Here is the AMAZING thing about the Beastie Boys, if they did a show with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Smashing Pumpkins it would totally make sense, but if they a show the next week with Tribe and De La it would totally makes sense as well. They were the Bridge that connected both scenes in the 90’s.
They kind of did 50% of that in lollapalooza '94. They played with Tribe and Smashing Pumpkins. That was the year Nirvana was supposed to headline. Fortunately, I went to that one in the Gorge in George, Washington. It was awesome
@@charliewilson4203 yup 💯
And at the Tibetan freedom concert in San Francisco, they played with Bjork.
That’s a great point thanks. So many can relate to them
I once saw them and the opening bands were the bad brains and the roots 😮
The Beastie Boys had a big influence on my life. I'm 52 now but, still a Beastie.
That’s at least 2 of us!
Same. I’m also 52 and they’ve been with me my whole “big person” life really.
Seeing Mike D looking like Fatima Whitbread in a mag years ago was freaky. Luv dem
You have me by a few but I bet you're a Goonie too.
Beastie for life! RIP MCA
Paul's Boutique is my favorite Beastie Boys album to this day. EXTREMELY underrated.
For sure!! So Underground and never on the radio. So many ppl are deprived
L2I ruled our worlds in from '86-'88. When Paul's Boutique dropped, the boys and I sat down with some herb, brews, and pizza for a listening party. That cassette blew us away!
Not only is it my favorite Beastie Boys album, it's in my top 5 of all time. It was FAR ahead of it's time and I applaud the Beasties for trying something completely different from the album that put them on the map and was the most profitable. This is a band that NEVER sold out and always stayed true to the artistic side of hip hop. Legends to another level. Too bad the good lord took MCA away from us too soon. These guys would still be doing their thing. Not with Adam though. They respect him too much.
It's not EXTREMELY UNDERRATED...It used to be in the 90s...not anymore
Umm not underrated at all. Everyone from old school hip hop heads to ahem "alternative rock hipster" types rated that album highly from a few years after it came out, to this day. They even played the videos from it to death on late night TV music video shows here in Australia for years after. All the "cool" music mags had retro write-ups on it too in later years, labelling it a classic.
Beastie Boys are a pivotal part of my childhood and college years. Definitely my favorite band/rap group of all time.
Agreed! RUN DMC as well💯
WTF. I guess Vanilla Ice is your 2nd.
@@nakho3550 nah
Yeah boy
@@nakho3550most uneducated comment of all time
Every single Beastie Boys album represents a chapter in my youth. From License (grade 6) to Hot Sauce (my late thirties), I have a visceral connection to their music. Along with De La Soul, they are the true vanguards of Alternative Hip Hop, paving the way or countless artists to come while adding depth to rap music as a genre. My god do I love these dudes.
I love these guys like family and that’s all I really have to say about that. Rest well, MCA. 🙏🏾
Absolute legends. Their crossover appeal when they dropped License to Ill was undeniable.
People sleep on that album that stamp them n the game
The way the Boys evolved and changed music styles, the full band rock of 'Gratitude' the sample fest of 'Shake Your Rump,' the electronica of Intergalactic, the funk of In 3's.. From the first time I heard 'Rock Hard' in 85 - never been bored of The Beastie Boys. RIP MCA....
F**King legends. The best group of all time.
Such talented fellas! Rappers, musicians, comedians.....true artists on all levels.
Dope interview. Shout-out to the legendary Beastie Boys. One of the greatest rap groups in hip hop history. RIP to MCA.
I was fortunate enough to see them live in 1998, Tribe Called Quest was supposed to be on the bill, but they broke up the night before, so Biz Markie filled their spot, one of the best shows I've ever been to! Beasties are forever. Rest in peace MCA❤
Two albums Paul's Boutique and De La Soul's 3 feet High & Rising, a masterpiece that will never be accomplished again.
89
Well, with all of the ease of sampling technology today, it most certainly can be accomplished once again. However, the fees associated with releasing anything with the amount of samples that those albums had wouldn't be worth it. I think Paul's Boutique had something like 1000 samples used in it. That's INSANE!!! Listen to The Avalanches stuff though. Those guys sample a tone of stuff in an extremely creative way. I'm a producer and I sample a bunch as well. I can't even think about releasing some of my tracks because of the heavy sample usage, but it's fun for me and my friends to listen to it.
It's amazing that we were able to grow with them through the 80's , 90's and 00's. But it's excruciatingly sad that we will NEVER get new work from the "Triple Trouble" ever again. 😢
Heather B, Ad-Rock, and Mike D.....hey kids, THIS is hip hop. Loved every second of this.
Let's be REAL clear, Paul's Boutique is in my Top 10 Albums... 100% Facts that album will stress some woofers!!🎸🔊 73 baby! I witnessed as it happened!
Dude that drop during hellooo Brooklyn
As a punk rock kid who also loves hip hop, Beastie Boys are perfect! I love how they never shy away from their punk roots and tie it in with the direction they went. Both are from the streets, from the youth, anti establishment, and highly communal. There's so many ties and I love how they've always been and continue to be a bridge between the two!
Peace!
Paul's boutique is my favorite album
It really had something the other albums did not. I wasn't sure about it the 1st time I heard it, but then later I realized it was pioneers being great. Cheers to pioneers 🍻
Great show! Heather B and team did an excellent job. The Beastie Boys was one of those iconic and influential groups in hip hop you as a kid back then, never knew you needed to know about and listen to. They helped paved the way for hip hop and rock to coexist in the same spaces! Hip hop Music in the 90s and 00s were heavily influenced with sampling by their music! RIP MCA Adam Yauch.
I was in Oakland at the coliseum when they came out we were grooving to the beat when they turn the lights on the crowd just FROZE and then they tore it up! I fell out! I have been playing licensed to Ill all week prior to the concert and have been a fan ever since.
My first Beastie show was 1993, Roseland Ballroom. I just turned 50 and I still talk about it! Had to see them at stadiums after that. They never disappointed me. Not once. Now I listen to them with my son! Beastie Boys forever!!
That chicken parm shirt is serious
Representing lol
As a heart attack. Check yo' cholesterol.
yea. decades ago, it would have said pcp weed. chicken parm is a more responsible vice
Hornblower and Country Mike forever!
.... uh. thats sharp cheddar, not hornblower. ? but ok
Never got half the respect they deserved , not only did they rap they played punk and really good musicians, we’re in the rap game right at the start.
Check Your Head and Ill Communication are light years ahead of time
LONG LIVE THE BEASTIE BOYS! 🙌 ... Heather did a superb job!
I can never get enough of the Beastie Boys ! I can go back and listen to a ton of their music through out the decades and it never gets old , timeless at that ! They paved a solid path for other artists and we're the first to get struck with a law suit for sampling beats which blew up the DJ scene to the next level of appreciating old lick's to create your own . Inspiring to say the least . Pauls Boutique was groundbreaking and one of my favorites to this day in any genre of music . R.I.P. MCA ! I can understand not performing again under BB again out of respect that it would never be the same but will always be remembered ...............
You summed it up perfectly!
Word!
These guys helped solidify me as a young man. They gave me direction and belief in me. Their positive lyrics lined up with me morally, and that was equally, if not more important, than how great they were at their craft. The best, man
For those of us in our late 40's and early 50's Beastie Boys, Run DMC, AMG, DJ Quick, NWA , Too Short, Grandmaster Flash, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Digital Underground, Arrested Development, Egyptian Lover, the list goes on so many great groups.
Yeah bc my 90s isn't quite the same as everyone else's. I mean, I was there. But also kinda not. I was 8 in 1990. The 90s and early millennium was my entire school yrs. Also he kind of makes me think of that Jane's addiction dude. Not that I know much about Jane's addiction. But Im pretty sure my mom used to be amused about how confused I look about that person stealing everything at the grocery store. Was that the late 80s? Bc then some quirky times. Also, idk like 3 of those
True Legends. And their songs are still lit. ❤🔥
Rip to mca.”like a lemon doin lime like a lime doin lemon”. I’m happy with my generation. It was a good ride. Almost over and time to check out.
“Like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon.”
Greatest group ever and not just in hip hop!
Facts
Some people laugh when I say the beasties are my all time fave, then I point them to "Paul's Boutique", "Check yo Head", "Ill Communication", "The in Sounds from Way Out" and "Cowboy Mike". I can throw them in my sony 5 disc changer and not change them out for a good month or two.
Thank you SO MUCH for this. What a great interview. RIP MCA.
Always a pleasure to listen to Ad Rock and Mike D. Huge influence on my life, cheers guys
Paul’s boutique is and always will be the most intricate and inspirational hip hop album of all time hands down.
With all the loops and cuts from other bands and record rights, there is no way this album could be done today!
Shoutout to the Besstie Boys & their underrated “To The 5 Boroughs” album! RIP MCA 🫡
I'm a huge fan and I notice other core fans rank TT5B real low but honestly it holds up and I always thought Mike D really stepped up on that project.
Legendary punk groups The Clash & (NYC natives) Blondie were right there when rap was taking off in New York. The Clash released their proto-rap track, Magnificent Seven in 1980, and Blondie released the single, Rapture, which name checks Fab 5 Freddy and Grandmaster Flash, in the same year, and those songs helped propel the genre to new audiences and into the mainstream. Malcolm McLaren, manager of the UK punk group The Sex Pistols recorded and released the album, Duck Rock, in 1982/3 which included the historically important and seminal Hip Hop track, Buffalo Gals, the music video of which featured NYC Breakdance legends, Rocksteady Crew.
Great take on some Rap and Hip Hop history. Those tracks are both seminal and timeless for those of us who allowed punk and rap to co-exist in our musical worlds. Still listen to them, along with the Beasties, a whole lot!
😆Yes! Deep cut with Timex Social Club AND to Bobby Jimmy and the Critters! 😁
This interview was great and Heather running the show was smooth! Guests were able to respond without interruption, questions were interesting, everyone was relaxed and the interview flowed. Loved the Beastie Boys since the early days and glad they're still sharing their creativity with the world. Peace and blessings to the Beasties and MCA. 😌🙏🏾💙🖤✨
I’m Mike D and I get respect. 📱 💰
Your Bitcoin and your iPhone is what I expect.
Listen to Eggman on Paul’s Boutique. Then listen to Trigga Happy Nigga but Geto Boys. I’m from Htown. I can tell that James Prince studied the Beastie Boys and made his Geto Boys off them. Both are in my top 5 groups. BB 1st. Tribe 2nd. UGK. Geto Boys. PE
1986 was a great year in so many ways. Shout out to all the 86 babies.Texas born bred and fed.🤘🏾 #80sBaby90sRaisedMe #80sbaby86 #80smademe #BeastieBoys #SwaysUniverse #SiriusXM #SwayInTheMorning #Shade45
My brother was born in 86 🤘🏻me 78.
Imagine how cool it was for me, going off to college in fall 1986, with “You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Party” blaring out of every frat house and dorm room. Music was great then-so much diversity of styles-best of the old and new. It was a great time to be alive.
great interview. nice work heather B! Thank you Mike D, Adam, RIP MCA.
I feel a tour energy from them. Hope so. Love you Guys since 86. I was at a skate contest and heard brass monkey blazing out of the speakers. Ever since that day I been enjoying all your music. Thank you
Dope! 🔥🔥 • Posse In Effect is still one of my favorite tracks ever! Phenomenal career, and congrats on the BB Square • Peace to NY🗽 from Amsterdam • And I’m humbled to be included on the Deluxe Edition of To The 5 Boroughs with my official Triple Trouble remix • Salute to the Beasties, RIP MCA • ❤️ • Never heard that De La story!! • It Takes A Nation was already out in ‘89, it came out in 88 though • 🤍
BIG UP SWAY
BIG UP HEATHER B (Grew up on Edutainment too!) & THE WHOLE CREW 🔥🔥💯
I still think run dmc or ll cool j wrote that
Respect to the Beasties! I'm so glad to see them come on. No doubt Hip Hops best who's music continues to be enjoyed and influence new generations.
Punk Rock & Hip Hop are cousins! Facts👍👍
ive always regarded 3 feet, pauls boutique and nation of millions as the spearhead of the heavy sampling era. those 3 albums shifted the culture, and shaped the way everything in hip-hop would sound like into the 90's decade.
I missed multiple chances to see them live… one of my life’s true regrets. RIP MCA🙏legends never die
they are the best in the whole world they help me with my mental health
I can't express this well enough. I'm a lifelong beasties fan. But I can remember being about 9 years old seeing that Paul's boutique in the discount grab bins.
Saw them first tour ‘87 on a Sunday In Birmingham. You could not buy alcohol on Sunday but they had their own stash and went through a few cases of bud while they performed…life changing near death experience stabbed and beat by thugs after the show…
Heather really held this down without sway salute to her
Ad Rock is wearing a hat for the convenience store Lawson from Japan, what a straight up hipster even at age 60
I’ve always been a metal head but for some reason the Beastie Boys fit into what I like. It just shows how good they were and are!
Beastie Boys or one of the greatest groups ever HipHop punk-rock legendary
To The Beasties...The Problem With Pauls Boutique Was Hip Hop Heads Was Expecting Another License To Ill ...The Album Was Ahead Of It's Time Back Then. Now For Me The Album(Paul) Is A Bonafide Classic.
You God damn right we wanted license to ill psrt 2 n 88

Beastie Boys the greatest band of all time and Total respect to this lady she really knows her history of Rap music
I’m 47 years old and they’re still my favorite group of all time!
I'm Mike D and I get respect
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect
Pioneers in rap no doubt. Icons.
Rapping and stealin is a killer tune. Paul Revere, sabotage, everyone mentions fight for your right but they have so much more
Pauls Boutique will always be in my top 20 albums
I have always told friends because I listened to the B-Boys so much I feel like I know NYC even though Ive never been there. Love how they referenced so much of the city through their lyrics. Learned so much of their childhood and stuff they wrote about and how we also had similar stuff on the West Coast. In high school every liquor store would sell out of Brass Monkey, we wanted White Castle, and a VW medallion.
Licensed to Ill was one of the albums that made me fall in love with Hip Hop. Paul’s Boutique is one of the most underrated albums of all time
Great interview. I still have the original vinyl of License to ILL that I bought as a teenager
Beastie Boys were amazing live. Not sure which tour I saw but it was the gig where they had a rotating stage. Mix Master Mike did a 10 minute solo on the decks that was one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Seen them with Cypress Hill.. no show can come close to that one
I believe that was the Hello Nasty tour. Saw it in Montreal. What an amazing concert!
They did not talk about new music. There will be no new music. I think that click part of the title might just be referring to the deluxe version of Hello Nasty.
MCA. One of my favorite voices ever. If not my favorite. RIP
Beastie Boys, the world needs you~~seen these cats in Hawaii (turtle bay resort) 1995!! They blew us all away, time to hit the stage~~RIP MCA, you'll always be in our hearts, Aloha
Unbelievable how NOBODY in this studio knew about their punk roots. It's a bit disrespectful.
They only knew then because of the first album
Adam busted out his freshest Chicken Parm shirt.
Brass Monkey 🔥🔥🔥🎵🎶
check your head cassette tape was the first release here in the philippines i think and i bought one, i thought all along pauls boutique was later but i just learned it was the first over check, and it was really fresh that time combining rap+punk. mixing the style+funk+punk+street originally curated by themselves, thank you!
Love to see it
All my buddies and I wanted to be were the Beastie Boys when they dropped in the 80s. So glad I got to see them twice in 1987.
by far my favorite group of all time as a teenager in the 80s every album is a time-line that i reference lots of memories as time growing up greatful I've seen them live over 20 times starting with
"Together Forever" w/ Run-Dmc to the last show i saw at Etnies in lake forest the jamming to Vegasfor the next night to see them Hard Rock in Vegas
Paul’s Boutique was dope though. I had friends at the time who were musicians and they totally got it. Great interview!
I love them soooo muuuuch. Ad-Rock and Mike are super cool.. Miss MCA :(.. I'm sad but glad because they're legends and they deserve everything!!!
RIP Adam Yauch. You guys are my favorite hip-hop group. Run DMC too ❤ Long live Beastie Boys!.
I've seen other interviews where they are asked about ever performing live. Mike seems to at least be interested, Adam doesn't want any of that. This time Adam kinda puts it on Mike, and Mike looks at him like you M -effer I've tied and you never wanted. We'll see where it ends up. I would definitely like to see them perform before they and I get too damm old!!!!
If they do, it would be as the Beastie Boys. They have officially said the Beastie Boys passed on when MCA passed on. Don't blame them one bit because how can they be the Beastie Boys without MCA? Perhaps, just perhaps they will come up with an album of new material as something completely different, that doesn't even sound like the Beastie Boys, but these guys deserve to hang them up and ride into the sunset with the catalog of great songs they've left behind. Definitely would love one more album and tour though. That would be insane!
I get all that, the selfish part of me would love to see a cover band of AD Rock, Mike D featuring NAS doing beastie boys songs...I can dream!!!@@Zsklar
Awesome show!!👍👍
fn love The Beasties! Awesome
I've loved rap music , and the whole Hip Hop culture since I was around 11 or 12 years old, I'm 53 now , and my musical tastes are varied , my first love was Elvis Presley, and the Beatles, Hendrix etc , And for me the Beastie Boys are Hip Hop's Beatles , I mean in the same way as they evolved and embraced different sounds and how much they changed over the years , that's just my opinion! I remember going to see them at Wembley for their intergalactic tour , and it was incredible , they're just so talented and diverse , I would love to see more rap groups embrace different sounds and be unafraid to express themselves musically.
Legends. Much love from Germany
That was dope! I was hoping they would shout out the legendary Bad Brains from DC. We need to get that band into the RRHOF!
I am so excited ❤
Love Beastie Boys
YAY ❤❤❤❤❤❤
was hoping for some freeestyles but still appreciate a beastie boys interview and hearing some stories from their past at the beginning
Greatness!
Beastie boys make my day ❤
Always down for a beasties interview
I've been a huge Beasties fan since License to Ill (when I was in 8th grade) and bought all their albums on the release date, was on their message board in the mid 90's, read every article, watched every interview, bought every book... and until this interview I NEVE KNEW that they recorded Ill Communication BEFORE Paul's Boutique and released it later. That just blew my mind. I know they rented a mansion in LA and made Paul's Boutique over many months, with Keyboard Money Mark, but had zero knowledge that Ill Communication was on the shelf already recorded. That's why I love these interviews.
I was eight years old when ill came out and it was the first tape I ever stole
Such a great interview. For real tho, I need to know where to get Ad Rock’s Chicken Parm shirt lol
Heather killed that and the guys are a class act.
Much respect!
I was screaming "Bad Brains!!!" before Mike D said, "Bad Brains."
Legendary 🔥
I love these guys 80s baby's 💪🏿
Hip-Hop icons! Big inspiration to me 💐
Yayy, get in Jam on it
