Where I'm From

As she watches General Hospital on DVR (another story for another day), I tend to check work emails and play on the internet. One of my favorite things to do is to read blogs, look at stuff that I can't afford, and listen to music.

One of the blogs that I ended up on is "The Real Fort Greene" blog, and I read a post called "The Soundtrack of Fort Greene". I commented on what songs I thought should be in the soundtrack. She suggested that we do one for Bed Stuy.

Here's a list of songs that remind us of living in Bed Stuy:

Any song by Mos Def reminds me of Brooklyn, I mean the dude mentions Brooklyn/Bed Stuy in just about every song that I've ever heard from him. I tried to find the original, but the only video that I could find is a remix. I also had my favorite Jay Z track before...well we all know.

Hey, I like your list, and I know absolutely nothing about hip-hop whatsoever, but what about Lighters Up by Lil Kim? That's my Brooklyn tune.
