It's so fucking legit, he steals the show. Though the beat is so tight that it would make even an average performance sound lit, there's a reason freakinh Beck of all people sampled it.
I'm honestly probably up to about 60 views myself on this one... I love this live version even more than the LP version! It's too bad the Boys were lip-syncing on many of their other youtube videos of live performances from earlier in their careers... You can tell in videos like their Soul Train performance that they really weren't into lip-syncing, they looked totally disinterested... This Arsenio performance however, that shit was EPIC!
I remember staying up late to watch this. I'm still speechless over the amazingness that is the Beastie Boys, DJ Hurricane & Cypress Hill. 25+yrs later thats still my favorite remix...still have the CD.
nothing more to say since everyone else said how epic this is. but this kind of energy on a TV stage, you never see any more... adrock bouncing like he's on a trampoline floor, seriously... brooklyn's finest - beastie & cypres...
I saw them play together at a small club called the building in NYC right before the beasties blew up for the second time. Tickets were sold out and we gave up and were walking away I was crushed. A guy then asked us if we wanted tickets. I thought it was a scam. I said there's a line a street long with people with no tickets why you want to sell to us. He said he works back stage has them and doesn't care to see the show. He sold them to us for ten dollars. A true life miracle. A clip from that show was in one of their videos I think it was pass the mic. Also that corny group young black teenagers who had a song tap the bottle were in the audience that night.
I bet…I’m curious of the 1000’s (amongst 100’s) of curated playlist you’ve handpicked (clicked+dragged) over your years….’90s Beasties’ / ‘New Beasties’ / ‘Best of Beasties-01’
“Well, I’m cooler than a cucumber in a bowl of hotsauce” MCA had the smoothest lyrics. Like “Like a dream I’m flowin’ without no stoppin. Sweeter than a cherry pie with Ready Whip toppin’”
Ad-Rock might have seemed too hype, but I noticed at 1:42 he runs backstage to chug some water. He probably had a sore throat or something and it was messing with his vocals.
he sounded like this for every live show between 92-95. it was just his style. that's why he keeps his hand on the actual mic too i bet, to keep the volume down lol.
I remember when I was a kid staying up until 1 a.m. every night to watch Arsenio Hall. This came out when I was 11. It's so dope that Cypress Hill came out for this!
Imagine how awesome this would sound if someone had recorded the audio from the mixer. The audio on this, sounds like they recorded the whole building. There's no compression and the low freqs require a lot of boosting. Even so, this performance kicks.
Apparently Hurricane and Cypress Hill weren't supposed to be included but the Beasties hooked them up with Mics anyway, and subsequently got a lifetime ban from the show lol.
I have an 8yo and 2yo daughter that I've introduced to the Beastie Boys music, and they absolutely love it! It's awesome to hear my little 2yo girl walking around the house going "Foot on the pedal never ever false metal..." she can sing the first verse of No Sleep til Brooklyn flawlessly... Anyway, we also LOVE watching this performance on Arsenio, so hype! PS- I don't teach them the more inappropriate songs/verses, not that the Beasties were ever all that vulgar.
That's how you show love. NYC guys bringing on Cali homies on a show spot in LA. Giving Cypress that national attention. Then again this remix is actually official so it wasn't like they did it just for the Arsenio performance.
Damn i miss this. There was a fuckin reason he was the KING AdRock. On HSC his style isn't quite as screamy as it once was, but they're still the best ever!!
ADROCK IS NEVER TOO HYPE
YALL ARE PETTY
"Hyped." Speak English, moron.
bassage13 stfu
Ad rock is daddy as fuck
he is MENTAL in this video. iconic.
Nobody gonna talk about Hurricane’s verse? Shits straight🔥
I wish there was a Studio version with Hurricane because that flow was on another level
It's so fucking legit, he steals the show. Though the beat is so tight that it would make even an average performance sound lit, there's a reason freakinh Beck of all people sampled it.
The Hurra
He's doing a version of Now You Do, but just really is it's own thing cuz The Hurra can smoke fools
@@stephenwolfram356 damn can you send me the link to this?
“Yo, suckers write me checks and then they bounce, so I reach into my pocket for the fresh amount”. That’s top 5 of my favorite lines in rap history.
I personally like "I'll stir fry you in my wok" myself
Still fresh and relevant and if people aren’t down with it might be a chin check.
@@sblagg527 def this
Yo pops caught you smokin' an he says no way , that Hypocrite smokes 2 packs a day . Lmao
I personally derive a lot of pleasure from Mike D saying “I’m down with Mike D and it ain’t no baloney!”
I have watched this probably around 60 times.
60?? Before breakfast!
ha ha I think I've seen it that many times also, a sick performance
edit: 300 times

You don't see stuff like this on TV anymore...this was epic.

judoknowjudo what's the name of this version ?or the instrumental it changes up to .I never heard it this way.
DOOMERSANDSKULLS this is the soul assassins remix off of the root down EP
The Soul Assassin remix is in the Check Your Head album too.
It’s only on the deluxe edition of the album and it came from the “So What’Cha Want” single with a few other remixes and songs.
That smooth music that comes on when MCA says “I’m as cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce”
Which might be his best line in their entire catalog, hot as an ice burn!
nothing more to say since everyone else said how epic this is. but this kind of energy on a TV stage, you never see any more... adrock bouncing like he's on a trampoline floor, seriously... brooklyn's finest - beastie & cypres...
Cypress is from L.A. but yeah man, great combo.
Mike D and Ad Rock always try to match each others energy , makes it dope 💯
It's 2017 and I dress exactly like MCA.
It's 2019 and I dress exactly like Adrock
It's 2020 and I dress exactly like Mike D
2020 and I dress like B Real. No visine just a lil bit of afro sheen!
2020 here and I'm dressing like Adrock in 1987
It's 1979 and I'm lost. Can somebody lend me 40 bucks? I want to go home...
Now THIS is Hip-hop.
…at most this is ‘interesting’; mostly ‘catchy’…but “THIS is Hip-hop.”…uhhh…you should listen to more ‘ Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones’.
This is the greatest thing on RUclips.
This is mandatory viewing at least once a week
Agreed!
could not agree more
asi es!
Alarm Clock Sample
( I don't use alarm clocks but I probably would set this for around 1pm just to get part of the day used up)
damn right
3:27 That beats dope asf!
Alx Draven69 Soul Assassin’s remix
Hurra is a beast! So underrated
💯! When I saw the Beastie Boys in 1994, Hurricane did the song "Elbow Room" from his solo album, "The Hurra". He's a talented man.
I loved "Elbow Room"!!
NYC's finest. Back then we thought MCA was Black...his voice was so raw....RIP MCA
When I was little, MCA was scary...thought he would probably beat me up if I met him...(I was 12 and bullied a lot in 1987.)
Oh my god. I taped this on VHS then hooked up the tape deck and dubbed. Gave it to 50 friends. I used to live on this, brings back good memories
This takes me back! The peak of Beastie Boys, and Cyprus Hill, whaa??? At their best!

This is by far the BEST version of this unique live performance EVER. Thanks Porkys1982 for bringin' it up!
These guys are so amazing. The little jump back and forth section at 2:03 goes so hard. And Hurricane killed it!
Awesome seeing Beastie Boys collaboration with Cypress Hill. Classic 👍
how much i love to read it
omg Adrock is getting soo buckwild.
2:06 gotta love mike and ad-rock spazzing tf out meanwhile mca’s just vibing 😆😆
So sick, so dope, so ill! RIP Adam "MCA" Yauch!
Still listening to this in 2024!
I bet…I’m curious of the 1000’s (amongst 100’s) of curated playlist you’ve handpicked (clicked+dragged) over your years….’90s Beasties’ / ‘New Beasties’ / ‘Best of Beasties-01’
5:20 "you must be talking about grunge" XD
“Well, I’m cooler than a cucumber in a bowl of hotsauce” MCA had the smoothest lyrics. Like “Like a dream I’m flowin’ without no stoppin. Sweeter than a cherry pie with Ready Whip toppin’”
Respect to everyone on that stage but The King Ad-Rock was really something. His energy was insane.
No autotune. These guys are the real deal no fake gimmicks.
who else caught their f bomb? god i love them
Omg!! Just discovered this performance, so amazing ❤️
Ad-Rock might have seemed too hype, but I noticed at 1:42 he runs backstage to chug some water. He probably had a sore throat or something and it was messing with his vocals.
he sounded like this for every live show between 92-95. it was just his style. that's why he keeps his hand on the actual mic too i bet, to keep the volume down lol.
i remember watching this on its original broadcast. after all these years its still dope.
The performance the sound and The camerawork was amazing.💯💯💯💯
The drop by Hurricane is sooo good! Makes this tune sounds even more badass than it already is.
This performance gives me the chills. I love it so much lol
Beasties are my heroes
Some classic raw hiphop
I remember when I was a kid staying up until 1 a.m. every night to watch Arsenio Hall. This came out when I was 11. It's so dope that Cypress Hill came out for this!
I got to say it. Hurricane is filthy. Beasties are the best Rock and Rap group.
MCA will always be my favourite BB -
But God DAMMIT if Adrock doesn’t completely and UTTERLY steal the show here. That entrance ALONE man! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Now this is god damn fuck perfect.
Perfuckingfection.
You may like or not that kind of music but this is fucking EPIC!!! Hall of fame.
Imagine how awesome this would sound if someone had recorded the audio from the mixer.
The audio on this, sounds like they recorded the whole building.
There's no compression and the low freqs require a lot of boosting.
Even so, this performance kicks.
I love how chill MCA is while Adam and Mike are frantically jumping around lol
Cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce….literally
Apparently Hurricane and Cypress Hill weren't supposed to be included but the Beasties hooked them up with Mics anyway, and subsequently got a lifetime ban from the show lol.
Back when Rappers had talent.

My dude Porkys1982 is by far the biggest Beastie Boys fan that ever lived. So much great stuff on this page.
This was amazing. Watched it live as a kid.
In my mid 50s loving and looking bk we had a great generation!
Classic......i made my nephew watch them perform live before he took up the mic...
One of my fav live performances of this song
Nice to see Hurricane get a verse!
Ben, you're a legend. DIG this. Never seen it before. PEACE.

They brought out all the stops!! B real, hurri, this was unbelievable
This was one of the beast Arsenio performances ever!
3:27 i love how they move their body to the beat :))
I have an 8yo and 2yo daughter that I've introduced to the Beastie Boys music, and they absolutely love it! It's awesome to hear my little 2yo girl walking around the house going "Foot on the pedal never ever false metal..." she can sing the first verse of No Sleep til Brooklyn flawlessly...

That's how you show love. NYC guys bringing on Cali homies on a show spot in LA. Giving Cypress that national attention. Then again this remix is actually official so it wasn't like they did it just for the Arsenio performance.
This is freaking awesome and yo suckers you aint seeing anything like this ever again absolutely brilliant
