It doesn't matter what anyones opinion of his remarkable speech is, the fact that he had the decency and courage to stand up for what HE 'no doubt' believed in and humanity is nothing short of amazing. RIP in 2018.
This is exactly why Adam's passing is such a loss. Adam and the Boys used every chance they have been alotted to express their passionate views. What a treasure he was. I'm so thankful for the work he did but terribly sad he lost his battle against cancer.
In the 1999 VMAs, he spoke up against the rape and SH that happened at Woodstock 99. He wanted artists to create a safe space for women and girls. And Chris Rock made a lame joke after that.
Imagine he said this today. People would be like “OHHH he’s a CeLeBrItY he’s so oUt Of ToUcH why do musicians have to get political blah blah blah. I applaud people with a platform speaking out for what’s right.
Beastie boys called out the people blaming and attacking Asians when Covid started spreading. Idiots started getting upset that they were getting "political." As an Asian American, I really respected them for that and this was before I got into their music. Now that I dig their music, I love them even more seeing this stuff. Richard Gere did something similar when he spoke against what China was doing to Tibet, but his career sadly was damaged.
right on man. i remember seeing this live and it was a powerful move then and still is. thats spreading love instead of the other. on in to the next... thats a bright light that we need to keep lit. ultimate love and respect MCA
wow dude, he was speaking his mind. thats as real as you can get. if you cant speak your mind on public tv in america, then i dont want to fucking live here anymore.
One world one humanity. Given the BB's intelligent openness to and creative sampling of all forms of music it makes sense his conscience would compel him to condemn indiscriminate violence against any country.
Every 9/11 I think of this video. I was a punk kid when I saw it live. It stuck with me then & honestly it didn't surprise me when 9/11 happened except that it took so long after our involvement in the M.E. since the early 90s. I love living in the USA, tho I love history too. I hope we stop getting involved in places with cultures we don't understand because I really don't want this history to repeat itself
This is sad REAL HIP HOP artists are passing away & giving honest opinions like what EMcees normally do! & we're stuck with these wack fake rappers who talk about ignorant shit! damn i miss u hip hop =( sleep in heaven MCA
The Beastie Boys have never condoned violence and they were always respectful, so hearing this isn't a big surprise. However, MCA had a really good message. Don't create problems with an entire nation of people just because a few extremists went nuts. Think about the innocents before you make an ass of yourself, America.
We may have opposing views on a political party but Adam was a Buddhist &wanted nothing but peace. Not many people in this world can say they've met with the Dahli Lama 3 times. Adam was so true to his passion in trying to right what was wrong but always in a peaceful manner. Not surprised, but always disappointed, to find how divided American people are. I feel sorry for people trapped in their partisanship that they feel compelled to overlook logic. Jingo is a good word for you to know.
so to be clear, what you're saying is: if you dont like the fact that america is racist, you should leave? yeah that's what i did, actually. happily leaving in canada for the past three years.
Never condoned violence? Have you ever listened to Paul's Boutique? Perhaps it's "only lyrics", but those lyrics certainly can have an affect on young minds.
And all things aside, all art should be seen as so and just that, not an instruction manual to life and how to act. Young minds shouldn't be listening to Paul's Boutique, so it is the person in charge's fault for them catching any bad lessons.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 RIP MCA
Dude was something else, we need more bands like Beastie Boys now more than ever, and we really need people like Adan Yauch now more than we ever did.
Truth
It doesn't matter what anyones opinion of his remarkable speech is, the fact that he had the decency and courage to stand up for what HE 'no doubt' believed in and humanity is nothing short of amazing. RIP in 2018.
damn MCA knew what was up.
This is exactly why Adam's passing is such a loss. Adam and the Boys used every chance they have been alotted to express their passionate views. What a treasure he was. I'm so thankful for the work he did but terribly sad he lost his battle against cancer.
A true legend! RIP MCA

Yeah Chris rock is so irritating.
3 years before 9/11 no less.
????????
God bless him. True New Yorker and humanitarian. May god rest his soul.
I have to watch this at least every couple of months.
The rest of his band are so supportive... Really beautiful
OMG I miss him it hurts.
2023 this message is still true.
and nobody listened

Yauch spoke his mind and he's right
Rip Yauch
Damn they kept it real all the way back then.
Imagine he said this today. People would be like “OHHH he’s a CeLeBrItY he’s so oUt Of ToUcH why do musicians have to get political blah blah blah. I applaud people with a platform speaking out for what’s right.

The whole world needs more of this right now .

RIP MCA
Still right. MCA ❤
true OG
wow dude, he was speaking his mind. thats as real as you can get. if you cant speak your mind on public tv in america, then i dont want to fucking live here anymore.
Damn things have changed... Did you move away yet?
Say what you feel, feel what you say.
Legends never die!
That was 1998. After that a history.
Wow is it just me or does this message hit particularly hard in 2021
Really hard. The 🐐
Adam Yauch 🙌 preaching until now
One world one humanity. Given the BB's intelligent openness to and creative sampling of all forms of music it makes sense his conscience would compel him to condemn indiscriminate violence against any country.
I miss MCA like ..madness..he was the epitome of Peace...and my love
Respect

Happy birthday MCA
MCA was a real one.
Oh..and you BE CRAZY!!! MCA my politician and my peace maker and very very smart..my love 💕
I'll always be sad that he left too soon.
RIP
And here we are again. :-(
True words. Respect. What a loss.

RIP LEGEND
So much for that
Legend
RIPMCA
well said!
That’s why they are the goats 🐐
Shame they cut his speech on reruns
We may have opposing views on a political party but Adam was a Buddhist &wanted nothing but peace. Not many people in this world can say they've met with the Dahli Lama 3 times. Adam was so true to his passion in trying to right what was wrong but always in a peaceful manner.

after he passed away God knew his views on life !!!!
Love them. They never turned into aholes. MCA gone too soon. We lost out on what he would have put out in the universe.
He didn't know that 6 months later US would start to hit bombs in Serbia... It's really disastrous.
this was BEFORE 9/11
Legendary,. Check the new public enemy album out,.
Just how it felt to me. Good message though for sure.
Free Palestine. He knew what was up even then
PAAAAAAAAAAA MCA SAW THE FUTURE WTF 1998 HOT SUMMER FROM HELL
You're right
Now watching this on the 20th anniversary of 9/11
there's no money in peace.
Adam sleep in jah ❤
Does he not realize his people started that conflict in the United States was only backing them up???
i know right? And Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Henry Kissinger...still fucking alive.
Madness
1:30 MCA
kill war
and then.....9/11
RIP Mike D (for when he dies).
Aw, c'mon, how is it out of place?
And we give them power and attention to spew out their anti-intelletucal rhetoric that hurts America
THEY WERE SO MUCH BETTER THAN EMINEM!
And then 9/11 happened
Don’t read much do ya
How do you know he had a good soul? I really didn't get to know this group. He seems like a good person.
dick cheney's dying, he doesnt have long to live.
Man, RUclips comments suck so bad.
hahahaha thats funny.
HIPPIE
so to be clear, what you're saying is: if you dont like the fact that america is racist, you should leave? yeah that's what i did, actually. happily leaving in canada for the past three years.
Never condoned violence? Have you ever listened to Paul's Boutique? Perhaps it's "only lyrics", but those lyrics certainly can have an affect on young minds.
most of those songs they never again performed, they were kids at the time
And all things aside, all art should be seen as so and just that, not an instruction manual to life and how to act. Young minds shouldn't be listening to Paul's Boutique, so it is the person in charge's fault for them catching any bad lessons.
I wished I hadn't seen this.. wtf
That took balls, but I dunno man, seems out of place.
Fuck you bud
