    Seriously! and dude isn't even from Brooklyn.

    I won't front though, if he made music that was really good I'd probally be on some "DON'T HATT YOU HATTERS!".

    Personally, I am excited to finally find out whether Mos or Memph is the better lyricist.

    Too close to call???

    To be fair, Premier ain't from Brooklyn either...
    They could have at least tried to get some decent rappers on this though.

    Word..Mos is cool, not a fan but I do enjoy singles here and there. Jean Grae, never really heard anything that I liked by her aside from her early stuff (What What). Memph Bleek, c'mon dogs....he's a notch above "Drag-On" or somebody.

    so who should the next 3-man Brooklyn lineup be?

    I propose MOP and GZA. And since the producer apparently doesn't need to come from said borough, let's put DJ Quick on the beat.
