Of course I bought the tape as soon as it came out! I never got a chance ot see these videos to busy chasing girls and living what I thought was a life!
Paul´s Boutique is such a underrated album. Great album. Still hard to believe there will be never be another new Beastie Boys record. AND SHE THINKS SHE'S THE PASSIONATE ONE!
@@MR-cp4sj It was definitely underrated when it was first released, which was kind of inevitable I think. It actually sold in what would have been fairly respectable numbers for most albums at the time, but when the previous album moved 9-10 million copies and ended up being the best-selling hip hop album of the decade then it's gonna be really hard to meet everyone's expectations. They obviously made the right move by doing something completely different rather than making Licensed to Ill Part 2 (which is probably what they would have been forced to do had they stayed at Def Jam). Probably wouldn't consider it underrated to day though, seeing as it's widely considered one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time (or maybe just one of the greatest albums period, regardless of genre).
Hell yeah , i still come back to this one now and again and i find it more and more impressive every time. Despite all the details and all the random stuff going on the whole thing like you said just groves with the music. Beautifully edited .
Directed by Adam Bernstein, who went on to become one of the most successful directors in television. Capitol's investment in the Beastie Boys was substantial, and the sample-rich Paul's Boutique album was much more time-consuming and expensive to produce than had been forecast. Consequently, the label was driven to recoup their investment and wanted a video that would garner brainwash rotation on MTV from the outset, rather than a raw, hip hop style clip that would be relegated to 120 Minutes, the once-a-week , late night programming ghetto for rap and alternative music. While Licensed To Ill had moved nine million units for Def Jam and featured two hit videos, the perception three years later at Capitol was that the group's goofy party animal image was played out and needed a creative overhaul to reach a broader audience that would appreciate the quantum leap in sophistication of Paul's Boutique. There was concern that if the group controlled the development and production/direction of the video -- which was their inclination -- that it could become a financial runaway train that might subvert the label's imaging strategy. So after some prickly discussions, it was agreed that an outside director/production company would be brought in. I recommended Bernstein based on several factors. He had some hip hop cred, having directed videos for Public Enemy and EPMD, who had been labelmates with the Beastie Boys at Def Jam. He had displayed a deft sense of humor in his work for They Might Be Giants, and "Hey Ladies" had to be jam-packed fun. Finally, Bernstein had just wrapped "Love Shack" for The B52s, which was just breaking as an MTV sensation (it went on to win Video of the Year). The group reluctantly agreed on Bernstein, and a concept was developed with the band that mashed up the preposterous Rudy Ray Moore Dolemite blaxploitation movies with Saturday Night Fever, peppered with additional sight gags based on the lyrics. The wardrobe -- "I like that polyester look" -- was from Western Costume's collection of Sonny Bono outfits. MTV loved the video and hammered it until the single stalled disappointingly at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ultimately the Beastie Boys felt that the "Hey Ladies" video was more Bernstein's style than theirs, and subsequently Adam Yauch directed all their videos under the Nathaniel Hornblower pseudonym -- Nathaniel was his middle name -- until 1994's "Sabotage," which was directed by Spike Jonze. Mike D's girlfriend (later wife) Tamra Davis had co-directed Sonic Youth's "100%" with Jonze, who was known at the time for run-and-gun skateboard and dirt bike videos, which Mike admired. MTV gave Yauch's videos (which today are rightfully appreciated as classics) more limited hip hop rotations until "Sabotage," which broke wide based on the video's comedic appeal and earned five MTV Video Award nominations but no Moon Man statuette until it was recognized with a special award in 2009.
I was about 20 when the Beasties came on the scene. I could never have predicted that 38 years later I'd consider them the most authentic band ever. They were true friends who stopped when they sadly had to and have done nothing to mess with their memory ever since. Total respect and the music is just pure gold. These guys get nothing but love for what they did together.
What I love about this video is how much into it Ad Rock is. You'll never see anyone throw themselves as 100%, joyfully, enthusiastically into a music video as much as Ad does in this video. Just wonderful to see
This is easily one of the sickest beats ever! I don't care what anyone says. Say what you will about the 80s but those of you who missed it will never know how fn awesome it was.
I love so many things about this video but the fact that they even painted a woman like a clock to stand in front of a giant clock for the line “your body’s on time and your mind is appealing” is just fucking amazing.
Bought license to Ill today on vinyl wasn't evening going for that was hidden behind some new 2021 rap garbage took me 2 seconds to decide on my pick today..yea will never be another so let's just enjoy what was definitely the best group ever in my lifetime RIP MCA
@@Maria_Builds I bought license to ill the day before it was 1st released, I was in the "Record shop" while they closing and they had just got a delivery and when he opened the box I saw the cover and begged him to let have it now, still have it now
Won't ever be another album like Paul's Boutique because no one could ever afford to sample like this... never another video like this where they're having fun and thrilled to be doing it
Not THESE days. Gilbert O'Sullivan made sure of that in the early 1990s. Now you gotta pay, I've done enough karaoke where the song credits include the writers of the songs being sampled.
@Shalom Absalom interestingly enough (at least to me) they cleared just about every sample before usage in this album. It was made just before the landmark Biz Markie case, so getting samples were much less expensive and at a lower rate than before
I loved how the Beasties would just make random things cool again: platform shoes, 8-track tapes, Foghat, beatnik chicks in smocks, Free James Brown T-shirts. They knew that "More cowbell!" made everything cooler way before Christopher Walken or all the fratboys who imitated him did.
The fashions in this video seemed so retro, incredible to think that the heyday of disco was only a dozen years in the past. There used to be huge changes in fashion and music across a decade, remember? Those were the days when the culture was still vital.
every one of their videos are hilarious, and Hey Ladies is right up there. Nothing and no decade beats the 80's (70's are close) when it comes to music.
1.3 k people dont have a fucking clue that shit is the bomb pauls boutique way way ahead of its time nobody got it in 89 that shit went way above everybodys heads
love they flow there first album is in the top ten rap albums ever, a lot of people hated on there second album cause they left def jam! I'm a black male who heard them since 1985 or 86 love whatever they do!
I knew there was a lot of samples in Hey Ladies. But never noticed (Deep Purple - Hush) @ 2:08, until just now. Hah!!! I love it when you discover something new after years of listening to a song...That's why listening to The Beastie Boys never gets old!!!
This is an example of good sampling: using a small portion of a song to make something new, as opposed to getting a song, adding something small to it and claiming it as your own.
A song? I hear 2 more that they sampled. - Deep Purple's "Hush" when they walk in the disco and a line out of Ballroom Blitz - "She Thinks She's The Passionate One!" And then there's the Karate fighters - so 1970's! But yes, a far better use of the sampling than just using one song and changing the words to your own thing like they do now.
ANYBODY that doesn't own this album should be ashamed of themselves,'Pauls Boutique'(from a production standpoint anyway is still lightyears ahead of most hip hop/or any music for that matter),& it's 25 years old....ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!
Gavin Verhoeven I love that sample from Ballroom Blitz so much. The fact that two of my favorite songs have the same line probably just says something about me, tbh
I like how they inserted small samples of 80s funk and integrated them into the song to keep the flow. Well done!!! I noticed samples from Cameo's "Shake Your Pants" at 1:07 and Roger Troutman's "So Ruff, So Tuff" at 3:19.
When this song came out I was a junior in college and we went and found the same get-ups and it was funny because I'm 6-5 and threw some platform shoes on for Halloween party and we all came out and dance to this it was very funny still a great song
Paul's Boutique is probably has the most samples for any record and I have spent many years searching for those original tracks. Mix Master Mike, my musical library thanks thee!
I want to run screaming back to these days. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh! Happy New Year everyone!
I’m one of the first people in Minnesota to get Lyme disease. Happened around 1982 or 1983 but could have been as early as 1981. I was a teenager mowing lawns in the neighborhood and came into the house with a bullseye rash on my right upper arm. I showed it to my brother who said, oh that’s probably a tick bite, it’s nothing”. Almost nobody in Minnesota had heard of Lyme disease in the early 80’s. I was finally diagnosed in June 2013 at age 46. It’s been a roller coaster ride since of temporary fantastic recovery to 2017 feeling so sick I thought I had just 2-3 years to live.
Paul's boutique the most underrated hip hop album ever I wouldn't necessarily call it a hip hop record it's a great record overall very underrated great follow-up to such a huge hit two license to Ill beasties rule forever rip MCA
One of the few songs from the album tl get any airtime. It’s depressing and yet a little special that this album didn’t get the notoriety deserves. More than 30 years later, true fans now have a some “hidden knowledge” they share and can all look back on.
I would say that Paul's Boutique is like, a 'cult classic' now, but I can't. Cuz it's actually Double Platinum now, and Rolling Stone has it at #156 on their 'Greatest Albums of All Time' list. I bought this joint the day it dropped, and I'll admit I wasn't really feeling it at first. It lacked the teenage antics and rebellious spirit of their first album, and the whole sampling thing was lost on me - I was way too young to appreciate the production. Over the course of the next few months it steadily grew on me, and I would the tape in my Walkman (the iPod of my day, and now even those are gone) to listen to one track or another that I liked, and it was amazing even in those cheap headphones. Before I knew it, Paul's Boutique had crept into my daily rotation for the subway ride to school or wherever. Later, it entered my 'albums I would need if I was trapped on a desert island' list. I kinds think maybe the rest of the world adopted Paul's Boutique in the same manner, since it sorta flopped upon release, but slowly but surely it became a 'must have' for anyone who loves great music. And this album bangs, from beginning to end, and at this point it's my favorite Beastie Boys joint. And yes - I would still need this record if I was trapped on a desert island.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj well, it was a flip and stayed that way for a while until they regained the elite status permenantly. It took a long time for it to go platinum and is still one of the most underrated albums. But you're correct, it probably isn't so much a cult classic as just underrated.
I got a girl that says she's the fabulous one. Louisville, ky I was at the concert my 8th-grade year in 88. Set the tone for my life and concerts. AWESOME!
Can't go thru all 2,665 comments on here, maybe somebody already said this? I love the reference to Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" in the line "She thinks she's the passionate one". They even sing it the same way they did in that tune. Thumbs up!
Had the Paul's Boutique cassette when it came out in 89. It's crazy to think that the distance between this video and the movie they were goofing on (Saturday Night Fever) were only 11 to 12 years apart. Damm, I'm getting old.
She’s got a gold tooth,
You know she’s hard core.
She show you a good time,
Then she’ll show you the door.

I bought this joint the day it dropped, and I'll admit I wasn't really feeling it at first. It lacked the teenage antics and rebellious spirit of their first album, and the whole sampling thing was lost on me - I was way too young to appreciate the production.
Over the course of the next few months it steadily grew on me, and I would the tape in my Walkman (the iPod of my day, and now even those are gone) to listen to one track or another that I liked, and it was amazing even in those cheap headphones.
Before I knew it, Paul's Boutique had crept into my daily rotation for the subway ride to school or wherever.
Later, it entered my 'albums I would need if I was trapped on a desert island' list.
I kinds think maybe the rest of the world adopted Paul's Boutique in the same manner, since it sorta flopped upon release, but slowly but surely it became a 'must have' for anyone who loves great music.
And this album bangs, from beginning to end, and at this point it's my favorite Beastie Boys joint.
And yes - I would still need this record if I was trapped on a desert island.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj well, it was a flip and stayed that way for a while until they regained the elite status permenantly. It took a long time for it to go platinum and is still one of the most underrated albums. But you're correct, it probably isn't so much a cult classic as just underrated.
Best GROUP ever, full stop (my opinion).
I watch this at least 7 times a week. Funky beat, smart rhymes, AMAZING VIDEO!
"I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh" is one of my favorite lines from any song ever
I'm one of the precious few who actually bought Paul's Boutique in 1989 and loved it. Are there any others around here?
Yes. I remember how people thought it was weird and were disappointed in it, because they wanted another Licensed To Ill. I thought it was brilliant.
me too
Got it At Al Bums records in Amherst when i was a jr at university,
Had to buy it 2 or 3 times because I kept wearing out the cassette.
It's very nice to come back here and see some good people who got this!
I feel like if their music were to come out today, they would still be hits. They are timeless:)
Indeed
This low key sounds like disco porn tho
How does this only have 11M views in 2023?
I got a girl that says she's the fabulous one. Louisville, ky I was at the concert my 8th-grade year in 88. Set the tone for my life and concerts. AWESOME!
Can't go thru all 2,665 comments on here, maybe somebody already said this? I love the reference to Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" in the line "She thinks she's the passionate one". They even sing it the same way they did in that tune. Thumbs up!
You aren't important
Perhaps, and yet here I am. And you deemed to notice. :)
89 was a good year!!
When this came out I was floored. Everyone wanted more rock and fight!!! I was down with the funk!!! Loved it forever!!!
This is such an underrated song. So funny & creative.
Greatest B-Boys track.
Had the Paul's Boutique cassette when it came out in 89. It's crazy to think that the distance between this video and the movie they were goofing on (Saturday Night Fever) were only 11 to 12 years apart. Damm, I'm getting old.
the cuts in this are crazy good !!
