Adrock should have his own podcast. I'd listen to him just talk about bullshit for hours.
Agree. Since he doesn't do anything besides order chinese and watch TV--I love that--he definitely has the time.
heat4yoass Hitman?
The sky is high and shit
Mike Heyboer you sound really stupid. These jews put out one of the greatest hiphop albums ever in history. He is speaking as an artist you stupid fuk
juslostone relax. Jesus Christ!
Adam is the most real person ever, not trying to pander to young people. The Beastie Boys made their mark and they will never be replicated.
A lot of chart hip hop is terrible. Just slaves putting out mainstream music industry programming for the death cult.
Fucking legends
They need to be reciprocated.
@@chaddeez8446can't be
If you are around Ad Rock's age you understand everything he is saying. The 80's/90's were a different time. Incredible times!
I'm 18 and i wish i was in the 80s
“When did you stop recording music as the Beastie Boys?”
“About 2011-2012”
Damn.
R.I.P. Adam Yauch aka MCA
Rest in peace Adam Yauch. You were a genius and a great ambassador for peace.
I love what a non-sellout Ad-Rock is. So rare in the rap industry.
Rare in any industry.
Joey Baseball we live in a society
dave marnell seems like a genuinely cool guy
@@wc6046 ...and in this society we have an industry known as rap music.
@Sam D Looks like someone went and got all butt hurt over some fairly insignificant bullshit.
Man, AdRock. 50 years old , $75mill net worth, and he's still ordering Chinese take-out and eating spaghetti and meatball sandwiches. What a player.
Well he's got a great spaghetti sauce recipe ;)
philmstud2k too bad he's broke
philmstud2k Because take out Chinese and meatball subs are fucking delicious.
Jairon Thomas broke haha surely you jest...foh.
I doubt his net worth is 75 mill
“I find it strange musicians don’t make their own music”. Don’t we all.
It's never the artist that makes their own music anyways tho! It's the producers job to create what we hear over the radio👍
@@starrcompany3275 yeah producers carry most of these new rappers.
Man these dumbasses... Some fakers buy lyrics from guys like him to get famous. He got heaps of bars
No there are the far and few who do but they are what we call musicians
@@starrcompany3275 duh maybe now not in the 90s and all before
Really inspiring to see someone handle middle age so smoothly and confidently....this guy knows who he is..who he was..what he created and is completely comfortable in his skin...doesn't need to be insecure like most entertainers boasting of how influential the Beastie Boys were or the classic..."There would be no ____ without the Beastie Boys".....he just is cool...the people who really did shit don't have to brag about it....even letting the grey hair out..guy has such a youthful face he could still be playing the youth game but doesn't need to....inspiring to anyone getting older....this is how its done.
Chris Wylie you sound scared of growing up.
He's dead
😂
Many people like this, you just never met them yet.
Sean561 who is
AD Rock is real as hell. I could listen to him talk about this for hours.And... that argyle sweater is dope.
They weren’t trying to be hip hop.
They are Hip Hop.
Because it was all new and evolving, there were no rules.
They became, and helped build hip hop into what it is.
Who de fuq is da beastie boys
user_name_not_taken_ 1 😆😆😆
If you don’t know, your on the wrong thread.
No move along.
Yes until eminem is mentioned and then eminem is just a guest in hip hop, and even most recently, he needs to quit because he's white according to Azizz. Eminem had every part on building hip hop.as the beastie boys did.
Their most famous songs are rock/punk songs tho. And that’s the genre they liked the most.
Goddamn right.
Im 46 and still jamming Beastie Boys in 2019. I was lucky enough to see them in concert in Boulder Colorado 1992.
I saw them in 94 with Tribe Called Quest and Pharcyde. So glad I got to see them as well.
Lucky indeed
I saw them Manchester apollo with run DMC 87 I think also ll cool j public enemy big daddy kane Ice t de la soul happy days
Damn I was born in 92
What city?
Dude still looks youthful, hes the king ad rock that is his name and he knows the fly spot where they got the champagne!
😎😎😎😎
I had a big crush on him growing up🥴
I hope you got the answers, to the questions in your queries.
A lyrical musical genius is born every other day, ya feel me?
@Toti This dude was staring like he knows who we are
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar

ad rock is so chill it is unreal
+Sandra Larson He's so real, it's unreal.
Thats why hip hop is like it is now. Because pioneers are so chill. And will not expose any negativity of today culture. They are too classy to jump into that mud. And that is wise, even though not the best.
He's such an effortlessly cool guy. He's not putting on a gangsta front or trying to be hard.

You’re not an artist if you don’t do it yourself. You’re a performer. Artists are creative, performers do what they’re told.
never heard it put that way.
Truth!
Booooom!
You are an artist of performing
That you Kendrick?
Old white man with more swag than any rapper today
Most definitely
Can't even call those drugged out mumblers "rappers"...
@@HenritheHorse Yes, they sound like they have cocks in their mouth's when they mumble incoherent so called verses. But this is what makes money, so the investors could care less how bad they are!
Enought said !
Age and ethnicity don’t got nothing to do with someone’s soul.
"apps..? what am I 12..?" classic...
Ad Rock is such a chill dude lol Beastie Boys were awesome man
STILL ARE!
Still
“ARE”
Coolest dude on the planet. Youngsters take notes ! I feel what he’s saying because I’m 34 and it seems like it starts to happen close to 30. The feeling where you aren’t feeling the new music anymore your stuck loving the music from your high school and after school years. It’s crazy. You start to utter “songs from back in my day” are better. My parents were lucky enough to listen to them in high school I can only imagine how amazing that was.
I think Chris Rock said it best whatever music you listened to when you started having sex is the music you will love the rest of your life.
I feel that way about the music now, and I'm not even 18
I'm 34 too.. I can't stand the music now. The music during my HS is what I still listen too. Music now is gibberish. Garbage. So is the culture. But who cares what I think. They shouldn't.
Kids are rediscovering the beasties like crazy right now. And I’m here for it.
"License To Ill'' is one of the dopest albums ever!!
True shit.
Terry Turner
pauls boutique was nasty too
Good point!!
But then they became feminists and wouldn't play half the songs from that album, or would cut out lyrics or entire verses
HoyaSaxaSD Socially Conscious
"what am i gonna do, like, listen to new songs!? o.O"
i feel you brother
RockSteady I said it like it was the weirdest thing ever LMFAO
ADrock is totally down to earth... Great interview
He is actually racist against himself but that is different story.
This man is a hip hop legend. The Beasties are OG royalty.
Darrien, I love how the beastie boys never forgot their punk rock/hardcore roots, they were great rappers, but they could also pick up the instruments and belt out some hardcore tunes, there was no one like them.
Except The Roots
Its because they do rap and they add rock
kathy nix I always thought
BB were really really underrated
its amazing how at first they were considered a gimmick by hardcore hip hop. Now the beastie boys are considered true hard core old school hip hop artists by the headz.
+TroubleChizzy2010 amen.
they weren't forefathers, they were peers. BB are as old as the 1st gen of hiphop
Who ever considered them a gimick in hip-hop?.... They've been around before hip-hop was created (1979), they participated in creating hip-hop. You're just ignorantly typing b.s.
@@starmc26 hey soy boy I can almost guarantee you I know more about Hip-hop than you. And while the Beastie Boys have been around sine the late 70s they weren't always a hardcore hip-hop group. They developed that sound later on. They were a failed punk band who just wanted to try something new. And other MCs at the time didn't consider them as true rappers. There were thought of as pop music act. Which is part of the reason they went on tour with Madonna. They had to hone their skills to became a legit Hip-Hop group.
So stop being such a RUclips Karen and do some fucking research jackass.
@@Shinobi33 correct other than them being a failed punk band. They were opening for punk royalty like The Misfits, The Dead Kennedys, and the Bad Brains. They gave up a promising punk career to pursue a fusion of Hip-hop and Punk. Which honestly was 35-40 years ahead of its time seeing as how we now live in a time where genre-blending like this is common place
Ad Rock seems like one of the most genuine, cool dudes to hang out with. It's cool that he remains so "normal", despite his success. Props to this guy and thanks for making Jr High so fun and entertaining. Licensed To Ill got me through the awkwardness of moving to a new town and being 100% out of place. Not "feeling" out of place. "Being" out of place.
"I don't listen to Beastie Boys songs"
Hey, they're pretty good. Maybe give them a listen some time.
Listen to em all. Pioneers. They 1st to give public enemy world wide tour just ask Chuck D.
When Ad Rock said that, Ad Rock felt that.
He really is missing out on some crazy great music.
Definitely missing out go listen!!!😆
my first album license to ill on my 10th bday in 85
:)
Bet it was your 11th birthday.
too bad it didn't come out until late '86...did you have a time machine?
Licensed to Ill is the debut studio album by the American hip hop group Beastie Boys. It was released on November 15, 1986 by Def Jam and Columbia Records. It was the first rap LP to top the Billboard album chart. Wikipedia

Label: Def Jam Recordings

Nominations: World Music Award for World’s Best Album
Songs
cool actually mine too same age and everything, mine was a cassette though
you honestly deserve a prize.
paul's boutique is the best
I just watched a video called Every Sample on Paul's Boutique. It's pretty cool
@@jmpsthrufyre Very expensive album due to sample clearance. Last of its kind
@@BrockSampsonNA Were they paying for it back then? I thought the payment structure came later. But yeah, just Sounds of Science alone would have required a big check to the Beatles (or Michael Jackson). Check Your Head was weaker without the samples (especially that Hendrix thing), but by Ill Communication they figured out how to make it work. PB and IC are my favorite BB albums.
They all the BEST!
I didn't really like that one to much..
50 year old Mr. Horowitz, responding to 25 year old Ad-Rock: "Why are you yelling at everybody? Stop shouting."
I always put off seeing Beastie Boys live, then MCA passed. My biggest regret in life, real talk.
I had a big honor of seeing The Beasties Boys at VooDoo Fest, They kick ass, happy to see them LIVE.
Mark Grejda same here.
Saw them, no joke 9 times....last one in Central Park with the fukn Pastel Tux’s...impossible to see a better show...
MCA was my favorite of the 3.
Seen them at the The Fresh Festival in 84 & 85 in Baltimore
He's being very careful not to offend someone, because he actually thinks most musicians that do not write their own songs or do anything with making their own album (except for singing/rapping)... are rubbish, and not true musicians. And I agree with him.
*cough*DRAKE*cough*
Kyle Dieterich The Drake Equation.... cough cough,.. yeah... it's a good one ... ( #drake )
i hate it even when people dont write their own lyrics
All of my favorite musicians do that. Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Motörhead, Robert Johnson, Eminem, 2Pac and so on. Agree totally with Ad-Rock.
Beastie Boys also played guitars and drums on a lot of songs after Pauls Boutique. These guys were extremely talented and he is being pretty modest here. From programming beats on an 808 for License to Ill, to sampling a ton of great stuff on Pauls Boutique (Dust Brothers though doing the production and sampling), then going back to playing instruments on Check Your Head and Ill Communication. Ad Rock was being very modest and totally chill in this interview. It's cool that he is digging through old reggae.. There is so much great Reggae/Rocksteady/Ska from the 60s, 70s and 80s.. Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs and Desmond Dekker just to name a few (RIP)
Yes I love very much how Adam talks like a regular guy and also of fucking honest he is about everything.
What an absolutely professional class act AD Rock is.👍
Yeah but he didn't care
AD Rock is easily one of the most underrated mc's of all time, EASILY. Living legend.
Hold it now...
Hit it!
@@beandipss Yo Leroy!
Him and MCA, are easily in the top ten in my book... Maybe even top 5.
ari cohen their music was fantastic, but as lyricists or MCs, they are pretty inept writers.
RIP MCA
Mauricio Toscano Starsbless Yauch
Nothing but respect for this guy
✌🏿✋🏿
Remember he doesn't care
They were never trying to be hip hop.
But at the same time... they are hip hop.
Hippest hop
They are hip hop and so much more. They are their genre.
They started out punk and then fell in love with hip hop. They even learned to mix the two different sounds at times. But they mostly leaned more towards hip hop.
Their most famous songs are rock/punk songs tho. And that was their favorite genre
Word
1:51 "Apps? What, am I twelve?"
You're a Beastie Boy, not a Beastie Man.
Ad Rock is cool without even trying, trail blazers were the beastie boys
Truth, you speak.
Rab Mc too bad their music was artistically vacant and devoid of any depth at all.
jn6305 topkek
jn6305 too bad u suck at trolling
FaktFitness idiot
We need more pioneers on Sway
Amen
its been awhile yo
maybe MC serch, or big Daddy kane
What a true icon to the music industry! I couldn’t believe how humble and laid back he was, much respect for the beastie boys!
A rapper who doesn't write their own lyrics is like a comedian who doesn't write their own jokes. They're just puppets.
thats a damn great way to put it
You know it.
False
True
Beastie Boys didn’t write their own lyrics in the beginning. Run DMC wrote Slow & Low and Paul Revere.
Ad Rock has always been my favorite beastie boy, he had a unique voice and rocked it fearlessly
Ad Rock is so lovely. Always was and will be my favorite Beastie Boy.
Same. Totally rocked my world ever since Gratitude video.
This is an iconic interview, so much fun and Ad-Rock is as cool/funny as ever. Love the energy everyone brought. Bring this man back for another convo!
Ad Rock, I understand your feelings about being in a group from years ago and you feel people don't care, but that's a perspective from someone that was in the band. Trust me, people really care about The Beastie Boys. If you put out new or unreleased music, it would sell. You guys had millions of people that like your music and still do. I've managed record stores like Colony Music, Jeffrey Electronics in Crown Heights, and I've sold your records, and there were many many sales. Beastie Boys still and always matter!
I bought Hello Nasty a few years ago and listened to it occasionally, but it wasn't my taste at the time and not the B Boys that i drove my mom crazy with in 6th grade. So it sat out of rotation , until recently. I settled down and bought a house and after fixing it up, i needed a stereo for my fireplace chill room. I found a barely used Kenwood surround sound system from the 90s off of a guy with too much money who had just upgraded. Big 12 inch sub, center and 4 corners speakers (of which two were upgraded substantially), internal amp, 6ch/600W , etc. I tested it with my typical Outkast, 8 ball/MJG, and Luda songs and it was crazy. I put the BB in one day, and i FINALLY fucking got it!!!! My truck has a nice system, but if its not riding music, i don't listen. But in a home stereo you can REALLY hear the beauty of what they put together, and its literally as they described; a perfect assemnly of cuts of hours and hours of chilling in the studio and talking shit, having stoner jams, and excellent turntablism combined. I started asking my passengers "do you know who that is?" When the Biz skits come on and nobody gets it. I needed to mature a little to appreciate older works but its an amazing work, i am getting Paul's Boutique this week. So blah blah, i said that to tell you people still buy CD.
im 16. my dad introduced me to Beastie Boys the day MCA died. they have had such a profound impact on my life. i aspire to be a music producer and performer, and alot of the music i make is directly inspired by classic hip hop like Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, and others. People do care. I care. Beastie Boys gave me my purpose. they will live on forever.
The fact that young people don't embrace the old school and want to stay current is a blessing and a curse. You want to stay on the cutting edge but you don't want to forget where it all came from. But hip hop is extremely time sensitive. This is why old school rappers can't sell out a venue the way the Rolling Stones still can. I think that sums up Ad's point of view as well as Sway's question about hip hop being disposable.
roscoegino im 14 and listen to late 80s to 90s shit
Jawdn *highfives Jawdin*
roscoegino Well put !!! That was the same thing that I was thinking while listening to the interview .
Jawdn your a big minority
Rhyme Oddysey What do you mean? Why?
I love that the Beastie Boys never put on a fake accent and tried to sound black when they talk. And by trying to talk "black" I mean
...I think Eminem and Riff Raff try way too hard to sound black. And don't reply saying "how can someone talk black?" Don't be silly. Listen to this interview and then listen to a Riff Raff interview lol. Dude sounds like a black woman I know from Houston ; )
+soulCracka1 They are from NY and were part of hip hop's beginnings so they don't have anything to prove.
+Here to Offend Eminem wasn't raised around Black people. He grew up with White people and that's why his first demo was racist as phuk. His history was hidden until Benzino and the Source exposed him.
+Thuro F.A.R. Dumbass
MrBrenman21 What in the hell are you talking about? Eminem went to court to STOP the tapes from being released. Facts doesn't care about groupie fans unconditionally siding with their favorite rapper. Benzino in the Source exposed Eminem as a fraud and a racist but you mistook it for a popularity contest. I could give two shits about Benzino, Ja Rule or Eminem. I was only there for the truth not for a damn rap battle.
Agree with him 100%, I'd rather give some undiscovered old music a chance than listen to anything post-2000
benno291980 same
Kendrick Lamar j cole?
@@charlesderosas5577 You do realize those two wouldn't have really stuck out much pre-2000's rite? They're Hot now. Because people have finally started to get tired of the dumbed down shit. That's always pushed down everyone's throat. Hiphop was created by and for people to who used their brains. One of the main elements of hiphop is Knowledge. But nobody on the radio is reminding their fans of this.
Can't say anything Kendrik or Jcole has done would compete with the top stuff that came before. I was born 90. At 14 I was going back and listening to bbn stuff from when I was 4.
The best songs from those artists sounds like stuff from back then lol
@@the_gratefulgamer Knowledge Rules Supremely Over Nearly Everyone
"I always find it strange that musicians don't make their own music." Such a great statement. The Mix-Up is an amazing record. Beasties don't get all the credit they deserve on the instrumental side of things, aside from the die hard fans.
at 4:44 when he says "i find it strange that musicians don't make their own music" he pretty much fry's every ignorant rapper that usually comes to this (and other) radio shows.
more people need to find this strange. let's bring (non software-based) instruments back into hip hop
Darrien Day they still wont make their own shit. Just hire somebody else to produce.
Imarjai i know. as long as people keep consuming it as is, people won't see any reason to change and already-working formula. sucks but maybe it'll change. probs not though haha
Darrien Day Dj Quik does. Dre does. Anybody else idk...
Quentin Banks that's true. but even those people could do more. i'd like to hear less software-based sounds and more tangible instrumentation like The Breaks
Darrien Day good idea. all the good stuff is underground now
Ad Rock is telling it real about Hip Hop. Newer Hip Hop fans don't even really care about the music of Public Enemy, N.W.A., (despite the film, they won't actually sit down and sincerely listen to "Straight Outta Compton" or "Niggaz4Life") or De La Soul.
And hes right about us older folks not really caring about the newer stuff.
And why should they? Because you say so? Aint no law against preference. But there sure is a distaste for ignorance. Based, lmao, on a like of your own lol
i agree, but its sad
GritsnBeans There was never an auto-tune, it was about lyrics and beats. Not what ever Trap BS beat was trendy and the undecipherable rhymes. Atleast we had rhymes to party, empower and degrade... Life music, now it's a bunch of lyrics I can't understand and when I can it's a bunch of bullshit that most of us can't relate to. My diamonds, my car and my champagne...
CannyBill CB Man, it has nothing to do with preference. When I listen to music I want to go somewhere else either musically or lyrically and when the music is the same old same and I can't understand the lyrics through the effects, that is not a preference. That means all you're hearing is the pulse of the beat. Name me one of the "hottest" MC's out there right now, with radio play, where you feel comfortable standing next to, as far as feel for what they're saying...
I straight up love them boys. Been listening to them since 87. My mom got me into them with the license to Ill album. I got hooked and been buying their records ever since. Seen them twice in concert in Atlanta GA. R.I.P. MCA Y'ALL ARE ALL LEGENDS
I saw them twice as well.. both times at Lakewood (94 & 98).. the show in '98 was really amazing.. good memories.
That caller was right; when Intergalactic comes on at the club 🔥🔥🔥
I'm with AD, the old stuff is better and there is so much undiscovered old music worth listening to moreso than today's music....
lol21432 yes there is so much undiscovered old music, but the same applies to new music.
Lol sway really said "really?" To him saying rappers should write their own songs and make their own beats
Because sampling has always been part of hip hop.
Huh??? He's not talking about sampling. He's talking about writing your own rhymes. Pauls Boutique was non stop samples, it set the bar for sampling. He isn't talking about sampling, he's talking about ghostwriters and people rapping over beats that already been used. Damn man, study your history. if any album defines the art of sampling, it's Pauls Boutique.
Write their own songs and make your their own record covers
@Luvon Griffin i get what you're sayin, but i think he meant set the bar as in they brought it to public eye. Not sayin that they created it or anything.
@Bastardz Alley u just come across as ignorant. White this black that. Get ur mind right, theyre giving credits where its due no matter who did what first to pioneer the way.
We've been blessed to have grown up listening to the pioneers of rap... The rap legends like NWA, Beastie Boys, Run DMC...👍🏻👊🏻😎
No Grandmaster Flash or Sugarhill gang?
I'm 49 and this brought me back.I still love hip hop but the beasties,P.E and so many others laid the foundation,much respect
"Why am I yelling at everybody?" Hi-la-ri-ous! xoxo The Clarences
God,.. these guys are Legends. Most Chillinest B-Boy. . MCA,Ad Rock,and Mike-D."The Beastie Boys". My era of hip hop was the shit
Grew up in the 90's but my older brother blasted them so I grew loving them. Just started reading their book and its fascinating!!!
No rapper should ignore Public Enemy. They are vital to the history of the artform and everyone should learn from their style and more importantly, the depth of their message
Learning about Hip Hop/Rap/etc without learning about Public Enemy and other artists of the past is like trying to learn the English language without learning about the alphabet and grammar, the fundamentals. Without the fundamentals you end up sounding like a blabbering fool
DUDES NOT LYING, I AM DELICIOUS!!!

Very cool interview Adam was awesome one of the best interviews I have ever heard
Thank you for giving props to Chuck D and Jungle Bros. Yes, I've got those first two albums on record and tape!
Respect to AD-Rock no question Beastie Boys are Hip Hop Pioneers/Legends! It sucks that Hip Hop Legends just get tossed aside and basically mocked when they get OLD. While Madonna old ass can still tour and do Super Bowl Halftime Shows and all that stuff and people are happy to see her. I don't think that is the way it should be, I think that needs to CHANGE! If these young Rappers knew about the legends before it would make them try HARDER! Stuff like Ice T Documentary "The Art Of Rap" we need more stuff like that
im 16 and i listen to old rap :)

What Kind?
And by what kind I mean, Gangsta Rap, Hardcore Rap etc.
Cesar Gonzalez doesnt matter. i love the beastie boys but i love big l, all of nwa. eminem, public enemy, immortal technique, biggie, and others,
AD Rock is a intuitive man. I like his no lie way of saying things and keeping it cool. I agree with all of what he said.
I cannot wrap my head around him being 48... I saw them in 99 probably one of the best concerts I ever went to. They put on an amazing show.
Well you gotta remember he would've been 28 then, right?
Adam has become the Jon Stewart of hip hop.
hahaha that's hilarious dude.

i miss the old days with colbert and jon. the new guys kinda suck. jon oliver is the only good one now but hes only on once a week. and hes like a watered down version of them both he makes fun of people like colbert but dosent have that "fuck these guys im better" attitude. and he calls out the bullshit like stewert but not in the complete "beyond a reasonable doubt" way jon would when proving fox news in nothing but a puppet show . i know this really isnt the video to be posting this on and nobody reads youtube comments this long but im wired off a shit load of free coke and just hadda share my opinion. it took me like an hour to condense all my thoughts about this into a structured statement between picking the biggest pionts i wanted to make then remembering them then going off on a rant in my mind and trying to work that in aswell so if youve read this far i appreciate it. basically what im tryina say is 3 grams of coke goes for $300 so just sell if and buy a bottle for next weeks party istead of doing it all becose then you end up doing shit like this.

Caalamus 😂😄😄😄👌🏼👍🏼
Real jews live in Brooklyin, Mahatten an North Jersey!
Beastie Boys = true legends and pioneers.
And still one of the best concerts I have ever been to 🤘.
R.I.P. MCA - legends never die.
Adam introduced me personally to "The Goats" at a concert in San Antonio Beasties played with House of Pain and L7
i asked him what he was listening to at that time in the early 90s. RIP MCA i had the honor of meeting him and Everlast
kris Rodriguez that was at Randy’s ballroom. That was such a crazy show.
I'll bet that was amazing!!
Beastie Boys were my superheroes back in the days.
Hello Nasty is the first album I ever bought and I'm pretty damn proud about that.

What a great interview and what a modest guy he is, fucking legend man, really hope the unreleased stuff comes out
Adrock is my favorite b boy. Hes a legend!
Boss!!! Saw them live in May 1987 with Run DMC in Amsterdam! Brilliant! I was 18 and hooked for life!!! Respect!!!
Oh man, THIS RIGHT HERE was a great interview. It's hard for me to even smile. This kept me smiling the entire time. Maybe it's because I'm 46.
It's true about that generational gap, look how many teenagers on Twitter had no idea who Paul McCartney was or why he was appearing on a record with Kanye and Rihanna.
Too true jonnyboyxx. I remember seeing loads of internet posts around the time of that collabo saying what a genius Kanye was for always finding "new talent" and also how this "McCartney guy" could have a successful future etc....Pretty hilarious shit actually.
so sad
They were all trolling to get a reaction.
Chris they might have been trolling but it's a true statement. most of Rihanna's fan have no clue who those guys are.
I don't know. You'd have to live in a hole not to know about the BBs, but then, I guess some people do.
Here's what I perceive. Ad Rock, Adam Horovitz, worked hard and never got lazy about what he was doing. He immediately capitalized on his brand and stuck with it. It worked extremely well for him. What differentiates him from less successful attendantes what his work ethic and recognition of what he had. I could be better about that myself.
I was raised in a household that listened to classic rock, folk, goth, punk, but NOT hip hop. I was 10 years old the first time I saw the video for Sabotage. It was the crossover I needed. My sister loved it, and it paved the way to open a door for me into the world of hip hop. Well, between that and putting two 10s in my car when I turned 16. I don't care who you are, if you put subs in your car, it's only a matter of time before you find you need something to bump...
I grew up on classic rock, Mo-Town, Funk, and some of the early 2000's pop-rock. one of my sisters listened to a lot of the modern stuff of the time, stuff like Fall Out Boy and N'Sync/Justin Timberlake. But she always had Beastie Boys with her no matter what phase she was in.

This was a damn good show, and it's because AdRock was such a good guest. Truly kickass guy! Genuine and REAL.
Love his honesty!
Deeper convo than i expected - thanks for sharing
This is a DOPE interview!!!
true, I'm 50 and stuck in the 1970's and 1980's music. i don't listen to anything passed 1995 that's just me.
Lenny Lenn I’m 49. I am a little bit the same way. Most of the newer artists nowadays I won’t listen to, because it’s soul-less, talentless garbage. It’s just somebody trying to make a quick buck. Not saying that all current artists suck ( some are actually good ). Imagine if Beastie Boys came along today and put out ‘ license to I’ll ‘. They would put everybody in music out of business. Seriously.
32 am stuck with 90's rap and rock and roll and stuff especially Bon Jovi I love Bon Jovi and Freddie mercury, but today's music is just trash luckily we got some good guys, loving Kendrick lamar and Mac Demarco
Music is very generational for the most part. We have what I like to call eras. Mine is mid to late 90's/ early 2000s Rock and Rap. My moms was 50s/60s Rock (Elvis), my dad was like you (70s/80s)(Bread, CCR, Eagles)
Yes, there was a drop-off of overall awesomeness by the end of the 20th century. Rock music had a drop-off and then by 2010 rap had a drop-off
You should really consider Wu Tang forever double album.. came out in 97'...
I perfectly understand the point about not listening to new music (although I actually do). I love, from time to time to dig in the past and rediscover bands that, for some reason, I overlooked. I've recently spent a lot of time, for example, on Nine Inch Nails and, yes, on the Beastie Boys.
I love the saxophones at the start. Brass Monkey.Beastie Boys had classic samples and there own original samples that put with it. Man they can play instruments as well. Hip Hop God's along with P. E. Ice T. Eric B and Rakim. They were just all good at putting words together. Intricate. 😎😎😎😎
Love the Beastie boys! I grew up on them, RUN-DMC< Whoodini, GMF. The baby years of hip-hop when it wasn't regarded as a true form of music and not expected to last. Ad Rock is funny, love this dudes personality!
Very cool to be honest like that....but that's his perspective. I am late 30's and I love finding new music along with playing past music. Like, last year I found Flatbush Zombies and I'm so greatful that I did. I buy one album a month of new artist just to stay current and keep up with what's fresh. But hip hop is very current and trendy, that's why a lot of it doesn't hold up through the years, but some of it does. I totally agree that if you're 20, you shouldn't care what the past generations have done. You're a suppose to want to be rebellious and destroy the last.
Jason Downs I'm 39 and I listen old and new shit. You right, there are so many new young cats making really good contemporary hiphop music. I just think older generations are over rating their glorious pasts a little.
AdRock is a legit funny person
This guy is so humble it's heartwarming to watch. He could be arrogant if he wanted to and it would be fine but he's just happy to be recognized. Awesome 👌
