    I am 56 year black man, in 1987 I was 20 years old, I was born and raised in DC, I was a security guard, at a hotel that Beastie Boys Run DMC LL Cool J Doug E fresh Slick Rick stayed, and the concert was at the Capitol Center, real hip hop one of the best shows that I've ever been to.

    The Beasties were an original. They never tried to act like they were from the hood, they had their own unique style which earned them respect from the hip hop heads.

      @Augusto Pinochet beastie boys might as well be very early hip hop artists. Damn near close to the inception of hip hop (not really but in terms of mainstream and made the genre taken seriously and watched out for)

      ❤ absolutely
      They were completely their own kinda jam
      One thing them and rap/hip- hop (Eazy -E, Salt-n-Pepa, 2 live crew, LL Cool J just to name a few) from the same time frame* had in common was either you enjoyed them or you despised them 🤔🙃

      @christygibson193 Beastie Boys started in the late 70s early 80s as punk rock/hip hop band, basically invented their own style. They were way before some of those people you mentioned and actually Run Dmc was the side act for THEM at one point. The Beastie boys can all play at least 3 instruments apiece. They're pioneers and very talented. RIP MCA Adam Yauch. Saw them in concert in 1984 at 14 years old then I saw them with public enemy in Germany in 1992. DOPE stuff right there.

      @Colton R, I doubt actual Jews, especially from New York, think the 'killing Jesus' part 'funny'.
      You can find yourself funny if you want...doesn't mean anybody else agrees with you.
      Thank dog I'm not a 'New York guy'...I've been there...extremely unimpressed.
      Little kids giving cabbies the finger, and their mom joining in, even though THEY were walking against a green...
      Some idiots throwing rocks off of roofs and hitting people and cars...
      Dudes in $90,ooo SUVs turning in their side mirrors to illegally merge into traffic to get into a tunnel and off the dogforsaken island...
      I've driven across this country...been to Europe...never met or encountered such a collection of jerkholes and douchenozzles.
      Also, I sent this screenshot to my friends in New York friends (who agree with my assessment, by the way, and have colorful things to say about the drivers too), and they LOVE the Beasties (as do I), and two of them are, in fact, Jewish. One of them is reasonably well-known JEWISH comic.
      To quote him, "I see what he was going for, but he missed. That isn't comedy. Also, I don't think he knows the meaning of the word 'disparaged', though that explains why he thinks he is funny."
      Please, stop while you're behind...

      Funny how it all works, isn't it?
      There's a shitload of songs that have came out in the last few years that people like you dismiss as "shit" and "fake".
      But in 5-10 years, the people that are in to those current songs are going to be on CZcams talking about how those are the only "real" songs , and that the new shit at that time just isn't as good as the good old days 5-10 years prior.
      And the cycle continues.
      I hope you spend more time enjoying music than hating it.

      Luckily, colour of skin has never been an issue with the beasties, as it should be in true hiphop. This band was/is so amazing it unites people of all colour, gender and generations. I can put on a Beastie Boys record at 2 in the night and it doesn't matter if you are a b-boy, punk, raver or metalhead, they all enter the dancefloor and go apeshit crazy. The only other band that can pull that off (that I know of) is The Prodigy. And alas, they are also missing a key member that is dead for a few years now.

      phattieg Their very last album was surprisingly good I thought. I also thought Paul's Boutique was pretty incredible too, especially from a sampling perspective-but so different from License to Ill. Lots of things I didn't catch until years later when I had more exposure to music. All these years later, I can listen to License to Ill and I know about 90% of the lyrics, which is crazy when you think about it.

    • @phattieg
      @phattieg Před 8 lety +6

      Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson Same here, still know all the words to almost every song on this album. But in terms of hip hop, this album was pretty much all hip hop. Pauls Boutique wasn't so much so. It was kinda a mix of a little hip hop, a little jazz, a little rock. I only really listened to a few songs on it. Probably would have listened to more, but CD's make it too easy to skip tracks you don't feel like sitting through. I didn't too much care for "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" or "Fight For Your Right", but it was a cassette, so it was easier to just let it play. Either way, I loved this album, and thought about it the other day and figured I would play it here on CZcams. Actually was intending to play "Slow Ride" and ended up recalling the order of the songs as they were on the tape, and playing the whole album. LoL

      phattieg I agree. I rarely listen to "No Sleep" and I always skip "Fight for your Right." Sure that was one of my favs as a kid, but as an adult it's not, and it certainly doesn't represent their best work. If you haven't already, check out Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. It took a few spins, but it's really well done. To the 5 Boroughs was also dope, which somehow I missed back when it came out around 2004. Peace.

      Between 1980 and 89, I went from 8 years old to 17!!! Yeah the music and clothes styles I liked, but I was super skinny and was bullied and made fun of at school, so it wasn't exactly the best times for me!! 43 years old now and teased a little but not as bad as it was when I was a kid! Single, work at a casino, living with my folks and I couldn't be happier!!! Would be happier without the crap music but yeah!!

    It was 1989. W.R. GA. Russel Parkway. Litchfield Theater. 1970 VW. Brand new very crudely made speaker box holding 2 brand new Kicker Stitches 15's pushed by a rather cheap 200 watt amp. The stereo was on but not playing just to keep everything warm. The cassette was waiting perfectly timed to the :57 mark in the song. We hit play and vibrated all the glass in the movies as we approached the entrance. So much so the manager came out and made us leave. We were so proud to build something so powerful on our own. The thing is we couldn't have done it without the Beastie Boys. Thank you BB's. For the music, the bass, the fun, and the memories. We owe you!!!
