 2006 with a different cover art.

The mixtape's title is based on a rap song of the same name by Kanye West featuring Nas and Really Doe from West's second studio album, Late Registration. It may also be in reference to the lyric "You minor, we major" from "Shook Ones Pt. 2" by Mobb Deep. Executive production for the limited edition of the mixtape was handled by Jay-Z, credited as Shawn Carter on the cover.
