Fun fact: the guy on the flute is Jeremy Steig, who played as the Paid Piper in Shrek 4. His father was William Steig, writer of the first Shrek novel, later adapted into an animated movie.
The flute riff came from Jeremy Steig's 1970 song _Howlin' For Judy_ then it was sampled in 1994 by the Beasties then in 2010 Steig played the flute parts in the movie. A 40 year saga.
Heck yeah. They weren't showing off their cars, money, girls or trying to act tough. They were just 3 friends enjoying their craft and having fun! Every video they made just looked like a good time
The Beasties, to me, are like the Beatles...every once in a while, there comes a night where I realize we can never see them perform together ever again. And I get angry. And then I get sad. And then I just put on their albums until the sun comes up.
I was their last show at Bonnaroo. No one knew MCA had cancer. They just rocked it and left everyone smiling. And then the news came later. Blew me away
Look at this way: their performance for you would have been work for them. Enjoy the Beasties' freedom. Also I love knowing that I did see them live. Namaste
There were 4 samples in the song: ‘Sure Shot’ by the Beastie Boys (1994) ------------------------- 1. ‘Howling For Judy’ - Jeremy Steig (1969) (Which is the flute riff looped throughout the song along with the double bass riff in the background.) ------------------------ 2, ‘The Funny Sides of Moms Mabley (Side 1)’ - Moms Mabley (1963) (Which is the record being scratched in the bridge of the song and the vocal sample saying: “Aww yes, indeed it’s fun times” at 1:56) ------------------------ 3. ‘Rock The House’ - Run D.M.C (1985) (Which are the drum sounds used on top of the Jeremy Steig sample in the outro of the song and the vocal sample saying the lines: “B-Boys! B-Girls” at 3:05) ------------------------ 4. 'That's Impossible' - Little Caesar’s TV Commercial (1993) (Which is the dog barking sound effect used right when the song starts.)
This album is etched into my soul, heard it several hundreds of times yet I hear new details and nuances every single listen. Recently I discovered a bass-line that I had somehow missed; instead of playing it on my reasonably fancy hi-fi, it was revealed to me on my low-budget sound-bar at work. This album has so many layers, so many styles, and such oozing abundance of talent and genius - this is something we will not witness again in the future.
Was there ever a rap group out there having more fun than the Beastie Boys? These days these fools are more interested in looking good, sounding hard, insulting the guy next to them.The Beastie's were just about Rocking out and having a good time!
+Adam Carmichael I can't comment on RunDMC, though I'll take your word for it. My musical taste is so mixed between rap and rock. I like anywhere from gangsta rap to slip knot.
This is basically my source of inspiration - when current music seems too overproduced and without authentic substance I come back to this...the lyrics, the beats, the flow, the voices and the unique and unpredictable visual storytelling always gets me attention...'cause you can't, you won't. And you don't stop!!!
They didn't just pop it out, they crafted it. They may have just dropped a track sometimes, but I know they frequently just geeked out on it and PLAYED with it, until they got something entirely insane and overloaded with cool, chill grooves.

That's after they got a lot of crap from snowflakes for their earlier stuff lol. The music didn't suffer for it though. Everything they put out is amazing. I hope Ad Rock and Mike D continue to put stuff out. RIP MCA
3:08 I always loved that little non-verbal communication between MCA and Mike D at the end. I don't know why it cracks me up so much. I think it's the gravitas they put into it.
I bought this when it came out..I was 15 and it changed my life. I dyed my hair blonde,bought some black puma skateboard trainers.I must of listened to this album a thousand times. There was a legendary club in Newport South Wales called TJ’s and I would ask the DJ for this every Saturday. When it come on I would go absolutely crazy. This is a timeless masterpiece ✌🏾
That's funny. I first started to listen to Beastie Boys in 1984 and was obsessed with adrock. I made my mom take me to the mall and search every shoe store until I found the exact pair of Adidas that he wore. I used to decorate my bedroom with White Castle hamburger boxes and empty Budweiser cans too LOL. I was 14. Oh, and the ouja board said I was supposed to marry Adrock.😢❤
Word! Happy Anniversary! yea we are getting old but so tfw. We are the freshest middle aged/ sub-old generation! Be proud of that. We could have been here at anytime in written or unwritten history, but we all made it to here and now together! I fucking love you guys!
I don't have the words to describe the vibe that I get every time I hear these guys....in my early twenties I used to work in the coolest Rock Bar in Lisbon called "Johnny Guitar" (this in the early 90's), and this bar was well knowned by his heavy environment but really it was a place where you could see Punks, Heavies, Gothics, Rastafarians, Skinheads, Grungers, Hipsters, well, all kind of people hanging out in peace at least 80% of the time (at least inside) and the music was also equally ecletic, you could be hearing Motorhead or Pantera and sudenlly it would change to House of Pain or Beastie Boys...and man...seeing all that different people going crazy listening to "Sabotage" or "Sure Shot" it was a experience that I still won't forget after more than 30 years....good music it's good music, it doesn't matter what genre it is made and this guys were just incredible!!! I will hear them untill I sitll can hear anything at all, lol. It's a shame we lost one of them so soon, so my respects to all the Beastie Boys family, RIP Adam Yauch...

The beasties sure knew how to rock the mic the crowd the stage the radio the stadium the vinyl the cd and the mp3 ! They stood the test of time and went out on a high sadly after MCA was taken from the world too soon . Pure hip hop from the days of Krush groove and licence to ill up till their last LP . I am so greatful to have grown up when i did and been part of hip hops golden generation . I still have my beastie boys jacket with all the badges on and a few VW badges glued to it in the the attic :)
The dog part always makes me smile. Me and my family had some German Shepards. Good guard dogs. Sure Shot is one of my favorite Beastie Boys song. I like a lot of their songs, pretty much every Beastie Boys song is dope.
"I want to say a little something that's long overdue..." If you watch the old Beastie's videos, especially some of the behind the scenes stuff, you know that MCA grew up a lot. They all did, but his transformation was really something.
Man I gotta say it limits your worldview if you outright “hate” any music genre. It’s perfectly acceptable to like metal and other music genres. For some reason it seems like metal fans are particularly bad about limiting themselves to just one genre. That’s just so limiting when there is SO MUCH INCREDIBLE music out there from ALL Genres. I really like metal. I prefer more of the Hardcore sound-Black Flag, Bad Brains etc. but I can enjoy Slayer and love rap, country, pop. The “Metal” group I LOVE from more modern music is a band called “Torche”-absolutely incredible and unique sound. Try to expand your horizonsz. There are objectively “good” examples of all genres. As for Hip Hop, I’m guessing it’s the energy? Lyricism? Inventiveness? Of the Beastie Boys that causes you to enjoy them? I’d suggest OutKast for sure if you like those three aspects of the Beastie Boys. As for current artists, Run the Jewels is a group of two guys that should blow you away- Killer Mike-one of the most intelligent and imposing lyricists ever and El-P-one of the greatest producers ever who is a great rapper as well.
@@GoZags43 I’m definitely a metalhead but I listen to almost everything. Great music is great music. You are 100% correct. I listen to everything from Pantera to Smokey Robinson. Pretty much anything from the 50’s to the late 2000’s. Disco, Funk, Hip Hop/ Rap, Classic Rock etc. There is no favorite genre for me. I’m a chameleon of musical tastes and I love it. I’d hate to be tied to just one genre. There’s so much great music out there.
I remember bumping this and some other beastie hits when I was 13 playing COD black ops online lol playing it on the mic like an asshole. They were my gateway to hip hop along with Run DMC. I really enjoyed them because they didn’t subscribe to the trash culture that has always kept hip hop from its great potential. As I got older I thought to be cool I had to be on that blingy gang shit and I’ve come full circle realizing these guys are such a powerful influence to have and its incredible how many changes came to their attitudes and sounds while remaining relevant and being the first white rappers to ever really be accepted by the hip hop community. RIP MCA. This music will always be a positive in my childhood memories.
@@AsukaLangleyS02 if this song is so shit then what the fuck are you doing talking to someone who likes it in the comment section? Take your music snobbery somewhere else bud, I don’t care for it.
ILL COMMUNICATION IS ONE OF THE FINEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED AND CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER WHEN I BOUGHT THE CD THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED! THE TALENT THESE GUYS HAVE AND UNFORTUNETLY HAD R.I.P. ADROCK IS TRULEY SHOWCASED IN THIS MASTERPIECE
I didn't know they had CDs for Liscensed to I'll so early on. I had the Cassette tape in '86 but I was I years old. My older sister(R.I.P.) introduced me to it. She was 12 years older than me.
Not many had the longevity and popularity of the Beastie Boys. Almost 4 decades. I think what helped make them last is their ability to add comedy and humor (like every B BOYS video). So much fun. Always
“I wanna say a little something that’s long over do, but disrespecting women has go to be do. To all the mothers, and the sisters, and the wives and friends I wanna open my love and respect to the end.” - M.C.A RIP to an inspiration
I thought the Beastie Boys were pretty good back in the 1980's. Then they came back on the scene in the 90's and were like a thousand times better than ever before. I wonder what happened.
Dug this out , and you just forget how fucking good this tune is. The drum break , the flute break and their flow is just hip hop perfection. Still kicking it after 30 years. BOSS!!!
If you read the Beastie Boys Book, this song firmly ensconces itself as one of their top tier signature songs. From the Lee Perry reference to the apology to the female sex, this song is a hodgepodge of their musical prowess, and this is a powerful song. I digress. THIS SONG IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MOTHER#$%^@ KICKASS. This is one of my favorite BBoys songs (Shadrach is a close second).
It always blows my mind, especially now, that 3 Jewish kids from Brooklyn made such noise and banged so hard in musical history. Game changing ass kicking history makers. Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D stand tall
Hey Brandon. Great to see that there's still some Beastie boys fans out there. Brandon keep rocking the Beastie boys cuz you know you can't you won't and you don't stop!

I simply can't get enough of this BEAT. It seems it was created yesterday. So unique. Beastie Boys are ahead their time.
Always fresh. It took a little listening to appreciate new stuff by them, because it was different, still always them, but different every time.
The Beatles of rap.
Yea no says how hard this beat is !!
Yeag! Best!
The flute adds a whole nother element/vibe. Big fan of brass or wind intsturments in East Coast hip hop.
This song still bangs, so refreshing when you ain't heard it for ages.
fo real
I havent heard it for 23 years since i stopped going to rock clubs !
I love them. I mean it.
I listen to them all the time but it’s always good!
Awesome!
1994 what a year for music!!!
8 years today.
Keep resting well Yauch. You are missed.
Can't believe it's been 8 yrs !
I won't forget the day I read on the news that he died. I was actually at Disneyland...sad day at the "Happiest Place on Earth." RIP MCA
Part of my childhood died that day
more like rocking out
Atleast he will live forever with all their timeless hits..rip
Doesn't matter what mood I'm in, the Beastie Boys always makes me happy. Love how they showed the world that music can surely be fun
Heck yeah. They weren't showing off their cars, money, girls or trying to act tough. They were just 3 friends enjoying their craft and having fun! Every video they made just looked like a good time
Late afternoon a work. Incentive on the low. Slap some B-boys on and I'm high energy and happy. Nothing like them. The best.
True my friend true 👍 Beastie Boys forever ✌️
The Beasties, to me, are like the Beatles...every once in a while, there comes a night where I realize we can never see them perform together ever again. And I get angry. And then I get sad. And then I just put on their albums until the sun comes up.
Maybe MCA and John Lennon are doing a collabo in The Great Beyond. ;)
I was their last show at Bonnaroo. No one knew MCA had cancer. They just rocked it and left everyone smiling. And then the news came later. Blew me away
🥺
Look at this way: their performance for you would have been work for them. Enjoy the Beasties' freedom. Also I love knowing that I did see them live. Namaste
@Martin Luther there is nothing that is even like the equivalent of the Beatles. love the Beasties
Can't believe these dudes were a decade into this in their 20s.
Much love to Kate Schellenbach and MCA.
Beastie boys were and are the benchmark of a white man in rap. Full stop!!
She nailed it.
Damnit, this hiphop era is irreplaceable
Damn right.
I was 17 in 1994
It's so true! Check me you may like it. I was just picturing the 90's and this playing on mtv on a nice summer day!
The Hip Hop and the Rock was so on point and original
MeatVision I hope some catch onto my music videos! I grew up listening to Beastie Boys! ✌🏼
This is not really hip-hop.
So many banger lines, but "I'm that kid in the corner" hits hard.
I think I've heard MC Ride playing with that cadence
So many!
I woke up this morning on November 21, 2024 and declare this Beastie Boys Thursday, all day!🎉🎉🎉
If there was ever a more original group in rap I never heard of em... Beasties are dope
This is required listening for everyone who likes good music
This is required listing, period. 😏

Nope. This is out-side garbage "hip-hop" if you listen. Elements of Punk and creative sampling. Way beyond "rap" which is what "hip hop" is.

They stood the test of time and went out on a high sadly after MCA was taken from the world too soon . Pure hip hop from the days of Krush groove and licence to ill up till their last LP . I am so greatful to have grown up when i did and been part of hip hops golden generation . I still have my beastie boys jacket with all the badges on and a few VW badges glued to it in the the attic :)
Dont forget the compact cassette tape
@@n.schneiderman7993 Lol I was just going to say that!! Good lookin! 👌
2:07 this man was such a great person and even reflected on their last album by dropping this little line that hits different RIP MCA
The dog part always makes me smile. Me and my family had some German Shepards. Good guard dogs. Sure Shot is one of my favorite Beastie Boys song. I like a lot of their songs, pretty much every Beastie Boys song is dope.
That dog part always makes MY DOG smile!

2:08 One of the greatest rap verses I've ever heard and possibly of all time. R.I.P Adam Yauch aka MCA 🙏❤️
I think he’s brilliant this entire track “ I got more rhymes than I got grey hair and that’s a lot cause I got my share”
*I* wanna offer my love and respect -
as well…
They were so damn talented and unique.
*How many timeless classics can one band produce?....August 2019, still better than almost all of today's music. You guys are.....BEASTS!.*
The Beastie Boys ALWAYS looked like they were having a blast! 🕺🏼💥
"I want to say a little something that's long overdue..." If you watch the old Beastie's videos, especially some of the behind the scenes stuff, you know that MCA grew up a lot. They all did, but his transformation was really something.
He was a poser, never belonged in the group.
@@salazam wtf?
If someone told me they could bring back MCA but I wouldn’t exist, zero second decision right there folks. B-Boys forever RIP MCA.
Nice usage of the weird little flute on this one 👌
I’m here for the weird little flute as well.
Same
I think they stole the idea for the flute from kid cudi
@@williampatrick9864 Except Kid Kudi was 10 years old when Sure Shot came out in 1994.

I'm a metal music fan and hate rap,but these guys I can listen to their songs over and over. RIP Adam Yauch!🙏
Man I gotta say it limits your worldview if you outright “hate” any music genre. It’s perfectly acceptable to like metal and other music genres. For some reason it seems like metal fans are particularly bad about limiting themselves to just one genre. That’s just so limiting when there is SO MUCH INCREDIBLE music out there from ALL Genres. I really like metal. I prefer more of the Hardcore sound-Black Flag, Bad Brains etc. but I can enjoy Slayer and love rap, country, pop. The “Metal” group I LOVE from more modern music is a band called “Torche”-absolutely incredible and unique sound. Try to expand your horizonsz. There are objectively “good” examples of all genres.
As for Hip Hop, I’m guessing it’s the energy? Lyricism? Inventiveness? Of the Beastie Boys that causes you to enjoy them? I’d suggest OutKast for sure if you like those three aspects of the Beastie Boys. As for current artists, Run the Jewels is a group of two guys that should blow you away- Killer Mike-one of the most intelligent and imposing lyricists ever and El-P-one of the greatest producers ever who is a great rapper as well.
@@GoZags43 I’m definitely a metalhead but I listen to almost everything. Great music is great music. You are 100% correct. I listen to everything from Pantera to Smokey Robinson. Pretty much anything from the 50’s to the late 2000’s. Disco, Funk, Hip Hop/ Rap, Classic Rock etc. There is no favorite genre for me. I’m a chameleon of musical tastes and I love it. I’d hate to be tied to just one genre. There’s so much great music out there.
Metal music fan?? Metal head.. say metal head dude.

So you don't hate rap
One of the illest beats ever! 🔥🔥🔥 Beastie Boys were my life!
Are STILL MY LIFE !!!!

Same here. Sucks that he's gone. I love them. They taught the world how to party lol
Creepy NutsのANNでこの曲知ってめっちゃ好きになって

you guys killed it here in japan too
This song is still pure fire after all these years. And honestly, it just seems like it ages like a fine wine.
True Icons!! The only band l know where every gene of musicians loved their music!!
Also, that look at 3:00 cracks me up every time.
"Guys? You gonna let me down?" lol
I sure miss them. I consider myself lucky to have seen them live at Lollapalooza in 94, than years later at the Great Western Forum.
same here lolla 94 carson ca
Lollapalooza '94, St. Paul, MN
I don't care what color their skin is, they brought their message to their people back then. Well done.
First white boys to revolutionize rap hip hop
You could take 'white' out of your sentence and it would still be true.
I remember bumping this and some other beastie hits when I was 13 playing COD black ops online lol playing it on the mic like an asshole. They were my gateway to hip hop along with Run DMC. I really enjoyed them because they didn’t subscribe to the trash culture that has always kept hip hop from its great potential.
As I got older I thought to be cool I had to be on that blingy gang shit and I’ve come full circle realizing these guys are such a powerful influence to have and its incredible how many changes came to their attitudes and sounds while remaining relevant and being the first white rappers to ever really be accepted by the hip hop community.
RIP MCA. This music will always be a positive in my childhood memories.
Word !
Bumping an awfu song?
@@AsukaLangleyS02 yeah dude, just like you are!! \m/
@@sswafflez4281 This song is shit, and what song am I bumping? Like everything off of License to Ill is better and wasn't watered down.
@@AsukaLangleyS02 if this song is so shit then what the fuck are you doing talking to someone who likes it in the comment section? Take your music snobbery somewhere else bud, I don’t care for it.
2:08 LOVE & RESPECT to the end!!!
ILL COMMUNICATION IS ONE OF THE FINEST ALBUMS EVER RECORDED AND CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER WHEN I BOUGHT THE CD THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED! THE TALENT THESE GUYS HAVE AND UNFORTUNETLY HAD R.I.P. ADROCK IS TRULEY SHOWCASED IN THIS MASTERPIECE
I didn't know they had CDs for Liscensed to I'll so early on. I had the Cassette tape in '86 but I was I years old. My older sister(R.I.P.) introduced me to it. She was 12 years older than me.
Not many had the longevity and popularity of the Beastie Boys. Almost 4 decades. I think what helped make them last is their ability to add comedy and humor (like every B BOYS video). So much fun. Always

The amount of Personality they put into their music is really cool.
Probably the best track you will ever witness!!
‘94... one of the best years for music.
THE.
and best year rock music
Argubly best year Movies too
yeah, i’d say 96 might just about top it though, for films and music
Love and respect to the end. Love you ladies.
I got that tattooed on my foot right after Yauch died
火曜の深夜に聞きたくなるんだよなあ

I thought the Beastie Boys were pretty good back in the 1980's. Then they came back on the scene in the 90's and were like a thousand times better than ever before. I wonder what happened.
Anyone else a 13 yr old listening to this in 2016?? Older songs are much better than the crap nowadays.
holy shit!hello friend
+Kai Bart you too buddy
fuck off
there is plenty good music nowadays you're just not looking hard enough
Check is out on rap on TH-cam like all rap music like all old school rap music like all hip-hop music like all 90s-80s 💯😀😀🎶🎶🇺🇸🙏👍👍
It's 2017 (or whatever year it is now). The Beastie Boys deserve an UNedited upload of their works.
How can you not be a Beastie fan.
Dug this out , and you just forget how fucking good this tune is. The drum break , the flute break and their flow is just hip hop perfection. Still kicking it after 30 years. BOSS!!!
2022 and still one of the best bangers of all time !!!!
Rest in Peace Berry. He`s exploring the Intergalactic Planetary system.
Hip hop masterpiece, plain and simple.
I remember when I was younger the whistling tune in this song scared the shit out of me. And to this day it somehow still does.
Beastie Boys pioneered modern hiphop
If you read the Beastie Boys Book, this song firmly ensconces itself as one of their top tier signature songs. From the Lee Perry reference to the apology to the female sex, this song is a hodgepodge of their musical prowess, and this is a powerful song.
I digress.
THIS SONG IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MOTHER#$%^@ KICKASS. This is one of my favorite BBoys songs (Shadrach is a close second).
Agree with all of what you said! This song is one of their best, for many reasons!
Apology to the female sex…
And then you call them “motherfing badass”
Interesting.
Who’s listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
MASTERPIECE.
Yo
All the OGs
Probably more often than I should, tbh.😂
HERE..never considered about leaving 🫨
It always blows my mind, especially now, that 3 Jewish kids from Brooklyn made such noise and banged so hard in musical history. Game changing ass kicking history makers. Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D stand tall
Kings.
RIP MCA, 2020 son the world has gone bonkers! TY Beastie Boys for entertaining me for a long time...Peace...
true pioneers and visionaries in the music industry and popular culture.
"I'm that Kid in the corner.." for some reason gets me sooo hype
1 hour ago. You must be having Beastie boys flashbacks now. Word up.
Hey Brandon. Great to see that there's still some Beastie boys fans out there. Brandon keep rocking the Beastie boys cuz you know you can't you won't and you don't stop!

@@stevenperea495 u kiddn? the vacuum of space couldn't erase the beasties from my conciousness. with the last breath i'd proly shout U GOTTA FIGHT.
