I posted the live version a while back. Here is the studio version. Niceness from the Might Mos Def to start your day
MOS DEF - Brooklyn (Go Hard) Freestyle [CDQ]
from the good people @ herfection
Every so often you need to cleanse your pallet. Consider this a remedy for your beef weary ears. I wish that Mos would take a break from movies and just go on a G-Unit circa pre Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ mixtape/internet terror campaign. Just go grab a J. Arms How To Be An MC instrumental CD and start blasting us with verses to get heads on the right track. Mos, the game needs you.
Until then you all can enjoy a heater from one of Brooklyn’s favorite son’s.

The doctor said its going to take 3 weeks of recovery
But the nurses is loving me
Saying the best part of the day is my half
Feeding me breakfast and giving me a sponge bath
N*&^@s say I died dead in them street
N*&^@ I’m getting high, getting head on the beach
Chillin! Sitting on about half a million
With all my n*&^*, all my guns, all my women

I am nervous about this movie. This is one of the biggest figures in Hip Hop. This joint HAS to be right. That said. Whatever I feel is nothing compared to what the filmmakers feel. The pressure is serious. I will be there in the theater. In honor of the Big, here is a couple joints. The verse above is taken from Mister Cee’s Classic tribute mixtape. Here is the double disc edition for you along with some other hot joints. Now throw some ice up for the nicest MC.

“I’m a Brooklyn boy/I may take some getting used to.” - Jay Z
With the Notorious movie coming out this week, Brooklyn has been heavy on my mind lately. I lived in Brooklyn for about a year and I loved it. There is a special energy there. The minute I arrived I felt like I was home.The fierce pride that people claim that spot is just like Boston. The same hard headed swagger that we don’t give a fuck where you from. The serious island influence that is on every corner. Carnival in Brooklyn is like no other. Brooklyn reminded me of home.
Jay Z decided to hold his man Big down with a tribute to the borough for the Notorious soundtrack. Once that beat was in the street you had to know Brooklyn was coming out. Fab jumped on the track. Then a couple of days ago Mos rocked a verse on it at a show. Here is all three.
Sidenote: Now if we can get MOP on this it would be SERIOUS!!!!
