YES yes yes ... It's like listening to one long song. After this was over I was half expecting to hear ... "let it flow let your self go slow and low that is the tempo"
GenX here, this song came out my freshman year of high school, it was our anthem. I broke the cassette tape because I played it all the time. Every song on the tape was great. Music like this just connected us as kids.
Here is the Beastie Boys absolute gold song selection for y'all to consider : Car Thief Root Down 3 MCs & 1 DJ Sure Shot Shake Your Rump Hey Ladies Sounds Of Science 3 Minute Rule Egg Man Negotiation Limerick File Remote Control Too Many Rappers (feat Nas)
The Beastie Boys started off as a punk band in New York and back then hip hop was new to the scene and the only clubs in town that would allow MC's to perform was punk clubs because they were underground also and that's how the Beastie Boys got involved and interested in hip hop and would help push the club to put on MC's. So the Beastie Boys played a very very important role in the development of hip hop.
I think Intergalactic is the best video they had... and i love the way they use the distortion was so different backnin the day.. i love bands that are unique sounding... you have no doubt its a beatie boys song when you here any of their songs..
Before there was an Eminem, there were these three guys from New York. They paid their dues and proved they could be legends in rap music....and they did. I can listen to them all day. Brings me back to my high school days. During lunch, when living in Germany...we didn't have lunch rooms, so we ate wherever. Some times we'd just go to an empty class room and play the latest cassette tapes of music. Yes....cassettes. And believe me, that first album was amazing front to back. It gave you a true essense of their vibe. Beastie Boys would get us going all the time. There were a lot of 80's dances that people were doing at the time. The two we did to this song the most at school were: THE CABBAGE PATCH and the REEBOK.
YYYEEESSS! "3 MC's and 1 DJ" is strictly a performance video and a next step in the evolution of their sound. Take this journey slow as there is a large and fantastic gold mine of content for this channel just with the Beastie Boys discography.
Their producer (Rick Rubin) also produced one of the biggest heavy metal bands of all time, SLAYER!!! The songs "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" and "Fight for Your Right (To Party)" feature guitar work by one of the guitarists (Kerry King) from Slayer. Slayer was recording their Reign in Blood CD the same time the Beastie Boys were recording Licensed to ILL and Kerry recorded the guitar for peanuts, basically.
YAAASSS!!!! Let’s not forget Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax w Public Enemy, even Aerosmith w Run DMC, Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine🥰 Nothing better than a mix of two amazing styles of music. Must go old school-please tell me you know The Sugar Hill gang😳
YAAASSS!!!! Let’s not forget Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax w Public Enemy, even Aerosmith w Run DMC, Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine🥰 Nothing better than a mix of two amazing styles of music. Must go old school-please tell me you know The Sugar Hill gang😳
These guys were truly amazing. There isn’t a memory from my junior high/high school days that don’t have the beastie boys in it. So sad that Adam Yauch passed away several years back. Truly miss these guys and their music.
Walked into my physics class in high school. On the chalkboard someone wrote Licensed to Ill. I had no idea! 15 years ago you had songs for ringtones this was mine! Imagine a 40 year old neurology tech and this rings out at the desk!? Lmao!! Y’all rock!!
A brass monkey is a malt liquor beverage (40 oz. typically) mixed with orange juice. But yes.....The Beastie Boys were some of the best to ever do it. And they mixed different genres into their game so essentially everyone dug their sound.
Even though I was too young to be aware when this album actually came out, somehow this became the soundtrack to my high school and college years of the 90s. In band, a big chunk of us were obsessed with "Licensed to Ill" and this song in particular. We danced to it every band banquet, and the sax players and drumline learned to play it for football games. Then a whole new set of friends were obsessed in college and we'd yell lyrics at each other lol. So odd but I love it.
So…many…Beastie…songs. They always have so much fun and it makes YOU have fun. Believe the comments and make a list. ❤️ Edit: Amber, it’s Ad Rock you like. He’s like the ‘party’ voice. 🔥
Ad Rock is the high pitched / whiny voice, Mike D is the most "normal" of the three, and MCA has the really obvious raspiness to his voice, that's how I always tell them apart.
I wore this tape out! Even after all these years, I can sing/rap every line. A lady minister, too. The Beasties were amazing live; may MCA RIP. Who else expected "Let it flow, let yourself go..." to come up right after?
Waay back when the Beastie Boys started, rap wasn't seen as a black/white thing, but just a Brooklyn thing. They started as a punk group, but honestly they'd do whatever kind of music that house party was playing.
Rap was ALWAYS considered a Black thing. The Beastie's understood this very much and spoke to this. That's what made them great! Btw, it was a Bronx thing...That permeated to the other 4 boroughs.
@@jonpoetical Um, look at the history again. You got it all wrong. There was a short period in history when hop-hop wasn't about black or white, where it was only "this is what people are into in Brooklyn." Most of whom happened to be black. Before it spread across the country.
@@jonpoetical so did I, and it was definitely a Black and Puerto Rican thing, now that being said My Hip Hop ain’t Hip Hop without the Beastie Boys!!!! License to Ill is one of those Albums that shaped my youth!!
Ad Rock is the high pitched voice, MCA has the deep voice and Mike D is somewhere in the middle. Them having completely different voices and styles is one of the reasons it works so well
@@RyanMurray Trust me...its a citrus premix you buy at the liquor store....its extremely tart...had my share of it back in the 80's...lol...you could buy it for $5.95 a 5th until that song came out and then it went to $12-15 a 5th....
Hold it now, Hit it was the first song they released and they built the rest of this album around it. No Sleep 'til Brooklyn is another banger from this album. The whole album is great. Honestly...the best way to experience The Beastie Boys is to NOT jump around their catalog until you've finished License To Ill followed by Paul's Boutique. The group underwent a major change in style after Paul's Boutique.(they started playing their own instruments) And Paul's Boutique is, IMO, one of the best rap, and definitely one of the most historically significant, albums ever. Significant as to how it affected the music industry going forward.
And it could never be made today because of sample licensing. Hundreds of samples on the album. All would need to be cleared and paid for. There’d be no money left to make an album after paying so many sample fees. It would break a budget.
I don’t know about other people but this was the ultimate high school party song. We didn’t have brass monkey but we did have Bonne’s Farm Strawberry Wine! ✌️💗😊
If you haven't you should give Black sheep,KRS1,Pharsyde, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh. The 80's were a great time for music. Keep expanding your musical tastes.
It's not only the flow by himself - they are three guy singing the same song and they have 1000% synchronization with the flow. Is just mind blowing - I mean even in one takes or concerts they was able to flow with other fluently. Just genius.
This statement is NOT true, licensed to ill has always been their pinnacle album. That doesn't mean there hasn't been individual bangers that were absolutely out of this world, but as an entire work, licensed to ill was in a league of its own!
@@thegooniverse495 I’m not talking about those things. I’m talking about the quality of the music. And in my opinion, it gets better with each successive album.
I would say Paul’s Boutique, Check Your Head, I’ll Communication, and Hello Nasty are better quality albums than License to Ill. But all of them are great!
Back when you could buy the Brass Monkey single in stores, on cassette tape, the B side had the instrumental version which absolutely got played(and still does) at sporting events….everything from junior hockey to NBA/NFL/NHL games!
On Apple plus they have a documentary of the two surviving members of Beastie Boys on stage going over their history. Very funny and great. It’s called Beastie Boys Story
Thank you. I’ve never heard this one. Being a white Jewish guy myself, I was into the beastie boys back in the day, but only knew their main stream head’s like fight for your right to party, and no sleep till Brooklyn, and heard a few other ones. So I’m re-discovering them as well. I do remember seeing magazine ads for how to make the brass monkey. I don’t remember which alcohol was being advertised I just remember the term brass monkey. Thanks again.
Beastie Boys - "Three MC's and One DJ", "Shake Your Rump", and "Intergalactic"... just to name few to go on the MUST hear list. Either way, please dive into this rabbit hole instead of just doing one song here and there, every now and then. It's a journey where you can't just check out like one song a month. Once you start, keep going...
The song right after Brass Monkey “Slow and low” is tops too. I’m a little late to the party so I’m sure you’ve heard. So many great songs by these guys.
@@danmacias5173 Lots of people give him credit for being the "only" from the old school. But me, I'm fine with the Beasties keeping their head down when it comes to all that "discourse."
To get an idea of what Eminem thinks of the Beasties, compare his album cover of “Kamikaze” to “License to Ill”. By the way, anything post-1990 is not “old school”, young uns. 🤪
This was one of my favs when it came out. Great Party song while you drinking Brass Money. Still even have a pic of me at a party with a bottle of Brass Monkey in hand.lol
This song brings back memories of being a teenager in the late 80s and going on some crazy rides at the local carnival or the county fair and being slammed around on a rollercoaster to this song and several others by the Beastie Boys and having zero idea what the song was about LOL. Good times. BTW, the album that this is on, "License To Ill", was their breakout album and one of the first multimillion-selling rap albums. Eminem paid homage to the album a few years ago by releasing an album, "Kamikaze", with a cover that was almost identical to the cover of "License To Ill".
The Beastie Boys became a full on band. They have an album of instrumentals collected from various albums in which they play the instruments. They have some fantastic videos. Spike Jonz directed the legendary video for Sabotage (recorded as a band). The video fir 3 MC and 1 DJ is fantastic. I forgot the song, but there is one with actors (including Will Ferrell) playing them. The Fight for Your,Right video made them stars.
This is such a packed house 🏠 party song. People would always play this song and the house would bump so hard I'm surprised we didn't all fall through the floor.
Ow... also Gary Moore live.. Still got the blues Parisienne walkways The sky is crying He is my blues hero. The guitar solo's are insane. Greetz again :)
3 MC's and 1 DJ is one of the best video/songs as a whole, and includes one of the greatest DJ's ever showing off his amazing skills. If you like this that is one of the best, and the Official video gives you a great view of each of them, recording in their actual studio at the time.
I remember being 10 or 11 when this first came out, and wed be at the roller rink when this would play. The whole place would go nuts, all these crazy children rapping along to it skating in circles as fast as possible. Not many groups/bands have that universal draw, even today
No sleep til Brooklyn is a good time by them. You will probably get a lot of requests for 'Sabotage', which they did later and was more technically advanced, but their early songs like this were just popping! Great reaction guys.
To be honest with you the whole album is amazing and ground breaking! You should react to the whole thing.... But if not, "Hey Ladies" and "Shake your Rump"
I went to high-school in the 80s .EVERYBODY loved the Beastie Boys..esp this album....rap/hip hop heads, metalheads (like me), new waves kids, kids into dance music , nerds, hippies, etc.
Everything on “License To Ill” was crushing it!
YES yes yes ... It's like listening to one long song. After this was over I was half expecting to hear ... "let it flow let your self go slow and low that is the tempo"
True story!
FACT!!!
@@StaciaAmnaber I love how they all flow into the next song perfectly. Definitely can't shuffle that album!
I owned the cassette tape. License to ill
GenX here, this song came out my freshman year of high school, it was our anthem. I broke the cassette tape because I played it all the time. Every song on the tape was great. Music like this just connected us as kids.
I’m going to strongly urge you to do a deep dive into the Beastie Boys. You guys will love them. Promise.

And if you haven't heard Run DMC, try Tricky to start.
Or Run DMC with Aerosmith doing Walk this way.
I love Tricky
Sabotage!

Yesss.. RIP Adam 🥺
You’re definitely not wrong when referring to the Beastie Boys as a band or a group. All these dudes played/play the instruments.
exactly what I was going to say. They became better and better musicians with each album, especially starting with check you head.
I mean they did start as a punk band so they were pretty instrument knowledgeable.
BEASTIE BOYS!!! FUN!!! 🤟✌👊🏼👍🏻
THAT'S all I remember them as👊🏼!!

Listen their album Paul’s Boutique. So far ahead of their time.
Maybe, even ahead of it's time, right now !
Groundbreaking !
The Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band of rap.
@@bricesbigbasstacular8172 With B-Boy Bouillabaisse, I lean more to Abbey Road.
I keep saying that truth
with all the sampling on that record I don't think it could be done today. So much awesome on that album.
Beastie Boys “Car Thief” off the Paul’s Boutique album is amazing 🤩
Definitely check out No Sleep Til Brooklyn!
The story behind that song is glorious, the crew trying to crash out on the train after a show and the boys kept screaming No Sleep Till Brooklyn!

that these beats are fresh

Hard to believe this song is exactly 35 year old this year.

Brass Monkey was hard to find but we managed to locate it back in the day. The bottles were covered in dust. Fruity tasting fo sure.
Yes yes oh my so true
We had Old English and colts 40's.
Bottles & James watermelon wine coolers and Jamaica me happy passion fruit coolers
God I can taste it and it made me a little nauseous lol
You have no idea how HUGE this album was when it dropped. It was epic. EVERY song is great.
This was the best song to blow out your Kenwood speakers to back in the day on cruise nights. The bass...yeeeaaahhh!! 😂
You guys gotta react to their hit "Intergalactic Planetary"
Beastie boys “ 3MC’s 1DJ” is a must!
If you haven't you should give Black sheep,KRS1,Pharsyde, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh. The 80's were a great time for music. Keep expanding your musical tastes.

How about a little PM Dawn to mellow us out.
Set adrift of Memory Bliss
Looking through patient eyes, and Id die without you, as well!!
Saw them in concert twice - Still have the Licensed I=To Ill shirt - these guys owned the late 80's
Bah this is their old stuff. They got a thousand times better later on. Try Sureshot
nothing wrong with the classics bub! all their shit is good!
@@intotheabyss42478 This sounds immature man. Later on they really showed off their musical skills
This album ruled the planet in 1986 ! The whole album was huge!!
fight for your right to party is their worst song. please skip it
When my daughter was little, she thought they were saying YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO POTTY. she laughed so hard lol
That’s funny as hell !
This song brings back memories of being a teenager in the late 80s and going on some crazy rides at the local carnival or the county fair and being slammed around on a rollercoaster to this song and several others by the Beastie Boys and having zero idea what the song was about LOL. Good times. BTW, the album that this is on, "License To Ill", was their breakout album and one of the first multimillion-selling rap albums. Eminem paid homage to the album a few years ago by releasing an album, "Kamikaze", with a cover that was almost identical to the cover of "License To Ill".
Seeing you smiling this whole video makes me smile. 😊
"That part sounds familiar." Haha it's used so much in movies too. Iconic, truly.
The Beastie Boys became a full on band. They have an album of instrumentals collected from various albums in which they play the instruments. They have some fantastic videos. Spike Jonz directed the legendary video for Sabotage (recorded as a band). The video fir 3 MC and 1 DJ is fantastic. I forgot the song, but there is one with actors (including Will Ferrell) playing them. The Fight for Your,Right video made them stars.
That is one cool song. No group will ever sing that song better
I love the smile Amber has as, I assume, she is remembering her Dad singing around the house…
This is such a packed house 🏠 party song. People would always play this song and the house would bump so hard I'm surprised we didn't all fall through the floor.
Just want to say thank you. You 2 are awesome
Ow... also Gary Moore live..
Still got the blues
Parisienne walkways
The sky is crying
He is my blues hero. The guitar solo's are insane.
Greetz again :)
3 MC's and 1 DJ is one of the best video/songs as a whole, and includes one of the greatest DJ's ever showing off his amazing skills. If you like this that is one of the best, and the Official video gives you a great view of each of them, recording in their actual studio at the time.
This was a staple song at the skating rink! Wow brings back memories!
I remember being 10 or 11 when this first came out, and wed be at the roller rink when this would play. The whole place would go nuts, all these crazy children rapping along to it skating in circles as fast as possible. Not many groups/bands have that universal draw, even today
No sleep til Brooklyn is a good time by them. You will probably get a lot of requests for 'Sabotage', which they did later and was more technically advanced, but their early songs like this were just popping! Great reaction guys.
To be honest with you the whole album is amazing and ground breaking! You should react to the whole thing.... But if not, "Hey Ladies" and "Shake your Rump"
I went to high-school in the 80s .EVERYBODY loved the Beastie Boys..esp this album....rap/hip hop heads, metalheads (like me), new waves kids, kids into dance music , nerds, hippies, etc.
