Man when we were freshmen in high school this came out. It didn't matter which friends car you got in they had this tape on it was just a different spot on the tape. This whole album is awesome, listen to every song with an open mind
Heh heh…. You said “they had it on tape” LOL!!! Don’t worry, I also owned a cassette tape of this album. So funny though! 😂 The use of the words “cassette” or “tape” automatically means we’re ‘old’ right. Hell, young people now wouldn’t even be able to figure out how to dial 911 on a rotary telephone. They would do the circle thing than disconnect the call thinking it meant ‘send’.
Y'all are crushing it. Enjoy the Beastie Boys ride. Side note: the girls being underage is a diss to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Next song request-3MCs and 1 DJ. Keep it coming!
These guys were like 18-19 years old when they recorded this stuff. Underage girls was a reference to Led Zeppelin and they didn't go around shooting people.
Yeah, The Beastie Boys have a huge variety of sounds, with the best beats, and really creative videos. Seriously, it’s gonna be a while. Score you hear a song you don’t really like from them. I recommend official videos for “Intergalactic”, “Sure Shot”, “3 MCs and 1 DJ”, “Pass the Mic”, “Root Down” and so many more. Also they made an appearance on The Chappelle Show doin this song live (The New Style) and it’s awesome!
I was in grade school when this jawn came out :) I still remember dancing the “Smurf” to this LOL 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This song, Paul revere, Hold it now hit it, were my favorite from this album.
Guys I was in high school back then and to see you young guys appreciate our old music is priceless. The Beasties are one of those rare groups is timeless, raceless and have a huge catalogue for us all to appreciate...even your kids and grandkids. Peace
Beastie Boys on my 🔥list since 80’s . They are LEGENDS!! Original HIP HOP. The real deal .. You gotta dive into the catalog . They are in the Hall of Fame! Hip hop Royalty
This album was back in '86. Before you guys were born. Crazy stuff. I remember memorizing this whole album when I was in 6th grade. Brings back memories.
This whole album is gold! License to ill is the soundtrack of my heyday! I owned it in vinyl, cassette & eventually CD. Listen to all of license to ill
Old school hip hop was more about creative story-telling and word play. And it was about making people laugh and just turning the party out. These dudes put their tracks together with so many dope samples, beat switches, flow styles, and they were one of the best at that tag team rapping style. The Beastie Boys were always entertaining and they created their own lane in hip hop history.
13-14 years old when this dropped. I remember walking the streets of Hamilton Ontario with this blaring on my ghetto blaster. I thought I was the shit. Great memories. Beauties still rule!
My recommendation is Shadrach, the official video. It's a live set and MCA (RIP) directed and animated it. The lyrics are fire and to me it's a song the absolutely captured who they were at the time. It's my favorite off Paul's Boutique. Which, if you are a hip-hop fan and you do not own a copy of it, you need to do your homework.
The “underage” comment was in reference to Jimmy Page from their previous lyrical line. It was rumored that he liked them young. The Beastie Boys were poking at that rumor.
Yeah, people don't always know that Licensed to Ill is satirical in a lot of ways. A lot of these kinds of references to the 'rock star lifestyle' were meant ironically, and this is indeed calling out Page. Because all that stuff about him and young girls is not just rumors.
Go GUYSSS!!! So glad you're doing the Beasties....Sure Shot, Car Thief, 3 MCs & 1 DJ, Sabotage, High Plains Drifter...it goes on and on! They were some innovators...
When that bass dropped it killed em in the hood and rattled some speakers...........By the way they played their own instruments......You gotta listen to their whole catalog to see how FIRE they are young brothers.
Just so you know, the Beasties were one of 5 ORIGINAL Groups on Def Jam Records, which included: Run DMC LL Cool J. Public Enemy Kurtis Blow Beasties Boys Please read & learn about Def Jam Records & those groups. They were one of the Cornerstones of Hip Hop. Russell Simmons & Rick Rubins Founded Def Jam Records And PLEASE Find & watch the movie: "Krush Groove". It will help u out a Lot on ur Hip Hop History. And it's a Dope Ass Movie.
Actually, nobody cared about "underage" in 1986... they just didn't. So long as you meant high school age and not kindergarten. I had teachers in high school back then who were openly dating my classmates. It was just a different world.
I was in the 6th grade when License To ill came out. I wore that tape out. You can look at their lyrics like a comedian telling jokes. No matter how wild or crazy it is it's just a joke and with the Beasties it's just a rhyme.
No, they were in their early twenties. Regardless, they were talking about Jimmy Page, the guitarist from Led Zeppelin, who was apparently into teenage girls. So they were basically dissing him (even though they sampled them, haha).
Supposedly? Like all the memoirs and documentation? That’s between you and yourself. Yes many of us definitely knew it was wrong. If not we should ask ourself some real hard questions about our childhood.
You guys are heading down the Beastie rabbit hole...enjoy the ride. SO many great jams you need to check out and react to. Paul Revere, Intergalactic, 3 MCs and 1 DJ, Root Down, Hold it Now, Shake Your Rump, The New Style....and so many more. And do yourselves a favor and watch the full concert they did in Scotland (Glasgow) in 1999 - INSANE energy for the whole show. "ShakaShine Reacts" did a cool reaction video and breakdown of that concert - worth a watch. More Beastie Reactions plz!!!
What's up RaymondKeylow!!! You guys probably didn't know that Rick Rubin produced the Beastie Boys album License to Ill!!! and The Pharcyde also sampled this song for their cut Drop!!! I love the adlibs in this song and the beat is fire!!! Great production and Great reaction guys!!! Luv ya!!!
It’s with a turntable and a TR 808. That’s why it’s simple. Conceptually it’s brilliant. In fact I’m shocked that no one has jacked and looped the beat at the end. Also rest easy, they were in HS when they wrote this. They’re weren’t Bambatta-ing people.
Alot of the slang was NYC mid 80's Hip Hop slang--so it's very era specfic like "rolled up a Woolie & watched Columbo" A Woolie is weed mixed with coke in either rolling paper or a cigar & Columbo was a tv show
Beastie Boys wayyyy ahead of the game…brilliant lyricists musicians artists & Hip-Hop innovators. I regard them up there with The Beatles….yes that’s correct…The Beatles. ✌🏻❤️
I was in high school when this came out. I was totally into heavy metal at the time, but this kicked my ass. They were kinda seen as a novelty, three silly early 20-something white boys from New York rapping, but they were more than just a fluke and had musical talent. Obnoxious and over the top...it was great. I still crank "Licensed to Ill" to this day.
Just this one song ……………………. Legendary so much has been inspired from this one song. I don’t think you young guys understand but glad you opened your minds to hearing it
Welcome to the World of the Beastie Boys.... incredible production and rhymes and countless unforgettable tracks and incredible albums, worth diving into. Some other songs worth reacting to: "She's Crafty", "Rhymin and Stealin", "Paul Revere" "Hold It Now, Hit It", "Shake Your Rump" "Egg Man" "High Plains Drifter" "Shadrach" "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun", "Car Thief" "B-boy Bouillabaise" "Jimmy James" "Pass the Mic" "Professor Booty" "Sure Shot" "Root Down" "Get It Together ft. Q-tip" "B Boys Makin with the Freak Freak" "Intergalactic" "3 MCs and 1 DJ"....thats a start.
One of their best early hits!! Love them‼️🎶🎵🔥🔥🤘🤘 Keep in mind when listening to their lyrics, they were being pretty goofy & silly most of the time. Many of their lyrics are NOT at all meant to be taken seriously.
Take into consideration that this was what 1985-86? There wasn’t no go back and forth to compare it to. They we’re pioneers no doubt. From that point of view this music was from another universe so to speak.
The song was released in 1986 and they were born on 1964 & 1965, so they were probably between the ages of 20-22 when it was written. They WERE teenagers when they were doing their punk stuff though.
Everyone who reacts to this song they hear the part "the girlies I like are underage" but completely miss the part about Jimmy Page. But I love watching these react videos. Seeing the joy they get from listening to what we grew up with.
I just turned 50 ,so I was around back then when those rap albums were hitting the stores back in the 80s ...I had 2 drawers of rap tapes besides all my rock albums ...What we liked about cassettes is that you could take them with you, in the boom box that would make the blox go boom.. & the bodies spinning on the carboard was lovely ...those daze went zoom ..hi there 😄
That “oh” part at the end is what Travis Scott producer sampled in “Carousel” from Astroworld with Frank Also, I’m pretty sure that underage girls bar was a diss toward Jimmy Page and has something to do with a pop culture issue from 1980’s
![ง้อ (ALRIGHT) - FOURTH Prod. by URBOYTJ [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qs8ZeV6Dqj8/mqdefault.jpg)
I love watching people's faces the first time they hear the greatest beat drop of all time!
Man when we were freshmen in high school this came out. It didn't matter which friends car you got in they had this tape on it was just a different spot on the tape. This whole album is awesome, listen to every song with an open mind
Ahh, tapes. 😁
My new 808 old school album is coming out soon! All Beastie Boys fan clubs members be there!
I had this tape too! 😜
The tape (& cd) is long gone, but most of this album is still on my playlist today! Still love it
I still have this cassette tape 😊
Heh heh…. You said “they had it on tape” LOL!!!
Don’t worry, I also owned a cassette tape of this album. So funny though! 😂
The use of the words “cassette” or “tape” automatically means we’re ‘old’ right.
Hell, young people now wouldn’t even be able to figure out how to dial 911 on a rotary telephone. They would do the circle thing than disconnect the call thinking it meant ‘send’.
"High Plains Drifter" is a must, the combo of tumping beat and over laping back ground vocals is euphoric...
Probably the best song along with Root Down
@@msabccbscnnoanfoxnews No doubt, there catalog runs deep...
Beasties have cemented themselves as the baddest multi genre rap icons of the history of the creation of home sapien.......
The thumping beat, the drums,
are a sample from
The Eagles song “Them Shoes”
The sound of science (Paul's Boutique)
Y'all are crushing it. Enjoy the Beastie Boys ride. Side note: the girls being underage is a diss to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Next song request-3MCs and 1 DJ. Keep it coming!
Dissing Jimmy Page while stealing his music.... Shush
@@TommyPage-cv5ky He slept with 14 year old girls. Fact.
These guys were like 18-19 years old when they recorded this stuff. Underage girls was a reference to Led Zeppelin and they didn't go around shooting people.
I've been watching a lot of videos of folks listening to Beastie Boys for the first time, I love it.
on a binge right now
Yeah, The Beastie Boys have a huge variety of sounds, with the best beats, and really creative videos. Seriously, it’s gonna be a while. Score you hear a song you don’t really like from them.

Also they made an appearance on The Chappelle Show doin this song live (The New Style) and it’s awesome!
They’re not ready for 3 MC’s & 1 DJ.
This my favourite song on their first album. The beat in the 2nd part hard as fuck.
I was in grade school when this jawn came out :) I still remember dancing the “Smurf” to this LOL 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song, Paul revere, Hold it now hit it, were my favorite from this album.
“I went to the party and I did the smu-erf” 😂. Something like that.
“Car Thief” on Paul’s Boutique is fire 🔥
Guys I was in high school back then and to see you young guys appreciate our old music is priceless. The Beasties are one of those rare groups is timeless, raceless and have a huge catalogue for us all to appreciate...even your kids and grandkids. Peace
“ Get It Together” beasties and Q-Tip

The Beastie Boys were always entertaining and they created their own lane in hip hop history.
I agree brotha Jeff and on May 27th we go be story telling and dropping

Slick Rick and UTFO were staples in the 80s
13-14 years old when this dropped. I remember walking the streets of Hamilton Ontario with this blaring on my ghetto blaster. I thought I was the shit. Great memories. Beauties still rule!

The “underage” comment was in reference to Jimmy Page from their previous lyrical line. It was rumored that he liked them young. The Beastie Boys were poking at that rumor.
Yeah ..I heard he even kept one underage girl locked at his home, like we keep a dog ! .... evil...
Yeah, people don't always know that Licensed to Ill is satirical in a lot of ways. A lot of these kinds of references to the 'rock star lifestyle' were meant ironically, and this is indeed calling out Page. Because all that stuff about him and young girls is not just rumors.
They were also underage at the time as well lol. They were 17 when they made License To Ill
Young or old we go be dropping 808s on America like it's COLD
on May 27th. All Beastie Boys fan club members are asked to be present!

This is my ring tone lol
Great reaction ✌♥️

He said the girlie I like are underage. It was in reference to the line before about Jimmy Page who was suspected of dating underage girls.
More than suspected! 😂

🔥🔥WELCOME to the B Boys rabbit hole🌋🌋
Gotta check out:
Sure Shot
Root Down

Damn…Sublime uses the “kick it” sample, never realized it was from the Beasties!
I loved cruising in my car bumping this whole album when it came out.
love the faces after the drop 5:03 and instantly hooked..
Foundation young boys... the days when being original mattered.
When that bass dropped it killed em in the hood and rattled some speakers...........By the way they played their own instruments......You gotta listen to their whole catalog to see how FIRE they are young brothers.
I agree brotha and on May 27th we go be dropping some serious 808s
on America. Check me out!
You need to WATCH intergalactic or sabotage!!!! Beastie Boys are amazing!!!!
Just so you know, the Beasties were one of 5 ORIGINAL Groups on Def Jam Records, which included:
Run DMC

And PLEASE Find & watch the movie: "Krush Groove". It will help u out a Lot on ur Hip Hop History. And it's a Dope Ass Movie.
rundmc was on profile records and kurtis blow was on mercury
and the beasties were the ones who discovered ll cool j and then got him signed on with def jam.
Actually, nobody cared about "underage" in 1986... they just didn't. So long as you meant high school age and not kindergarten. I had teachers in high school back then who were openly dating my classmates. It was just a different world.
The lyric is, "If I was like guitar thief Jimmy Paige, the girlies I like would be underage." "Shhh. Check it."
@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer "If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page
The girlies I like are underage (shh! Check it!)"
I was in the 6th grade when License To ill came out. I wore that tape out. You can look at their lyrics like a comedian telling jokes. No matter how wild or crazy it is it's just a joke and with the Beasties it's just a rhyme.
love the young guys listening to old school rap. gives you a window to see who all the new guys today are stealing from
THE. OLD. SCHOOL!!! 😎😎😎💯💯💯
3 mc's and 1 dj duuuude!!!!
For the record they were underage when they wrote this. Soooo, not problematic.
No, they were in their early twenties. Regardless, they were talking about Jimmy Page, the guitarist from Led Zeppelin, who was apparently into teenage girls. So they were basically dissing him (even though they sampled them, haha).
I used to listen to this cassette over and over on the bus to school in ‘87.
Opened my eyes.
Jimmy Page, was the guitarist for Led Zeppelin, who supposedly had a thing for under age girls.
Supposedly? Like all the memoirs and documentation? That’s between you and yourself.
Yes many of us definitely knew it was wrong. If not we should ask ourself some real hard questions about our childhood.
This is one of their best. Check out 3 MC’s and 1 DJ.
You guys are heading down the Beastie rabbit hole...enjoy the ride. SO many great jams you need to check out and react to.

Every person who went to high school between the years of 1988 to 1991... knows every word to....
PAUL REVERE
Bestie brings out the authentic you. That was beautiful
It’s with a turntable and a TR 808. That’s why it’s simple. Conceptually it’s brilliant. In fact I’m shocked that no one has jacked and looped the beat at the end. Also rest easy, they were in HS when they wrote this. They’re weren’t Bambatta-ing people.
Glad to hear you added it to your playlist! I was literally wondering if you guys would rock to this today or if you thought it sounded too old/dated.
Alot of the slang was NYC mid 80's Hip Hop slang--so it's very era specfic like "rolled up a Woolie & watched Columbo" A Woolie is weed mixed with coke in either rolling paper or a cigar & Columbo was a tv show
Beastie Boys wayyyy ahead of the game…brilliant lyricists musicians artists & Hip-Hop innovators. I regard them up there with The Beatles….yes that’s correct…The Beatles. ✌🏻❤️

SUCH A DYNAMIC COMPILATION OF BEATS!!!
Got more juice than Picasso got paint. Love this
I was in high school when this came out. I was totally into heavy metal at the time, but this kicked my ass. They were kinda seen as a novelty, three silly early 20-something white boys from New York rapping, but they were more than just a fluke and had musical talent. Obnoxious and over the top...it was great. I still crank "Licensed to Ill" to this day.
i was 17 when this was released, im now 52
Just this one song ……………………. Legendary so much has been inspired from this one song. I don’t think you young guys understand but glad you opened your minds to hearing it
That song sums up my high school years.
I went through so many batteries in my boom box,,Rock on
This was the actual birth of Rockford Fosgate!!!!
Welcome to the World of the Beastie Boys.... incredible production and rhymes and countless unforgettable tracks and incredible albums, worth diving into. Some other songs worth reacting to: "She's Crafty", "Rhymin and Stealin", "Paul Revere" "Hold It Now, Hit It", "Shake Your Rump" "Egg Man" "High Plains Drifter" "Shadrach" "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun", "Car Thief" "B-boy Bouillabaise" "Jimmy James" "Pass the Mic" "Professor Booty" "Sure Shot" "Root Down" "Get It Together ft.

I agree and I'm bringing back the Rick Rubin old school 808s on May 27th!
All Beastie Boys fan club members will appreciate..check me out brotha
One of their best early hits!! Love them‼️🎶🎵🔥🔥🤘🤘
Keep in mind when listening to their lyrics, they were being pretty goofy & silly most of the time. Many of their lyrics are NOT at all meant to be taken seriously.
"Paul Revere"? The beat slaps hard
This was my favorite album from them. Try
hold it now
Posse in effect
Paul revere
Pretty much the whole album
Legendary Song
High plains drifter definitely the most unique song they ever made
Rick Ruben did the production
This is one of the all time greatest hip hop albums in my opinion! Every damn track is a godamn banger!
Take into consideration that this was what 1985-86? There wasn’t no go back and forth to compare it to. They we’re pioneers no doubt. From that point of view this music was from another universe so to speak.
Also when they wrote that they were still teenagers. Like only one of them was even 18.
The song was released in 1986 and they were born on 1964 & 1965, so they were probably between the ages of 20-22 when it was written. They WERE teenagers when they were doing their punk stuff though.
They were so f'ing dope!!!
OMG you guys! Heck YES!! Please please please please react to their video 3mcs and one DJ. I am SAYING!!
Can't go wrong with Beastie Boys. I recommend "shake your rump"
Get It Together by The Beastie Boys is one of my favorites featuring Q-Tip.
Everyone who reacts to this song they hear the part "the girlies I like are underage" but completely miss the part about Jimmy Page. But I love watching these react videos. Seeing the joy they get from listening to what we grew up with.
Esham took the last part of this song and made his own. Called "wish you was down".
Fun fact about the album cover most people miss. By the American flag are the plane ID “3MTA3”, which is “eat me” backwards. 😂
All time favorite song off of License To Ill. That outro is 🔥
I just turned 50 ,so I was around back then when those rap albums were hitting the stores back in the 80s ...I had 2 drawers of rap tapes besides all my rock albums ...What we liked about cassettes is that you could take them with you, in the boom box that would make the blox go boom.. & the bodies spinning on the carboard was lovely ...those daze went zoom ..hi there 😄
I'm with you brotha and we dropping 808s the way we remembered them on
America May 27th. Check me out..all Beastie Boys fan club members are
invited!
I can’t believe I remembered most of the lyrics
Also check out Malcolm McLaren, Buffalo Girls
They play their own instruments.
Oh DAMN!!!
NO ONE DOES THIS SONG! 😎😎😎💯 Props on the REAL shit!
COULD YOU REACT TO INTERGALLACTIC HOT SONG BY THE BEASTIE BOYS THANKS
Jimmy Page played guitar in Led Zepplin. They were known for liking young girls.
"Jimmy James" is one you should hear
That “oh” part at the end is what Travis Scott producer sampled in “Carousel” from Astroworld with Frank
Also, I’m pretty sure that underage girls bar was a diss toward Jimmy Page and has something to do with a pop culture issue from 1980’s
Do Intergalactic, it is funky!!!
Whole album is 🔥
Yo do Beastie Boys 3 MC's and one DJ
Welcome to the eighties
Let's keep in mind they were 17, 18 when they recorded this. 😉
Check out the Beastie Boys Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction you will be blown away
