The Beasties were an original. They never tried to act like they were from the hood, they had their own unique style which earned them respect from the hip hop heads.
@Augusto Pinochet beastie boys might as well be very early hip hop artists. Damn near close to the inception of hip hop (not really but in terms of mainstream and made the genre taken seriously and watched out for)
❤ absolutely They were completely their own kinda jam One thing them and rap/hip- hop (Eazy -E, Salt-n-Pepa, 2 live crew, LL Cool J just to name a few) from the same time frame* had in common was either you enjoyed them or you despised them 🤔🙃
@christygibson193 Beastie Boys started in the late 70s early 80s as punk rock/hip hop band, basically invented their own style. They were way before some of those people you mentioned and actually Run Dmc was the side act for THEM at one point. The Beastie boys can all play at least 3 instruments apiece. They're pioneers and very talented. RIP MCA Adam Yauch. Saw them in concert in 1984 at 14 years old then I saw them with public enemy in Germany in 1992. DOPE stuff right there.
I love the Beastie Boys and I always will, but they regularly rapped about carrying guns and shooting lol but since they're these mainstream clean white kids here nobody takes it seriously so it was never a problem
The original drummer for leftover crack was also the drummer for beastie boys and suicidal tendencies. Hip Hop and punk rock are literally the same. Both are very anti establishment.
And they were considered fake at that time by the people that loved "real music". Funny how it all works, isn't it? There's a shitload of songs that have came out in the last few years that people like you dismiss as "shit" and "fake". But in 5-10 years, the people that are in to those current songs are going to be on TH-cam talking about how those are the only "real" songs , and that the new shit at that time just isn't as good as the good old days 5-10 years prior. And the cycle continues. I hope you spend more time enjoying music than hating it.
yeah so fake...they had fun doing their thing and its good music no autotune shit like today ..First record i bought was license to ill and it was and its still the best one...nowadays nobody makes so nice happy music its all about the money and shit...
I am 56 year black man, in 1987 I was 20 years old, I was born and raised in DC, I was a security guard, at a hotel that Beastie Boys Run DMC LL Cool J Doug E fresh Slick Rick stayed, and the concert was at the Capitol Center, real hip hop one of the best shows that I've ever been to.
That’s badass memories you’ve got right there brother. You got four years on me. 86-87 and I was a freshman in high school, I was going to see Run DMC, Beastie Boys and Davy D. In June of 87 think it was at the Greek Theater. Parents had other plans springing a divorce on us lol
I was just thinking this as I saw this video..."What a bunch of flippin' dorks!". Song was and is solid, the whole album I have memorized and in every possible format...
Yeah, @Colton R, not sure why you had to bring 'race' into it like that...I don't really care about a guy named after candy, and for that matter, Third Bass also preceded him...
@Colton R, I doubt actual Jews, especially from New York, think the 'killing Jesus' part 'funny'. You can find yourself funny if you want...doesn't mean anybody else agrees with you. Thank dog I'm not a 'New York guy'...I've been there...extremely unimpressed. Little kids giving cabbies the finger, and their mom joining in, even though THEY were walking against a green... Some idiots throwing rocks off of roofs and hitting people and cars... Dudes in $90,ooo SUVs turning in their side mirrors to illegally merge into traffic to get into a tunnel and off the dogforsaken island... I've driven across this country...been to Europe...never met or encountered such a collection of jerkholes and douchenozzles. Also, I sent this screenshot to my friends in New York friends (who agree with my assessment, by the way, and have colorful things to say about the drivers too), and they LOVE the Beasties (as do I), and two of them are, in fact, Jewish. One of them is reasonably well-known JEWISH comic. To quote him, "I see what he was going for, but he missed. That isn't comedy. Also, I don't think he knows the meaning of the word 'disparaged', though that explains why he thinks he is funny." Please, stop while you're behind...
I was in the room as the assistant editor when this was cut on 45th street in NYC. The editors in the next room complained we were too loud. So we turned it up. The BASS was thumping!
I'm a black man I remember when they first came out on the radio I bought there cd them dam guys had their shit hittin I love their music then and to this day I still love them they earn my respect much love
I bought the tape after saving up my babysitting money. I took it to my little cousins house because he had a Teddy Ruxpin and thought Teddy's mouth would move to the Beastie Boys tape. It didn't.....I was sad, but that is life.
@@claytonbouldin9381 That would've been crazy cool back in the day. It's possible to program a teddy rux nowadays. But it requires some work. *Essentially the stereo tape is played back in mono, with the other channel being used to program movements.*
I'm 25 and grew up on them, then my mom bought me the Solid Gold Hits album, I'll never forget em they paved the way like no other back in them days, wish I was around when these guys got popular.
This beat ahead of it time, these Jewish boys had it going on. I'm a Black women and I always use to listen to them in the 80's my boyfriend use to laugh at me and then one day he called me to say he understood this song. I knew they were the bomb back then.
They looked so happy together... They actually look like friends spending some good times... And enjoying what they love.. now if you get 3 Artis together is just for money.
I'm a 42 yr old black brutha and I still feel 's vibes if this era. And they still bump today with no shame. a true classic from den white boys. may one of them rest in peace and da last two stay BLESSED! I miss those vibes I felt when they was flowing bak in da days. smh......(sigh). 😇
Luckily, colour of skin has never been an issue with the beasties, as it should be in true hiphop. This band was/is so amazing it unites people of all colour, gender and generations. I can put on a Beastie Boys record at 2 in the night and it doesn't matter if you are a b-boy, punk, raver or metalhead, they all enter the dancefloor and go apeshit crazy. The only other band that can pull that off (that I know of) is The Prodigy. And alas, they are also missing a key member that is dead for a few years now.
It was 1989. W.R. GA. Russel Parkway. Litchfield Theater. 1970 VW. Brand new very crudely made speaker box holding 2 brand new Kicker Stitches 15's pushed by a rather cheap 200 watt amp. The stereo was on but not playing just to keep everything warm. The cassette was waiting perfectly timed to the :57 mark in the song. We hit play and vibrated all the glass in the movies as we approached the entrance. So much so the manager came out and made us leave. We were so proud to build something so powerful on our own. The thing is we couldn't have done it without the Beastie Boys. Thank you BB's. For the music, the bass, the fun, and the memories. We owe you!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing EPMD, Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince, The Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy in 1988 at the Greek Theater right after I got out the Navy. It was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever attended.
@@marthatrevino5186You think so I saw those guys at Nassau Coliseum along with Stet and the drummer Bobby Simmons full band show A few weeks later saw Big Daddy, Biz, Kool Moe, Doug E, BDP, and the god Rakim on the same stage He ain't half as lucky as me, kid
Between 1980 and 89, I went from 8 years old to 17!!! Yeah the music and clothes styles I liked, but I was super skinny and was bullied and made fun of at school, so it wasn't exactly the best times for me!! 43 years old now and teased a little but not as bad as it was when I was a kid! Single, work at a casino, living with my folks and I couldn't be happier!!! Would be happier without the crap music but yeah!!
David Theisen I guess its different strokes for different folks. I loved the 80's but hated the 90's. Spent far too long in a bad marriage. I guess it depends on the expieriences and memories each person has.
I got my Licensed To Ill cd at a cop auction where the cd was left in a stolen boombox. ~93. Made my own case with an empty and a sheet of typing paper so I knew the track names. Paul's Boutique came into my life soon after and I was hooked for life. Bout to turn 45. I'm old too. Wish my dad was so cool; he did turn me on to some great oldies, but he stole my Ice Cube "Lethal Injection" tape. Meh, it wasn't his best anyway.
They were just them. This is what originality looks like. I grew up to these guys music, RIP MCA, they represented Hip Hop well and they respected the culture and craft. They are certified legends.
What I love most about the Beastie Boys and this video in particular is that these guys are genuine as all, and genuinely having fun. Is music fun anymore? These don't look like 3 guys who are worried about record sales or their image. Good times in the 80's.
Ah, this brings back fond memories... Just graduated high school, my first car, my best friend, and my first LSD trip. Licensed to Ill was the soundtrack, what a beautiful time. Beastie Boys and MCA, you were in a league of your own and I will miss you. Love.
Beastie Boys style is so different from everything else. They each come in, drop a couple lines, next one comes in, each say different words to one line. And I swear every video is them getting close to a camera that has a distorted lens.
Me too. Had to tape it back together in 3 different places. LoL. Luckily it wasn't any of my favorite songs. But I loved this album. I think this was probably their best album.
phattieg Their very last album was surprisingly good I thought. I also thought Paul's Boutique was pretty incredible too, especially from a sampling perspective-but so different from License to Ill. Lots of things I didn't catch until years later when I had more exposure to music. All these years later, I can listen to License to Ill and I know about 90% of the lyrics, which is crazy when you think about it.
Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson Same here, still know all the words to almost every song on this album. But in terms of hip hop, this album was pretty much all hip hop. Pauls Boutique wasn't so much so. It was kinda a mix of a little hip hop, a little jazz, a little rock. I only really listened to a few songs on it. Probably would have listened to more, but CD's make it too easy to skip tracks you don't feel like sitting through. I didn't too much care for "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" or "Fight For Your Right", but it was a cassette, so it was easier to just let it play. Either way, I loved this album, and thought about it the other day and figured I would play it here on TH-cam. Actually was intending to play "Slow Ride" and ended up recalling the order of the songs as they were on the tape, and playing the whole album. LoL
phattieg I agree. I rarely listen to "No Sleep" and I always skip "Fight for your Right." Sure that was one of my favs as a kid, but as an adult it's not, and it certainly doesn't represent their best work. If you haven't already, check out Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. It took a few spins, but it's really well done. To the 5 Boroughs was also dope, which somehow I missed back when it came out around 2004. Peace.
Man them boys was some fools, fuckin' love the Beasties. Always have always will. Dudes could rap about some dumb shit and still sound cool as hell doin it. Just having fun on the mic.
I heard this at a Knicks game recently on NBA TV. Its the only rap that is still cool to this very day. Those guys doing the P.A. at MSG knew that as well. Beastie Boys Timeless always.
It's amazing how soon many things (concepts/political views/public opinion, sports predictions, award show favorites) in this world is just a big middle school popularity
...popularity contest. Let me tell you, I speak from experience, as you get older it doesn't change much. It just morphs into water cooler/locker room/political platform talk. Why????? ?
My first concert.. - 1987 Beastie Boys and RUNDMC.. License to Ill tour.. Not braggjn jus sayin It blew my 13 year old mind and deafened me a little. Good times.

Real
Me toooooo

Yeah, the video feels like hanging out with goofy wasted Beastie Boys, it always puts me in a good mood.
This song still sounds good after all these years

@Aronomi dont forget to thank Rick Rubin,Hurricane and Run-DMC...the engine behind the...ahem,talent.
Ah, this brings back fond memories... Just graduated high school, my first car, my best friend, and my first LSD trip. Licensed to Ill was the soundtrack, what a beautiful time. Beastie Boys and MCA, you were in a league of your own and I will miss you. Love.
Best ever!
Beastie Boys style is so different from everything else. They each come in, drop a couple lines, next one comes in, each say different words to one line. And I swear every video is them getting close to a camera that has a distorted lens.
Sometimes they do that whole "negative" thing, like in "So What Cha Want" ...
It's not unlike what a lot of "crews" were doing at the time, they didn't come up with it.
I love how they trade back and forth on the mic.
@@rccipriani yup a RUN DMC thing
@@mackmccord3743 Who they idolized and were mentored by.
The Absolute Best Rap Group of All Time, Then and Now, No Question!
The were so underrated when hip hop pioneers or the greats are mentioned, part of the reason rap is so big now
By far the best rap band ever!!
...I really want an Ad Rock ring
Same for me and my beastie ( bestie )
One of my favorite videos ever
0:14 - That 808! This song requires and '87 Camaro with a Kicker.
I'm happy that identify themselves frequently to prevent any confusion.
WHEN RAP WAS ACTUAIIY G00D ,,, ,,, RIP 80'S
MCA gravelly voice tho ❤ yo..."Hold it now Hit it" wuz MY SH!+ !!
I wore this tape OUT.
Me too. Had to tape it back together in 3 different places. LoL. Luckily it wasn't any of my favorite songs. But I loved this album. I think this was probably their best album.
phattieg Their very last album was surprisingly good I thought. I also thought Paul's Boutique was pretty incredible too, especially from a sampling perspective-but so different from License to Ill. Lots of things I didn't catch until years later when I had more exposure to music. All these years later, I can listen to License to Ill and I know about 90% of the lyrics, which is crazy when you think about it.
Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson Same here, still know all the words to almost every song on this album. But in terms of hip hop, this album was pretty much all hip hop. Pauls Boutique wasn't so much so. It was kinda a mix of a little hip hop, a little jazz, a little rock. I only really listened to a few songs on it. Probably would have listened to more, but CD's make it too easy to skip tracks you don't feel like sitting through. I didn't too much care for "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" or "Fight For Your Right", but it was a cassette, so it was easier to just let it play. Either way, I loved this album, and thought about it the other day and figured I would play it here on TH-cam. Actually was intending to play "Slow Ride" and ended up recalling the order of the songs as they were on the tape, and playing the whole album. LoL
phattieg I agree. I rarely listen to "No Sleep" and I always skip "Fight for your Right." Sure that was one of my favs as a kid, but as an adult it's not, and it certainly doesn't represent their best work. If you haven't already, check out Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. It took a few spins, but it's really well done. To the 5 Boroughs was also dope, which somehow I missed back when it came out around 2004. Peace.
I still do to this day.
Hold it now!!
they was the first to not give a fuck definitely brought some thing special to hip hop 🔥✅️💯
Wore this cassette tape out at 15 yrs old...BB got me thru my teens and helped define our generation (black, white, brown, purple). RIP MCA.
The basss line so killa
The fucking creativity of these guys. It was nice when music still had soul💁🏻♀️
Man them boys was some fools, fuckin' love the Beasties. Always have always will. Dudes could rap about some dumb shit and still sound cool as hell doin it. Just having fun on the mic.
I heard this at a Knicks game recently on NBA TV. Its the only rap that is still cool to this very day. Those guys doing the P.A. at MSG knew that as well. Beastie Boys Timeless always.
It makes me happy how many hits this got. Can't always rate quality by popularity, but sometimes it's right on the money.
Ya know?! If that's not the punk rock ethos, I don't know what is!😉😛
It's amazing how soon many things (concepts/political views/public opinion, sports predictions, award show favorites) in this world is just a big middle school popularity
...popularity contest. Let me tell you, I speak from experience, as you get older it doesn't change much. It just morphs into water cooler/locker room/political platform talk.
Why????? ?
@@rfrancespizarro2972 no one rlly asked
Def Jam '87 live at MSG... The crowd went nuts when they opened with this! One of my fav jams! 🔊💥💪🏾
The dorkiest yet the coolest dudes in the room...
I remember when this album came out and I still jam it today
damm, jam from the past...still remember jamming it on my boom box back in 1985....class of 86 here.
Hard to believe you jammed to this in '85 since it wasnt released till the end of 1986.
@@muddpatterson3119 It was actually released as a single in April 1986 so more like the spring of 1986.
@@fusionn4316 Well I stand corrected. But it's still not '85
Nothing no blings ,no designer clothes on just fun beats and rhymes .These boys was hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥
doing these guys for a music project and honestly these guys seem like most of ny friends just doing there thing and having fun its fucking great
Yes! Just pure fun. Not trying to be the baddest or the coolest. Just enjoying 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
3 jewish white boys from brooklyn that took the rap industry to a new level, mad love and mad respect for you guys, shalom
"Pistol packing monkey drinkin no money bum! and I come from Brooklyn cuz thats where I'm from...." This is the best Beastie Boys song of all time.
Their style was impeccable; eccentric; unorthodoxed. Looking @ them u would have never thought but it was perfect.
since i've been in 5th grade at age was 10 then this is my favorite band. my dream would be able to meet them now im 13 and there still my favorite
So many samples taken from this song
My first concert.. - 1987 Beastie Boys and RUNDMC.. License to Ill tour..
Not braggjn jus sayin
It blew my 13 year old mind and deafened me a little. Good times.
