Love it. When I saw the Beastie Boys in ‘98, their DJ spun up this hook, the guys put their microphones down, and 10,000+ people in the crowd performed for them. One of the coolest things Ive ever seen
this part right here. Beasties was my first concert ever. On this tour, in Las Vegas. I'm 51 now and still bump this at least weekly. Oh, and I love watching people truly experiencing them for the first time!
@@GasStationSushiSkatesat48 Ya baby five one!......and still bumpin. Kinda hard to believe we were kids, skatin and listening to these guys. Damn.....feels like just yesterday and a thousand years ago all at the same time.
I still bump the og vinyl I bought when it came out... an album you play side a all the way thru, then get ur ass up, gently move the needle, flip that wax over, run your lint picker around, blow off the needle and gently lower it down on side B to play all the way through..
Eazy E said in an interview that when they heard Licensed to Ill they thought of it as the first gangsta rap album, and the early NWA songs were their attempt emulate Beasties.
1:13 lol I thought the same thing!!! I'm a 48 yr old white lady and I still get Eazy E stuck in my head:) "a car pulls up who can it be, a fresh el camino rollin' kilo G, he rolled down his window and he started to say..." C'mon now;)
It was the best! We are the bridge between the analog and digital world. We existed before but embraced it when it came into being. The last folks who grew up outside. Long as that ass was inside when the street lights came on for dinner!
Three white Jewish boys set it strait and made a huge impact on hip hop. The hip hop culture in it's purest form knows no color, race or religion. It is about beats, samples and a story.
No fluff, no cheap hooks, no mumming or humming, straight bars clear as day that even a 5 year old can comprehend the words. This masterpiece was such a jam when it came out and only we that were there will appreciate this gem
If he's 25, you have to remember that he grew up with a bunch of garbage, mumble crap. It's a little better now, but many of those garbage rappers disrespected the early Hip Hop artists. Many of these youngsters are barely discovering the origins.
Beastie Boys were way ahead of their time. I love your reaction to this. It was absolute FIRE and does stand the test of time. I'm 52 now. Thanks for the reminder.
I was an 8th grader in Middle School when this song came out. Im 51 now and still listen to it till this day. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This song was real Hip Hop
Stick with this album “License to Ill”1986 for a while before moving on so that you can really appreciate the GENIUS of their 2nd album “Paul’s Boutique “ 1989.
@@mostlyevilmisha It sure is mine! But low key favorite song is "Gratitude", also another fire album is their all instrumental drop called "In Sound From Way Out".
You couldn't make that album now days, the licencing would be too expensive. They use so many cuts from so many places, but it was before they made laws saying you had to pay.
Easy-E was a big fan of the Beastie Boys sound, he used samples of them on several albums. And the Beastie Boys loved when people transformed their ideas into totally new sounds. And as much as there was an East Coast / West Coast feud in public, especially with NWA, a lot of that was just the persona they played and they really respected and fed off each other. This song was written in the early days of Def Jam. Rick sent Adam Yauch to meet Run-DMC at the recording studio and was sitting outside waiting working on a song (at the time Rick Ruban was still in his dorm room operation and so the Beastie Boys did a lot of the side work in Def Jam). Russel Simmons ran down the street later and started babbling about a story of why they were late.. and Adam hit on the opening "Here's a little story I got to tell..." and Simmons told him that what he was working on was fire, and he had to record it. In later sessions Adam was playing with an 808 and he flipped and ran it backwards through tape and that's when the Run-DMC guys stopped him and told him he had to use that beat. RIP MCA
The whole album is fire. Brass monkey is one of my absolute favorites. Also talking about ahead of their time No Sleep Till Brooklyn the guitar riffs were done by Kerry King from Slayer.
No kidding.... I had this CD in a discman with the cassette player attachment plugged into my Dads John Deere combine while making grain in 1986. My Grandfather, God rest his soul, crawled up the ladder to tell me something while this song was playing. At 72 years old, he told me to shut up so he can listen to the end. I remember how he laughed about the two girlies and a beer thats cold line. I also remember him asking to hear the rest of the album, and afterwards, his catchphrase was always "Sometimes ya just gotta fight for the right to party, i guess." Loved that man.
I was bumping this as my gym music two years ago in Iraq 🇮🇶. This song is always going to be a banger. I’m 48 years old and proud to grow up listening to this era of Hip Hop.
RIP MCA, Huge fan, you should listen to their Paul's Boutique album, every one of their albums are different and all excellent. They created their own style of hip hop using samples of music, talented AF
Oh hell yah - the 808 is ICONIC for the 80s and any kind of lo-fi, dirty, funky, sound you want to make. It's one of my go to patches on pretty much any DAW :)
“Polly Wog Stew” was actually their first album in 1982. “Cooky Puss” (1983 single) was their first release after switching to hip hop. “Rock Hard” was released in 1984 after signing with Def Jam, which is around the time Kate left the group. Now, we come to “License to Ill” in 1986. The rest is pure hip hop history!!! Cheers!!!

I am still listening to the Beastie Boys many decades later I am 54 years old. Still jamming or bumping or whatever it is this younger generation calls it.
Only 14 in 1986 but bought my 1st, top of the line system in 1990 for this album, in my old 67 Mustang. $5000 later it has all Alpine and Hifonics gear. Still bumping and working today...you really got what you paid for then.
2:38 I do still bump this in my car. Beasties aren't gonna go anywhere. they are the OGs that get respect from all sides. watch 3 MCs and 1 DJ. back in the day they blew it up with Mix Master Mike. Sabotage, Brass Monkey, No Sleep Til Brooklyn... their whole list is still relevant
Look at the plane serial number. It says “eatme” backwards. It’s where Em got the kamakaze cover idea from!! Legendary!! I was 10 when this came out and me and my friend would split verses.
Beastie Boys did come before Eaze-E, however it's not exactly the same beat. This song uses what is known as a "reverse bass note"! Late 1980's! Top notch!
He was speaking of the lyrical flow not the beat. Easy E and Sir Mix a Lot both have some rhyme styles with similarities to the Beastie Boys. All Legendary artists, IMO.
The 🫨 crazy thing about the track production is that the beat was sampled, reversed and then played on an 808 drum machine 🥁. The kick, snare and cymbals are all reversed. The production just behind the beat was amazing. No computers back then. No FL Studio or Ableton. Just a sampler. Genius in the 80's!
I listened to the Beastie Boys when i was a kid...... Im almost 50, and I still love their songs! They never get old!! Now my kids listen to them... GOTTA LOVE THEM!!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why I love watching reaction videos. I've been listening to rap longer than you've been alive and I never put together than Eazy based his style off them. Love other perspectives! Thanks for teaching me something.
52 years old and these boys were my jam. EZ never wrote any of his own lyrics. A lot of the sample from the 80’s were similar, but this was legit. The plane’s tail has EATME spelled backwards with the 3 as e.
Paul's Boutique is the album you can listen to from start to finish, and every time you do, you hear little things you didn't hear the last time you listened to it. Masterpiece
Paul Revere, Hold It Now, Hit It and She's Crafty were my joints. We listened to the tape daily in 87'. Such great music came out then...hip hop, pop, R&B, Rap, etc. All of it was timeless!!
50+ Born & raised in the BX, NY, Music Lover/DJ here . This was one of the first 12" singles I purchased..(Another banger you reacted to 'The New Style' is the "A" side.) Both were monumental songs that helped widen the influence of Hip Hop!! True Classics!! Also, I want to commend you for digging into the history of music (especially classic Hip Hop) and giving a your opinion/reactions!! Salute!🔥👏🏾✌🏾
One of the greatest hip hop beats of all time. Greatest tracks of all time. Their next album has another incredible storytelling track called "High Plains Drifter", definitely give that a reaction!
Ima metal head living in NYC for 52 years..bboys have been holding down the 5 boroughs for DECADES... y'all need to listen to the beasties first 5 albums for a week straight.. you'll be bouncing 🔥killer flows and beats like no other...paulies boutique is fire.
I can't think of a metal head out there that didn't appreciate the Beastie Boys. They crossed a lot of social lines and broke a lot of cultural barriers. Changed this metal heads life forever!
In third grade I switched to public school from Catholic school and everyone I met was talking about Beastie Boys. I asked my Dad for the album for Christmas and got it. Loved it. Closer to summer break al of the older kids (6th graders) who sat at the back of the bus started rapping the lyrics every day on the bus ride home and I knew all the words. I was sitting at the rear middle of the bus in no time. TY Beastie Boys.
I love nothing more then to see a young person experience the Beastie Boys and appreciate what they did for not just rap, for music in general. The first time I heard them was when they were still punk, then the 12 inch Cookie Puss came out and I was floored. They are truly one of the most original bands ever produced. Thank you for this video @ImBoogie :)
Thank you for sharing. I think I enjoyed you just as much as the Beastie Boys… I was 13 years old, sitting in reform school when this album was released, you talking about Bringing some excitement to children between a rock and a hard place. But I guess we all can remember where we were and what we were doing when this album dropped. This one will always bring back memories. Thank you again for sharing.❤
Beastie boy's and Run DMC was my very first concert at 15. It was cranking from beginning to end everyone in the auditorium was singing every rhyme. Epic memory. Nothing like it since.
The Raising Hell Tour. The first concert i ever went to and couldn't get in.....stupid gang bangers caused a riot and the concert was shut down before anyone performed. Long Beach Convention Center, 1986.
He has no idea of the Hip-Hop magazines with their pictures and all the stories of the hotels they sawed holes in the floors etc. They are also a band.
Who is bobbin their heads to this!!! Yes!!! Had that Fisher House Speaker in the trunk!!! Eventually changed it out for the Cerwin Vegas!!! This was the real deal back in the 80s..! Man..brought a smile!!
This was my first cassette tape in the third grade. Really enjoyed your reaction. It gave me goosebumps. Felt like I was hearing it again for the first time. Subscribed
I remember listening to this in 5th grade when it first came out. Still listening to it and the rest of Beastie Boys today. Need to listen to Paul Revere on a serious system to blow you away.

Shoutin this lyric for lyric wit'out missin' a beat!....The entire album was/still is dope af! But there was always something about Paul Revere! Run DMC & Beastie Boys Together Forever! Never Dies! Timeless... I'm time travelin'!
Music had a richness ,soul, and flow back then when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s , beastie boys was a testament of that time in history … will never be a time again in music like it , was glad to have been a part of witnessing this nostalgic period in history where it was more simple yet so Authentic 🎶

2:38 I do still bump this in my car. Beasties aren't gonna go anywhere. they are the OGs that get respect from all sides. watch 3 MCs and 1 DJ. back in the day they blew it up with Mix Master Mike. Sabotage, Brass Monkey, No Sleep Til Brooklyn... their whole list is still relevant
I literally said the same thing🤣
Yessir!
Look at the plane serial number. It says “eatme” backwards. It’s where Em got the kamakaze cover idea from!! Legendary!! I was 10 when this came out and me and my friend would split verses.
"SIMPLICITY goes a long way", indeed!!! Producers today have so many layers it often takes from the song. Great catch👍🏽
Listening to their catalog is worth it. They started as a punk band but have always had a hip hop influence. Timeless. Classics. Everywhere.
That's real hip hop from the golden era
38 years since this dropped.. still have the LP 😀
Beastie Boys did come before Eaze-E, however it's not exactly the same beat. This song uses what is known as a "reverse bass note"! Late 1980's! Top notch!
They use an 808 thats a reverse snare and hi hat.
He was speaking of the lyrical flow not the beat. Easy E and Sir Mix a Lot both have some rhyme styles with similarities to the Beastie Boys. All Legendary artists, IMO.
To be more specific listen to Jazzy Jay "It's Yours"
Cube wrote most, if not all, of the best NWA songs and has many times said that Beastie Boys were his favorite group and a huge influence when writing
@@ask21900 No question that the Beastie Boys changed the game!!!
The 🫨 crazy thing about the track production is that the beat was sampled, reversed and then played on an 808 drum machine 🥁. The kick, snare and cymbals are all reversed. The production just behind the beat was amazing. No computers back then. No FL Studio or Ableton. Just a sampler. Genius in the 80's!
I spent an entire summer listening with that album solely!
Kids today don’t realize how amazing music was in the 80’s & 90’s!
I listened to the Beastie Boys when i was a kid...... Im almost 50, and I still love their songs! They never get old!! Now my kids listen to them... GOTTA LOVE THEM!!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
65 yr old here and just love your reaction. What a time to be alive!
This is why I love watching reaction videos. I've been listening to rap longer than you've been alive and I never put together than Eazy based his style off them.
Love other perspectives! Thanks for teaching me something.
52 years old and these boys were my jam. EZ never wrote any of his own lyrics. A lot of the sample from the 80’s were similar, but this was legit. The plane’s tail has EATME spelled backwards with the 3 as e.
Paul's Boutique is the album you can listen to from start to finish, and every time you do, you hear little things you didn't hear the last time you listened to it. Masterpiece
This is the first album i bought with my own money in 1987, at 8 years old. Been into hiphop ever since
Oh man, I LOVE hearing that!! Good for you!!!
Same here! I was 12 at the time! Iconic!
@@truckinleprechaunscottcask9747 Same!
Same here! I bought this and Run DMC Raising Hell
10 yrs
The wordplay with their rhymes is untouchable.
Paul Revere, Hold It Now, Hit It and She's Crafty were my joints. We listened to the tape daily in 87'. Such great music came out then...hip hop, pop, R&B, Rap, etc. All of it was timeless!!
50+ Born & raised in the BX, NY, Music Lover/DJ here . This was one of the first 12" singles I purchased..(Another banger you reacted to 'The New Style' is the "A" side.) Both were monumental songs that helped widen the influence of Hip Hop!! True Classics!! Also, I want to commend you for digging into the history of music (especially classic Hip Hop) and giving a your opinion/reactions!! Salute!🔥👏🏾✌🏾
One of the greatest hip hop beats of all time. Greatest tracks of all time. Their next album has another incredible storytelling track called "High Plains Drifter", definitely give that a reaction!
Ima metal head living in NYC for 52 years..bboys have been holding down the 5 boroughs for DECADES... y'all need to listen to the beasties first 5 albums for a week straight.. you'll be bouncing 🔥killer flows and beats like no other...paulies boutique is fire.
Posse in Effect-The New Style
I can't think of a metal head out there that didn't appreciate the Beastie Boys. They crossed a lot of social lines and broke a lot of cultural barriers. Changed this metal heads life forever!
@@ionflow1073same here was a metal head but the BB where on the list
@@kyndred2008 ROCK ON!!!
In third grade I switched to public school from Catholic school and everyone I met was talking about Beastie Boys. I asked my Dad for the album for Christmas and got it. Loved it. Closer to summer break al of the older kids (6th graders) who sat at the back of the bus started rapping the lyrics every day on the bus ride home and I knew all the words. I was sitting at the rear middle of the bus in no time. TY Beastie Boys.
I love nothing more then to see a young person experience the Beastie Boys and appreciate what they did for not just rap, for music in general. The first time I heard them was when they were still punk, then the 12 inch Cookie Puss came out and I was floored. They are truly one of the most original bands ever produced. Thank you for this video @ImBoogie :)
Back in 89 riding in my 76 Nova SS with two 15" subs trashing my eardrums.....I remember it like it was yesterday.
Slick Rick "A Children's Story"
Cinderfella Dana Dane
Yeah, absolute masterpiece
Slick Rick is still the GOAT. I finally found Lodi Da Di on vinyl last year.
*My grandparents bought me this cassette for my 7th birthday when it was released*
Yep I was 8 years old when it released and we listened on cassette constantly. I watched their videos on MTV too!
😂they had no idea
New style, posse in effect
Or maybe the New Style performed on Chappelle's Show. "Beastie Boys & Dave Chappelle - The New Style (Live)"
@@anthonyv6962 yes but hear the original first, then hear the street version with chappelle that is fire.
4 and 3 and 2 and 1....and when I'm on tha mic tha suckaz run...
Thank you for sharing. I think I enjoyed you just as much as the Beastie Boys… I was 13 years old, sitting in reform school when this album was released, you talking about Bringing some excitement to children between a rock and a hard place. But I guess we all can remember where we were and what we were doing when this album dropped. This one will always bring back memories.
Thank you again for sharing.❤
Beastie boy's and Run DMC was my very first concert at 15. It was cranking from beginning to end everyone in the auditorium was singing every rhyme. Epic memory. Nothing like it since.
The Raising Hell Tour. The first concert i ever went to and couldn't get in.....stupid gang bangers caused a riot and the concert was shut down before anyone performed. Long Beach Convention Center, 1986.
Early hip hop was all about the Art of Story Telling. So many MC's with such unique flow. GOLDEN!
Warms my old heart watching the young ones discover the Beasties.
Wait till you run through Paul’s Boutique a few times, that will blow your mind
I was in college in 86 and people were blasting this album all the time.
Everyone in my HS too!
Love your reaction!!! This brings back high school memories, 10th grade.🎧🎤🎛
Good video. 17 in ‘87 rockin beastie boys. My sis and I still listen to them. Great album! 💥💥
Man, I haven’t listened to this for years, what a great album & band.
This is the best video I have seen for a long time. You got me excited to listen to that album like an excited kid again!
You’re not cognizing how big the Beastie Boys truly were.
Exactly, I’m 50 years old and know first hand that there was a moment when the Beastie Boys were the biggest rap act in the world.
He has no idea of the Hip-Hop magazines with their pictures and all the stories of the hotels they sawed holes in the floors etc. They are also a band.
Just listen to the entire Paul’s Boutique album. Masterpiece. Top 5 best hip hop albums of all time.
Who is bobbin their heads to this!!! Yes!!! Had that Fisher House Speaker in the trunk!!! Eventually changed it out for the Cerwin Vegas!!! This was the real deal back in the 80s..! Man..brought a smile!!
1:17 he got it.
RIGHT 😂....The More You Know!!!!!! Shouts to us old heads that was there for the original 👊🏾🎙
EXACTLY!!!
Didn't notice that until...NOW @51 😆😆
I did bump this in my car today! 🤘
Why is it so good to see the youth discover all the classics? For I really love to see this.
This was my first cassette tape in the third grade. Really enjoyed your reaction. It gave me goosebumps. Felt like I was hearing it again for the first time. Subscribed
I remember listening to this in 5th grade when it first came out. Still listening to it and the rest of Beastie Boys today. Need to listen to Paul Revere on a serious system to blow you away.
Know every word to every song on the entire album. Some of the greatest rap ever spit. These boys are as real as real gets. They lived it.
Girls would come on next...lol
Legends of Hip Hop ! This came out my Senior Year ! Changed my Life ! Seen them Live several times in 80’s & 90’s ! Doesn’t get any better…🔥⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️
Some of us old guys still bump this in our cars! Lol

Shoutin this lyric for lyric wit'out missin' a beat!....The entire album was/still is dope af! But there was always something about Paul Revere!
Run DMC & Beastie Boys Together Forever! Never Dies! Timeless...
I'm time travelin'!
Music had a richness ,soul, and flow back then when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s , beastie boys was a testament of that time in history … will never be a time again in music like it , was glad to have been a part of witnessing this nostalgic period in history where it was more simple yet so
