    50 year old New Yorker, African American woman 👋🏽... I've watched several Beastie Boys reaction videos...
    Something that always surprises me is that many don't seem to realize that in this video (also Sabotage and a few others) the very dated, "campy" effects were totally intentional. It was intended to be humorous and capture the esthetic of the 70s, early 80s Godzilla tv shows etc. Also, as far as rhyming style... I don't think the Beastie boys were interested in becoming "relevant" by following rap trends. I always felt the BB were very loyal to the roots of Hip Hop and keeping that old school origin style alive. I enjoyed watching your individual reactions 👍🏽👍🏽.

      @@justanotherdayinthelife9841 Just a thought...
      Having watched quite a few of these reaction channels... I think it's just a matter of you had to be there. Like the era in which the music, music video was made. Like whatever the culture was at that particular time is hard to perceive if you are from a different generation. I also find (no judgment at all) that sometimes people have a hard time wrapping their heads around nyc culture... and what it was like. It was definitely niche I think compared to the rest of the country. It was in a lot of ways Abstract... especially Art. As much as I love history personally I will never understand the mindset of someone living in the 1850s... ya know.

    One thing for sure Run DMC did not write License to Ill. Beastie Boys wrote the whole album with the exception of "Slow and Low" on which they share credit with McDaniels, Rubin, Simmons, and "Paul Revere" on which they share credit with McDaniels, Rubin, Simmons. So on two song Run and DMC get credit along with Rick Rubin. That's one thing about the Beastie Boys is that they always made their own beats, produced the records, played the instruments and often directed the videos, Only on this album the one they did on Def Jam they had Rick and Russel pushing the in directions they were not comfortable with so they quit. A little before Run Dmc was not writing this album AdRock not on discovered LL Cool J he produced the beat for LLs first single I need a Beat. So make sure you do your googles.

      Also don't forget that Ad Rock was the guy that gave LL Cool J's demo to Rick Rubin and got him signed to Def Jam, and the Beastie Boys also gave him a spot on their tour w/ Run DMC. To this day LL frequently credits Ad Rock and the Beastie Boys for kick-starting his career--and LL is now considered a hip-hop pioneer. So even if it wasn't through their own music the Beastie Boys definitely shifted the hip-hop scene.

In this world and especially in entertainment it's still refreshing even if we had to dust of the video a little. Dude in the middle with the blue hat (sorry missed your name, first time watching this channel, oh OlliWoodda ) I had the same thing when I first revisited this track/ video, I had discarded it at the time it came out before I really even listened.
    LOVED the big smile of CoreyRoy pretty much the whole video long, you look like a ton of fun to be around. All out joy!

      License to Ill is the album they hate and can't stand. Immature and horrible to them. I felt they got more creative after. Paul's Botique to me blows away Ill. But then again I'm not 15 anymore so the lyrics to Ill don't do it for me l;ike they did decades ago. Hello Nasty is a great album and heck the last album they did is slept on even from most fans.

    • @herrzimm
      @herrzimm Před 11 měsíci

      @@danieldiggs9574 - I 100% agree that the Boys got "better" after Ill came out. But as far as JUST the beats are concerned? I still think they had better beats on Ill.
      BUT..... as far as COMPLEX beats and turn-tables? Well, I think they got better as they went along (like most bands will), but there is still something about those Ill beats that just seem to keep coming up as being "better".
      And honestly, I think that it has more to do with "simplistic concepts" vs "over production". And sadly, that was ONE issue I had with almost all the albums. It just sounded as they went along, someone in the production booth felt that there needed to be "more production tricks" added that started to sound a little "cluttered" on later tracks.

    There are only two songs that have credits to run DMC on license to ill. Slow and low was a throwaway track from run DMC that they gave the Beastie Boys permission to record. Paul revere, the very intro was a run DMC suggestion. “Now here a little story I got to tell about three bad brothers you know so well” The rest of the song was all Beastie Boys and Rick Rubin.

    Most videos everything looks slo-mo but the words out their mouth is on time.. What they do is when recording the video they play the music at double-speed. So they rap faster to the music. Then in the video the slow it down in editing so everything looks slo-mo but the lips are synced.
    For the fast bit I think they did the reverse. They played the track during the video shoot at half the speed. The played the track really slowly but they themselves moved fast and in real time and lips-synced on time. So when they they sped the video up to get the song back to normal speed they look like they're moving in double speed but their lips are syncing normally.

    as an ex club DJ I remember this song well. Recall it was 1998 and you may have had West Coast tracks dominating radio along Bad Boy Records artists. This track fit well with the white club audience with tracks such as House of Pain "Jump Around" and there was also that alternative scene with festivals such as Lollapalooza. Beastie Boys was prob the only group that rocked that old school hip hop flavor with kangols, baggie jeans and Adidas 3 stripe sneakers. I don't think they were trying to say "we're in touch or ahead of the culture." They were intentionally rocking the old school with flare. Plus they added that black skinny suits from something out of Reservoir Dogs. They had their own thing going.

      From what I remember they found more love from the metal heads than the rappers.

    The Move by Beastie Boys is another dope beat.
