Video: Jay-Z – No Sleep Till Brooklyn (Beastie Boys Cover) + Blueprint 3 Intro
I’ll let YN explain this one because I wasn’t even born when this came out:
In a stirring opener on par with his Oasis shocker at Glastonbury, Hov paid tribute to MCA and the Beastie Boys (who he replaced on this show) with a remake of a classic from Licensed To Ill. It was a cover performance Hip Hop Honors wish they could have. Ha! Good job, Hov. Hey Village Voice, he was listening.
The tribute is followed by Jay-Z’s Brooklyn (We Go Hard.) After the jump, Jay handles Run This Town for dolo, as well as getting into a newly “tweaked” version of the Blueprint 3 intro.

all the bullshit in the game only thing they wanna kill is fuckin’ auto-tune, but before you gun it down, know they only say Hip-Hop is dead because all the dope shit is underground
Wow.

^ damn, that’s not what i meant…
frankly i’m not familiar with the Beastie Boys catalog like that, so I don’t know the relevance of this song or the impact it had when it dropped, or if it still has any relevance. I’m not gonna pretend like I know the words to No Sleep Till Brooklyn or that i could have recognized it when he started playing it
there are other songs or artists that dropped before i was around that i can potentially be an authority on though

Hov ability to interact with the crowd makes him better than kanye peforming..
then again. kanye dosent talk to the crowd and can still have a stadium going ape shit singing “Stronger”

>> Not tryna sound obsessed or nothin like that
nah you do but the basis is by the time i finished the Jay post it was 3 am and my eyes couldn’t look at the screen any longer. so i said fuck it because i wasn’t trying to entertain all the fuckery and all the jokes then. when i went to sleep it was a joke on Twitter, i wake up and every site has it up. that’s cool though, it’s expected
if i don’t post, you guys don’t get informed and think i’m hiding something (he was a Trending Topic on Twitter by then… there’s nothing to hide) if i do post it’s almost not even worth a post and i’m the one who’s obsessed with his every move, posting his tweets and his boys tweets ensuring you he’s alright
it’s too late to do anything now. i posted the MTV piece in Lite because it covers the slip + the tweets better than any hearsay other websites are using
you think this is what i blog for: http://nahright.com/news/2009/08/01/pics-jay-z-at-all-points-west/#comment-2150932
