Mike D

Michael Diamond, better known as Mike D (born November 20, 1965), is a founding member of New York City hip hop group the Beastie Boys. Mike D raps, sings, and plays drums.

Biography

Diamond was born in New York City to a rich Jewish household. He attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York for six months. In 1979, Diamond co-founded the band The Young Aborigines. In 1981, Adam Yauch, aka MCA, a friend and follower of the band, became their bass player, and on the suggestion of their then-guitar player, John Berry, the band changed their name to the Beastie Boys. By 1983, Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) joined, and their sound began to shift away from punk to hip hop.

In 1992, Mike D founded the Beastie Boys' now-defunct record label Grand Royal Records. He is also interested in interior decoration, and designed Brooklyn-themed toile wallpaper; it was used in the renovation of the Marquee nightclub in Chelsea, which reopened in January 2013.

    Too Hott

    by: Mike D

    [talking]
    R.I.P., uh to the P-A-T, we love you baby
    We gon miss you
    [Ronnie Spencer]
    P-A-T, rest in peace baby
    Everybody knows, it wasn't your time to go
    [Mr. 3-2]
    Much love and we'll never forget you, P-A-T
    Now you in a better place, with G-O-D
    The deep memories, won't stop going through my mind
    Wishing we could parlay, just one more time
    It make a G start crying, just like lil' baby
    To see his partna come on, heart goes to the T. Lady
    And the rest of your family, especially Lil' Fat Pat fool
    So rest in peace my partna, and that's from Mr. 3-2
    [C-Note]
    I never thought I had to write this song, for P-A-T
    We gon miss you playa while you gone, you went I'm all alone
    Staring at the memories, in the back of my mind
    Comparing all the miseries, trapped in time
    And in this rhyme ain't enough lines, to explain how I feel
    We gon miss you P-A-T, my partna kept it real
    And this whole ordeal, is worth more than it seems
    Like a worst nightmare, living our ghetto dreams
    [Hook: Big Moe]
    These streets are too hot, too hot baby
    These streets are hot, hot, hot
    We gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade
    Too hot, too hot lately
    Too many my partnas, gone to early graves
    [Lil' O]
    You couldn't understand my mind's, on a whole nother level
    I'm in the church every Sunday, trying to dodge the devil
    I'm a rebel, with a worthy cause
    I'm trying to shine, in a world that wants to see me crawl
    That's why it hurts, that Fat Pat had to take a fall
    It ain't fair, but we gotta keep our faith in God
    Took in his prime such a vicious crime, we been robbed
    I'll fulfill your ghetto dreams Lil' O gon ball, he'd want that
    [Al-D]
    Bet your mama tears trying to get us, see God got eyes
    You can't give a man life, so why you gon take a man out
    P-A-T, S.U.C., gon make that dream come true
    Worldwide on the map, dedicated to you
    And Lord knows we gon miss you, ain't no fronting or faking
    At least now you ain't gotta see, all this hating
    Much love homie, from the whole H-Town
    You brought peace to the Click, and it's gon still go down
    [Hook: Big Moe]
    [Clay-Doe]
    We won't stop, but baby you was so close to the top
    I couldn't wait for you to drop, so we could body rock
    But our God, is a jealous one
    And when he wanna kick it with you, time will get done
    It was just like yesterday, we was making Screws
    And to tell you the truth, you got the whole world raising roof
    And to my G's before I pass, you never know
    Mash for your paper, your homie Clay-Doe, P-A-T
    [Big Pokey]
    We was just getting off of dancing, body rocking the stage
    I done turned the damn page, seen the hurts and the gauge
    Trunks pop tops drop, wide body on colors
    Laid back on butter, watch my 18's stutter
    I confess I'm a mess, so much pain in my chest
    Wanna test my beef threats, hole put you to rest
    F-A no way, I could ever forget
    Put your tape in the deck, and bounce bounce to it
    [Hook: Big Moe]
    [Mike D]
    Ain't no way in hell, I'ma deal with that
    You took all of me, when you took Mr. Fat Pat
    Took the body that we see, but his soul is in me
    I'ma live his ghetto dreams, through Lil' P-A-T
    Southside to the playas, don't die
    Only multiply, with paper in our eye
    And don't worry baby, I'ma keep all this under control
    But I miss getting blowed thoed, in the studio
    [Willean]
    Living in this ghetto, while days are getting shorter
    Reminiscing bout my partna, make the pain even harder
    The time that we spent, getting bent paying dues
    Dusk to dawn, into the morn' making Screws
    On the cool, we gotta use it as a stepping stone
    And really think, who the ones they stepping on
    Like a throne you'll be known, as a living legend
    Fat Pat rest in peace, cause all G's go to heaven
    [Hook: Big Moe]
    [Lil' Keke]
    I'm too hot to drop, you marks must of forgot
    I've been blessed with success, it ain't no taking my spot
    Fakers plot ands scheme, but I'm living they dream
    P-A-T and Lil' Ke, the real Freestyle Kings
    We use to take it up break it up, on screwed up dubs
    Body rocking Southside, hands up in the club
    But I still got love, and I'ma complete the mission
    Rest in peace, from the whole Commission
    [Big Steve]
    F-A-T, you was the realest to me
    And ain't nobody, stopping what was meant to be
    See all your ghetto dreams, is gonna come to life
    I'ma keep you in my prayers, everyday and every night
    Affiliated playas, gots to keep shocking
    And Mr. Grand Papi, gon keep they body rocking
    Open up they eyes, so the world could see
    The Southside's, gonna keep grinding for you P-A-T
    [Hook: Big Moe]
    [H.A.W.K.]
    Picture me rolling, from coca beaming Southside holding
    So clean four 18's, knocking all side molding
    Can't stand it can't handle it, I'm hurting god damn it
    Of these niggaz crew ways, on this bullshit planet
    Called Earth since birth, the things that we been through
    Rest assure through me, your ghetto dreams'll come true
    Never knew it would happen, it was at least state of shock
    But as long as I'm here, they gon still body rock
    You don't stop Wreckshop, we gon still drop top
    Neon lights at night, when the damn trunks pop
    Bounce bounce to this, you will certainly be missed
    As I sit back and reminisce, with our kin folk Chris
    I hear your voice in the wind, as the nights get colder
    Lil' Pat and the family, they gon ride on my shoulder
    I told you it's before, and that's the way it's gon be
    Bro I love you dream of you, forever P-A-T
    [Hook: Big Moe]
    [Ronnie Spencer]
    And I'm talking bout the Southside
    Stop killing eachother, baby
    Yeah, well well well, oh-oooh-oh-oooh-oh-oooh
    Well well, thou shall not kill baby, yeah
    Oooooooh-oooh
    [Big Moe]
    Get up on your grind, and the people stop hating
