That verse - "I want to say a litte something that's long overdue, that disrespecting women has got to be through.." was written and rapped by Adam Yauch, AKA MCA. He said in interviews that he was nervous about bringing it to the other guys. There was so much objectification of women in rap, he didn't know how his bandmates or the public would react to it. But Mike D. and Ad-Rock were totally accepting and supportive of that verse, as were the public when the song was released. When MCA died in 2012, it made the evening news. Every news cast I watched that reported on his death showed a clip of him rapping, and they always chose that verse. Same with every TV show I watched that paid tribute to him. That verse, which he so deeply felt needed to be said, and was so scared would end his career as a rapper has become one of his most enduring legacies.

The cringe is not because of the man's skills on the turntable; instead, it is due to the fact that so many people get Doctor Dré (formerly of Yo MTV Raps) confused with Dr. Dre (formerly of N.W.A.).

DJ hurricane was their DJ for about 10-12 years. He mostly contributed on stage but here and there came up with some lyrics or hooks. The part “MCA come and rock the the sure shot” was his idea... and it’s his voice saying it through a phone. Beasties called him up at 3 am asking him to say it so they could record it over the phone 😆
He hooked up with the Beastie Boys via Run DMC. He was their bodyguard. He started hanging with the Beastie's on tour in 1986 & then became their DJ. Love how everything was so connected back then. Fresh Festivals, Raising Hell Tour, DJ Battles.
This is probably my favourite Beastie Boys track. I love the flute in there with the beat. They always have fun, don’t take themselves too seriously. I feel I’m only beginning to fully appreciate them now, nearly 30 years later!
This song was part of some songs to apologize for the misogynist lyrics from their early years. There’s a recent documentary about them, by them, and it’s completely worth watching. I’m not even a huge fan and was sucked in.
in 1994 i got home from class. turned the TV,,Video Vibrations was on. This song came on. I watched the whole video then went back out to Turtles Records and Tapes and bought this CD.
The thing about the Beastie Boys that made their music so classic and _UNIQUE/DISTINCT_ is that they were constantly changing their beats throughout their songs. Other rappers weren’t doing that!
If you want to see DJ Hurricane rap with the BBoys check out their performance on The Arsenio Hall show from 1992. I lost it when Cypress Hill joined in too
Well, I'm sure Jayvee has seen how the Beastie Boys have blown up TH-cam reaction channels over the last few months, & Well Deserved too... As they are hip hop pioneers legends and icons ! RIP MCA 😞 Other great, deeper tracks from them, would include : Pass The Mic Root Down Car Thief Finger Lickin Good Skills To Pay The Bills Alive Shake Your Rump Body Movin' Egg Man 3 Minute Rule Shadrach Too Many Rappers-featuring Nas- Gratitude B-Boy Bouillabaisse Negotiation Limerick File Awww, hell... The list goes on & on . . . Till the break of dawn !
The song was a rebuttal to the direction hip-hop was taking in the post NWA era, saying "We can still bring the rhymes hard without being gross about sex and obscene with our themes". This while damn album kicks ass, too.
The fellow you noticed was Hurricane, who was their DJ for a while. There is actually a performance of "So Whatcha Want" on the Arsenio Hall Show, where he joins in and raps a verse.
(They removed all their sexist lyrics when they grew up.) "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" is cool. "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" is classic. "Professor Booty" is a masterpiece (The whole album is). Love "B-Boy Makin' With The Freak Freak"....."The Move", "And Me", "I Don't Know", 'Song for the Man" from Hello Nasty are wacky.
This song is from the amazing record "Ill Communication" < a must have album! The very next song on the record ist "Tough Guy" which is a punk song! Need to know: The BBs were formed as a punk-band before they switched to hip hop! ^^+gg
You need to react to an OG Beastie Boys track The New Style off their first album. Everyone has been sleeping on this one. It’s probably one of the first beat switches in hip hop ever! And you can’t miss when the beat mmmmm.... drops!
If you like the Beasties you HAVE to hear a song called "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" featuring Santigold and the album "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two" -the video version doesn't catch all the grooves/base try this version th-cam.com/video/CdnYzIxQUWE/w-d-xo.html The best song for summer. Santigold's "Creator" is good too.
I had the pleasure of seeing DJ Hurricane open for the beasties back in the day and I still have "Elbow Room" and "Pass me the gun" in my playlist. Definitely worth a listen - a great mix of his rap and DJ skills!
You should listen to the darkness - is it just me Stratovarius - hunting high and low Sum 41 - in to deep The darkness - dinner lady arms Falling in reverse - good girls bad guys
Could you please react to one of their songs from “To The 5 Boroughs”? The album was a tribute to post-9/11 New York. “Open Letter to NYC” and “Right Right Now Now” have some amazing and meaningful lyrics considering the context of the time…
Please go back to playing some great 60's, 70's and 80's Classic Rock! Check out "Raspberries - Go all the Way" or (The Kings - Beat goes on /Switching to Glide)
Me and my brothers best group from England United Kingdom in a little town called Burnley DJ hurracaine is the other geezer 👍one of the best rap groups ever just watching your reaction gud to see people recognising them more Eminem mentions the beastie's alot 👍✌️
OK, loving your vids so far! Some recommendations (apologies if you're already seen!): if you liked how to save a life by the fray, react to 'dead boy's by sam fender (a northern english singer, sings about his experience growing up there, if you like bluesy stuff, 'lead me home' by jamie n commons is good, if you like harmonies then anything by fleet foxes (esp 'mykonos', 'the shrine/an argument' and 'winter hymnal') and if you like oldies then 'driver's seat' by sniff 'n' the tears and 'golden brown' by the stranglers. Also if you like music videos that actually match the music 'riptide' by vance joy is good.

DIdn't know about this, thank you for pointing it out.
Also what happen to women at woodstock concert right!..the ones that got sexual assaulted
:-D this from the guys who sang "Girls"! if only other boys "grew up" (& admitted it) like BB did.
@@poisonivymathers That was a bit later at the 1999 MTV video awards. Adrock spoke about it in their acceptance speech. The Beasties definitely grew out of their immature brat phase with class
Beautifully said.
That guy in "the back" was DJ Hurricane, their original DJ before Mix Master Mike.
Rick Rubin was the original, then Doctor Dre, then Hurra, finally Mix Master Mike.

There is no need whatsoever to repeat your comment, dude.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 yes thank you it was done inadvertently. I can delete it if it will make you feel better. Yeah ill do that.
Beasties never disappoint. I've probably heard this song 6,000 times and it still rocks.

Hence the huge cellphone lol!
He hooked up with the Beastie Boys via Run DMC. He was their bodyguard. He started hanging with the Beastie's on tour in 1986 & then became their DJ. Love how everything was so connected back then. Fresh Festivals, Raising Hell Tour, DJ Battles.
The fourth dude you were wondering who it is, is DJ Hurricane. He was their live DJ for more than 10 years and is listed as a co-writer for this song
"Shadrach", "Hey Ladies", "Brass Monkey"...
I love the Shadrach video, it is as much a work of art as the song/performance is. MCA directed and Painted every frame of it himself.
@@joshbillings7834 that video is so old
This is probably my favourite Beastie Boys track. I love the flute in there with the beat.
They always have fun, don’t take themselves too seriously. I feel I’m only beginning to fully appreciate them now, nearly 30 years later!
"Hold It Now, Hit It" You'll have a blast, trust me.
This song was part of some songs to apologize for the misogynist lyrics from their early years. There’s a recent documentary about them, by them, and it’s completely worth watching. I’m not even a huge fan and was sucked in.
What is the name of the documentary? Thx 🙂
@@eseesa the completely novel title of: Beastie Boys Story
in 1994 i got home from class. turned the TV,,Video Vibrations was on. This song came on. I watched the whole video then went back out to Turtles Records and Tapes and bought this CD.
I was riding around the city smoking some blunts with my boy and he busted this out when it first came out. Good times for sure...
Get It Together is another great Beastie Boys' song.
what isn't a great beasty boys song
The thing about the Beastie Boys that made their music so classic and _UNIQUE/DISTINCT_ is that they were constantly changing their beats throughout their songs.
Other rappers weren’t doing that!
The only group you'll ever find giving a shout out to Vaughn Bodē. Love it.
Yup - the godfather of the graffiti cartoon - all hail the Cheech Wizard.

My FAVORITE Beastie Boys song...... THANK YOU!!!!
Love beastie boys...you grabbed a great verse to promote..respect to women...anyone and everyone needs to increase.
BBs have offered some intriguing and intelligence abound! They are & were musical masterpieces.
This and "Gratitude" are my favourite Beastie Boys tracks.
No way. “So What’Cha Want,” which was a song on this same most sickest album of theirs, totally beats “Gratitude!”
The song was a rebuttal to the direction hip-hop was taking in the post NWA era, saying "We can still bring the rhymes hard without being gross about sex and obscene with our themes". This while damn album kicks ass, too.
Beastie Boys - Make Some Noice is great song too. And the video is scenes after Fight For Your Rirght. If you watch that, try to spot all the cameos
Rest in Peace MCA! (always miss that dude)
Saw them in concert, they did Sure Shot acapella with the crowd and they did not disappoint
My favorite Beastie song!
The fellow you noticed was Hurricane, who was their DJ for a while. There is actually a performance of "So Whatcha Want" on the Arsenio Hall Show, where he joins in and raps a verse.
You can spend days reacting to the good stuff the BB’s put out. Been listening since License to Ill came out....
Remember some of their funk instrumentals?! Amazing
@@annother3350 I have both instrumental albums they put out. Makes awesome background music for just hanging out.
@@Wrangzilla A smoker eh?! ;O)
One of the best tracks from one of the best albums ever made.
Been loving the Beastie boys since the 80s
It's great to see you reacting to songs other channels aren't doing.
YES! Agreed! There is so much great music and music history out there, so no need to limit it. 💗
Check out Shake Your Rump by these,it's so funky!
"I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew" Damn that line is dope
Brings me back to 96-97 in 6th grade and good times getting drunk and high with my homies
(They removed all their sexist lyrics when they grew up.) "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" is cool. "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" is classic. "Professor Booty" is a masterpiece (The whole album is).

High Plains Drifter is a must!
This song is from the amazing record "Ill Communication" < a must have album!
The very next song on the record ist "Tough Guy" which is a punk song! Need to know: The BBs were formed as a punk-band before they switched to hip hop! ^^+gg
I like this song so much that I put it on my high school football highlights film, in 1994
You are on a great roll!
It’s all about the beat baby.
This is Hip Hop soooooo underrated this song is an absolute banger.... DJ Hurricane was a Beastie
Back to the classics

Beastie boy's album, Licensed to Ill, goes in rap hof. Right up with chronic, all eyez on me, life after death, ...
I would put Paul's Boutique in there first
You need to react to an OG Beastie Boys track The New Style off their first album. Everyone has been sleeping on this one. It’s probably one of the first beat switches in hip hop ever! And you can’t miss when the beat mmmmm.... drops!
Hold it now, hit it & it's time to get ill both classic beastie tracks!

Shrek 4. But I knew this song before that. It just works so well in the movie. Love this.
You should listen to Sabotage, amazing song. Amazing energy.

3:46 - Yeah, that's the line from 1994 :D
Beastie Boys were .. they were something else. :)
That 'rockin the sureshot' line is a nod to the elders - that's not old school that's pre-school hip-hop.
That’s DJ Hurricane
Yo that big boy in the back is DJ hurricane
Will you please do their song The New Style. It is my favorite and it's pretty awesome!!
Can you react to phil collins another day in paradise
I had the pleasure of seeing DJ Hurricane open for the beasties back in the day and I still have "Elbow Room" and "Pass me the gun" in my playlist. Definitely worth a listen - a great mix of his rap and DJ skills!
Watcha watcha want is my favorite BB song
I can't believe this is dude's first time hearing this song. Bruh, where've you been?
Bro, you would love Root Down. Check it!
Yes!
Check out "Shake Your Rump". Fantastic stuff.
You should react to "High Plains Drifter" next!
You should listen to
the darkness - is it just me
Stratovarius - hunting high and low
Sum 41 - in to deep
The darkness - dinner lady arms
Falling in reverse - good girls bad guys
The Wiseguys, after beastie boys it's a MUST, they have similar beat
Still no Body Movin
