@DopeDethrone this comment is wayyyy off on both points...both jerry lee louis and the BBoyz were much more controvercial then RUN or Lil Richard if anything they're the white-wash versions of the Beastie boyz and Jerry Lee Louis
lets not forget the beastie boys were the first to have a platnum single with brass monkey. also they never acted black, they were typical white guys who happened to be great rappers. Also chuck d from public enemy said publicly at an honor ceremony for them that the beastie boys put them on.
@DopeDethrone The Beastie Boys dropped ''Licensed to Ill'' in 86, the Beasties sell a shit load of albums, hip-hop heads say they are not hip-hop, the music press calls them a ''one trick poney'' . They wanted to prove them wrong so in 89 they dropped ''Paul's Boutique'' shit sales, hip-hop heads love the album, the music press loves the album. The Beastie Boys have tons of respect from the hip-hop community. Even Chuck D says that ''Paul's Boutique'' is great.
@DopeDethrone interesting question. but just cos you're white doesn't mean your a safe version of a black artist. Jerry lee lewis was fuckin wild. i put the beasties in that last golden age of hip hop in the late 80s/ early 90s period with their paul's boutique, check your head & ill communication albums. for me, the b boys in that period along with de la soul, a tribe called quest and public ememy formed a high watermark for hip hop.
@DopeDethrone The Beastie Boys seemed to have this huge rep from Licensed to Ill that they've had a hard time shaking. Their new video I fear may not help things much.. I was hoping for something a little more Modern/Mature Beastie Boys, and not something to remind people of what they, themselves have been trying to distance themselves from for all these years. Although, I will say, the Fight For Your Right - Revisited video is hilarious!
@siamesepuppy I don't think there should be much debate as to where the Beastie Boys lie in hip hop history. Anyone who is well versed in hip hop knowledge as well as music knowledge in general would have a hard time arguing against Paul's Boutique being one of the greatest of all time. It's a landmark of sampling and creativity, and most people would agree that it elevated the Beastie Boys as one of the greatest Hip Hop groups of all time. Seriously classic fucking album
@DopeDethrone Nice observation, but I don't think it was an orchestrated switch. I think it was just the time, things seemed to fall into place. "Fight For Your Right" to me, wasn't really promoted I don't think as a hip-hop song. But it got people to buy the album. To this day, my local "Rock" stations play 3, and ONLY 3 Beastie Boys songs. FFYR, Brass Monkey, and Girls. They ignore any other "Rock" songs the Beastie's have done, like they only made ONE album. It's funny...
@DopeDethrone Wow, that's a deep question. Grew up listening to a small amount of hip-hop Beastie Boys and Run-Dmc. My background is mostly Punk, Hardcore, Industrial, Goth, and various 80's music. I've actually thought about what you've asked before but personally I'm not sure how they'll go down in history. For me, they're the best all around band, hardcore at times, and pure hip-hop at other times. No gangsta' B.S. no picking sides, just straight up good music. And FUN!!
Listen up youngster - I'm here to help you. Stop failing. Go out back and flog yourself. 1000 lashes should just about do it. Don't worry. We'll wait for you. When you're done with that go and take your ass to your local media outlet, or the wikipedia or the google and locate the information that you seek. I know that CD's (compact discs) are pretty stone age nowadays, but they are full of these things called liner notes. No can kindle, but if you can read, you're halfway there.
Adam (Ad-Rock) looks so tired in this interview. Must be early in the morning. And poor MCA even with a wisdom tooth pulled he managed to rap lol. ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! love them.
They're all fucked.
