- This is our first time listening to Beastie Boys, probably lol. We listened to Sabotage on stream with the gang. It's an interesting song but the video was a little distracting.

The Beastie Boys were notorious for being great rappers but also playing their own instruments and infusing rock elements into rap WAAAAAY before most other artists thought to do so. They’re truly amazing. I also believe they have the best selling rap album of the 80s? Don’t quote me on that…but I think it might be true. Love them.
@TexasBBQ Smokehouse I think given how much they were like "fuck the system", the beastie boys may agree with the wording.
Anthrax. Im the man
Rick Rubin was a big part of the sound
They were a punk band before Rick Rubin got ahold of them and had them mix hip hop and rock.
@TexasBBQ Smokehouse No, he used it fine here
The video was basically a parody of 70s police TV shows and movies. For a first listen, I could see how it was a distraction. Very comedic if you watched some of those shows.
Real Starsky & Hutch vibes.
@@normanleroy1874 Starsky & Hutch for sure. I loved Harry O. as a youth.
Agree - it was the best video of that year - EPIC. Directed by Spike Jonze.
You have to be a 70's kid t get it. And now this song is 20 years old , holy shit
@@bothellkenmore Absolutely have to be a 70’s kid to really get it!
*Beastie Boys - "Three MC's and One DJ", "Intergalactic", and "Shake Your Rump" is a good start...*
Intergalactic it too late. Brass Monkey and No Sleep Til Brooklyn would be better. ;)
@@JoeBlow_4 Root Down
Intergalactic Planetary. Also the three mcs and 1 dj is fkng 🔥🔥🔥
"So What'cha Want"
those are all good songs, but "Paul Revere" is, by far, their best song, from any album.
The Beastie Boys started as a punk group. Then they met Rick Rubin when he was starting Def Jam and they kind of changed into one of the early hip hop groups, but their sound always retained some of that early NY punk vibe.
Punk/hip hop is what they are. As adept with turntables and mixers as they are with drums guitars and effects pedals.
They began dabbling in rap prior to meeting Rick Rubin, but they, Rick Rubin, Russell Simmons, and Run DMC basically together broke rap/hip-hop onto MTV and the mainstream with Def Jam Records and influenced everything hip-hop became since them as well as founding the rock/rap genre that made bands like Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Kid Rock, and Limp Bizkit so popular
I likely wouldn’t have ever known that they started out as a punk band if it hadn’t been for the early days of Napster.
Almost except they had released a hip hop 12 inch before meeting Rubin. They hired Rubin to be their DJ so they could play their hip hop live. All off this is prior to Rubin meeting R. Simmons and starting Def Jam.
And the drummer from Luscious Jackson was a member...so Beastie Boys and Girl, I guess.
"How would you classify this?" asks Brad.
The Beastie Boys. That's how you classify it.
Their albums would often fuse different genres, but all their songs would ultimately sound like the Beasties and no-one else.
They had a sound of their own and were absolutely brilliant!
Brad gets confused by anything that doesn’t fit in a neat little box. He really just needs to listen to the music and stop dissecting it.
Jewish guys screaming at me over great beats. Love it
as the boat sailed away there were 2 empty seats.....
One of the best music videos of all time in my opinion! You can just feel how much fun they had making it. And the song to go along with it... perfection 😃
Definitely one of the best videos of all time, it’s meant to be a spoof of crime drama’s of the 70’s
Definitely one of the best videos of all time, but it makes more sense if you're old enough to get all the '70s cop show cliches.
Heck yeah Beasty Boys are epic! Do "Three MC's and one Dj" "Intergalactic", " Paul Revere", "Sure Shot", " Alive" , "Shake your Rump" and so many more tracs. You won't be dissapointed
Punky hip-hop. Best description for them. This was 93. There would be no rock-hip hop fusion without the Beastie Boys. Their first big album, License to Ill, came out in 86 and was the first rap album to reach #1.
Pub trivia! The first rap song to hit #1 was Blondie's Rapture. "rap" lol
Actually, there would be no rock hip-hop fusion without Aerosmith/Run-DMC and shortly thereafter Anthrax I'm the Man. (1986 and 1987 respectively).
@@steviekc9057 That's the first rap to hit #1 but I sure wouldn't call it a "rap song." It had a rap break in it.
@@Donb1233 True. It's a matter of perspective. There was a period between about the late '80s and mid-'90s in which it was common for pop songs to include a rap verse, usually functioning as part of the song's bridge. Nobody called those "rap songs." It almost felt like pop was dipping its toes in the hip-hop waters. But when Blondie did "Rapture," rap was such a novelty to mainstream audiences at the time (and given that the song's title itself alludes to it) that it frequently has been called a rap song ever since. Initially the term "rap" was being used somewhat loosely. If you look back at Michael Jackson's iconic "Thriller" video from 1983, its credits actually refer to Vincent Price's monologue (which is probably more accurately described as spoken-word) as "rap"--with quotation marks around the word.
On the other hand, the boundary could get blurry, particularly with the house genre, which was primarily electronic dance-pop but would include rapping whenever it felt like it, and for some people, the first "rap songs" they heard were in fact house songs (think Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam").
So What'cha Want is also great. 'I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle' refers to the infamous tapes of drummer Buddy Rich cursing out his band - Beastie Boys have tons of references like this.
Beastie Boys are waaaaayyyyy more hip-hop then this on average. They have influenced as well as have been influenced by sooooo many hip-hop groups you guys are into.
Brad nailed it Beasties were Punk-Hop thats their roots started as a punk band then fell in love with the NYC rap scene in 80s
The beginning elements of rock/rap. Beastie Boys started out as a punk band and ventured to the rap scene with help and support from RUN D MC. Beasties first album was meant as a joke but gained so much attention and support they continued on with their unique mix. Cool thing is they play all instruments and do their own mixing. 👏👏👏🤘😎🤘
they do their own producing. not mixing. Their albums even had credits for who mixed it.
@@panrick ....MARIO CATALDO
@@sheepdog4404 Mario was more the audio engineer than the producer, although he did get several producer credits on their records, but the Beastie's wrote the songs, they produced themselves, my guy.
The whole 1994 album, Ill communication is awesome.
Clever mix of rap, funk, punk, rock and more.
They put all their musical influences in this album which is a blast from start to finish.
@@billybennet75
You are right.
Just corrected
Beastie Boys actually started as a punk band. They are awesome!
The video for this song is epic!
Every cop show from the '70's and '80's.
Punky hip hop is a pretty good description. Beastie Boys started as a punk band in the early 80s and then got into a more hiphop style during their time working with Rick Rubin.
All right!!! Also check out Intergalactic, Brass Monkey, So What’cha Want, Sure Shot. Too many to list. Loooove the Beasties 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I'd avoid Intergalactic. Probably their worst single.
@@barnigranero5882 What?!? Nahh...there's no such thing.
Beastie Boys are one of the best bands ever, all genres.
Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication... Perfect Trifecta.
The other albums are pretty damn good too.
Get real. Beastie Boys don't rank. I like them, though.
Also the video wasn’t trying to be serious. Even for its time it was definitely a parody. Classic goofballs! Lol.
Must of been fun to record
Didn't this music video win tons of awards because it was so cool and cheesy
It was a parody of all those shows us GenX’ers grew up with...Mannix, Streets of San Francisco, McCloud, Starsky & Hutch, Baretta etc etc.
The first time I saw it, I couldn’t stop cracking up. They did it perfectly.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 it blows my mind that it needs explaining. the video is so epic from day 1, still makes me laugh watching it. They even got Hurricane in there.
One of the most iconic songs and videos of the glorious 90’s.
"No Sleep Till Brooklyn" is a good Beastie Boys song.
If I remember right didn't Kerry King play on that track?
"Paul Revere" is a masterpiece and a piece of genius.
All those bands you talked about this sounding like...yeah, guess who inspired them? With the possible exception of RHCP, the Beastie Boys preceded them by at least a decade. They are the Rap/rock genre OGs
100 percent agree. Plus Beasties are 1000 times better than say Limp Bizket.
@@anthonyv6962 Me banging on a kiddie piano with a rubber mallet sounds better than Limp Bizkit. That's not an opinion. That is fact.
@@jaxager I think we are on the same page here.
Faith No More was also doing some similar stuff since the mid-'80s, though it leaned more toward rock/metal with some hip hop elements than straight rap-rock.
Beastie Boys were a hip hop group... they did start as a punk rock band. Then, they switched in the 80's to become MC's...
I mean, Beastie Boys never took themselves that seriously with their sarcastic, dissing vocals! ;-) But, they are lit, no cap! The video is really making fun of the 70's cop shows we all used to watch.
@the world has fallen no cap
I wouldn’t even say they’re making fun, it’s an homage
They wore caps actually...
@@jperryhal they had hats
"dissing voices"?
Beasties started as Punk, moved into Hip Hop and then....jazz/elevator music/hipster type stuff. then mixed all styles on albums. MCA was Inventor' of Looping. Masters of the Craft. Live shows world renown as AWESOME. Mix Master Mike is Mindblowing.
YUP! What I was coming down to note. "3 MCs and 1 DJ" !!!!
The Beastie Boys actually started out as a punk band; however, their art transended either rap or rock. One of the few artists in whick I enjoy all of their works.
LOL the video is a 90s rap/rock/punk band spoofing cops shows from the 70s- it's hilarious to me, but the song itself is a banger.
Please react to Wha cha want, No Sleep Till Brooklyn, 3 MC's & 1 DJ and Body Movin. Beastie Boys were truly pioneers of crossing over different genres and in my opinion they are greats in the music industry.
The video is parodying 70's and early 80's cheesy cop shows.
For the hosts to not notice that the whole video is a spoof of cop tv show intros is the most telling part of this whole reaction video.
@@btbb3726 meh, they are young though. I doubt they sat through and watched the cheesy shit us older folks watched back in the day
Thanks for brightning up my day Lex and Brad! I hope you get to do this for as long as you like. You deserve it. Stay safe / Regards
Great band. I was a strictly metal guy in high school but the beastie boys helped to introduce me to hip hop. I love the energy and grooves from these guys.
I’ve gained a newer appreciation for the synthesis myself.
When you have time, check out the Beasties playing Sabatage live on David Letterman and you'll realize how much of rockers they are. Besides the scratching & rapping that is at the forefront of the song, they are also playing guitars and banging on drums at the same time. They were all extremely talentaed individuals.
This^^^
Ad-Rock is the one who gave Rick Rueben LL Cool J's demo, which lead to him getting signed and started his career in music. Crazy to think how one of the godfathers of hip hop got his start. :P
He also produced the beat for his first release I Need a Beat
Yes, here in New Zealand is Saturday, and I had a long week, so I'm binge-watching your channel, lol.
This song made me want to have a band. I was like: yes, that's exactly what I want to do. Although I'm not a professional musician, I play the guitar whenever inspired.
These 3 dudes... So wise and talented a such a young age. I'm glad I grew up with their music as the soundtrack of my life.
They were originally a hardcore band from the 80s nyc hardcore scene but morphed into a hip hop act and blew up the whole scene and changed the game and are greatly respected in both the rock and hip hop circles
A band that did very well in the 90s that nobody is reacting to is BUSH: "Machinehead." You'll get lots of other songs recommended by them if you do it.
Bush singing glycerin live on stage in the rain is a must watch.
He was also married to Gwen Stefani for those who don't know
Yes. Razor blade suitcase was the first CD I ever bought. Such a good band. So solid suggestion
Beastie Boys were a group that were essentially at the forefront of two decades of Hip Hop. They did a lot of things no one else did, won TONS of awards, sold millions upon millions of albums, and had some of the best videos around.
This album was the soundtrack to my life in college. It's such a classic.
If you two are gonna go on a Beastie Boys binge, I'm all in on that! My favorite group ever ❤
I'm totally ready for you to deep dive on this band...
Fight For Your Right
No Sleep Til Brooklyn featuring a guitar solo from Slayer's Kerry King
Brass Monkeys
Intergalactic
Check It Out
Root Down
Sure Shot
There is a wealth of great stuff
You would never guess how many varieties of style and sound they had over the years. Gratitude is another song that doesn't reflect most of their songs but kicks ass! It's also filmed at Pompeii in homage to Pink Floyd Echo's. Saw them live thankfully at Santa Barbara Bowl - tiny venue and it was a BLAST
That's not a tiny venue. That's twice the size of what I'd call a medium/large venue.
This is kind of amazing. They're utterly unaware that this is a 90s video parodying 70s cop shows
I think the video is absolutely badass. The hair and the mustaches are hilarious!
Gotta do 'Intergalactic' by Beastie Boys
Sick! They did this song live on David Letterman. They actually do play instruments. They practically invented rap rock. So what you want, Paul Revere, three MCS and one DJ
Me and my horsey horsey🐴and a quart of beer 🍺
That's right, I remember that Letterman episode!
This^^
It's on RUclips best live performace ever
"I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle" Rich was a jazz drummer known for his quick temper. Thank you guitar hero.
Beastie Boys started as a NYC Punk Rock band then morphed into Rap/Rock/Punk. Sabotage is straight back to their Punk Rock roots mixed with Rap & EDM.
The Beastie boys started out as a punk rock band. So they've always kept that energy. Even rage against the machine being the first metal band with a hip hop twist their energy is pure punk rock
YES! So glad you did these guys. I hope you do more. Their catalogue is deep and wide.
They were kind of their own genre. Most of their stuff is more straight hip hop, but they combined hip hop, punk, metal (in their early days anyway), jazz, funk, psych-rock, and experimentation to make something that's not quite like any other band. Such a fun group.
Being as The Beastie Boys started life as punk rock band. I put this song into my punk rock play list. I think they went home to their early influences. I feel like their song "Gratitude " has a punk rock feel as well, and their song "Heart Attack Man" is full on punk rock.
The video is a parody of 1970's cop TV shows that were shot like the video, I remember loving it at the time cos we all grew up with Starsky and Hutch, Kojak and the professionals, and what a tune as well by the way!!
Yes..great song from a great Album..you guys should check out some of their earlier work as well....perhaps 'Paul's Boutique"?
The Beastie Boys started as a punk band and transitioned into hiphop, and it was amazing. Sabotage is a perfect example of this
The video, directed by Spike Jonze, was nominated for MTV music video of the year. One of the best videos ever!
Amazingly talented band! When this first came out, we just called it Rap…Sooooo goooooood! Enjoy! 🤘🏻🇨🇦
More Beasties PLEASE!! Check out 3 MCs and 1 DJ for some real hip hop. Also, anything from Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head or Ill Commminication is also great.
I believe this was the first album to top the Hip hop and rock charts. The Beastie boys have a lot of great songs. Over there albums the make quite an evolution in their music. Becoming better musicians and playing there own instruments. In the beginning they did more sampling. This video is a play on 70's cop tv shows. Beastie boys always seemed to have the most fun. Thanks for another excellent reaction.
This really was PEAK Beastie Boys.....90s hip hop/funk/rock playing on a 70s cop tv show
Well Brad's guess on punk hip-hop was very accurate, beastie boys started as hardcore punk band for a very short time and switched to hip-hop afterwards, but you can feel the punk vibes.
punk-hop sounds about right, IIRC they actually started out as a straight up punk group before going into a more hip-hop/rap direction.
Beastie Boys were an American hip hop group from New York City, formed in 1981. The group was composed of Michael "Mike D" Diamond (vocals, drums), Adam "MCA" Yauch (vocals, bass), and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (vocals, guitar, programming).
There's so much more Beastie Boys you need to listen to!! You won't be disappointed. They are beyond iconic!!
There’s just soooooo many shit-hot Beastie beats……Root Down, Get It Together, Stand Together……
Stand Together might be my favorite Beastie Boys song. It's so funky and weird and inspiring and great. Everything I love about them is in that song.
I would classify Beastie Boys as punk-groove hip-hop with a Brooklyn twist. Should ch-ch-check out - So Watch'cha Want, Intergalactic, or Shake Your Rump. Just to name a few.
Lex! This one if my fave Beastie tracks ever, the video was amazing at the time, a homage to the cops n robber TV shows of the 1970s! Hilarious! P.S, I love your 90s jackets, Uber cool!❤️
Beastie Boys are 80s pioneers of rap/punk rock mix.
Make no mistake about it, Sabotage is a 90's rock classic. Guitar, bass, drums, and samples all played and recorded by the Beasties themselves. The Beasties were just as much Rock n Rollers as the were Rappers.
I know I'm in the minority, but as much as I LOVE the Beastie Boys, this song just never grabbed me.. I don't hate it, but if I want their more rockish/punkish side, I much prefer Gratitude, Time For Livin', or Remote Control.
As far as their hip hop stuff goes, they just pumped out banger after banger after banger. I love Mix Master Mike, and have nothing but respect for his skills and as a turntablist (both as solo artist, and his work with the Invisibl Skratch Piklz), but I definitely enjoyed the DJ Hurricane era of the Beasties the most... Just a more old school vibe with the beats and breaks used to build the musical tracks.
YES! "Gratitude" is my FAV B-Boy song!
Isn't strange that now we are fans of reactors? I am a fan of these two people just because of their energy, just like i am a fan of my favorite bands.
Actually, they are doing a parody of the 1970's cop shows and movies. Also realize that the Beastie boys started out as a PUNK ROCK band at the beginning of the 1980's. Like Run-DMC, they incorporated a lot of rock vibes into their music. They actually made their own music and are very good musicians. I am surprised how so many people today cannot watch a video AND listen to the lyrics. It was always easy for us.
Beastie Boys have a large catalog of big hits and you should do a poll for next reaction. Very entertaining
You should watch this performance live from a certain late night TV show....they totally blew people away, for their actual playing of all the music...yes, they had skills to play instruments live.
The live version of this on Lettermen is fire 🔥
Love how the Beastie Boys evolved over their career and I love all of it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 from Paul Revere to Open Letter to NYC 💎
What I love about the beasties, besides the amazing music, us their sense of humor.
Happy belated Birthday Lex, sorry I missed your party last night.🥳🎂
✌❤
Think about this: in the same 6-month span,at the same studio,"Raising Hell" by Run DMC,"Reign In Blood" by Slayer,and "License To Ill" by the Beastie Boys were recorded. You guys should check out some of "Pollywog Stew" by the Beasties,if for no other reason than to measure the vast difference. I personally love it.
It's really cool watching them perform live because they all actually play the instruments.
Wow these guys really bring back High School memories for me loved theses guys back in the late 80s🤔
The Beastie Boys were first a punk rock band. Completely punk rock on their first album the Pollywog stew album . It was their second album Liscened to Ill where they introduced rap and hip hop. Their role models were the Bad Brains.The Beastie Boys took the B&B from Bad Brains and came up with the name Beastie Boys. Whereas the Bad Brains were an all black band playing hardcore punk rock .The Beastie Boys were inspired by the Bad Brains to do something similar being white kids making rap music. Later the Beastie Boys would produce a Bad Brains record Build a Nation on Megaforce records.
Mid 80s. They have so many great songs. Intergalactic, what you want, Paul Revere, fight for your right..
Intergalactic is the odd man out.... that was late 90's
Your videos are great because you launch right into the song with no preamble and “make sure you hit like and subscribe” and that kind of nonsense. Bravo!
Happy Birthday Lex ,hope you had a great day x
Lex has the best energy on RUclips ❤️🌞
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. The video is the greatest ever. Classic.
Definitely a unique choice to dive in to the Beasties. Huge hit, but one of the biggest departures from their "genre." Please do more -- much more -- of them.
This video is a throwback to the 70's. This is straight up 70's cop TV show from the hair, clothes, to the cars to the word "Sabotage" the videos are always fun and not meant to be taken seriously.
Beastie Boys gained fame in the 80's as a rap/ hip-hop group that started punk. They are legendary and pretty revered in the music industry.
They were a group of 3, unfortunately Adam Yauch (MCA) passed away in 2012 after battling cancer.
The video is tongue in cheek. It is so 90s as a play on 70s cop TV shows
Slayer was recording their seminal album "Reign in Blood" in the same studio at the same time the Beastie Boys were recording this record.
They got along and invited Kerry King to lay down the guitars and solo on "You gotta fight".
The song is well worth checking out!
Haha that video is fkn epic. Only the beastie boys can pull that off being serious but making it funny
Great reaction y'all. More beastie boys please
One the best music videos of all time, and the video is a spoof of the 70’s
If you wanna do more Beastie Boys reactions. You gotta hit onto their classics, like... No Sleep 'til Brooklyn or Fight For Your Right To Party. They have been around longer than most peeps realize. Love the vid. Love the reaction. Keep up the GREAT work you 2! \m/
The video is great homage to TV cop shows from the 70s and 80s, especially Streets of San Francisco and Starsky and Hutch. Nailed every trope.
you know dudes and dudettes I'm sitting on a couch and watch you sitting on a couch . It feels that you are sitting next to me like frIends. I loove your vids!
Visuals is 70's notorious tv detective Calachan played by Clint Eastwood (legendary image you must check him out) and sounding is a band,the beastie boys, who came from punk with no success and tried to switch to rap just to show they can too do this new sound..and they did it by being pioneers in the genre exactly because of their musical background. Just brilliant..
Director Spike Jonez do an excellent job with the video. I love the 70's gritty cop show vibe.
They started as a Punk band and started rapping for fun. People liked them and they started. They're in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame for rapping inducted by LL Cool J and Chuck D.
Punk hip hop is spot on. The Beasties had a few punk songs sprinkled in their albums. Awesome group.
