Awesome reaction, super fun song! Everyone loves Beastie Boys, always bringing that feel good energy, you gotta keep going down that Beastie rabbit hole! You HAVE to do a reaction for Hey Ladies! Get ready to laugh!
Released in November 1986, Licence To Ill is still to this day one of the finest rap albums ever….period!! It was the first rap album to go to the top of the US Billboard Chart & what makes that even more impressive is the fact that the Beastie Boys had no headlining tour under their belts at that point & little to no radio air play. On July 22, 1986, Beastie Boys opened for John Lydon's post-Sex Pistols band Public Image Ltd and then supported Madonna on her North American The Virgin Tour (only to get kicked off the tour after a handful of shows). The Beastie Boys then toured with Fishbone and Murphy's Law with DJ Hurricane and later in the year, the group was on the now legendary ‘Raising Hell’ tour with Run-DMC, Whodini, LL Cool J, and the Timex Social Club. I was lucky enough to see the Beastie Boys several times in the 1990s & early 2000s…& those shows were some of the best I’ve ever seen.
The Slayer guitarist was drafted to play on this Beastie Boys song by Rick Rubin, who was recording both Reign in Blood and License to Ill at the same time, in adjacent studios. According to King, he was offered a couple hundred bucks to play the riffs and solo
Great reaction. Check out “Root Down” for a great song with an original video that basically is a lesson in NYC/East Coast old school hip hop culture. You’ll love it. Another to check is “Sure Shot” since you like their positive and fun vids. It’s a great song with all of that.
They were so influential and pretty much every genre of rap and hip hop respects them like crazy. They originally tried being like a punk band and kept getting turned down so the decided to do hip hop rap as a joke! They weren’t into the scene but it turned out they did it so well everyone loved them and exploded! So they said, “We may be on to something”! Hahahaha so they ran with it and became one of The Godfather’s and they themselves fell in love with it too. Such a cool story.
Your so right about the Beastie Boys! Their videos are great, silly but entertaining. They are amazing artists and have the hit songs to prove it. Great reaction as always!!
Here's a little "fun fact" for ya. In 1986, while they were in the studio recording License To Ill, Slayer was in the adjacent studio recording their LP, "Reign In Blood". According to Kerry King (Guitarist for Slayer), Rick Ruben offered him "a couple hundred bucks" to come over and lay some guitar down for this track. He said it took him about half an hour to come up with, and record the main riff and the solo. Neat, huh?
Fun fact, the guy playing the guitar solo is Kerry King from Slayer. He also plays the guitar in fight for your right to party. It was when the beastie boys & Slayer were with Def Jam.
As far as the pinnacle of music videos and the MTV era, Beasties are certainly one of the most crucial groups in the evolution of music videos, hip hop and punk. But yea, they’re music videos changed the art of music videos and influenced countless other artists.
I listened to this driving down a So Cal highway at 12am back in 87 in my boyfriends Suzuki Samarai. Fun times! I regret never seeing them in concert and now I'll never get the chance.
Good ol' Kerry King of Slayer shredding the guitar. Slayer got picked up by Def Jam because they were the only major label willing to sign them on. Turns out they were recording in the same location as Beastie Boys back in the day and got this gem done.
They were truly pioneers! They were awesome! Lyrics were funny, videos done on the cheap, but still good! They poked fun at themselves & everything else! Sadly, only one remains. The others have passed.
The guy playing lead guitar is Kerry King from Slayer, he was also on Fight For You Right To Party. If you ever do metal bands defenatllly check Slayer out!
When these guys rolled up on the scene in the late 80s we were all like wtf is that. Rap was just fledgling at the time, and the BB took that and mixed it with metal and punk. There was no other energy out there to match. They were absolute monsters who ruled that day. Then came Paul's Boutique and we were once again all like wtf is that?
This was way before the internet and smart phones. This was the best way to sell their music by recording eye catching, entertaining videos that could then be played on MTV. Beastie boys never disappointed!
Rest in Power Adam Yauch. Even in his last few years of life he spent time, his time that he didn’t know how much he had left of, to educate people about getting yearly checkups once you turn 40. I started once I turned 30. He was such a talented artist and the family he had shared with his other bandmates is such a huge loss to all and any music lover. Also, all of their videos were directed by MCA after the first record on. These are the first white boys in a Hip-Hop band along with MC Search. They were the first to embrace the culture, not just the music! I don’t count Vinila Ice because he was a record label creation. When the Beasties did their own thing from the second album onwards they just got better and better.
If you like guitar work, check out this cover of “while my guitar gently weeps”, originally by the Beatles. This was at a tribute concert for George Harrison (one of the Beatles) who passed away back in 2001. If you hang tight, Prince comes out of nowhere with a bonkers guitar solo! th-cam.com/video/dWRCooFKk3c/w-d-xo.html
Licenses to Ill was basically Rick Rubin. After they got out from under his thumb they made one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums of all time. Paul’s Boutique may be a little busy at times but it is a master class of sampling. Then going back to almost all real instruments gave the world Check Your Head. An album of pure psychedelic, Hip-Hop bangers with some incredible social commentaries on the lyrical subjects and some insanely surprising instrumentals and hardcore tracks added into a cake which turned out perfect!!!!! Then Ill Communication which was to me the last album that had that ALL IN vibe. But their was horrible personal issues that they all we’re fighting. Through the Five Burrows was another great album but they should have called it a day then. Adam is a true legend and the fight he put on to finish that album is a rarity to see these days. MCA was the director of all of their Videos and he did an incredible job. Rest IN POWER MCA (Adam Yaugh)
Beastie Boys will forever be one of the best hip hop artists to ever play the game. RiP Adam MCA...also alot of people dont realize that the guy that does the guitar rips is none other than Kerry King co-founder of Slayer. He actually bumps the gorilla off the stage and plays one of the rips.
Please don't forget to pay respect to Adam Nathaniel Yauch aka MCA. He died at age 47 on May 4, 2012 after battling cancer for 3 years. Rest In Peace, MCA
well you have to understand the drama of the video is that they fooled the manager, told him they were a metal band and they're up there rapping. but the clerness of the BB is that they successfully mixed hip pop with rock. they are pioneers of it.
Yo ! This and Motley Crue Shout at the Devil were my first two cassette tapes !!! My first record was Michael Jackson Thriller !!!! My taste is pretty wild after all these years !!! Death Metal , Hardcore Hip Hop and Punk Rock !!! I love your reveiws tho A Dogg !!!
I remember when fight for your rite to party 1st came out and they perform live onMtv music awards. All 3 of em were sooo drunk even fell off the stage. Multiple times if I recall rite lol. Course to a 13yr old they bacame my idols at that point lol
Have you watched RunDMC and Arrowsmiths"Walk this Way"? Very similar to this song. I love the smile on your face. You have a lot of old music to get to enjoy for the first time my.

Appreciations to you for indulging, enjoying and respecting the B Boys. They broke true ground when they landed on this planet. Thanks, again!
More Beastie Boys favs: "Hey Ladies", "Sure Shot", "Shake Your Rump" and "Root Down"!!
Awesome reaction, super fun song! Everyone loves Beastie Boys, always bringing that feel good energy, you gotta keep going down that Beastie rabbit hole! You HAVE to do a reaction for Hey Ladies! Get ready to laugh!
Brass Monkey is a good one as well.
Sure Shot needs to be next. But, you've just started with the Beastie Boys. We can add new songs for you hear for a loooooong time!
Sabotage…
He'll be a beastie boy's fan in no time
"Girls" is a fun clever one
40+ years and they still rock it! Always loved Beastie Boys and still jam them, my kids jam them! 😂 They’ll never be irrelevant or out of style!
Summer of '87, I wore this tape out with nonstop replays on my Sony Walkman.
“Paul Revere” is my favourite from them. I was always hoping for another album from them, unfortunately it never happened. RIP MCA.
Paul Revere!! Won't ever stop loving it
"The New Style" is a great old school Beastie Boys song!!! 👍
Released in November 1986, Licence To Ill is still to this day one of the finest rap albums ever….period!!

Amen to that, my son has my original vinyl copy now, and I bought him the anniversary vinyl.
aahhh!!! Beastie boys!! love em
The cool thing about this song is that the instrumental version of it was used by a group in ECW and WWE known as the F.B.I. (Full Blooded Italians).
You wanna hear where this style comes from, react to RUN - D.M.C. Rock Box... that was essential listening for every Punk Rocker in summer '83 ;-)
I was stationed in Japan when this came out, It was the jam at all the clubs
Beastie boys are fucking coolest band in the world
Being lucky enough to be from Brooklyn (like MCA), this was always my favorite Beasties song.
The line "Managers crazy, he always smokes dust..." refers to Russell Simmons.
The Slayer guitarist was drafted to play on this Beastie Boys song by Rick Rubin, who was recording both Reign in Blood and License to Ill at the same time, in adjacent studios. According to King, he was offered a couple hundred bucks to play the riffs and solo
New Style is a amazing song too

Sure shot or Root down should be next. High plains Drifter should follow. Love your reactions!

The guitar part on this song and fight for your right is played by Kerry King the lead guitarist for Slayer
Happy New Years. Thank you for all the Beastie Boys!
Kerry King from Slayer on that ending guitar solo!
Great reaction! I highly recommend the official videos for "Shake Your Rump" and "Pass the Mic".
Don't forget _Body Movin'_ !
Excellent way to bring in the New Year. Happy New Year everyone!!
ADogg - you GOTTA do the Beastie video for “Root Down”. It’s a great flashback that shows how things were at the time, and a solid song.
I listened to this driving down a So Cal highway at 12am back in 87 in my boyfriends Suzuki Samarai. Fun times! I regret never seeing them in concert and now I'll never get the chance.
Check out their first ever video and song, “She’s on It.” It came out before they became really popular. You’ll enjoy it!
Shadrach. It's their best video. Great song. You'll love it.
BBs are legends all of their songs are dope! Whatchu want is my #1 fave from them 😍
Saw them perform this at their only Brooklyn show in 2007... surreal.
Good ol' Kerry King of Slayer shredding the guitar. Slayer got picked up by Def Jam because they were the only major label willing to sign them on. Turns out they were recording in the same location as Beastie Boys back in the day and got this gem done.
Paul Revere is one of the classics by them as well
Of their videos, this is my favorite.
The intro, alone is perfection!
Saw em live back in the 80's. What a show! 🔥
They were truly pioneers! They were awesome! Lyrics were funny, videos done on the cheap, but still good! They poked fun at themselves & everything else! Sadly, only one remains. The others have passed.
The story I heard was that they were coming home from NJ to Brooklyn and kept their people up and wrote this song on the train during the trip
The guy playing lead guitar is Kerry King from Slayer, he was also on Fight For You Right To Party. If you ever do metal bands defenatllly check Slayer out!

"Ain't seen the light since we started this band" that's a line from No More No More by Aerosmith.
How has he not done Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys? That's iconic song
You gotta have no doubt these boys had fun during their run in their day! They killed it!
Try a more obscure song like "Shadrach". I can listen to it all the time. But there are so many great songs. Great reaction!
This was way before the internet and smart phones. This was the best way to sell their music by recording eye catching, entertaining videos that could then be played on MTV.
Beastie boys never disappointed!
I have the complete box set of their videos, and it is freaking awesome.
shake your rump is one of their best music.
Shadrach is another great one and kinda underrated
Your smile is infectious!!! Always happy. I love your videos

Love how you just love music. Infectious smile & laughs.
I've still got this on 12 inch...had it about 34 years 😊
the guy who does the guitar solo is Kerry King from Slayer
I used to force all my bands to play this as a cover...it was just fun.
For a change of pace, check out the Beastie Boys instrumental songs. They played their own instruments on The In Sound From Way Out album.
Any song anytime, half of hip hop wouldn't be around like it is without them! Shake your rump, high plains drifter, root down... any song really.
If you like guitar work, check out this cover of “while my guitar gently weeps”, originally by the Beatles. This was at a tribute concert for George Harrison (one of the Beatles) who passed away back in 2001. If you hang tight, Prince comes out of nowhere with a bonkers guitar solo!
th-cam.com/video/dWRCooFKk3c/w-d-xo.html
Omg... I watch this video weekly and get the chills when Prince gets going!! Great tribute and Prince steals the show!! He is just a pure genius!!
I'm so glad you like them, I love them, grew up with them, they are Gods...
Starting my New Year off right with Adogg. Happy 2022, dude.
Bro I guarantee you that I have bought this album Licensed to I'll 4 times since it came out in 1986! Amazing stuff! Put them on the map!!!
There will never be another group like them
3 mc's and 1 DJ we be getting down with no delay. These guys are so funny and talented 😅
The Beastie Boys are my Faves! You gotta check out "Three MCs And One DJ". That's the dopest song and video.
Classic mid-80’s. The guitar solo is done by Kerry King of Slayer (that’s him in the video)
"Open Letter to New York" is a must....
If you're looking for a good beastie boys song "say it" is what you're after.
They were just babies in this video!
The crazy manager in the back of the bus smoking dust was Russell Simmons
If the Beasties are playing it's a party!
They were my first concert!

That was Slayer's Kerry King on guitar.
Hearing you call them a masterpiece warms my old 47 year old heart more than you could know.
Kerry King from Slayer making an appearance playing that solo.

If you from LA you should of heard this song, they always play it on the radio in California lol
BEASTIES! You gotta do "Hey Ladies"
You could literally pick any one of their songs and it was a chart topper
This is one of their best songs, imo
Guitar solo was by Kerry King of Slayer!
well you have to understand the drama of the video is that they fooled the manager, told him they were a metal band and they're up there rapping. but the clerness of the BB is that they successfully mixed hip pop with rock. they are pioneers of it.
Brass Monkey by Beastie Boys
Look for "Ch-Check it out" - it's the Beasties in their prime with a super fun video!
Beastie Boy's are a Legend
It's a shame there will never be another Beastie Boys because no one can afford to clear an album's worth of samples now.
Yo ! This and Motley Crue Shout at the Devil were my first two cassette tapes !!! My first record was Michael Jackson Thriller !!!! My taste is pretty wild after all these years !!!
Death Metal , Hardcore Hip Hop and Punk Rock !!! I love your reveiws tho A Dogg !!!
