The Song is called Rootdown cause the sampling is from a song called The Rootdown by Jimmy Smith. The boys said they were playing basketball when the song came on and they was like, how can you NOT sample this. lol Check Beasties Song, The Eggman. One of my fave. It's just fun.
The Beastie Boys broke up with the death of MCA in 2012. Their last album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 was released in 2011 while MCA was sick with cancer. They recently released an excellent book (The Beastie Boys Book) which I think even hip hop fans who aren't hardcore BB fans can enjoy, because they talk a lot about the punk and hip hop scene of the late 70s and early 80s New York. The audio book is excellent with lots of guest readers. They also recorded a live "reading"/discussion of their book called The Beastie Boys Story which is available on Apple TV Plus.
The audio book is great. I thought the last album was great too. They really put 100 percent into everything the did. They put out a lot of quality material.
Pure hip-hop when it was about fun and cutting lose...also most of us who were around during the inception of hip-hop think todays "hip-hop" is full of a bunch of posers who are so propped up with auto-tune and the industry crafting to the masses that the art is non-existent.
I'm 50 so I was about 15 when their first album dropped. I grew up listening to mostly metal but also heard old school rap and Beastie boys are one of the greats
I was DJ'ing in the late 80's into the mid 90's. The Beastie Boys were so dope and did things differently. And they set the table for a lot of hip-hop groups of the day. So Dope!!!
The album ‘Paul’s Boutique’ would cost a fortune to make today, because of the volume of samples that would have to clear. It’s a master class in overlaying samples. Made in 1989.
Thx for playing this !saw them in the late 80s several times they definitely were influential to hip hop being they started in 81 ..Shake your rump, Hey ladies, 3 mcs &1DJ , intergalactic
I like your beats and your reaction vibe. For this song, it’s important to note that the B-3 organ sample throughout the song is actually from Jimmy Smith (famous 60s jazz organist) and his song…”Root Down” 😉
Can't go wrong with, "shake yo rump" "Get it together w/q-tip" & " 3mc's and 1 dj" then you might consider getting down on their Paul's Boutique album. It's the alternative hip-hip that was mind bending then and now. Songs like "High Plains Drifter" or the classic, "Egg Man" 😂 you haven't heard anything like it. Thanks for the reaction!!
This track (to me) was about the Beastie Boys roots in hip hop. It's a play on the word 'route' hence the use of subway maps and subway imagery. The lyrics reference hip hop in New York in the early days and the 4 elements of MCs, DJ's, break dancers and graffiti artists. You cant have hip hop without these 4 elements. (it's like KRS One said, "you are not doing hip hop, you are being hip hop") ... Really enjoyed this reaction man. Rock on 🤙
As a lover of all things music when this came across my radar in 85 when I was 18 it was like what is this? I love it. I heard The Roof is on Fire the same night on a mix tape playing at a party in Wildwood NJ. Good times for sure. 🙌
If the mixing sounds rough, it's because it's purposely built on actual vinyl samples - in this case, Jimmy Smith's Root Down (And Get It). It was meant to sound gritty and funky. That was the vibe back then - whoever could cop the best record sample ain't done yet was king!
They lived and breathed the 4 Elements of hip hop. They brought the frenetic pace of punk rock into their rhyme style as well as having great production on their records.
I am an old Bay Area metalhead who could always handle Too Short (bought albums from him for 50 cents at MB center in Oakland back in the day) Beastie Boys got me more into hip hop and learned to love P.E., arguably one of the most important "punk" bands to this day!
One thing I find interesting from reactors to their videos, is that they think a lot of the vids are older than they are. When the Beasties came out, they were old school (86 first record, not counting their 83 single), but they kept rapping old school into the 90s (when they had their come back). They just kept tinkering with the music. It was a really interesting mix of old and new.
You ain't lying life has changed. I'm 50 now,born is 70. I grew up through the start of hip hop. I generally listen to nothing but old skool,just can't get into what you kids call Rap now. The Beasties are true hip hop. One of the most important Bands(not just hip hop)ever. Check out Paul's Boutique,the entire album is a Masterpiece. That record couldn't be made today, it would absolutely cost way to much to pay for all the samples. 10 to 20 per song. The album is nuts,its a must listen. I will however check out what you're putting down. I'll listen to new tracks when they come out,unfortunately I usually don't get through them because they're nonsense to me. Good luck brutha and god bless.
First things first! Thank you! I appreciate the insights and I also appreciate you checking out my music as well. I would recommend my song “let it ride” it’s not as explicit as most of my other songs. Anyways I will make sure to put the song you requested on the list. Hope you have a good day
In the song they rap about listening to battle tapes and taking the train and doing their homework...the one they reference is Busy Bee versus Kool Moe Dee from 1981 Harlem world battles on the Zulu Beat network ..you should really check it out to hear the true birth of hip hop
Best reaction to the B Boys on the internet by FAR!!!! And im a HUGE B boy fan for 35 years at least....I also love watching people become hooked by their music with no reason to hate...You? you definetly get them but there is so much more crazy hidden details in the music and videos you will catch if your REALLY tuned in
Love this reaction, appreciate you! Gotta say regarding your note on the mix tho--I think it's pretty safe to say that the was 100% intentional, not about technology. All that fuzz and crackling throughout, that was part of the sound for us folks who listened to music on actual records. This mix was honoring that, imho. For context, maybe listen to some other tracks from the same album: "Sure Shot," "Get It Together," "Flute Loop," or one of their biggest commercial successes (tho i think not one of their best songs), "Sabotage".
These guys found innovative ways to create sound with not even a 10th of the equipment and tools there are out today. Paul's Boutique changed the way hip hop created sound. The music you hear today would not have existed without Pioneers like the Beasties, Run DMC, Def Jam, Rick Rubin, PE, Grandmaster Flash, Biz Markie, Busy Bee, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick...I could go on and on. Its an evolution, i was lucky to grow up seeing in real time because i was born in '73.
This video got me to subscribe. Your reactions are inspired and thoughtful. It’s obvious you understand production and it’s refreshing to see true insight into the Beastie Boys. I recommend Pass the Mic, 3 MCs and 1 DJ, and Sure Shot by the Beastie Boys. I don’t think they block anything on their official channel.
Brother I was in 8th grade when the beastie boys came out. Showing my age, yes I am. Your right, to be alive during this time was amazing. Different time and area, it was a dope time to be young!!!! Much respect to you for bringing back an awesome time in music!!!!!
Thanks for the reaction, Shaka. You coo. Makes me so happy to see younger people learn more about where it all came from, you know? And just simply to listen to dope shit. Hip Hop gave me my soul, and I was exactly the right age at the time (teenager) when the scene was born. Used to listen to a Buffalo radio station play Grand Master and the Sugar Hill Gang 'cause that's the only place that was rollin' with that at the time. #Toronto
All the nostalgia, the breakdancing clips and NYC scenes, they were paying homage to their roots growing up in NYC. I love the Beastie Boys, been listening to them since the 80's. They were so influential and really helped open the door for alot of young rappers. LL Cool J is one of them, they discovered him and helped launch his career. You should check out their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. They were inducted back in 2012 by LL Cool J and Chuck D. Ad Rock and Mike D were there to accept and give speeches. MCA couldn't be there because he had cancer and was really sick at the time. He died a few weeks later. I mostly stopped listening to rap and hiphop after like 2010. There are some newer songs I like and listen to but for the most part it doesn't do anything to move me. The autotune, the mumble rap, the computer generated music, its all just so generic and boring. There's no soul in it.
it was awesome being there with the beasties when rap started. They were there in Brooklyn and Manhattan when the first rap artists were just starting in the seventies. The beasties started then and by the mid eighties were touring with Run DMC and gave LL Cool J his start. They are not the first, but they were there at almost the beginning when rap was just starting to be recorded. They helped Rick Rubin start Def Jam Record with Russel Simmons to get hip hop started. Most rap listeners today know little of the history of their music.
we would have this album playing at the spot while all guys were learning tre flips and cat calling all the girls in the neighborhood. those were the days...
Shake your Rump. Id like to see you on the floor Shaka. Cheers Bro from deeeeep in the Catskill Mts NY. Still got the original Pauls Boutique album I got in the city when I was 19. Im 50 now and still listen to this album weekly. 😈
If you are doing old school, you should be doing Public Enemy too, unless you are already familiar with their songs. Can't Truss It, Night of The Living Baseheads, 911 is a Joke, Fight The Power. ..... and so on
Also,as far as The Beastie Boys go,, Stand Together, Jimmy James, Sure Shot and I think you'll dig anything off To The 5 Boroughs, as it is a mixture of more modern sounds and old school hip hop.
Hey Ladies !!!!!!!!! =) =) for some reason that video makes me smile , laugh at all the silliness on the screen, music of course being Beastie is on point. Lyrics is alright.

You’re saying everybody knows who the Beasties are, but damn there’s a lot of reactors here who clearly have no idea who they were and how legendary they were.
"It's simple". Good analysis. Shoot, now I have to subscribe if you are going there. The Beasties are so unpretentious and true to themselves. Once in awhile you will even hear some Yiddish.

The mixing and mastering on that is intended to sound a little bit distorted and old. This is typical beastie boys. They try to bring across the nostalgia through their videos AND music. Crystal clean production wouldnt fit the beastie boys ;)
Rap/Hip-hop now can't hold a candle to The O'Gs. It's all angry and stupid and disrespectful to the world now. Beastie Boys, Fat Boys, Run DMC, Public Enemy He'll, even Houdini made more sense than this shit today! And the list goes on and on!
![FIRST TIME HEARING Beastie Boys - Root Down (Official Music Video) | [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OyxNx5zm51I/mqdefault.jpg)
The Song is called Rootdown cause the sampling is from a song called The Rootdown by Jimmy Smith.
The boys said they were playing basketball when the song came on and they was like, how can you NOT sample this. lol
Check Beasties Song, The Eggman.
One of my fave.
It's just fun.

The audio book is great. I thought the last album was great too. They really put 100 percent into everything the did. They put out a lot of quality material.
You can never go wrong with Beastie Boys
Pure hip-hop when it was about fun and cutting lose...also most of us who were around during the inception of hip-hop think todays "hip-hop" is full of a bunch of posers who are so propped up with auto-tune and the industry crafting to the masses that the art is non-existent.
I can definitely agree to a lot of that. 💯
There's always an intelligent hip hop underground that isn't about materialism, though.
No samples, they were the sample!
I'm 50 so I was about 15 when their first album dropped. I grew up listening to mostly metal but also heard old school rap and Beastie boys are one of the greats
Men of a certain age. We had the best of all the newest stuff.
All this, best metal, and 3 dog night to boot
I was DJ'ing in the late 80's into the mid 90's. The Beastie Boys were so dope and did things differently. And they set the table for a lot of hip-hop groups of the day. So Dope!!!
I was lucky enough to see the beasties in 1987!!I'm 50 now.Love the beasties!!!!Love your channel!!!!!
Punk rock dudes that found that next level of punk rock expression
They are paying respect to all the others that came before them. All the vids you are watching are well before them. Hence the Roots down. Respect.
They are from that era kid
The album ‘Paul’s Boutique’ would cost a fortune to make today, because of the volume of samples that would have to clear. It’s a master class in overlaying samples. Made in 1989.
If iwas stranded on a desert island, pauls boutique would be an album id want on hand.excellent call
Paul's Boutique is a great album
one of my faves if not my fave yuuup. Was there in the 80s when it came out. Sweeeeet Days. Cheers Frase.
Albums cost nothing these days. Just need a laptop
Thx for playing this !saw them in the late 80s several times they definitely were influential to hip hop being they started in 81 ..Shake your rump, Hey ladies, 3 mcs &1DJ , intergalactic

Thier music is timeless because it's so pure.

Egg Man for real
Get it Together.. fire
Shake Rump. Best Track. Ever. Actually every song on that album, but lets stick to my former statement.

they are kicking it old school
That’s for sure
Beastie Boys - The Move
I’ll put it on the list.
An absolute tag-teaming work of brilliance
Going out, going to the mall and battling other break crews and no one getting shot. What a time it was to be alive.
PS, they played a lot of different instruments. They even did an album you wouldn't know was them. 'The In Sound from Way Out'.
If the mixing sounds rough, it's because it's purposely built on actual vinyl samples - in this case, Jimmy Smith's Root Down (And Get It). It was meant to sound gritty and funky. That was the vibe back then - whoever could cop the best record sample ain't done yet was king!
They lived and breathed the 4 Elements of hip hop.
They brought the frenetic pace of punk rock into their rhyme style as well as having great production on their records.
Them referencing Kool Moe Dee vs Busy Bee battle shows they were down from the jump.
Man whenever I have friends over? Beastie Boys Hits are all over the playlist believe that 😂💯
Shadrach this is there most creative video they even drop knowledge on the book of Daniel. The song is banging!
You said it. I feel blessed to influenced by the music back then and not today.
Root Down is one of my all time favorites, the Beasties got me back into hip hop inthe late 90's, you Gotta Check out Shadrach off of Pauls Boutique.
I am an old Bay Area metalhead who could always handle Too Short (bought albums from him for 50 cents at MB center in Oakland back in the day) Beastie Boys got me more into hip hop and learned to love P.E., arguably one of the most important "punk" bands to this day!
Yeah, Brother! Whatever you do in life, live it ROOT DOWN!! Great video, Peace -
Thank you! 🙏

I was washing my dads car listening to this on loop and he said is this Tone Loc... 90’s best decade
Dude. Your Pop should know better. That's like hearing AC/DC and saying it was Megadeath. There's hope though. Buy him _Hello Nasty_
BBoys are the kings of hiphop.

I'm happy you mentioned MCA's last verse. Pop culture makes it look like it's week, but that's the hardest lyrics of the early 90's.

Sure Shot
BBoys even PLAYED all the instruments. Try that at home Hip Hop Creators..... BBoys are GOATS. Smoother than a Hot Dog wit no mustard.
Good point, BBs were forefront of old school style, adidas, new balance, allesse. You had LL CJ with his kangol hat...no surprise LL inducted them

Real artist real music
This song is more about paying respect the "roots" of hip hop

REAL Hip Hop !!!!!
They perfected it early on in the rap game, and carried on, this is why I still listen!!
Music today is an industry controlled by people with money and power.
Go down the rabbit hole. You won’t be disappointed. Professor Booty is track that MCA snaps on.
Yea it’s on the list. I will get to it soon enough
Thanks for the reaction, Shaka. You coo. Makes me so happy to see younger people learn more about where it all came from, you know? And just simply to listen to dope shit.

The deeper you get into album cuts, the better they sound. Check out their instrumentals like Suco de Tangerina.

Listen to COOKIE PUSS, it was out before fight to party and Paul Revere. They were rapping for years at that point.
Just so good at what they do it's untrue.
It was the best of times.
BEASTIE BOYS - RIGHT RIGHT NOW NOW IN THE HIP HOP HONORS!
we would have this album playing at the spot while all guys were learning tre flips and cat calling all the girls in the neighborhood. those were the days...
Wow first time seeing this. B boys from the 70 80s wow pioneers
If you don't like Beastie Boys, we can't be friends. I don't hang around fools.
_word_
The new censorship in these old songs kills me.
Sometimes I feel as thiough I've been blessed
I don’t know for sure, but I think the way it was remastered was an artistic choice. It has a vinyl aesthetic, which fits with the theme
Shake your Rump. Id like to see you on the floor Shaka. Cheers Bro from deeeeep in the Catskill Mts NY. Still got the original Pauls Boutique album I got in the city when I was 19. Im 50 now and still listen to this album weekly. 😈
I grew up in that time!!!!!
So so good 😉
More Beasties please!
I got you.
Dopest song ever! Only they could do it too. Much respect for the reactions.
If you are doing old school, you should be doing Public Enemy too, unless you are already familiar with their songs. Can't Truss It, Night of The Living Baseheads, 911 is a Joke, Fight The Power. ..... and so on
Also,as far as The Beastie Boys go,, Stand Together, Jimmy James, Sure Shot and I think you'll dig anything off To The 5 Boroughs, as it is a mixture of more modern sounds and old school hip hop.
Hey Ladies !!!!!!!!! =) =) for some reason that video makes me smile , laugh at all the silliness on the screen, music of course being Beastie is on point. Lyrics is alright.
Good reaction. Thanks
If it's been a minute...listen to So Whatcha' Want.
SO GOOD!!!!!
chain this song with next on the album & you'll get crazy! sabotage !
Gold!!!!!
Love the Beastie Boys. RIP MCA.
Sounds of Science, the song that got them sued by the Beatles! RIP MCA!
Thanks for playing my song request new sub 😁
No worries, I try not to sleep on y’all.
With your music interest you should react to Graditude. So good
Is that by the beastie boys?
@@shakashinereacts
Yes.
@@shakashinereacts I'm floored. The video is a shout out to Pink Floyd actually
Good times gone and you missed them
What's gone wrong in your system?
Things they bounce, like a Spalding
What'd you think? Did you miss your calling?
It's so free, this kind of feeling
It's like life, it's so appealing
When you've got so much to say
It's called gratitude, and that's right
Good times gone, but you feed it
Hate's grown strong, you feel you need it
Just one thing, do you know you
What you think? That the world owes you?
What's gonna’ set you free
Look inside and you'll see
When you've got so much to say
It's called gratitude, and that's right
Any Paul's Boutique song
You’re saying everybody knows who the Beasties are, but damn there’s a lot of reactors here who clearly have no idea who they were and how legendary they were.
"It's simple". Good analysis. Shoot, now I have to subscribe if you are going there. The Beasties are so unpretentious and true to themselves. Once in awhile you will even hear some Yiddish. When hip hop began it was about good vibes and real issues. That's what makes the comedy sketches about "nice rap" so funny, it really was nicer.
How is it weak? Its awesome 🤘
Kool Moe Dee vs. Busy Bee...check it out
They put their root down and their tree just keeps growing.. seed in the soil planted and it's not gonna keep keep growing .
10 times better than the bullshit that comes out now.
You should watch the triple trouble vid...it’s funny af....
The mixing and mastering on that is intended to sound a little bit distorted and old. This is typical beastie boys. They try to bring across the nostalgia through their videos AND music.
Crystal clean production wouldnt fit the beastie boys ;)
Rap/Hip-hop now can't hold a candle to The O'Gs. It's all angry and stupid and disrespectful to the world now.
Beastie Boys, Fat Boys, Run DMC, Public Enemy
He'll, even Houdini made more sense than this shit today! And the list goes on and on!
I don't think you can not like The Beastie Boys
These tunes are so far ahead of todays crap!
Everyone says eminem is the best but the beastie boys were the very first period.
Auto tune for this guy. Thats his winner. Smh...
Anyone who would call this or any Beastie Boys track, wack. Aren't worth listening to.
I bet this video gets a lot of views... :)
Pausing way too much for my taste.
You have no idea what you are talking about. That song is from the 90s.
Thanks for the insight.
