1981 is when they released the Pollywog Stew EP, and their final album came out 2011. Yauch died in 2012, but Mike D and Adrock have still been doing things together, like making the Beastie Boys Book, Beastie Boys Story live documentary....
MCA Brooklyn the other two Manhattan. The all got together in the downtown hardcore/punk scene. AdRock gave Rick Ruben LL Cool J demo tape and wrote the beat for his first song I Need a Beat. They were part of rap before rap became an industry.
My favorite lines are back to back: Now AD Rock... and MCA... let’s rock this joint in the old school way! Well I’m onnn... till the crack of dawn. Mowin down MCs like I’m mowin the lawn!
Yes, they were all from New York. Brooklyn and Manhattan. They met each other going to punk shows. The Beastie Boys first EP was a hardcore punk album (though still with the humor they brought later to hip hop). Their first attempt at hip hop was a song called Cooky Puss released in 1983. It's basically a prank call recorder over a drum machine and samples, but it was popular in New York clubs. They ended up meeting Rick Rubin and initially hired him as their DJ to play during their sets (which were a mix of hardcore punk and their new rap songs). Rick and Russel Simmons were friends and formed Def Jam. The rest is history. I guess it's worth saying that they spent a lot of time in LA. It's where they recorded 3 of their albums, including this one.
The Beasties came out of the punk scene before they went hip hop and the d.i.y. aesthetic stayed strong with them. On their come-up they where more likely to be shopping at used clothes stores or a Salvation Army than any expensive brand's boutique. Their style was more about expressing themselves than trying to impress others with drip or bling.
Still back in the day the real mcs didn’t talk about that garbage at all, and if not to be sport wear it was not a thing to flash what matters less, Adidas and puma and every brand after became more relative cause it was part of the movement, and the fashion was about street wear and urban - brands believe it ore not , flashing. Comes from the gay community sorry folks
You know what word we did not use back in the 80s punk scene? DIY, that's what. We snagged clothes at Goodwill because we that's where we'd been getting our clothes SINCE WE WERE KIDS. There was no "DIY aesthetic", and the idea that there was is complete bullshit invented by fakers and Nirvana fans. We did it ourselves because we grew up doing everything ourselves, because it's cheaper and simpler to do it yourself.
RIP MCA 2012 Yeah, they are from NYC - Adam 'MCA' Yauch from Brooklyn Michael 'MikeD' Diamond & Adam 'AdRock' Horowitz from Manhattan They vowed, after the passing of Yauch, that they wouldn't be making any new music. They did have the two projects, that have kept them busy the last few years... The AppleTV movie/rock-umentary : The Beastie Boys Story - produced by Spike Jonez & the amazing autobiography "Stromboli Pizza" the Beastie Boys book. Their latter DJ, MixMaster Mike, has kept busy, and has now been making the rounds on RUclips, checking out and promoting all the reaction channels that have been showcasing Beastie Boys reactions. Which, I think is super cool. He is as laid back, and down to Earth, as they come. Very generous of him, and will also help expose a new generation of B-Boy fans. As a devout, and lifelong fan, I'm gonna drop a few other songs below... To consider for reaction : ( deep cuts, that most haven't done yet, and are certainly worthy ) Finger Lickin Good Car Thief Shadrach Alive Skills To Pay The Bills Be sure to tell my Mom, all my homework has been completed. 👍 Great Reaction ! My fave line from this song .... "What's going thru my mind. . . . Comes out in my walk" ( And, as a little insight, MCA was the driving force behind the group, as a whole. )
All of the lines in this song are my favorite and I swear I know them all, but one of my favorites that really standout is, "and give thanks for inspiration".
One interesting detail, what the old school hanged from they’re neck weren’t Diamonds , it was the part of a expensive car you broke off it and stole , as a sign of discontent with capitalism and what it brings , today hip hop strands for most of the things it starting fighting against , informing ore wanting to change , and u can still hear the lack of poetry importance and individual flow on new artists

School it’s not good ether by the way - deconstruct and reconstruct! Don’t take it personal it’s history talking not me, and thank god for those black life’s matter who woke up the rest ‘
Another thing I really like about Beastie Boys is that they sampled from everywhere. At a time when most hip hop artists were still sampling James Brown and funk/soul music (which is great) the Beastie's were doing that but they were also sampling from Hardcore bands like Bad Brains or The Damned. Not too many people were sampling punk to make hip hop. It was great. This song, Pass The Mic, sampled Bad Brains guitar riff from their song "Big Take Over"
@@remo2196 Wat? They were on the same label as Agnostic Front. At least Cookie Puss was... I didn't have a copy of PollyWog Stew, but I stole a copy of CP from Boston College Radio's library
I think when he says if you're true to yourself, you will never fall, what he's saying is that even if you "fall", you haven't completely "fallen" if you've remained true to your ideals.
One of my favorite things about this song is the line where Mike D says "Well, everybody's rapping like it's a commercial, Actin' like life is a big commercial" Mike D got a lot of slack for rhyming commercial with commercial, but the story goes that the line was suppose to say "Well, everybody's rapping like it's a commercial, Actin' like life is a big REHEARSAL" but when Mike D was recording it he fucked up and said 'commercial" twice, but Adam and Adam wouldn't let him fix it, just to fuck with him. .....so every time I hear that line I smile cause it sounds like shit me and my friends would do to each other.
So many great lines in this song it's hard to pick one. My favorite line is "And now I'd like to pass the mic, to AdRock c'mon and do anything you like.
I had the profound honor to meet the Beastie Boys when they were mixing this record, at their studio they'd recently built in Los Angeles (Grand Royal). It was in a pretty nondescript, out of the way area called Atwater Village (you would never know it was there, from the outside you'd probably assume it was just generic run down office space), and if I had to guess was used for a lot of the locations in this vid, especially the opening scene that looks like a fire escape. But more importantly--they had a pretty gnarly skate ramp IN THE STUDIO.
Yep. The studio under the G. I used to hang out down the block at my Aunts sub shop. I met MCA and Mike D a few times. I hung out with Mario and Adrock a few times a week. I remember first meeting Money Mark when he was helping build the place. It's crazy that they met the way they did. He's all over those albums.
And my favorite line is either "Well, everybody's rapping like it's a commercial, Actin' like life is a big commercial" or "M.I.K.E to the D, You come and see me and you pay fee"
Yeah, couldn't agree more about MCA. I kind of thought they were a joke when Licensed to Ill came out, then Paul's Boutique changed the game for me. Saw them live in 2007 and hands down it was the best show I've ever seen. And MCA was always the one who shined for me - voice, rhyme schemes, cadence, beat riding, and he had a lot of substance in his rhymes as the years went by. I won't lie, I teared up when he passed.
This takes me back to riding the team bus to games & jamming the Beasties to get us hyped! Awesome reaction my friend. Please consider adding Nightwish performing Storytime live at Wacken 2013 (official live video) to your list. Thanks:)

Been a fan since '85 when they came out. Check out "flute loop" or "sure shot". If you want something funky and out there, but really good, "Paul's Boutique", as an album, is something that is COMPLETELY different. "Check your head" was the next one around 1990 and started involving dj hurricane and guests. "ILL Communication" was '92 or '93. Q-tip and other friends popped in and that album was nuts. As long as people understand going in that the beasties came into hip-hop in '85 and realized they were also musicians from another universe,then you'll get it. It's all about fun and truth.
I watched the interview after MCA passed. Where Adrock in Mike D both said MCA was kind of the leader of the band, even though there was no leader of the band.
No new member ever came. They’ve had more than one DJ, DJ hurricane, Mix Master Mike, the OTHER Dr. Dre, Rick Rubin- they had a drummer that they were friends with, but she quit. But they’ve never had another Beasty boy
I second this completely. I know he has to pause occasionally but maybe at the cadences and only like four or five times max. It is EXTREMELY annoying.
They are from Manhattan, that’s MCA, the other two are from Brooklyn. NYC of course. Without what they were exposed to in New York, The beastie boys would probably not exist, or not in this form.
I believe Mike D is trying to say that, even if things don't work out the way in which you want, it's okay. You can learn to deal with it and move on because you stayed true to yourself. You value certain things about life and you don't compromise them. Failure's just a lesson. In that way you can "never fall". I think.
Yo, just because u say u are speaking the truth, don't mean that it is near to the truth. Just ur opinion.Let's agree to this, you're 1 of the best reviewers that I can find, plus I love your opinions dude, keep it coming 👍
This official music video has a different version of the track, compared to the album version, which is 100% superior. I love in the music video though when Mike D says "everybody rapping like its a commercial", and the gold VW hubcab is spinning, its a reference to how during the Licensed to Ill days Mike D would wear the VW emblem necklace, acting like a big shot, their fans stealing them from peoples cars....and now they've matured and dont need that stuff.
I understand your reflexion about the "true to your self" line, but I must say that I think that it is still true. Maybe if you (with you meaning anyone") are not "true to your self" can succeed in the music "business", even things could be even easier to get it if you just give what the people or better say "the market" wants. But the end result we always be a failure, it will not be art, it will be just product, comercial stuff that means nothing. Every artist knows how hard it is to be true to your mind and your talent, to express something meaningful and been able to get a living, but we must try anyway if what we want is to make art that we really love and not another kind of thing.
The story I heard was these 3 guys were all students when they met at Juilliard. Juilliard is a world famous performing arts school in NYC. They could have been actors on Broadway or played classical music in a symphony. They chose Hip Hop.
Yea. Because the end of videos is what usually gets claimed to the point where the video gets blocked and I can’t post it. (Behind the scenes RUclips shit) 🤦🏾♂️
A rapper is just that. Usually if you’re just a rapper you have many ghost writers, you don’t care to elevate you’re craft. And a MC is an artist that really wants to push themselves to be better lyrically and push the whole genre. (That’s just the opinion of some talented artist that I work with and myself)
Well first off it’s a reaction channel, if you wanna watch the video itself, you can go to that video. Secondly, RUclips has blocked a lot of my videos, so it’s either pause and have more to say or mute the music. Which muting the music would defeat the whole purpose.
@@shakashinereacts I get the blocking thing and that its a reaction video. I watch reaction videos all the time. It was just frustrating, the stopping after, or during, every single bar in the beginning. It loses any sense of musical flow. That ain't so it doesn't get blocked. But hey, do your thing.

Good review. You should watch the Beastie Boys story on Apple - great insight into the band, the history of hip hop, and friendship.
It would make a good reaction video.

Good to see the new generation appreciating and understanding how great old hip hop like this was. Something that's truly missing today
They were rated the best live show in the world. Plus they each play drums, bass and guitar, not just rappers
"But for now, I'd like to ask you how you like the feel of the base in your face in the crowd?"

So many great lines in this song it's hard to pick one. My favorite line is
"And now I'd like to pass the mic, to AdRock c'mon and do anything you like.
Hhheeelllooooooooooooo Brooklyn!
A lot of people overlook how good the shot of Mike D in the VW hubcap is.
Not at the time. If you were into music videos or hip hop in the early 90s, that's an iconic shot.
They needed each other but MCA was like the big brothe of the family. They were intergrated and could never work alone.
Yo that line "Dynamite" it's from a TV show back in the 70s called Good Times and that was J.J. Walkers catchphrase on the show
I definitely respect how you break down some of their lyrics and keep it real. Good shit

Please sir could you react to The Smiths - Paint a Vulgar Picture
MCA has more of a modern flow as a rapper
What's the difference between a rapper and a mc?
A rapper is just that. Usually if you’re just a rapper you have many ghost writers, you don’t care to elevate you’re craft. And a MC is an artist that really wants to push themselves to be better lyrically and push the whole genre.
(That’s just the opinion of some talented artist that I work with and myself)

Well first off it’s a reaction channel, if you wanna watch the video itself, you can go to that video.
Secondly, RUclips has blocked a lot of my videos, so it’s either pause and have more to say or mute the music. Which muting the music would defeat the whole purpose.
@@shakashinereacts I get the blocking thing and that its a reaction video. I watch reaction videos all the time. It was just frustrating, the stopping after, or during, every single bar in the beginning. It loses any sense of musical flow. That ain't so it doesn't get blocked. But hey, do your thing.
You need to take your hood down bruh to listen to music RESPECTFULLY
Your intro needs some work.
Let me know this....
Let me know that....
Brilliant...yes
But 100% annoying AF
You're stopping at way too much and it kills the momentum of the song
