omg, I can't believe you started the Beastie Boys, brings back a lot of memories License to Ill is the first cassette tape I ever bought when I was 12, this song isn't from that album, but I bought this Album as well, pretty much the whole Album is great from License to Ill, just some that are great No Sleep till Brooklyn, Slow and Low, Paul Revere, Rhymin and Stealin , and that is just a short list I remember listening to it all the time on my walkman, they have that energy, and their funny as hell as well.....and yeah I'm old...cassettes, and even when younger plenty of whole album's/records, and the 45's...lol, when I was real young, 8 tracks my parents had, and my mother had my sister and I recorded singing on a reel to reel...lmao
They weren’t the pioneers at all. What are you smoking? They definitely helped bring hip hop into mainstream, you obviously know nothing about the history of hip hop and you should just keep your mouth shut next time
@@Brashnir they changed it once, they brought punk and alternative with a fusion of hip hop. The first time, run dmc already did it. You’re ignorant to the history of hip hop
@@JennRighter I personally think the Beastie Boys are the best group of all time but if any group is above them it would have to be the WU...... lets be honest
The connections between Beastie Boys and Public Enemy run deep. Beastie Boys were the first group to take Public Enemy on tour, back in 1987. 2012 Chuck D helped inaugurate them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Beastie Boys were at the forefront of hip hop. They are the reason LLCoolJ got a recording contract. They are part of the foundation of hip hop. Mad respect.
Facts, I've just gone down the reaction rabbit hole for BB. Licence to I'll was my first cassette I ever bought. Side note; I still rock a vintage misfits T. I'm 47, sooo. 🤘🏻❤️🔥
The Beastie Boys were the group that transitioned rap from mostly an urban, minority fan base to the general public. Unfortunately a lot of white boys weren’t ready for it yet. I was one of them! Their first album came out when I was 24. Until about three years ago I had heard of them but that’s it. Now I’m so glad they got popular with YT reactors because it’s opened up their whole playlist to me.
"I think I'm losing my mind this time, this time I'm losing my mind...." Who said that? The Beastie Boys said it. Others may have copied it, but its their line.
Beastie Boys opened for Madonna “like a Virgin” Tour, when they were still a unknown band. I had front row and loved them but most of the audience were confused
The beastie boys were way before public enemy. I'm 47 and was jamming to them in junior high. Loved them then, and still jam to them to this day!! So far ahead of their time. Love your guys channel
She said “I can’t believe you never heard this” and he said “I grew up as a hip hop head” 😂🤣 Beastie Boys are one of the highest selling hip hop groups of all time. They’re the first hip hop group to have a #1 record on the charts. They’re one of just a handful of hip hop artists to be in the rock n roll hall of fame. They are massively popular and They ARE hip hop.
Its a complete different hiphop scene though, if you grew up with de la soul, atcq and transitioned to wu tang, biggie, mobb deep and all gangster rap I can completely see how you would have missed them
@@jacobsvensson8193 I disagree that Beastie Boys were a different scene than ATCQ and De La Soul. In 1996 ATCQ were huge, and they were opening act for Beastie Boys that year. The Beastie Boys were headlining arenas and Tribe opened for them. Q-Tip was rhyming on Beastie records, Beastie’s rhymed on a De La record. They were not at all different scenes than Tribe and De La. what you mean? When Beastie out on Tibetan Freedom concerts Tribe performed at them. Those groups were close. I can understand if you said Beastie was a different scene than Wu or NWA or whatever. But De la and Tribe??? Nah.
@@panrick I know Q Tip was on a Beastie track, didn't know that they had a collab with De La Soul though, but I meant more their style of hiphop, you can't compare anything on Licensed To Ill, Check Your Head or Ill Communication with De La or ATCQ's style of hiphop
@@jacobsvensson8193 I don't know man, if you grew up listening to hip hop in the 90s, saying you never heard any Beastie songs is like being a Rock'n'roll fan in the 1970s saying they never heard of Led Zeppelin. Or its the equivalent of saying you're a hip hop fan but you never heard a Tribe song. I'm not saying everybody was a fan of Beastie Boys but they were HUGE, literally everyone I knew listened to them, their music was played at every house party I went to. MTV played them all the time, they played all the biggest music festivals at the time. They were everywhere, and so was Tribe and De La, and Mobb Deep and Biggie and so on. It just seems weird to me to say you never listened to them. But I ain't judging you, we are all living different lives and on different paths. It's cool. it just blows my mind.
@@panrick I didn't grow up listening to hiphop in the 90's, I was 8 when the century ended, but when the fuck did I ever say I never heard a beastie boys song? I've heard all their albums multiple times and at least 20 live performances
Public Enemy used to open for the Beastie boys in concerts. It's great watching these reactions. Making me learn more and more about the music I grew up too.
Beastie Boys are pioneers of Hip Hop. FACT! Check out Beastie Boys "Get It Together" featuring Q-Tip. Misfits may be a tough band for you guys to enjoy. But you never know!?
Listened to that on repeat so many times. At least a couple hundred times in early college. I introduced it to people that just didn't know and became bigger fans than I was.
1:30 I can name one other reaction channel of a lovely woman who's worn a Misfits tee, but you're the first one i've seen who actually _knows_ that they're an iconic punk band! Brings joy to my lil punk heart lmao i'd love to see misfits reactions and maybe some Bad Brains???!!
Bad Brains "Sacred Love", "I Against I", and ANYTHING BANNED IN DC ERA! No one else can go from Hardcore Punk to Reggie and make it flow like the Bad Brains... Love HR!
@@bobvylan7215 I knpw punk before green day like dead Kennedy's, Attic, black flag, and the females 7 year bitch jawbreaker, babes in toy land sonic youth Throwing muses. Rancid. I did however love Slayer's punk album covering all the great songs can't forget the movie the rejected had flea in it when he was so young But had cool soundtract
@@jenifermartin247 I got to see Nirvana, Jawbreaker and Babes in Toyland open up for the Ramones in 1991. The Year Punk Broke tour, something like that. Caught another one in Georgia I just remember Jawbreaker and the Ramones from that one.

Lol came here to write exactly this. Who said that? They said that, thats how influential they were. You knew it because of how huge they were without knowing where it comes from
He tells the story at the Beastie Boys indiction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He steps up to the mic about 13 minutes in & does the Induction speech & tells how they gave him his start.
Ok Jai you guys need to really go off course and listen to Ministry....New World Order or Type o negative black #1 or Christian woman body of christ..if you want to stir it up a bit...
This song closed down my favorite club back in the day. Every night it was the last song and you knew it was time to leave. But everybody was on the floor!
I find it AWESOME that BB's are finally being recognized for their genius and ability! [BTW: it sounds old school because it's actually old school]; BB are OGOG!
Hey y'all (yes I'm Southern 🤣, I say y'all) Quick heads up for when you do "Sabatoge." It's like a little movie. It was directed by Spike Jonez & it's a parody of the 1970's cop shows. It's hilarious!! 🤣🎵
In about 1983 they switched from punk to hip hop after meeting Rick Rubin and their sound, attitude and look was influenced heavily by Run DMC, rather than earlier groups that took influence from glam and disco, like Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash. Chuck D credits them with kick starting Public enemy’s career and LL Cool J, and Rakim have stated the Beasties were instrumental in solidifying Hip Hop as a genre. Eminem has said he wouldn’t be around without them and borrowed their License to Ill album cover for one of his records. Questlove has said that their instrument use directly influenced the Roots. They’ve been there since the beginning and they never tried to be “black”, they did their own thing in their own way but they’ve always stayed true to the core of what Hip Hop is.
I've always had a special relationship with RUN DMC and Beastie Boys! We're all the same age and from NYC. I've been down with their music since 1983 to the present day. We share a lot in common because we're from the same generation. Both bands also toured with my frat bruthas FISHBONE! So this shit is deep! Beastie Boys are one of my all-time favorite hip-hop groups. They're possibly the funkiest white dudes in music history! PAUL'S BOUTIQUE is the serious joint! However, I have to strongly disagree with you about them not acting "Black"! They used to wear doo rags on their heads and Puma sweats, along with the Puma Clydes with the fat laces. It was Russell Simmons who told them that doing "Black Face" wasn't necessary for white rappers! Just be yourselves. And I agree that the Beastie Boys always kept it real and never embarrassed Black people by never imitating a jigaboo impersonation! They're great ambassadors of rap music! But, by being white rappers who were rhyming on the mic to funky music that was created by Black American people and their culture, they were already essentially acting like they were Black! They had to sound funky and carry a certain swagger like the Black rappers that inspired them and which they were emulating.
Beastie Boys were there for the beginning of both hip hop and hardcore punk. They're literally OG's in two massively influential genres, as their earliest music was Lower East Side hardcore punk. They even named their group to have the same initials as Bad Brains, their idols. Bad Brains were a group of black Rasta dudes from DC that were basically the inventors of hardcore punk, and they also incorporated reggae into their sound early as well as heavy groove rock later in their tenure. Now there's a whole nother rabbit hole, digging into Bad Brains.
Brass Monkey, Sabotage, Intergalactic, and there best, No Sleep Til' Brooklyn....Just some of there greatest hits. Beasties where the s#!t back in the day...You stepped on a landmine, now...🔥

Y’all gotta do this song. It was waxed in the 1990s but remastered in the 2000s. They use an animal call in the song and have a crazy intermission mid song that will knock off your socks. 😂 B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak (Remastered 2009)
I feel ya. 46. my daughter who is 25 now. got to grow up listening to all variety's of music. Paul revere is one of her fav's. any time we are were there is karaoke. party's what ever. we'll grab a mic and do paul revere and blows her friends away, A. cause they never heard it. B. she knows every line. C. Her dad does two.
I’m 51, and remember buying License To Ill on cassette when I was 17. We wore out the tape jamming to it at work! I went from these guys straight to NWA, and Public Enemy. But, around 1987 I was introduced to the music of Sir Mix-a-Lot. The album Swass is pretty cool, specially the single Posse On Broadway.
Your physical behavior alone honors and appreciates the cool shit enough. Actually, I don't need your verbal comments - it's just fun to see you celebrate it! Honest, authentic and full of enjoyment.
Hope I left same comment long ago but still feeding algorithms; "what'cha want" coming outta Jai's mouth every time Half said it look involuntary everytime!, And that's why I think those boys wrote it.
One thing you got to understand about the Beasties, they loved what they were doing and were always self depracating. Probably spelled that wrong, but they were always making fun of themselves in their videos.
just saw the Misfits perform back in sept, with original members Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only. an event i never thought i would get to see in my lifetime, talk about a diverse crowd of people!
Beastie Boys are the only band I know of who started playing hardcore punk and ended up morphing into a rap group. They still play punk songs, they'll usually have one or two punk or rock songs on each album. PLEASE check out their punk cover of Sly and the Family Stone's song TIME FOR LIVIN, which is on the same album as SO WHATCHA WANT
I had a rough day, but then I know I've got Half & Jai to pick me up, and you guys happened to do a song that you can't help but smile when listening to!! Thank you both!
The Misfits were amazing. The Lead singer was Glen Danzig and later in his life he denounced his involvement with the band.. But they were so influential.
Public Enemy used to open for the Beastie Boys and they are the ones that gave LL Cool Js tape to the label which is what got him signed. You should watch Chuck D and LL induct the Beasties into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 by Chuck D and LL Cool J. You should check that out because you'll learn exactly where their place was in hip hop's history by what Chuck D and LL say about them.
Public Enemy opened up for the Beastie Boys on their 1st headlining Tour. If you want to see how iconic the Beastie Boys were watch their induction into the Roxk n Roll Hall of fame see who put some in there
HEYYY......MISFITS!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice Jai!! You're making me nostalgic, I might have to go dig out my skateboard and give myself a Mohawk..lol Shake Your Rump, not literally, unless you two want to 😊, ..Beastie Boys song that is sooooo under rated, it's off Paul's Boutique, it's a track that back in the day, really upped the bar for sampling, mixing in everyday sounds, and whole different tempos in one song. Great reaction, as usual!! ✌️❤️️
I grew up in the city so this is VIBES of the time and it holds up. They are street. I consider this the moment before true stoop rap. They started as a punk band but looked up to RUN DMC so much they switched gears
I was always been into Punk and Metal growing up in the 80's but what got me into hip hop as well were The Beastie Boy's and Run DMC because of the Rock and Rap connection.
Yupp,, Absolutely more Beastie Boys ! Pioneers, Legends, Icons of Hip Hop ! So good to see reactors getting to experience them.

They weren't just a part of hip-hop, they were pioneers.
They changed the game. Twice.

@@Brashnir they changed it once, they brought punk and alternative with a fusion of hip hop. The first time, run dmc already did it. You’re ignorant to the history of hip hop

But, by being white rappers who were rhyming on the mic to funky music that was created by Black American people and their culture, they were already essentially acting like they were Black! They had to sound funky and carry a certain swagger like the Black rappers that inspired them and which they were emulating.
Three MC's and one DJ, its a Beastie classic and the video is cool too!
Beastie Boys were there for the beginning of both hip hop and hardcore punk. They're literally OG's in two massively influential genres, as their earliest music was Lower East Side hardcore punk. They even named their group to have the same initials as Bad Brains, their idols. Bad Brains were a group of black Rasta dudes from DC that were basically the inventors of hardcore punk, and they also incorporated reggae into their sound early as well as heavy groove rock later in their tenure. Now there's a whole nother rabbit hole, digging into Bad Brains.
Beastie Boys: 3 MCs & 1 DJ is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Like Ohio Players Fire.
Brass Monkey, Sabotage, Intergalactic, and there best, No Sleep Til' Brooklyn....Just some of there greatest hits. Beasties where the s#!t back in the day...You stepped on a landmine, now...🔥

Y’all gotta do this song. It was waxed in the 1990s but remastered in the 2000s. They use an animal call in the song and have a crazy intermission mid song that will knock off your socks. 😂 B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak (Remastered 2009)
"If this goin' be that kinda party... something.. something... mashed potatoes!!!" -Archer, the tv show Gave a shout out to that song
Love the Misfits shirt! Theyve been around since 77 if I remember right. Still goin hard! Beastie boys are lit too! 😊
MISFITS!!! RIP Cliff Burton.... he used to always wear MISFITS shirts... I can't believe it's been 35 years! just a side note
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻😭😭💔💔💔 Cliff is forever missed , no doubt
This reaction makes me feel so old as a 45 year old!😂
I feel ya. 46. my daughter who is 25 now. got to grow up listening to all variety's of music. Paul revere is one of her fav's. any time we are were there is karaoke. party's what ever. we'll grab a mic and do paul revere and blows her friends away, A. cause they never heard it. B. she knows every line. C. Her dad does two.
I’m 51, and remember buying License To Ill on cassette when I was 17. We wore out the tape jamming to it at work! I went from these guys straight to NWA, and Public Enemy. But, around 1987 I was introduced to the music of Sir Mix-a-Lot. The album Swass is pretty cool, specially the single Posse On Broadway.
Your physical behavior alone honors and appreciates the cool shit enough. Actually, I don't need your verbal comments - it's just fun to see you celebrate it! Honest, authentic and full of enjoyment.
Gotta love the Beastie boys. Love yall
Hope I left same comment long ago but still feeding algorithms; "what'cha want" coming outta Jai's mouth every time Half said it look involuntary everytime!, And that's why I think those boys wrote it.
One thing you got to understand about the Beasties, they loved what they were doing and were always self depracating. Probably spelled that wrong, but they were always making fun of themselves in their videos.
There is a huge reason they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and you are listening to it.
Please! react to Beastie Boys "Root Down"
just saw the Misfits perform back in sept, with original members Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only. an event i never thought i would get to see in my lifetime, talk about a diverse crowd of people!
MF DOOM
I'm just gonna leave it at that
Mm Food
This takes me back to the days of Boomboxes on the shoulder and clocks hanging from the neck!!!!
Man, Misfits takes me back to high school in the 80s.
Beastie boys legendary Rip Adam 🙏🙏
The Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 ....They are hip hop legends!! Just so you know!!
Rap you were meant to dance to.
""Dance, I said."
They helped public enemy get a name. The line is theirs. So prolific NWA sampled them for their first album.
Yes!!! Do Misfits and Danzig! AstroZombies, Last Caress, Mother, Where Eagles Dare...
Was lucky enough to see them live 4 times ( last time was the book tour) truly are THE Beatles of Hip Hop!!!
Beastie Boy's N Run Dmc live in tampa in like '87 I think. was AWESOME
Pretty sure they were asked to not return do to the giant dancing blow up phalace they brought to the stage.
Sick of it All, agnostic Front, and biohazard
Rarely see hardcore suggestions. That's nice
Or maybe Cro Mags We Gotta Know video
And Warzone...
Beastie Boys are the only band I know of who started playing hardcore punk and ended up morphing into a rap group. They still play punk songs, they'll usually have one or two punk or rock songs on each album. PLEASE check out their punk cover of Sly and the Family Stone's song TIME FOR LIVIN, which is on the same album as SO WHATCHA WANT
It sounds like Public Enemy pulled heavily from this song.
I had a rough day, but then I know I've got Half & Jai to pick me up, and you guys happened to do a song that you can't help but smile when listening to!! Thank you both!
Hell F’n yeah we want some Misfits!!!
Hybrid Moments!!!
_Teenagers from Mars_ and _Astro Zombies_ are my favorites haha
They had Public Enemy open for them on their first tour . They also helped LL Cool J by playing his demo for Rick Rubin .
React to “Rhyming & stealin” by beastie boys
besides being the cutest cpl ever ,luv the way ya talk to eachother. And yall always have dif looks doing on. u guys are amazing
Where Eagles Dare would be a good place to start with the Misfits
The Misfits were amazing. The Lead singer was Glen Danzig and later in his life he denounced his involvement with the band.. But they were so influential.
The trendsetters of Hip Hop. You’re going to learn who the GOATS were
Public Enemy used to open for the Beastie Boys and they are the ones that gave LL Cool Js tape to the label which is what got him signed. You should watch Chuck D and LL induct the Beasties into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Everybody pauses the songs at the WORST places!!!
Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 by Chuck D and LL Cool J. You should check that out because you'll learn exactly where their place was in hip hop's history by what Chuck D and LL say about them.
Public Enemy opened up for the Beastie Boys on their 1st headlining Tour. If you want to see how iconic the Beastie Boys were watch their induction into the Roxk n Roll Hall of fame see who put some in there
HEYYY......MISFITS!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice Jai!! You're making me nostalgic, I might have to go dig out my skateboard and give myself a Mohawk..lol
Shake Your Rump, not literally, unless you two want to 😊, ..Beastie Boys song that is sooooo under rated, it's off Paul's Boutique, it's a track that back in the day, really upped the bar for sampling, mixing in everyday sounds, and whole different tempos in one song. Great reaction, as usual!! ✌️❤️️
Hey, watching your guys channel from New Zealand...love your reactions, so honest and clean....love it🙂❤❤❤
Jai you are just too beautiful, my goodness. I've missed a few of your reactions lately and just saw this. You 2 are awesome 😘😘💜
FIRST time hearing the Beastie Boys!?!? Yooooooo come on now! Hip hop pioneers baby! At least yall on em now, respect!
“That’s a throwback for ya ass right there.” I’m stealing that. 🤣
Holy shit.. still have this on chrome. Saw this video on mtv and had to have the album.
i love what you guys do. Two great personalities. Half, you are blessed. Jai is beautiful! Love the Misfits shirt!
They say never say never and I’m gonna say no one will ever touch the beastie boys when it comes to creative authentic Slammin dope production skills
Beastie boys are the pioneers of hip hop music. They Rock!
I was about to comment on that MIsfits shirt, and then you brought it up! That shirt is BAD ASS. It looks great on you too! Keep kickin ass, Jai!
I grew up in the city so this is VIBES of the time and it holds up. They are street. I consider this the moment before true stoop rap. They started as a punk band but looked up to RUN DMC so much they switched gears
Props to the producer Rick Rubin. He was huge for the Beasties.
And for DefJam and hip hop in general!
"I'm a hip hop head and I never heard of Beastie Boys"🤦🏾♂️
I'm at a loss for words 🙄
3 MCs and 1 DJ, Live version!!!!!! Best version!
Great reaction. Listen to 3 MC's and 1 DJ. Pure Hip Hop.
I got you, Half. Our bus driver used to let us bump this album on our middle school bus!
I was always been into Punk and Metal growing up in the 80's but what got me into hip hop as well were The Beastie Boy's and Run DMC because of the Rock and Rap connection.

You two are what I look for out here on RUclips. Discovering good stuff and spreading the gospel. RESPECT and love.
How Half and Jai felt discovering the Beasties for the first time is how I felt discovering Half and Jai for the fist time.
Been one of the strongest groups in music for close to 40 years now.
I'm so excited for the reaction community! It's always fun to watch the community get on some classic music they just discovered for the first time.
She's Crafty is one of my old school rap's jawn. The Beastie Boys got some real jams. Have fun listening and go back further. Like Philly's own Schooly D's Gucci Time or Big Daddy Kane.
They were tight with Run DMC. Both Def Jam artists. First concert that I ever went to. And RIP Jam Master Jay,
Beastie's gave Public Enemy their start! They put them on their tour and got PE popular.
