Dude - This is my first time seeing this documentary, but I went on eBay about a week back and secured me a copy of that Funk Classics CD for £3 including shipping. It’s awesome! 😎
Right I was mad at 1st then this rush of nostalgia hit me hard I felt like was in high school again I can almost smell the cool water haha I almost broke out the Tommy Hilfiger 😅
I remember picking it up the day it dropped and listening to it front to back. My honest opinion at the time was that it wasn't that good, the reality is that it was so far advanced from anything else being put out in so many ways made it almost too much in the moment. I think it was about a year later I revisited it and absolutely fell in love with the production as well as the changing style of the rhyme schemes. It is among the top of my favorite albums list right next to It Takes A Nation from Public Enemy.
@@PuffinPass It's funny how it turned out to be exactly the same pattern for so many of us. I think the late 80's were just not vibing with 70's funk grooves, and one year later, it just felt different for some reason. At least, that's how I remember it.
I bought the Paul's Boutique tape and friends laughed at me for buying it. When they came over to party, I'd play it half way through the evening and they jammed to it. Nothing else was like it.
I love stumbling across these old VHS recordings from the 90’s. My teenage years. Thanks for not editing out the commercials. Such memories here. MTV was in its prime in the 90’s. Thank you so much for sharing this!
When I was 14 back in 1990 I remember chatting to a guy (another teenager) while we were waiting for the train and he was listening to Paul's Boutique on his Walkman, without hesitation he handed me the tape ... I have many good memories of tapes being passed around when I was a teenager, I had heard of the Beastie Boys but it wasn't until I heard Paul's Boutique that I became a fan. I never realized that it wasn't a huge hit at the time.
39:40 - not a huge fan personally of the whole Tibet thing, and not a huge fan of much of the music and Beasties in general after this point - BUT...... i do have TREMENDOUS RESPECT for young men who grow up , can realize and accept there is something greater outside of yourself, and there is a greater good we all need to explore , know, and seek after as a process of becoming more human (and virtuous).
Love the commercials this is the one time i dont mind watching and im not trying to skip threw them love the Beastie boys Paul's boutique and check your head
Paul's Boutique is good, but Check Your Head is better. Those are two different albums, PB is sample heavy while CYH is more dependent on live instruments. Eventually it depends on what you prefer I'm more into live instruments I guess. Thanks to whoever put this up on TH-cam.
I was wearing out license to ill til 1990 and never even heard of Paul's boutique. I found it in like 95 and wore that tape out. rap is what it is in huge part cuz of that album... it's up there with straight outta Compton and 36 chambers
I love every Beastie album that came out Paul’s Boutique was a game changer for me and then when they came out with check your head I knew they were legendary rip mca
I still remember being so upset that I hadn't heard of Paul's Boutique until maybe 1992. I was a huge fan of License to Ill and couldn't understand why Paul's wasn't even better known....
Well thankfully people started to see and hear the genius and style of that record 💯 it’s my favorite album from them but license to ill is a classic and I love Hello Nasty . That’s really one of their peak records 💯 The move is an amazing song , just a test , remote control is still one of their best songs I believe
@m2burns A very Happy Birthday for the 5th January. This will be the first Christmas without my son Brendan and it's been 12 months now that my son passed away. I miss him so very much. His favourite band was the Beastie Boys
They influenced me with Pharrell Williams, Tyler The Creator, Mac Miller, Benjamin Epps, Thundercat, The Internet, Mia, Common, Oxmo Puccino, Kaytranada, Badbadnotgood, Gorillaz, Norah Jones, Lana Del Rey, Barbara Carlotti, Miel de Montagne, Robert Glasper, Kali Uchis, Joji, Channel Tres, Frédéric Chopin, Sizzla and Arlo Parks
I never realised pauls botique was at some point not considred killa!!???? In Australia obviously the more non mainstream the band, the harder to get albums and info bout bands ( pre google era for all you youngstas'- yes there was a time with no internet or iphones). We'd be chekin music stores every few days to see when albums dropped, especially foriegn bands like bboys or uk bands... [ R.I.P. MCA]
lmao. Jim Bruer having a show on MTV (back when it was still at the forefront of pop culture) and then 25 years later he’s doing “comedy” for senior citizens at MAGA/Q-Anon rallies. 😂
7:04 😂 💀 “Pure Funk”. I still love the 90’s! 😂
I'm a 57 year old woman. Still bumping beastie boys. They're dope AF.
As you should
Fuck yeah Kim
You are not the only one. I'm 53. Fly that freak flag as high as you can, for as long as you can. Jimi Hendrix would agree.
Thank you for leaving in the commercials, I remember a lot of these.
mortal combat 4 and PURE FUNK. ... Not even vol.1 yet. lol
Same here. I’m 43 and 98 was a fun year for me

Hitting that euphoria hard.
The B-Boys, the ads, the movies, the brands, the products, the music and MTV… this video have all the COOLNESS from the 90’s.
Thanks for this. I remember this was advertised and I had to work that night so I missed it. 24 years later, I finally got to see it.
Paul's boutique is a masterpiece 👍🏻💯 my favourite album from them.
Leaving the commercials in was the right call. Thanks for sharing this!
I was pissed that no one really checked out Paul's Boutique... but I was a DJ. The samples alone, insane.

Best album, loved it first time i heard

Agreed

I remember all the 90s skaters at my HS dressing like the Beasties at that time. They were super influential to skater culture in the 90s.
The commercial for large diapers for older toddlers who should already be potty trained explains so much about my generation
hahahahaahahahahahahahah...holy shit this just made me laugh so hard! You are spot on hahahahahahhahahahahah

Hello Nasty is mother effing masterpiece. Love the boys. I still listen to that album all the way through regularly. They were so diverse. RIP MCA.

KRAZY - Saw them on tour with Run DMC in '86.
Hip Hop was our jam in '75 - South Bronx originals Sugar Hill, Cool Herc, Def Jam etc.
Thanks for the upload!! With the commercials!!
I'm actually glad these old commercials are still in the doc. It's like a blast from the past.
i love that the commercials are left on here, time capsule thanks

that album was priceless ahead of its time...one of the best of all time

Thanks for leaving the commercials
Please make more documentaries with the 90s commercials! I forgot about the idea of buying funk music compilations from an 800 number
Always listen to beastie boys when I'm dirt biking. The two just go together. Best riding music. Gets me pumped up
Excellent throw back.

Only creative minds would understand how amazing the album was! Still play it to this day! 👍
Never heard of this. Thanks for sharing. The commercials are wacked
The period commercials were fascinating.
Back when you couldn't skip ads.
Still can't now. Half the time
I love these adds, brings back awesome memories
Grew up listening to the B Boys. I still remember those commercials 25 years later too.
Take me back to the 90's..💘
That pure funk ad is dope.
My late son Brendan loved you guys. He was 35 years old when he passed away on the 5th January 2024.
So sorry about your son. January 5th happens to be my birthday ... maybe there is a serendipitous synchronicity there. ❤
@m2burns A very Happy Birthday for the 5th January. This will be the first Christmas without my son Brendan and it's been 12 months now that my son passed away. I miss him so very much. His favourite band was the Beastie Boys
I took short videos in 2023 of my son Brendan so I could watch them whenever I like. He was the youngest in the family. His sisters miss him too.
Interesting to hear what they were willing to say about the industry then vs what they say now! Especially about Russ and Rick!!
I absolutely hate that im an ‘01 baby I was supposed to be my age in the 80’s-90’s
Maybe you had a past life in the 80s and 90s lol!

Please post the 5 hours of the back street boys
This is the MTV that I remember...
Check your head is a mfing classic
I’m loving the ads
PB is s studio masterpiece that elevated sampling and all but CYH is my favorite. It just has a raw sound and groovy bass lines.
I wish that documentary wouldn't interrupt the ads
That pamper's commercial says a lot about society nowadays doesn't it?
Paul boutique was like that period 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you beastie boys
DIRTY 3:30 AKA AKRON OHIO GETTING SOME LOVE OZ FEST 98 RUBBER BOWL WAS AWESOME!!
i totally remember this and taped it too. is that Daria narrating this?
That made my day
5:18 is that Glenn from walking dead?
the commercials are insane!
I have that pure funk CD lol 😂 RIP MCA
3:39 --- Narrated by.... Daria Morgendorfer?????
THE FRICK

I appreciate so much this being posted, but I could've done without the commercials.
Cope
I really miss them
The coolest people EVER!!!!
I still havent' gotten my Pure Funk record, whats up!!!

😅😞 I watched the commercials
How much would it cost to mske that sprite advert now ( aside from the obvious issue R.I.P. KING)
What is the name of that song from the beginning?
Shadrach
Paul’s boutique is the best
The commercials🤣🤣🤣
Watched this like 5 or 6 times alreay
29:52 is that Bryan Callen? Haha. I think it is
4:43 ads? Even with my YT Premium, I immediate thumb down. 😊
Left in on purpose because they are retro 90s ads.
Shame about the ads.
RIP Ricky Powell
The album is to cerebral for average folk imo it’s arguably the best
They got more hits than Sudaharo Oh!
wow! back when mtv didn't suck horribly
That's so hilarious
I swear thats adam sandler ... you know who im talkin bout
lmao. Jim Bruer having a show on MTV (back when it was still at the forefront of pop culture) and then 25 years later he’s doing “comedy” for senior citizens at MAGA/Q-Anon rallies. 😂

Killer!
Lots of drugs and nice beats.
