The legendary duo of Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey (man it's gonna take awhile to stop calling him Mos Def) gave us a taste of their upcoming Aretha mixtape around Thanksgiving times with "You Already Knew." Last night, they kicked 2012 off right with a Late Night With Jimmy Fallon performance during which they rocked not only that song live with The Roots but also - hold onto your damn hats, hardcore fans - "Little Brother," a J Dilla-produced cut that only appeared on the soundtrack to the movie The Hurricane.
Watch both performances below, along with a little vignette of Roots drummer / DJ / vinyl master Questlove discussing the origin of "Little Brother" and how he was in the room when Dilla made the beat for it. Classic stuff, you guys.
