I swear I'm seeing you comment on all these beastie boys reaction videos and its awesome! I've watched like 20 reaction videos and I LOVE watching people fall in love with these guys! 🤙
@@mackenziewilber I've been a fan since the early 90s and the beasties are one of my top favorite groups. I've even heard some of there early stuff when they were a legit punk band and it was really good. My favorite is watching people react to WATCHA WANT which is one of my top favorites 🤙always nice to meet a fellow beastie boys fan
@@xarlxarlson859 I was born in 78... so the beasties and I go way back... I remember my mom getting pissed because a friend of mine gave me license to ill and my mom thought it was way too raunchy for me... I copied it onto a mixed tape so she didn’t know and I played that thing to death!
@@mackenziewilber haha that's so awesome I was born in 84 so it took a little to discover them but I'm sure glad I did I had my own painting business for 4 years and in the summer that's all I'd play on the radio was beastie boys while working lol I'm sure the neighbors or even the people inside the house didnt enjoy it but oh well lol
The Mr. Spock line is a reference to the original 1960s Star Trek TV series. Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) was known to use a Vulcan nerve pinch (to the neck) to temporarily incapacitate aggressors. The video is a pastiche of old Japanese Kaiju movies, which often featured stunt actors in monster or robot costumes fighting in (and destroying) miniature cities. This song was from their 1998 album Hello Nasty, and I believe the beat was made by Ad Rock and studio engineer Mario C. The "Nnnn-drrrop" was sampled from their own 1986 single "The New Style". A sample also used by The Pharcyde on "Drop", the video for which was directed by Spike Jonze, who also directed a few Beastie Boys videos, but not this one. The Intergalactic video was directed by MCA under the pseudonym Nathanial Hörnblowér.
@@RedTopReactions haha well that’s good! React or no reaction, you gotta watch chuck D and LL cool j induct them into the rock and roll hall of fame. You’ll learn a lot about their history from that. They pretty much gave LL his start in the game. They’re truly a legendary group.
Well? Well? Do you realize if AdRock of the Beasties didn't listen to a 16 year olds cassette, you wouldn't have LL Cool J? Do you realize Public Enemy used to open for them? They're foundational. Sample game is insane, some of the best DJs and bring mad energy to their shows. I knew them when they opened for the Misfits and others at CBs and we would go uptown to the Fever. Everyone doing something rebellious and freedom loving (NYC was sucking then, hard), was in. I was at the Loft, at the birth of house, you would pass groups going from one type of club to another all the time. It was a glorious time.
They came out way before any of those artists you mentioned. Beasties, Run DMC, and LL Cool J all played major roles in bringing hip hop to the main stream. These guys first formed in the late 70s, and were one of the first artists to release a record with Rick Rubin on Def Jam label.
"From the family tree of old school Hip Hop." They shout out Kool Mo D on here. He gave the Beasties be an A for sticking to themes, back when Kool Mo D used to issue report cards to other rappers.
You seriously need to listen to their discography in order, their voices and personality and skill all improve album to album. The production on their albums are incredible. Paul's Boutique, their 2nd album is a timeless masterpiece. Check out Shake Your Rump, Hey Ladies, Shadrach, Car Thief, High Plains Drifter.... You won't be disappointed if you're into seeing how experimental hip hop can go.
Yep. Paul’s boutique is straight fire. The problem with the beastie boys for ppl that don’t know their catalogue well is that some of their most commercially popular tracks are more rap-rock, which straight hip hop heads don’t enjoy so much. Whereas the beastie boys aficionado knows they can do everything from straight funk to straight punk and can recommend the right tracks for the right people.
"Like a pinch on your neck from Mr. Spock" The bar is a reference to Star Trek. Specifically, the character of Spock, who was an alien from the planet Vulcan. Vulcans are pacifists and have mastered various martial arts for defense. In several episodes, Spock is seen pinching the neck of someone, which renders them unconscious.
I would recommend doing SURE SHOT, then WATCHA WANT, then ROOT DOWN. Those beats? That bass?? BEASTIE BOYS actually played the music themselves! They have an extensive catalogue of hits for 3 decades since the 80s. If there is a Mount Rushmore of rap Beastie Boys are definitely on it. You have no idea just how amazing they were, the more you look into them the more you will be amazed. Run DMC opened for them and they discovered LL Cool J... Think about that!

And, love the amount of comments, although there are many 'casual' fans that seem to steer the reactors to a handful of B-Boys radio hits, that don't showcase their work ...

This☝️☝️☝️☝️ Please don't listen to the casual fans. Real fans know what's up. I totally agree with Kevin. If they haven't heard the entire catalog and haven't read the book... CASUAL FAN 😆😆
I LOVE when I get to experience the video definition of ‘ain’t ready’ It bring me JOY.. I remember when this song dropped.. My, at the time, 2yo nephew was me EVERYTHING.. we would JAM to this song.. ‘Put on the wobot song!’ That baby gets married next month.. if this song plays at the reception, imma lose my shit 😭
What up He?! Seen a min, don't give up on BB u til you hear Whatchu Want and/or Get it Together ft. Qtip. Saw BB play right before Rage came out and shut it down at a festival back in 2000. BB one of first acts to be signed to Def Jam in the 80s.
3 MCs and 1 DJ!!! Pass The Mic, Sure Shot, Too Many Rappers (featuring Nas), Righ Right Now Now , Root Down and Putting Shame In Your Game. ALL FIRE! 🔥🙌 Oh and in case you didn't notice, their official music videos have close captions with the lyrics 😉
So Nichelle Nicolls was the first black actress in a leading role on TV, and the first onscreen racial kiss, in a show called Star Trek, which featured a Vulcan called Mr Spock who had a neck grab that would nullify anyone he met. :)
If you're looking for more true hip hop gun the Beasties... check out Ch-Check It Out 3 MCs and 1 DJ Sure Shot Get It Together ft. Q-Tip And then dive into their stuff from their first album... Licensed to Ill... true, old school rap... with the signature Beastie Boys flare. Beasties have some of the greatest samples in hip hop history.
Their video pertains to the lyrics “ intergalactic “ ( they’re out of this world/ dimension), basically they’re from another dimension/out of this world. The video shows that they came to say the “world” with their rhymes and with third uniqueness. At the same time change the world & defeated the enemies with their advanced creativity vidz, lyrics and advanced rhymes, PLUS I LOVE HOW THEY CAN KEEP THE RYMES CLEAN yet KILLER! mmm mm mmm ❤️🔥✨🚀🫶 brings back memories 🔥💥👽🤖
I knew the Boys had reached legendary status when they sampled that 'mmmmmmDROP!' from The New Style. They were recontextualizing their own early work. I was just graduating high school, about to turn 18, and the Beastie Boys had been rapping since I was 3. And they never put out anything soft.
I love BB. Especially the Era when they transitioned from punk to hip hop and back and back again. Heart attack man is one of my favorite tracks. No idea why really 😁
My favourite track is the 3rd base diss Professor Booty. MC Serch had no answer to MCA diss. Like MCA said “You should have never started something that you couldn't finish 'Cause writin' rhymes to me is like Popeye to spinach I'm bad ass, move ya' fat ass, 'cause you're wack, son Dancing around like you think you're Janet Jackson Thought you could walk on me to get some ground to walk on I'll put the rug out under your ass as I talk on”
The W.O.P. is a 80s dance move There were doing on video...not the W.A.P........and spock from star trek would render people unconscious by the touch of his finger
The mmm...drop line is sampled from "Hold It Now, Hit It" their first album. As I'm sure you know, that sample has been used by countless artists. So they sampled themselves.
You where meant to find their goldmine of classic bars. I need to mention jimmy pop from bloodhound gang drops some of the craziest bars you’ll ever hear, two types of crazy. Check out “boom” by bloodhound with rob van winkle aka vanilla ice, “you’re pretty when I’m drunk”, “fire water burn”. Fort Knox. Golden Bars.
“Like a pinch on your neck from Mr. Spock.”

Imagine just how blown away people were when this first came out, destroyed parties.
Facts.
All my Friends were at my pad for the premier on Mtv
Some of my favorites are: Paul Revere, Hold It Now Hit It, Sure Shot, 3 MC’s and 1 DJ, Right Right Now Now, Root Down and so many more!
they've sold 20 million albums! 3 MC's and 1 DJ, Root Down, and Get It Together.

They were also the main reason dr jam signed LL.
So good he started making the stank face. Lol. This song is legendary.
Hey Ladies, Shake your Rump, 3 MCs and one DJ, Hold it now Hit it, The New Style, Make some Noise..... The list is endless, enjoy the ride

Fun fact, That "Mmmm Drop!" part where they let the beat drop is also a throw back to one of their older songs "The New Style".
Just started this video and I cannot WAIT to see your mind change. You are going to LOVEEEEE this songggg

9:56 "Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock". Star Trek reference. The Vulcan neck pinch knocks you out.
every reaction to this beat is the same and i love it. confused look, to stink face to head bobbing the rest of the song
You really have to consider the era that this is from as well. They revolutionized a lot of sheit
Nothing is better than for those of us that have loved this for 40 yrs to watch someone experience this for the 1st time
You need to react to Root Down that shows their MC skills also 3 MC and one DJ.
Mad Skills on the tables for sure!

Like a pinch on ya neck from Mr Spok. Star Trek reference. Live the channel guy!
Crazy video? This is the Beastie Boys. They are gods in the rap world.
Now you need to listen to their first album " license to ill" late 80's.
Beastie boys made rap mainstream. They have so many great songs all talented musicians and mix master mike is a true DJ.
Intergalactic planetary, planetary intergalactic. Another dimension, another dimension... repeat. That’s the robotic voice.
Like a pinch on your neck from Mr. Spock. The Vulcan in Star Trek. His special move the Vulcan nerve pinch, he could knock people out with it.
Many people forget that this group was founded as a punk band.
Later they came up with the idea of doing hip hop.
"Like a pinch on the neck from Mr Spock". Star Trek reference.
Retire… Son…They are part of the Essence….
“3 MC’s and 1 DJ” and “Root Down”!
"put you to sleep like a pinch from Mr.Spock" He was a Vulcan on Star Trek that could paralyze people with a Vulcan death pinch
This man isnlosing his shit before the verse even drops, oh man this gonna be good
Mr. Spok from Star Trek, was from another planet. With one pinch to the neck, people would fall to the floor.

Mr Spock is part of the Star Trek universe. He can pinch the neck of human beings to put them to sleep.

Saw your intro and went outside to have a smoke 100% sure you would love it!
this was by far the best one, until the one i drop later this week
The WoP is a dance from the 50s my guy 😁
Mr. Spock pinched people on the neck to paralyze them in OG Star Trek. Have a good one, Geelong Australia.
"GIRLS" IS MY FAVORITE BEASTIE BOYS SONG
Nice,I didn't notice the way connection,also another song has"boy in da corner " maybe dizzy rascal was inspired too?
I appreciate your honesty. If you dont like something, it might not be your cup of tea.
Exactly!
It’s the Vulcan death grip 🤏
3 MC's and 1 DJ will make you a fan for sure.
They tried to get a permit to shoot the video and were denied so they filmed it on the streets with everyone around.
3 MC's and 1 DJ is pure Hip Hop.
"She's Crafty" another great one
This is the hardest science Horovitz ever dropped. The sub bass in the break almost brought the arena roof down back in '98.

Heart attack man is one of my favorite tracks. No idea why really 😁
My favourite track is the 3rd base diss Professor Booty. MC Serch had no answer to MCA diss. Like MCA said
“You should have never started something that you couldn't finish
'Cause writin' rhymes to me is like Popeye to spinach
I'm bad ass, move ya' fat ass, 'cause you're wack, son
Dancing around like you think you're Janet Jackson
Thought you could walk on me to get some ground to walk on
I'll put the rug out under your ass as I talk on”
The W.O.P. is a 80s dance move There were doing on video...not the W.A.P........and spock from star trek would render people unconscious by the touch of his finger
The mmm...drop line is sampled from "Hold It Now, Hit It" their first album. As I'm sure you know, that sample has been used by countless artists. So they sampled themselves.
This album became the best selling at some point and I had the cassette that time.
You where meant to find their goldmine of classic bars. I need to mention jimmy pop from bloodhound gang drops some of the craziest bars you’ll ever hear, two types of crazy. Check out “boom” by bloodhound with rob van winkle aka vanilla ice, “you’re pretty when I’m drunk”, “fire water burn”. Fort Knox. Golden Bars.
