Adrock has a crazy flow on "Nonstop Disco Powerpack" from their final album, and one of their first rap tunes "Beastie Groove" has Adrock rhymin at his fastest
Filmed at G-Son Studios in Los Angeles. This is a warehouse that was converted into a studio, skate ramp, and basketball court by the Beastie Boys, Mario C, and Keyboard Money Mark. Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty were recorded there.
Love that you are reacting to the Beastie's. I was born in 1973...and the timing of their popluarity was right in my wheelhouse....saw they llive 26 times.Nobody will ever top them IMO
This is one of their best tunes. It not only appealed to the hip hop fan (like me), it appealed to the underground alternative/grunge crowd. The versatility these guys possessed was truly amazing. RIP MCA.
Little known fact: That's LL Cool J playing drums. This is a drum track they recorded 5 years earlier. Another fact: Dr Dre has a Producer credit (the Bassline) alongside Ad Rock for this song.
all these reaction videos of Beastie Boys and people always say "shoutout to whoever produced this" ...... yeah it was the Beastie Boys. They produced it.
They are the producers. I agree with you AdRock analysis. I also think AdRock makes more than his share of the beats. MCA has always been the coldest imo but AdRock is right there with him. But it's the chemistry of the 3 that adds up to more than the sum of its parts.
ADRock is great! Everyone has a favorite. Mine is Mike D. He’s was most of the business side of the group. Tons of people think it’s MCA too. They’re all legends.
HE NEVER SWITCHED BECAUSE OF EMINEM. So sick of hearing that regurgitated bs. He was literally touring with rock bands and mostly finished with his first rock album when he dropped that diss. Mgk fans already know this but he was already in his rock pocket before Eminem came at him first.

Love that track.
I think that's their second best album. Long burn the fire MCA absolutely KILLS that beat on that cut.
Pass The Mic is one of the hardest beastie songs imo. I played it pretty much on a loop after I found out Yauch died.
Adrock was always my favourite performer growing up. He definitely brought a lot to the group. MCA always has a place in my heart as an amazing human.

That Glasgow concert is FIRE! Nonstop energy from start to finish.
I was the same. I went from liking MCA best, and now at 51, I like Ad Rock most.

That bass line was also on "A N***a Witta Gun."
You are going to love High Plains Drifter....!
GOATs.
Loved being a teenager when this came out. Great time to be abkid

Banger! Ode to the five boroughs
Great observation about Ad Rock yo

The Bad Brains sample in the chorus is amazing.
great reaction. more > root down, get it together, shadrach, professor booty, b-boy bouillebaise, live in glasgow, live at melkweg, etc.
Adrock is the artist IMO. I love him the best. MCA obviously, sometimes Mike D, but always Adrock.
I love him still til this Day.
Beasties have such sick flow. Check your head is a masterpiece .
Shout out to 90s film production and using a car reflections as special effects. No one ever mentions this...
Pure hip hop brother! ❤️🇦🇺
I see their faces or the word "Beastie" and my brain screams ***KICK IT!!! 4 and 3 and 2 and 1....***
Ya just need to sit down with Licence To Ill. Gen X in 50s still know every word to the album. :)
TY!!!!!!!! for posting. I have never heard this BB cut!
ADRock is great! Everyone has a favorite. Mine is Mike D. He’s was most of the business side of the group. Tons of people think it’s MCA too. They’re all legends.
Beastie Boys are one of the few bands who always put out good videos. Rammstein and Clutch also come to mind.
ZZ Top was fire as well!
😎
Tune
Ad Rock is just.🎉
The producer is them. Every song.
along with their multiple DJs, Dust Brothers, Mario Caldato, and Rick Rubin
Adrock brings more of a punk flavor.
That’s how I’ve always felt. He’s got that sneer that you can hear in his voice even if you can’t see his face
Get it together with qtip
Car thief, Paul’s Boutique
