No Sleep Til Brooklyn was a reference to No Sleep Til Hammersmith by Motorhead. Everyone loved Motorhead. Eight Days A Week was a Beatles song, everyone knew the reference at the time. The guitar player doing the solo was Kerry King from Slayer. Slayer was a thrash metal band who were the only non-rap band on Def Jam at the time. King played on this, and Public Enemy sampled them for their song She Watch Channel Zero?!
And then there was a whole raft of metal/rap crossover collabs that were genre bending and brought together two underground scenes in a glorious cultural melting pot. Rappers were getting into thrash and skate metal, metalheads were getting into hiphop. Good times. As PE(and Anthrax) said... "Yeeeeaaahhhh bring tha noize!"
The Beasties are world champion shit talkers. It’s part of the reason we all love them. This was back in the day though before groups started to take all that stuff seriously. With the Beasties it was tongue in cheek. It was comedy.
The Volkswagen emblem he was wearing around his neck was essentially to make fun of the people that had been wearing Mercedes emblems around their necks around that time. He thought that was silly, so he wore something even sillier. Their entire catalog is indeed worth checking out. One of the most important groups in history. A lot of their videos are funny and creative. This was from their first album from 1986, same as The New Style. Fight For Your Right is another one from that album that you shouldn’t for a couple of reasons. One, it was their first big hit. And two, for their last album before MCA passed away they made another video called Fight For Your Right Revisited that is supposed to take place right after the Fight For Your Right video. It is a half hour long and contains an insane number of celebrities making cameos. It is actually for the first single off that last album, which is a song called Make Some Noise, but there are two versions of videos for it. The longer version with all the celebrities is found by searching for Fight For Your Right Revisited. It is about half an hour long but is definitely worth watching. If you search for Make Some Noise you’ll find the version that’s edited down to be a more normal length for a music video, but the longer one is the one to watch.
Yes! You are looking at a time in history when nobody called everything racist. We poke fun at each other's race and it was a JOKE. We laughed. It was funny and nobody started crying.
The Beasties boys around this time were getting banned from cities, and thrown out of countries for their "vulgar" stage antics and lyrics. Ad Rock was arrested in England and deported after throwing beer at fans. DEF JAM insisted they portray the "frat boy" party, delinquent , minor criminal type. Being 20ish, they were happy to have fun at first, but they were not happy with the image and abandoned it at the end of the LICENSE TO ILL tour in 1987.
My little brother won 2 tickets from the radio in 1986 to the RUN DMC / Beastie Boys concert at the Houston Astrodome, and he was cool enough to take me, knowing what a fan I was of both groups. Freakin' awesome.
This song is SO FIRE. Top hit on this album. Fun fact. They were a punk rock group before they became a hip hop group. They never got big on the punk scene. These guys are so different in their flow it just straight vibed. Their first tour with Run Dmc and LL was one of the BEST hip hop tours to date. These dudes were on a different level.
bruh man you seriously need to have an understanding that these dudes were besties with run dmc at the time and they were the reason ll cool j even got a shot, THEY MADE DEF JAM!!! THIS IS OLD SCHOOL MID EIGHTIRS!!!
Run remembers it more like they were these annoying white dudes that hung around the studio and took up their time with questions, so they gave the Boys a song to shut them up. Probably a little tongue in cheek, but probably also a little bit true.
One thing most don't know; they played instruments as well. MCA bass, Ad Rock guitar, and Mike D drums. Not like they were SRV and Double Trouble but they could play a whole set- that's how they started.
The Beastie Boys have a sound that holds up to this day. Old School Hip Hop with that Slacker Rock sound. Well done my guy. Yeah that's right I do food reviews while on the toilet. My brother does his Foody Fashion show on my channel also. He matches the food he reviews with his outfits. He wears songs now
Early rap had a lot of diversity in the crowds in a lot of cities - my favourite local club had 2 nights a week of punk & 1 of rap, & we hit all 3 nights: Goth rap fans of every description enjoying good music!
Love the Beastie Boys rabbit hole you been going down. Maybe check out Primus Tommy the Cat or Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love. I'd like to see your reaction.
We hitchhiked 150 miles to watch the Beastie Boys and run DMC in 1986 play Memorial Colosseum in Portland, Oregon. And then again when they came back to the Salem Armory for check your head. The Beastie Boys and the B-52‘s defined what fun was in my generation x. Music should be fun. Fuck Cancer…
In 1989, i went to a Judas Priest concert where my fav band Slayer opened for them and i was in the mosh, i caught a Kerry King pick and fractured a rib at this show. Kerry was playing lead in this song.
I like your reaction. It’s OK that you haven’t heard of them. For 25 years lol. Welcome.😂 I can’t even describe to you how much I love this song. I don’t have the words.
Hopped on the subscriber train to watch your Beastie experience. I like your reactions. Keep it up. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Rush, and the Beasties will drive your reaction channel.
The 80s were a great time in history to be alive. There was no hate/racism like you see today. We all mixed it up together. Hip hop and rap were just emerging into their own genre, the music was positive, and the Artists were talented. Not the crap you hear today all about drugs, drinking, disrespecting women, killing people, etc...
Paul's Boutique is absolutely a masterpiece, that is indisputable. But it's not underrated. It's highly, HIGHLY acclaimed. Any respectable list of most important rap albums has it on there. It's still named-dropped to this day as an important album more than 30 years later. Everyone needs to stop using "underrated" as a stand in for "very good." I swear people today would use "underrated" to describe Lord of The Rings...🤦🏼♂️
You closed your eyes and looked away right when the headbangers head fell off. You have to watch this back. It happens shortly after they show the amish guy with the black beard. That part used to crack me up as a kid.
If everybody pointing out that 'No Sleep til Brooklyn' is a nod to Motorhead gets you curious about checking out No Sleep til Hammersmith, it's got the versions of Motorhead and Iron Horse that they use on all the greatest hits albums
Great reaction and to be honest this whole album rocks from front to back. If you want another fun 80s rabbit hole to go down check out almost any Weird AL video, I do suggest that you watch the original video and then his parody that he does. My favorite song of his is "White and Nerdy" which is a parody of Chamillionaire - "Ridin" he has over 100 of songs out there and Weird AL has been making great funny songs for over 40 years.
Yes it was Volkswagen emblem 😂. Definitely do their catalog. You need to react to you gotta fight and a few other early ones before you do their star studded anniversary video . We need to make sure you know enough of their catalogue and make sure you see the long version of the anniversary video.
More......---> Three MCs and One DJ Sure Shot Pass the Mic New Style Hey Ladies Intergalactic Make Some Noise Rhymin and Stealin Too Many Rappers (ft Nas) Sabotage Brass Monkey And sooooo many more...all of the Paul's Boutique album...

The 80's were truly a magical time. The last generation before the internet and we all loved each other.

Ice-T's metal band Body Count covers Slayer as well.
Both deserve reactions.

If we're talking metal and rap crossovers then the Judgement Night soundtrack needs to be in the conversation.
@@TheDanandHolly Definitely. Nice slice of a moment in musical history. :)

For instance, there was "Walk This Way" where Run-DMC made a cover of the Arrowsmith song and did a video together.

The best three Jewish rappers ever. I'm 62 years old and I'm still rocking them while I work out.
At this time it was the Beastie Boys, Run DMC and a young LL Cool Jay wreaking havoc on the music scene... sooooo good
💯Rick Rubin...Def Jam!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw them in 1986 together with Run DMC..not sure it could be any better , what a night ! The BB were so much fun to be a witness to!
We used to steal fancy hood ornaments and attach them to chains 😅😂

She's Crafty!!!!
And she's just my type.
"The girl is crafty like ice is cold" CLASSIC!
"I found myself naked in the middle of the floor
She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers!"
One of my all time favorite bars!! 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣

Yes bro! 👊
Damn bro touch some grass
@@sheryl7798 Touch some grass?
Talking about manager Russell Simmons love for angel dust
PCP
Yep, PCP, dust. I can remember many times, the weed would be "dusted" with PCP, making a quick spliff a major event.

The Beastie boys were still touring up until MCA passed in 2012. That was the end of the group. MCA was a full 1/3 of the band.
I recommend Sure Shot for your next Beastie's reaction.
" High Plains Drifter " certified banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorites.
You've got a deep Beasties rabbit hole to go down.(A lot of VW badges went missing in the 80s!)
My little brother won 2 tickets from the radio in 1986 to the RUN DMC / Beastie Boys concert at the Houston Astrodome, and he was cool enough to take me, knowing what a fan I was of both groups. Freakin' awesome.
You have a great brother, mine is so lame, just took me to Primus. 😉
And yes the Beastie Boys rabbit hole is deep.....all good stuff! Even their later stuff......
Oh yeah, they killed it with Sabotage !
@@ionflow1073 yessssss!!!!
From a white boy form the 80's, glad you like this 5h1t!!!!! Much luv!!!!!

*You ain’t ready for their 1992 return “So What’cha want”!*
Pretty sure that was his first one.

Dude I laughed hard when you said that about your uncle.
SLAAAAYYYYERRRR!!!!! 😊

52. Can still rap this from the top of my head. Anthem to my life. Beastie Boys were brutal. Few had an impact like those boys.
Early rap had a lot of diversity in the crowds in a lot of cities - my favourite local club had 2 nights a week of punk & 1 of rap, & we hit all 3 nights: Goth rap fans of every description enjoying good music!
Great reactions! Sabotage, Brass Monkey, and Intergalactic are my suggestions.
Brass Monkey is still my ish' 😂😂 one of my favorites out of their catalog 😂❤
You mentioned the crowd being diverse. Thats how it was back then. I was in Detroit at the time, and you ran into all kinds of people at shows.
Welcome to the party Brah! You’re right. Better late than never! I’m glad I can witness your awakening.
Yes, I'm yet another 51 y/o white guy who absolutely loves this content! So glad you found them. This was truly the soundtrack of the era
Somebody perhaps already told you they used to be hardcore punk band in the early days. B-Boys are the most bad ass rappers!
He'll yea!!! Kerry King from SLAYER at the end on Guitar.... And he HAD HAIR!!!!!! And Brand Spiked Arm Band!!!!!
Those were the days!!!!!
I saw them open for Judas Priest back then!
yes..that is a wolkswagen chain
Im a 48 yr old female and Beastie Boys still stay on heavy repeat!! 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
Love the Beastie Boys rabbit hole you been going down. Maybe check out Primus Tommy the Cat or Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love. I'd like to see your reaction.
Checking their "whole catalog" is wise decision- they put out classic album after classic album and each one is unique
I love your reactions. I have never seen anyone notice that they added an 8th day to the week before. That was hilarious. 😂
They were and are still gods, how could it have taken so long. But proud you are on it.
B Boy Bouillabaisse is going to blow your mind bro... nevermind this comment, you're not ready for this one
Licence to ill was sooo big. Kids just don`t know. Pure vintage gold that hasn`t lost it`s shine. Nice reaction bro.

Fuck Cancer…
Yes, his manager is crazy and he always smokes dust.
I remember back then people used to steal VW emblems to make a chain out of them because of the Beastie Boys 🤣
Yup angel dust.
With Kerry King from Slayer on guitar. Thanks Rick Rubin :)
Brass Monkey is another great one from this album.
Love it. Can’t wait for you to react to Intergalactic
Keep it up with the Beastie Boys. There's a lot of other good music out there as well
The genesis of rap/rock. ❤🤘
YES MIKE D MADE THE VOLKSWAGON MEDALION A THING LOL
😇dust - yes 🙌🏽
In 1989, i went to a Judas Priest concert where my fav band Slayer opened for them and i was in the mosh, i caught a Kerry King pick and fractured a rib at this show. Kerry was playing lead in this song.
Saw them with DMC back in the 80s in col ga and a full blown riot broke out , you had to be there
I like your reaction. It’s OK that you haven’t heard of them. For 25 years lol. Welcome.😂 I can’t even describe to you how much I love this song. I don’t have the words.
She's crafty & brass monkey are very fun. Saw them live with the Fat Boys, Dane Dane with Fame, great concert.
Love your reaction, dude. Very entertaining 👏
As a life long Beasties fan, I recommend: Root Down
Rick Rubin prints all over this track. Such a classic.
Always, one of my favorite Beastie songs! Love the gorilla at the end with the chick....lmbo.. Keep up the good work young man...
Hopped on the subscriber train to watch your Beastie experience. I like your reactions. Keep it up. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Rush, and the Beasties will drive your reaction channel.
Man, this is nostalgic! Bringing back a hell of a lot of memories.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. Going through a rough time. You are making me smile. Thank you good sir
There's a whole generation of VW's without the original emblem, because kids were stealing them for chains.
The chorus just stays with you...

When Brooklyn was still cool!
Brooklyn still cool bruhh.. Chai tea lattés gang
Bro I'm Mexican born in Mexico live there 18 years and I knew the Beasty boys
Their 2nd album, Pauls Boutique, is one of the most underrated albums of all time. Check ur Head was 🔥 too. Ill Communication got all the accolades.

KRUSH GROOVIN'.
Beasties were EVERYWHERE.....
This is like the Equivalent to My Adidas by Run DMC, Awesome.. Rap, Rock,
Nice to see Carlton Banks doing so well in 2024.
Hahahahah..ok Uncle Phil
That's funny cuz in one of the earlier bb videos he says...."these guys got me dancing like Carlton"
love it! thanks for reacting! i used to listen to this as a kid with my older sisters...
If everybody pointing out that 'No Sleep til Brooklyn' is a nod to Motorhead gets you curious about checking out No Sleep til Hammersmith, it's got the versions of Motorhead and Iron Horse that they use on all the greatest hits albums
They didn't care i bought this cassette tape w my paper route money....they paved the way.
1985
I remember them throwing LSD like confetti son
BTW. Heavy metal guitar was from slayer. Mr king
RIP MCA ❤
They did it 24/8
You gotta do beastie boys rhym and stealing video version it's epic
I second that one. Rhyming and Stealin video is good. For a sense of beastie Boys live.
Yes, angle dust. Aka getting dusted.
angel

Sabotage was used decadrs later, for second Star Trek movie.
i love this one i used to listen to it on the school bus back in high school in the 80's when it came out
Yes it was Volkswagen emblem 😂. Definitely do their catalog. You need to react to you gotta fight and a few other early ones before you do their star studded anniversary video . We need to make sure you know enough of their catalogue and make sure you see the long version of the anniversary video.
You got to see that one
Party for your right to party
Commentary on the bad hair metal that was popular at the time, as well as their new experiences as a band always on the road.
I love your attitude!
Crazy Boogie is 25yo!!!! Time flies!❤🙏

"Paul Revere" by the Beastie Boys has the sickest beat you will ever hear. They don't have a music video for it, just one with lyrics.
Kerry King on guitar. SLAYER. Rick Ruben had both bands
