I'm not a 52 year old dude crying..
It's just something in my eye..
Rest in peace MCA.
Beastie for life...🤘🙏💙
I feel you bro. Im 51. Dad turned me on to rush and zeppelin, my brother to the beasties. Still keep all 3 on heavy rotation, almost 40 years later. Losing MCA was tough.
I listen to them almost every day. I grew up skating in the 80’s and they were so cool!
🙏🏾
The best. At 60 I love these guys every day. What a speech. 🎤🎤🎤🥲
60 to 50 to 30 to the next generations who will appreciate the Beastie Boys
At the moment Ad Rock and Mike D were accepting their award, Yauch was dying in a hospital bed. So sad. They really did a good job keeping it together.
So much emotion in the Adrock/Chuck D hug.
It's hard to lose someone you been close to for years. I totally understand the situation.
🛠️
So sad
I feel like part of mine, among with many of the 80s kids’, died with him. Rip Yauch, for sure I don’t know you and the band at personal level, but for sure your work brought lots of joy into our lives.
Bless you. I'm a 58 year old lady from Amsterdam, saw them 3 times live in concert. Now dying of cancer myself. I think about Adam and the other Beasties often. Man, i still enjoy their music a lot. Keep rocking, keep grooving. Love 🤘✌❤
Keep going with music in your head. Beasty Boys live and their music as everyone who is loved lives forever.
@@klementinarogar8304 True! Thanks so much.
@@nancywiggermans many blessings to you, you got this!!
Damn that hit me
I hope you find peace ☮️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
That third trophy laying down.... got me.
Me too...im tearing up
Amen brother he's watching hip hop in heaven
Yea no one even makes a move to stand it up. I'm ready to jump out of my skin right now
RIPMCA
actually, 2 were laying down, and the third one they got last was standing up. so actually, MCAs was the one that was standing.
To those that gave this a thumbs down, you need to take a long look in the mirror and ask yourselves what’s missing. Beastie Boys represent nothing but love, humility, family, and sticking together. MCA you will always be with us.
From one BH to another, you just spit the truth. I grew up on the Beasties and anyone who can "dislike" a clip of these pioneers being inducted, must be clueless. They SHAPED a freaking culture and did so for decades!
Brian what a comment it could not have been written any better shout out from me to all the great old school hip hop one of a kind generation of gr

I did not thumb it down but typical admission into the RRHoF should NEVER be taken seriously. The Beasties are 1 of about a dozen bands that MAY actually be deserving of entry. And though they've apologized and no longer endorse homophobia, they sure did at one time.
I gave a thumbs down because I don't want RRHOF recommendations in my feed. That's all. I think that's where a lot of thumbs downs(?) come from.
🤙
I'm 53 and STILL listen to the Beastie Boys. A true classic rap group who were and still are a part of who I am. Thanks guys!
Soooo, not a rock n roll band?
I’m 19 and I’m starting to really get into the beastie boys !

Hearing them read the letter from MCA. Oh man, I cried a little all these years later. RIP.
You really see Mike D trying to keep it up...
More than 8 years later, and still, tears.
You're not alone.
Alex Pancheri True dat. I’m sitting here crying like a little bitch touched by MCA words.
Yup.
YEP, doing it right now again...
I'm with you there
Every good party in the 80's had Beastie Boys playing.
Ain't that the truth
And the 90’s for that matter. Just different records
And still today in the 2020s

Beastie For Ever.
Ad Rock and Mike D on stage receiving their award while Adam was living his last days… It’s one of the most heartbreaking moments in the Hip Hop history
Long live to the music ❤️
Whoever didn't grow up bumping the Beasties surely missed out on big part of the foundation of hip hip and rap in the early days.
My eyes immediately came to tears as soon as Ad Rock started reading MCAs words.
I was lucky enough to see them in Birmingham UK in 1986. They definitely touched my soul as a young man growing up in the UK.
Stop it!!! 🤣🤣💀 Yall make it hard for them to get their respect saying silly shit.They came out nearly 15 years after Hip Hop was created,they had absolutely nothing to do with the foundation of Hip Hop & they are not rappers/lyricists.They're just 3 white dudes who grew up loving all music & formed a band.No need to rewrite history,just give them their flowers.
@Stacy C Maybe not the foundation but they played their part in it's early journey. That fact can't be denied.
Rest in peace Adam .. you're one of the most badass MCs to walk this universe and will never be forgotten.
There are the occasional celebrity deaths that catch you off guard and hurt like losing a family member. The death of MCA cut me deep. I’m known to all who know me as the guy who has a huge music collection and always has the newest and most dope new music. The first album I asked my mom to buy me when I was 8 was the ‘license to ill’ cassette. RIP Yauch.
Exactly my story but I was 10 and it was Check Your Head.
My first "big girl" concert was the infamous Madonna one.A pack of wild 11 year old girls & here comes the Beastie Boys.My friend's mom was right outside the arena waiting for us.I still don't know how she even saw anything or what she saw but she ran down to our seats & herded us right back to the car 🤣 I was the only fan of them so I was pissed but I've been rocking with them ever since.They showed out on the Raising Hell tour.
I remember watching this induction. I knew he was fighting cancer. I had no idea how sick he was. I truly hope he realized how much his fans loved him before he passed.
That was my first cassette also bro. That and the Fat Boys
Mike D tearing up at the end got me good 😢
i only just noticed that 😭 my heart hurts rn
Now here's a little story I got to tell about 3 bad brothers you know so well, it started way back in history...
With AD Rock MCA and me Mike D ❤
Been had a little horsie named Paul Revere, just me and my horsie and a quart of beer
Ridin across the land, kickin up sand, sheriffs posses on my tail cuz I’m in demand.
Rest in Peace MCA.
You beastie boys earned this. And as a fan, I thank you for entertaining me from a young age to my mid 30s!

Yauch's passing hit me like a kick in the chest. I remember getting back from my lunch break at work, when a friend of mine texted me the news. We'll never forget you, Adam. #RIPMCA
I saw Beastie Boys and Run DMC way back in the day. As someone who loves all kinds of music it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
Very cool
Me too. Birmingham UK in 1986 with RUN DMC, what a show.
Back when musicians were real. Back when they wrote their own music and could actually perform. True classics. Hell yeah brother.
Together Forever!
This aired on HBO, one day after MCA's death
Yeah it was sad
Marty G Still can’t believe he’s gone. Rest In Peace brother Yauch 💔

I remember.
I attended the ceremony and kept hoping that MCA miraculously was healed and would be there. And then when Mike and Adam got on stage I knew it. I knew Yauch wasn't going to make it. The girl I was with said get over it people die every day. I left to go back home that night.
He was literally dying in the hospital while they were accepting their award.
@@dathorndike4908 I know.
What a shitty thing for her to say! Hope you aren't friends anymore.
Wait. The girl you were with, at the event that involved The Beastie Boys, said "get over it" about MCAs death?
Doubt.
@@Sosozanyway I wish I could say that I was lying but I am not. I am a massive fan of the band so I wanted to be there. I met up with this other fan and we hung out before the ceremony. I expressed my worries about MCA to her and she got annoyed and told me you don't know him, that is life, we all die. I guess that is how she views life. I was supposed to leave the following morning but I caught a flight back home late that night because I felt like we might get into a fight!
Sabotage on letterman is one hell of a 😎 live performance...Yauch is the man !!
One of the dopest rap groups PERIOD!!! r.i.p MCA
tears. RIP YAUCH
In 1984 or 85 I attended the Madonna (Virgin) tour here in Detroit. Beastie Boy’s opened. This was back when they were still a punk band. I loved it. Only problem was the crowd absolutely hated them. First time I’ve ever seen a band get booed off a stage. Probably not an opener for a Madonna crowd. Lol. I vividly remember Ad Rock, MCA, and Mike D) telling the Madonna crowd to fuck off Detroit and they threw their beer’s into the crowd lol. I think they played maybe 3 songs. Crowd didn’t know what they missed. Rip.
When all three awards were put on the podium... but only 2 members of The BB. I choked up. I’ve never seen this clip before, so Thank you for sharing.
How they kept their speeches together while their band mate was dying I have no clue
Its brotherhood. I spoke at my drummers funeral. No tears, never choked up. The car ride home I had never cried so hard in my life. Its just human nature to take over and allow you to do things you didnt think were possible.
maybe they had cried their tears in private and were cried out
Best acceptance speech for anything ever. Two dudes are so humble and down to earth. Really would of loved to see MC A up there with his brothers. R.I.P. MC A, you will always be remembered as a legend
55 down votes? Who dafuq down votes real shit that like?
I’m not even a huge fan and I fucking love the Beasties. The world misses you, MCA.
This is such a tear jerker. Just three boys from NYC.
This was April 14, 2012 - just 20 days later, Adam Yauch died in New York City at age 47 on May 4, 2012.
One of the rare people i have never even met but yet i truly miss, MCA RIP
ikr i usually dont care about celebrity deaths in any real way - but this one deeply touches me
They're Dope, They're Pioneers, They're Legends, Congrats To Them. RIP MCA 🙏
Their beats were some of the sickest beats ever. Wow. BB are one of those groups where you here 3 seconds of the song and you know it’s the BEASTIE BOYS.
I'm a 57 year old woman. I have l the license to Ill album on spotify. Bumped it when it came out, still bumping it today. Seriously just like 5 minutes ago. A true classic. The best
' I'd rather be a hypocrite than the same person forever'

That's wisdom, right there. Can't take it, make it or fake it.
Cheers. Thanks for the music.

Fixed. Words matter.
I'll be turning 50 in a month. This $h!t still makes me want to cry. They were a big part in the expansion of my musical appreciation as a teen.
I couldn't even hold it together while Ad-Rock read Yauch's letter; I have no idea how they did. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That Licensed to Ill LP is one of Hip Hops greatest LP's in history.... every song on that ich was a banger! I still listen to some Beasties today!
No, Licenensed to Ill was most important for crossover. Their second LP, Paul's Boutique, was most important for hiphop. Maybe watch the previous clip of their introduction into the Hall of Fame with Chuck D and LL Cool J - Chuck D explains why.
Licensed to Ill was a great album indeed, but not their best. That's how good and consistent their output was.
What's funny..they were a hardcore punk band making fun of rap on the LICENSED TO ILL album..it hit hard so they ran with it. Go look up old school Beastie Boys..mic drop
@@netrioter I heard that before... one of my white co-workers back in the day told me it was a joke when I said the Beasties was one of the groups I liked. But they did work with DEF Jam to make it so how was it a joke?
@@netrioter they were punk rockers who were obsessed with rap. License to ill was making fun of the pop rock scene, not rap. They'd been doing rap for years before that album came out.
Seriously warms my heart to see these dudes do such an honor to their friend MCA while accepting the biggest award of their career. Will forever love the Beastie Boys! RIP Adam Yauch
I would argue that without these three guys, hip hop would not have been the success it has been to this day. I would also argue that their music is so incredible, it will be shaping the future of hip hop for generations before we all even catch up to where they were.
Good music, really good. Great ? Nah. Not possible when you sample so much of other people’s music.
A little kid in norway in the late 80s put on their record in gym class and became a hero!! Love them then, now and forever! Thanks for your hard work ❤️
10 years ago this made my dads day, he fucking loved beastie boys growin up
rip brother
Adam Yauch was pure class!!! RIP MCA rest easy 🤘♥️😎
RIP ADAM YAUCH ❤❤❤ You were and still are a part of hip hop. #TheBeastieboys MCA 🙏🙏

Mike D gave his kids the best nicknames lol hilarious! Damn I miss Adam. He left behind a daughter and wife and mother and two cool ass brothers! AD rock and Mike D.
God this makes me cry. Rest in paradise MCA.
My childhood. I miss MCA so much you guys 😭💔
Beastie boys are a very talented and a unique Rap group punk rock to hip hop
These guy blew walls down..by being outspoken and fresh..with rhythm energy and smarts
i’m glad to say that i saw these guys in the 1990s . beastie boys music guided me through many growing pains. i love you guys. thanks to nyc for raising these artists. rip mca
This hit me like a brick. The world needs to remember to be humble, be real and be thankful for all the blessings you have received. Its easy to want the best for these guys
Probably the greatest run of any band. 25 years... License to Ill to Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2. A high level throughout.
Don't forget icp . From 1989 to current

Licensed to Ill.
Well deserved. Beastie Boys rock! 🤘🤘🤘
This is so bitter sweet, so deserved, terrible that Yauch was too sick to attend this moment. The Beastie Boys were the soundtrack to my formative years. I remember sneaking out telling my mum I was staying at my friends house and going to watch the Beasties when they were considered hellraisers, my bestie told her folks the same and off we went! We saw them again in 95 after Ill communication came out. It was an incredible experience.
Respect to mix master Mike and MCA. We live the beasties
As a 16yr old in 1986 and working at my 1st job being baskin Robbins, I would close the store at 10pm and blast the beastie boys while cleaning the store. Them, whodini, ll cool j and run dmc!
I’m 48 old and Beastie Boys were my favorite band forever ❤
Fan for 30 plus years. Fan for life.
I just finished Beastie Boys Book and I pray that even one person reading this goes and buys it.
If you are a fan, it is ESSENTIAL.
I couldn't put it down.
Even better if you listen to it on Audible!
I saw Beastie Boy at Lollapalooza 94. I just remember thinking after watching them do Watcha Want, Sabotage, and Gratitude. How the heck is anyone going to beat that? Well Smashing Pumpkins were under whelming and Billy Corgan was talking about how he had sex and was a rock star and his band was pretty much asleep for their set.
RIP MCA, I still miss you, thank you for my early teen years! To those of you thumbs down. Have some repect for them.
They knew Yauch was on the edge of death. I don't know how they made it through this.
They did it for him as well.
thinking they cried their tears other times so they were cried out. also, death is always with us but we still have to celebrate too
You can see the hurt on their faces and in their eyes, the pain of knowing MCA is dying as they speak.
"Rest in Love and Music MCA!!" ❤🙏💯🎵
I love they give so much props to their influence. I think most hip hop fans would have loved to grow up in New York throughout the 80's and 90's
These guys just take me back to my childhood. RIP, Adam Yauch
AdRock was always my favorite, but much love to MCA... RIP.
Simply Amazing. MCA will ALWAYS be in our hearts and minds. Thank you Beastie Boys for such great childhood memories.
I really appreciate how
Mike D and Ad Rock
Express there growing up and listening
To all theses musical genres
Beastie Boys # 1
I am a total Hip Hop head, I grew up with the Beastie Boys and I can't watch this without a lump in my throat. The best and worst day of their career at the same time.
Rap music would not be the same without them.
The Beasties used to go down to Rock clubs in the early 80s where it was full on Rock and Punk scene. There is where the Beastie boys heard the first hip hop records being played over the loud speakers. it's crazy to think that in clubs where it was mainly Rock, they would play Hip Hop to rock fans. That's rock for you, they bring exposure to things that mainstream media wouldn't necessarily be covering. This is coming full circle for them tho, starting as a punk band and then evolving into a hip hop group. well deserved. RIP to MCA (Adam Yauch) and may the boys carry on their legacy any which way they can. Rock on \m/
Nightclub DJs have only one job - to keep people dancing. It's the ultimate meritocracy. If your record makes people dance, it gets played. In the 80s, it could have been U2, Michael Jackson, David Bowie or Grandmaster Flash. Back to back to back. Great era (but maybe I'm biased).
Most Punk fans loved Rap because it went against the norm.

Great alt band.
Where would Beck, Rage Against the Machine, Cypress Hill be without them.
They also influenced numetal.
Again great alt band.
It’s pretty sad and ignorant if anyone gave them a thumbs down but I don’t see a thumbs down on this video. These guys are great human beings on top of what they did for music. The world needs more good people. I just watched the speeches from Chuck D and LL, and they were incredible. Chuck is brilliant in general and LL is an amazing and smart dude. So much respect for these 2 legends and they’re the perfect dudes to honor the Beastie Boys.
reppin NYC till the break of dawn, they deserve a place in the city
RIP MCA, love the beastie boys and always will
I was lucky enough to see them in 1999 one of the best shows I’ve ever been to rip mca
The In The Round tour was amazing. I saw them in Birmingham on that tour and it's still one of my top five gigs.
Same😢
Adam Yauch, humanitarian and musician. RIP
I'm a dad of three kids ages 10,11, and 13. My job as a dad is to guide, disciple my children to be impactful adults, also exposing them to culture, art and music. You best believe the Beasties boys are on that list for real Hip Hop. RIP MCA!!
I feel the love in that room.
The beastie boys are iconic hip hop legends without a doubt....FACTS...
I wore my license to ill cassette out!!!! Still know all the words to Paul Reveere. I always loved MCA's voice. RIP
3 MC's and 1 DJ!!!!!🥺 now 2
Beastie Boys are part of my Hip Hop heart. Growing up listening to them in the Golden Age of Hip Hop in the early eighties molded me towards my love of the artform. I cried when Ad-Rock read MCA's words.
Dude had a Nuclear Assault shirt on. My first intro to music was Beastie Boys back in 86... I then moved on to thrash metal and NA was one of the first bands I listened to and liked from that genre. Awesome!
My all-time favorite group. I miss them, but I can always hear them.
I remember being in junior high when licensed to Ill came out and I was like whattttttt. Then I remember being a freshman in college when check your head came out and I was like what?!!!! Now they’re Rapping AND playing their own instruments?!
These guys are absolute legends.
Rest In Peace MCA.❤
Peace and Love to Mike D and AD Rock
The Beasties were always my favorite rap band.
When they came out I heard a voice in my head: THE BEASTIE BOYYYYYS ARE FINALLY HOOOOME! R.I.P MCA.
MCA WE LOVE AND MISS YOU! I REMEMBER BUYING MY FIRST CASSETTE IN THE 80s AS A CHILD. IT WAS BEASTIE BOYS FIRST ALBUM. I LITERALLY WORE THAT TAPE OUT TIL IT WOULDN'T PLAY ANYMORE. LOVE YOU ALL. YOU GUYS ARE A TRUE MUSICAL INSPIRATION AND GIFT TO THE WORLD!!!
Me too. First cassette I owned. Listened to it on my new Walkman Christmas morning, but I already had it all memorized from the kids playing it on the school bus every day.
Beastie Boys are the only rap group that deserve to be in the hall of fame, because they actually played rock music.
Beastie Boys are classic, no need for any Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Longtime fan with them and Run DMC.
One of the most unique bands ever.
One of the pioneers of rap that kept the fire burning all these years.
As you can see from this speech extremely intelligent bunch of guys.
I remember Ad Rock saying after MCA died that he had us fooled in the best way. I remember the emails from Oscope asking people to pray at the same time at a certain hour all together and send healing energy. I think at the time of this ceremony, we were all in disbelief that he'd actually die. He was so positive and forward thinking...it just seemed impossible at that moment. Miss his voice in the world so much!
The letter at the end broke me. RIP Adam.
There's my childhood getting recognized!
What an incredible career. It’s hard to live in a world without all three Beasties.
Beastie Boys are legends of rock and rap!!!!
So sad Adam couldn't be there and celebrate with his boys...😭
He was sick and in the hospital ..... dying.

Your message seemed like - you didn’t...
He treated his cancer based on Buddhist bs. A shame he didn’t go with standard medical practices, the legend may well still be here today. His choice of course but a sad end to a legendary group.
@Robert Anthony - yeah ok buttercup, i'll remain misinformed. I'm in no way a medical expert but from my personal experience, I'll stick with modern medicine over natural remedies when it comes to fighting the big c. Chemo and radiation treatment are brutal that is a given, but if it gives you a fighting chance to spend more time with ones you love, why wouldn't you give it a crack? Funnily enough I've known a number of people that have opted for natural treatments, and in every instance it ended quickly. I know more who have chosen modern medicine and low and behold most extended their lives for a minimum of 5 years with a majority in full remission and still walking this earth today. You do you and stick to your kale smoothies and hippy oil remedies when the time comes to fight it, let us know how it pans out.
