Shine. Madonna's tour manager asked Def Jam if Run-DMC could open on her tour. But they were unwilling to pay the $20,000 per show that Run-DMC wanted. So, Russell Simmons said that the Beastie Boys (who opened for Run-DMC) were available for $500/show. They agreed, and that's how it worked out. It wasn't really about white privilege. It was financial.
Exactly. Plus they also wanted Fat Boyz, and Russell lied (pretending to actually be their manager [they assumed he was their manager, lo]). Getting them on Madonnas tour was one of Russell Simmons’ genius moves.
This was also in the documentary. They were cheap and Madonna was pretty new so didn't have the money she has these days. $500 a night for Beasties where Run DMC was $20k!
so glad y'all no the real. It wasn't "white privilege " is was Madonna wanted to make more money and they were cheap
@@jasonmiracle7516 People also forget she came up in the late 70's NYC punk scene with them and did shows together back then. She went pop just as they changed thier sound also. Nothing to do with WP, it was friends helping friends
i also read somewhere that Madonna didn't know they were white🤔
Random story... When I was kid back in the early 80s, I had a Mad Magazine. In it was a line I will never forget. The biggest problem kids of the future will have is to find music loud enough to annoy parents that grew up listening to the Beastie Boys. And you're dead on with the money privilege.
Shine. I'm 52 now, father of 3. My eldest boy a hip hop fanatic started out on a diet of Public enemy and the Beastie Boys. My youngest is two and a half, he really loves to cut some moves to intergalactic. Beasties were vital to the evolution of this hip hop culture that is so important to so many people. Love, peace respect.
Same here! PE and Beastie Boys, but my 15 year old is more into Biggie, Madvillain/MF Doom and the Tribe at this point.
They also had some serious stage experience to get the gig of being an early opener for Madonna. They completely understood how to perform a show 🤘
Paul's Boutique is their best work . The whole album is incredible. Each song leads into the next. I look at it in its totality vs individual tacks . Incredible work.
Love their music SO MUCH! Shine🏴
Very intelligent and even reaction to a very intelligent and even retrospective of an amazing group. I enjoyed that. Shine.
Shine.
First I just feel I really do need to say this about this media concept of -white privilege- by pointing out a rough quote by DR Dre when asked why he wanted to produce Eminem and his reason... "there are 400 million people in the United States and roughly 18% are black ,9% other and 75% white. There is an awful lot more poor white people out there than black that can relate to this kids trailer park rap" and that is my sales target.
Whatcha want. Epic
I agree with your 90%. I'm 52. I literally grew up with this group and the entire hiphop scene as it expanded on the east coast from GMFlash and The Furious Five, Sugarhill, Whodini, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, LL Cool J, RUN DMC. I don't care if your black or white .This is Hiphop. Recognize.
These guys put in the work, the time and the effort to change music forever. Everyone now, owes these guys respect from Papa and Puff to Eminem to Lil Wayne to Run The Jewels to Gramatic and on and on.
The whole Madonna thing was about money, Beasties were available and cheap AND had street cred not only in the burgeoning hiphop scene but as a group and headliners for other groups from the same CBGB scene that Madonna came from before she went pop. THAT is why they got the gig. Its far to easy to just slap white privilege on everything because somebody is white. We as human beings can do better than than see in just black and white, yellow and brown. I posit NWA as an example; Dr Dre had white privilege because he had access to money? Definitely not. Money IS privilege, regardless of skin tone. The world is a bit more grey than the media tries to paint it. Don't believe the Lies. Open your eyes and look and listen. Favorite line in any rap song ever; ("Where did you get your information from? Are you gonna front when revelation comes?") I urge all people to use the grey in their heads to think past color. Put in the work. Put in the effort. Make magic.
I for one believe in the -Dream.
God bless.
< Also 52 and B.E.A.S.T.I.E. Boys were my goto from "Ill Communication" on, And This is what I was coming down to say. TY!
Gray matter on my mind, gray hair on my head... Both relevant. Truth happening.
Mad respect, 100% facts. Rap, hip hop in this area, we're the best of the best. I miss the old school good old days. Young people will never be blessed to grow up in the time we did. I'm 48, I would give up the rest of my days. To be able to go back for a couple of years. Things were much simpler back then, much more relaxed and kind!!!
I saw them open for Madonna in Toronto. We had no idea who they were at the time.
Blew our minds. 🤯
Here, In Europe, in the 80s-90s, BBs were literally ignored by the Black Hip Hop community. I am happy that the sons of these people of my time are starting to take an interest in the BB and recognize their talent.
Honestly, even in the states the black hip hop community FANS didn’t want to give them credit either. All the fans I knew were white and if they were brought up amongst black friends they were discredited.
Back in the early/mid 90s, Beastie Boys toured under the name ‘Quasar’ & played sets made up of hardcore punk covers & their own hardcore songs. Let’s just say, so many people turned up at shows expecting a regular Beastie Boys show….only to find the sets missing all of their rap songs.
I was fortunate enough to see them live on several occasions (In The Round Tour & Reading Festival’98 being two of the best) & they were always on point!!!
The Beastie Boys Book is well worth a read.
Beastie boys were a head of their time!! I'm in my 40's and I was a kid bump'n beastie boys back in the day
Fav album- Paul’s Boutique. Song- Car Thief.
Real talk, you’re the only TH-camr going this deep in the Beastie Boy’s rabbit hole, and it’s awesome!
And we know why… cause Shaka makes music himself and can appreciate the work 💪💪👏👏
Bro that album is nothing but hits.. a true masterpiece. 🧨🧨🍻
Shine. Beasties have been a permanent fixture the last 30 years on my top five artists of all time list. Just discovered you. You’re dope. Down the rabbit hole I go.
That's kind of what set them apart. They were this punk hip hop band that no one had ever seen the likes of. And they didn't just perform it, they lived it. They were a completely unique band that bridged two worlds that ushered in an entirely new generation and they never compromised themselves in the name of making it.
1996 Tibetan Freedom concert was AMAZING!!!
My favorite album from them is License to ill, but my favorite song is 3 MC's and 1 DJ.
shine. I love the beasties because they play all the different music. Rap, lounge, punk, all the best music.
Shine. Beasties are my favorite group of all time. I've introduced them to my 3 boys. 2 of them like them 1 makes fun of the lyrics. I do believe they are the greatest "group" of all time. I can listen to a variety of their music everyday and find something new in it every time. They definitely hold a high rank in Hip Hop history and in the community.
You commenting on this story made it complete . You have so much knowledge in the music game to give validation to the piece
I love all the Beastie Boys' music but what I really love about them is how they navigated the early and mid nineties while staying true to themselves. What was going on at that time in the rock world was completely insane. Everything from Prince Living Color to Metallica to Nirvana to Rancid to Green Day to the SKA revolution to Rage Against The Machine to freakin' Stone Temple Pilots and Beck.
The 90s were nuts.
I listen to lots of music. My favorite era is the "the" bands from the early 2000s. The Hives, The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Kings of Leon. There was about a billion of them and many of them were really really good. Completely uninfluenced by the 90s, and more to the root of rock and roll.
Still listening to the Beasties in 2021 though. Lol
Madonna's managers wanted Run DMC to open for her, but Def Jam wanted $250k a show for Run DMC. They then asked for the Fat Boys and Def Jam said they weren't available, then offered the Beastie Boys at $500 a show. On top of the cheap per show price, Madonna and the Beastie Boys were friends through the New York music scene.
If you're interested in more in depth story on the Beasties, check out the No Dogs in Space pod cast. They did a 6 part pod cast on the B-Boys that is amazing.
SHINE!
One important factor: THEY COULD RHYME WELL.
Saw them in 98. Amazing concert in the round, stage had a crane that would touch the stage, and the stage would revolve like a record.
Shine! In my opinion the Beastie Boys are awesome and made me listen to more Rap in the 80's early 90's (and beyond) and I still thank them for that
I believe they had alternative music with a little bit of rap music when they went on tour with Madonna definitely had enough music to do a set more importantly they were different than her music so they could not steal the show no matter how good or how bad they did
They have a song called ‘ b boys makin with the freak freak’ and they reference their fallout with Simmons. I got fat bass lines like Russell Simmons steals money. Great song, even better diss.
Shine bright like a diamond; the Beastie Boys surely have.
My first concert was Beastie Boys, RUN DMC, LL COOL J and Whoodini. 1986 Tampa Sun Dome.
What makes the Beastie Boys great is they're versitality of music...
This video smoked my mind......... I have been a massive fan of the Beatie Boys sine the late 80S.
Who would have none that one of the Beastie Boys was behind the Def Jam recordings label....... Mind Blown.
Shine. I know I'm late to the party since this vid is months old now, but I've been a Beastie fan for 25 years and I'm excited to see people showing them love like this. Subscribed.
I was that white girl from way down south 😜that bought that album! All my friends loved them!! At all our parties … in the middle of the old fields… just us and the beastie boys rockin!! Hahaha ❤️tennessee
Girl! I was in the middle of a big C&W jr/high school and loooved the BBoys (amongst other music that was NOT country...I was such an outsider, LOL). I'm so glad I wasn't alone! 🥰
edit: I had an aunt who was a couple years older than me and her sister who was my age, & I spent a lot of weekends at their house. My older aunt would have MTV on when she and her best friend were hanging out, and the two bands that I remember first impacting me from those days were the Beastie Boys and Def Leppard. 🤣 Much to my parent's (later) chagrin, I have to say.
Yeah but Madona was dancing at the first beastie boys gigs
Shine B-Boys are one of my favorite groups of all time and I’m a punk and metal head so that’s saying something. Good video mate. 🤘
Me and a buddy road tripped from Florida to D.C. for the first "Free Tibet" concert. It was amazing!!
Get yo’ *shine* on. My favorite Beastie Boys song: Get It Together. There’s just something about that groove; I especially love Q-tip’s verse. Best video: 3 MC’s and 1 DJ (Mix Master Mike is a GOD among mere mortals on the turn tables). Favorite record: Ill Communication.
That three-record stretch including Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head, and Ill Communication is as good a three-album stretch as anybody has ever done in music history. The variety and creativity that they accomplished in those records is truly second to none.
The other thing that doesn’t get mentioned as much as it should is just how much fun those guys were and how much fun their albums and videos are. Not only did they have the skills to pay the bills and they delivered so much great creativity, but they managed to make the end product a lot of fun too. I absolutely love how they did not take themselves too seriously.
Now... here's a little story that I got to tell, about about 3 bad brothers you know so well....RIP MCA!
I saw this man’s opinion way before this reaction. I’m a Beastie Boy fan and his video opened my eyes to a whole lot of things I didn’t know about them. I agree with everything he said. SHINE
This reaction is fire, man. I'm going to share it far and wide. Thanks for doing this.
💯 percent agree. My favorite rap group of all time. Saw them live in the mid 90s as a teenager. Adam hanging from a chandelier at the Peony Park ballroom catapulting across the stage. High energy musical experience that was unforgettable and unmatched to this day.
Shine Thank you for this video. The Beastie Boys' first album, Licensed to Ill, was blaring all over MCRD San Diego when I was in bootcamp. I've stayed a fan of theirs and still listen to their stuff.
This guy really paid these guys respect: unlike with the omission of the beastie boys, that you often see when rap history is discussed, seems that some don't want to get too specific when its time to give credit where credit is due.
Coming from a 54 year old. "Grampa been listening since 83" Check Your Head, fav album and Too many Rappers not enough MC's by far my fav song.( and Video) Sums up the B Boys up. Still doing the moving shopping cart videos with the Super 8 camera. Awesome!!! Lighten up also a fav, with the switch ups, and the Boys on the instruments. Thanks for doing what you're doing.
Shine. My intro into hip-hop....my love for hip-hop...was BC of them. They introduced me into a new world.
80s hip-hop is so underappreciated with the general public. Thanks to music purists like yourself you are enlightening
the masses as to how it all started.....peace!
The Beatles & Beastie Boys….nuff said!!!❤❤
When I was 8 years old and the Beastie Boys appeared on tv with Fight For Your Right, my dad went fucking APESHIT. “My son’s not watching these monsters in my house, get them off”. I’m 43 now and still a fan. People stealing car badges at the time really wasn’t The Beastie Boys’ fault. Thank you for doing this reaction and giving your thought. Love to you and your channel.
The Beastie Boys were $500 per show as opening act for Madonna. The other option was in fact Run DMC at $20k per show.
Shine. Thanks for the react. 49 yr old from up north, and found out some things that I did not know about the BBoys. Thank you sir.
no, Thank YOU for watching. I hope you have a great day.
Beastie Boys Shine on!
Shine. I got to see the Beasties at Cal Expo in Sacramento, and at the Oakland Coloseum back to back nights in 1995. What was so good was each concert had a totally different Playlist. I then saw them in 1996 at the Tibetan Freedom Concert at Polo Fields in San Francisco....phenomenal craft. Q-tip couldn't remember his lyrics on Get it Together, but they were on time as usual. My favorite group of all time.
Shine- I started listening to BB's when Paul's Boutique was released and appreciate your reaction video. I never realized the far reaching influence they had on the genre of hip hop and rap. Thank you
Pauls Boutique was my favorite for years, but now it ties with Check Your Head and Ill Communication. They are all three so different and great in their own way, that it makes it too hard to pick.
Fortunate to have seen them perform live many times.
Favorite song. Looking down the barrel. favorite album?? All very close
1 Paul’s boutique
2 check your head
3 license to Ill
4 Ill communication
5 hello Nasty
5 to the 5 Burroughs
Shine. Followed these guys all the way but my favs are check your head and ill communication. Innovative, separating from the sounds at the time, using their own instruments and old as I am can’t believe they made it also in rock n roll hall of fame before my moody blues! Haha
There will never ever be anything like the beasties again. PERIOD!
Watched them open for Run DMC in Chicago area, 1987.. best day of my life!
I was a fan of all the Def Jam artists back in 86-88. Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, RUN DMC, LL Cool J... best talent in the world.
So glad you appreciate Paul's Boutique! I felt like I was the only one in the world who liked that album when it dropped.
If you want a real hidden treasure, check out the track "Loc'in on the Shaw" by Ton Loc. The album, like Paul's Boutique, was produced by the Dust Brothers, and this track back in '89 is the first instance I am aware of of what would be called "Trip Hop" a decade later. Play it LOUD on a BIG system and smoke some weed. You will not regret it.
Shine.I'm glad the Beastie Boys get the love & respect from the fans & other artists thesedays. I've been down since Licensed to Ill, bought Paul's Boutique when it came out in '89 and never wavered. Similarly my other favorite band Black Sabbath has finally gotten the love & respect they earned starting 50+ years ago, especially Geezer Butler getting his due not only as the best bass player in rock & metal but as a thought-provoking lyricist for those incredible original 8 albums with Ozzy still in the band. Bill Ward & Geezer Butler were the bomb-ass rhythm section with the intricate beats & always prominent groovy yet heavy AF bass served as a bridge to hip-hop. It sounds strange but Sabbath & the Beasties have a lot of common elements, mainly each member was fire on their own and they wove the groove between them. The way that MCA, Adrock & Mike D switched up their parts and each song is densely packed with just money timing & phrasing. Sabbath did this as well because they were so rhythmic like Tony could hold the rhytyms with a wicked riff while Geezer played almost lead on bass with his runs & fills when a lot of other bass players basically just played the same thing the guitar player was playing. and Geezer would hold it down while Bill did some crazy swinging polyrhytms or played some unexpected jazz stuff.There was just such concentrated talent in both of these groups we are lucky to have had this music to contribute to our lives. I can't even imagine my life without their music. It's such a part of who i am. Wow.
Shine! Big love always to the Beastie Boys 💗 I got License to ill on cassette tape twice because I played the first one so much I destroyed it. Yes cassette tape and boom box, showing my age a little 😁
Favourite song is really hard but album hands down is Paul’s Boutique💕 My boys have gotten me through a lot in this life especially being diagnosed with epilepsy at age 32… they have always been my happy music🎵❤️ MCA was my age when he passed and man did that hit me all over again just like the day he passed in 2012 on my last bday.. He woulda been 57 today.😭RIP MCA💔always & forever have made such a difference in so many lives, I know this band has made a huge difference in my life and for that… I thank them❤️❤️❤️
Hands down my favorite b boys album too. From one old hip hop head to another ❤ much love and positive vibes. Best wishes to you and yours!
*Shine*
Murs is super under acknowledged he's done some good stuff. For anyone who has never checked out The White Mandingos a punk/rap (for lack of better description) band with Murs, Darryl Jennifer of the Bad Brains and others I can't remember. Anyway it's a good band.
Thanks again Travis.
Madonnas team called Russel Simmons to book Run DMC but they were busy so her team asked him for Fat Boys he didnt manage them but said they are also booked. Russel then said Ive got this new group the next big thing called the Beastie Boys they will do it for $500. The rest is history.
I saw the Beasties back in 1987 and Public Enemy was the opening act. That was a wild ass night!
There’s something nobody ever considers about bands ‘success’. It’s always about album sales and. radio plays first and nobody considers ticket sales - which is the most profitable thing to an artist.
Whoever booked them for Madonna without having a well-sold product to sell tickets saw the live show and thought 2 things, “entertaining and marketable”.
Paul’s boutique and hello nasty are my two favorite albums, but there isn’t one that I don’t love or listen to. Recently went through their entire discography chronologically and it completely cheered me up and made me appreciate them even more
Same. Just exactly the same for me.
My feelings exactly. I've done the same thing and have the same favorites
Don’t sleep on their instrumental soundtrack ‘the in sound from way out’. They play all of the instruments and it’s a head-bobber for sure
Shine. Favorite Album: Ill Communication Favorite Song: Intergalactic. Favorite Video: Three MCs and One DJ. Favorite TV Appearance: Sabotage on Letterman 1994.
Great reaction my man, I've never seen this video, and I'm a long time B-boy fan. The only thing I'll add is, whether people agree, disagree or somewhere in between, with Murs, you can't say that he didn't give a fair assessment of their career, no sugar coating, or making excuses, so props to him for that!
Shine.
An excellent piece of Beastie Boys History.❤
I guess we aren’t including The Avalanches in the hiphop genre, because they have 900 legal samples on their album, and an additional 2600 illegal samples.
Thanks to Beasties for using The Avalanches to open their shows in Australia because I went to see Beasties and got two amazing bands.
Back in the day I'd always see some unknown or relatively unknown act get an opening slot, it's not unheard of
Shine bro. I grow up in the subs of Michigan. Beasties boys open so many doors to hip hop. Musically they got better and better. Miss you MCA.
Shine on man. Beastie Boys are always in my car. Spent my first years outta high school working at a grocery store. Was tripping, doing the runaround the whole county late at night, reciting License to Ill word for word. Love the vid man. I even learned a thing or two about em along the way. I gotta check out Murs' videos more Subbed!
In 1986 I was in line to buy the first LP in a small town in the mid west. I was called out and called names by the white community. I was but I still cranked the record player up in volume and let my pathetic neighborhood know the Beasties had arrived in this little town. Now days these kids are into the mumble "rap" crap i still to this day throw on some beasties and bump it. I'm 50 now and still love the beasties. thank you sooo much for reacting to Murs spot.
Ryming and Stealing and Slow and Low.
Amazing reaction. 🤘🏻❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact: Adrock 'discovered' LL Cool J and gave his demo to Rick Rubin. AND Adrock made the beat to LL's first single I Need a Beat.
Rap and hiphop changed the world. Literally!
Shine...on you crazy diamond.
Sick video! I saw them live in '94 in Toronto when they co headlined Lollapalooza for their Ill Communication album...Paul's Boutique...Check Your Head & Ill Communication are bangers!!!!
Shine. Thanks for the presentation.
One of my favorite groups ever, listened since like 90 or so. Favorite song always has been Paul Revere, it was on a hip hop compilation cassette tape they'd have by the registers up front at Big Lots. Favorite album, Paul's Boutique, may be the first cd I ever owned in early 90s but looooove that album.
Fun Fact: Ad-Rock help put LL cool J on, Rick had a lot of peoples mixtapes hanging around his dorm room and he was ignoring some of them like L cool Js mixtape that was until Ad-Rock saw it and play it and told rick to give cool j a chance.
Shine
How I was introduced to the Beastie Boys: The company my step father worked for sponsored a carpool back in 86. He was given a van to do the carpool. One day I was checking out the van and found a cassette under the passenger's seat. It was Licensed to Ill.
I was aware of hip hop but really didn't know it at the time. I was totally into Iron Maiden and the like back then.
I was blown away. Rhymin and Stealing floored me. Honestly it was a moment of transformation for this white suburban kid at the time.
The rest of the record helped me to get hip hop even more. Fight For Your Right soon after was soon in heavy rotation. Can't lie I loved it at the time but it's one of the worst songs in their catalog.
I loved Paul's Boutique when it came out. I was shocked at the reception at the time. For me they were trying to blaze a new trail...turns out they were.
In hindsight that they were willing to alienate their white fan base by leaving Def Jam and re-creating themselves is a risk very few would be willing to take.
What a great decision it was. Licensed to Ill 2.0 would have been terrible.
First off, thank you for letting me know you made it to the end. And also thank you for giving me a glance into your beastie boy history. Im glad that all of you keep asking for more beastie boys because I’ve been learning and getting inspired
just turned 12 years old two months before they dropped licence to ill on new year day 1986 ....loved them to this day ...I swear 99 % of peoples hated them in the 80s so I played them loud and proud as much as I could I pissed off so many people who had no clue..B.E.A.S.T.I.E
Shine! BBoys will always be the best ever!
Glad you found the Beasties ❤️❤️
For Real. Keep spreading the love ❤️
Shine, great review! Thank you.
Hey Shine - picking a favorite is impossible. One of my favorites that never gets any love is Putting Shame in Your Game
Favorite Album: Paul's Boutique Favorite Song: Get It Together. The Beastie Boys Documentary on Apple is a must see. If you have not seen it yet.
Shine. I'm sorry for being so late. Excellent video, and thank you for introducing me to MURS. I don't like the violence but I highly respect his intelligence.
Shine. Liked this video. There was things I didn’t know either. Beastie Boys are one of my favorite groups all time. Especially, growing up in the 80’s & 90’s.
I also agree with about 90 percent of what the commentary said. Thank you for this video. I loved this discussion.
Shine. The Mix-Up is a good album. It's all instrumental, but it has a strong vibe. I often play it in the background when just hanging out at home. I like all but just one of the songs.
Shine... much love for the Beasties
Shine... love the Beastie Boys. I've been there since the beginning. 🤩
You asked my favorite song by the Beasties. It’s impossible to choose one so I’ll just say the one I happen to be listening to at the time. SHINE!
Shine
It's not my first time seeing this, but this time I appreciated hearing and seeing your reaction. Keep it cool.
Shine…..
Real talk. I didn’t think the Beastie’s would last past their first album. You had to see the protests to this group from parents, law enforcement, and the government. That live show was nothing more than them staggering around on stage chugging beers and throwing beer cans. But they grew, and continued to grow throughout their careers, putting out great music.
The same way that I look at Teena Marie as the greatest female R&B singer, The Beastie Boys earned their greatest status also.
Shine. Watch all your vids start to finish. Thank you for your content, I appreciate it.
Shine. I'm 50, grew up with the Beastie boys
The Beastie Boys have a live show movie called “ Awesome I Fucking Shot That”. They gave a couple of fans at the show cameras and edited the footage for the movie. Epic show.
More like 100 fans were given cameras.
