Beastie Boys - Pass the Mic

[Nightmike1989]

This is most definitely one of their best tracks, their interplay and lyrics have always been astounding, here they proven that and their inventiveness once again.

[ThatEpicAsian]

Fuck off Fred. I don't want to see your stupid face on a Beastie Boys' video...

[toxticosp]

BEASTIE BOYS RULES!!!!!!!!!

[gr8erd]

In 6th grade we had to bring in our favorite song and .present it to the class. This was mine. The teacher didn't let my song finish.

[canariosdelmonte]

thumbs up if Malcolm Gladwell sent you here

[FriedWaffeln]

Irony. Mitt Romney ad on Beastie Boys music video.

[tailgunnerjoe1]

Your mid-song AD really made me want to boycott your asshole sponsor! Thank's VEVO!

[reDbULLtokUSH]

8 people are gay

[RATMfan92]

These guys are so ridiculoysly ill that i can't help but smile! Beastie Boys and Tribe Called Quest all the way! The prime of hip hop.

[reybah]

[JAtothethirdEYERO]

this shit is amazing. it still bangs in 2011 and beyond

[tomasarce123]

ooooooooooo sebado



[400scrider]

i hope my neibors like this song...

[GoochtheG33k]

"Everybody's rapping like it's a commercial. Acting like life is a big commercial. This is what I got to say you all, "BE TRUE TO YOURSELF AND YOU WILL NEVER FALL"!

If only the soul-selling douchbags of the entertainment business/industry would've listened.

[mikeisagodd2012]

he was supposed to recite"acting like life is a big REHEARSAL" during taping,but mike d screwed up and the band left it the way it is.

Know the history before you say its lazy---please

[blockreader43]

Goodness gracious

If you can feel what I'm feeling then it's a musical masterpiece

Hear what I'm dealing with then that's cool at least

What's running through my mind comes through in my walk

True feelings are shown from the way that I talk

And this is me, y'all, I.M.C., y'all

My name is M.C.A. and I still do what I please

And now I'd like to introduce, what's up?

I'll pass the mic to D. for a fist full of truth

[newdantefukinrocks]

i need lyrics for this!!!!



[DenisFreeman2]

can some1 whos not fucking Vevo upload this pls? 

[imran1985iqbal]

the essence of hip hop...

[facecycle]

'Everybody rapping like it's a commercial, acting like life is a big commercial' Love the Beastie Boys, but that is a terrible lyric.

[SonImDisappoint]

@facecycle Don't you get it? They mean every one is doing shit to get attention, to get recognised. Commercials are made to catch your eye, make you pay attention, ergo people be doing shit to get attention all their life.

[facecycle]

@SonImDisappoint I meant in regards to rhyming 'commercial' with 'commercial'. Felt kinda lazy.

[smats42]

why is there a justin beiber ad under all the beastie boys, FNM, primus and wutang videos i watch?

demographics anyone?

[Tabu812]

I'm here because of Malcolm Gladwell's reference to this song in "What the Dog Saw" - boy, do I feel like a nerd.

[shaharm4]

@Tabu812 same reason for me too :)

[dedricthere]

Greatest video ever.

[MasterUnholyWar]

I've always been bummed that this isn't the version they used on the album.

[smats42]

@MasterUnholyWar really? whats different about the album version?

[smats42]

@MasterUnholyWar nevermind i just heard the difference. peace

[Hanstarwalker]

Go to Pass The Mic Down For Life Remix .....

[MG53895]

Ad Rocks rhyme is straight up cold. Brooklyn for life!

[drummking42]

i remember watching their videos on vh1 as a kid, ive always loved their music

[thebrendan03]

I love how MCA sets the tone with his first verse, just kills it. Hell, this might be one of the best Beastie songs of them all.

[SpaceMonkeyHimself]

@thebrendan03 "If you can feel what i'm feeling then it's a musical masterpiece. Hear what I'm dealing with?  Then that's cool, at least." Classic!!

[omicronpersei88]

[conorcify]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!!

[jinxedbunnny13]

@conorcify u r ruining the fine arts

[conorcify]

@jinxedbunnny13 Sorry, I was only commenting on the fact that alot of comments (when I saw the video) were in BLOCK CAPITALS. Absolutely nothing disrespectful was intended to to the video or the beastie boys. On another note, been listening to Paul's boutique all summer...needless to say it's been well spent.

[zythepsarian]

THANKS FOR MAKING THE AUDIO QUIET YOU FUCKI RETARDS, WHAT THE FUCK KINDA COMPANY THAT BUYS UP THE RIGHTS TO A SONG PLAYS THE FUCKER ON QUIET? DEATH TO EMI

[alexskylarking]

@zythepsarian ORLY? DO YOU NOT HAVE A VOLUME SELECTOR?

[zythepsarian]

@alexskylarking YES RLY AND YES I DO, AND YOUR FACE IS GAY AND ALSO PENIS

[alexskylarking]

@zythepsarian GOOD THEN TURN THE SHIT UP AND SHUT UP. THANKS FOR THE GREAT COMPLIMENT, I GUESS YOU KNOW A GAY FACE AND GAY PENIS AS YOU SEE IT EVERYDAY IN YOUR MIRROR.

I SEE FROM YOUR PAGE THAT YOU 'MAKE WOMEN'. WHAT SORT OF WOMEN DO YOU MAKE? IS THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BUCK UGLY THAT NO WOMAN WILL BE WITH YOU? OR ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE GUYS FROM THAT 80s MOVIE 'WEIRD SCIENCE' WHEN THEY ACTUALLY CREATE THIS AMAZING LOOKING WOMAN! WOW! YOU ARE AWESOME, DID YOU DO EXTRA WELL IN CHEMISTRY N PHYSICS

[Augiee31892]

If I was born earlier I would have grow up with these three great MCs. Sounds better than growing up with Eminem...

[400scrider]

how could you dislike this??

[keonewstuff]

Mike D's two commercials threw me for a second but a great Beastie hit.

[Hanstarwalker]

Go to the breaks.com and you can find out wher they go the sample

[Hanstarwalker]

No i was wrong the turtles sample was jimmy james off check your head sorry.

[Hanstarwalker]

To any B Boys fans check out Beastie Boys Pass The Mic Sho Nuff Remix. And the Sample is from The Turtles Black sheep also sampled it on the A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing album. This song is Certified Funk by the Intergalactic Funk Commission. --- Hanstarwalker

[danyl123]

[gzuploc]

@danyl123 This came before The Chronic.

[CRUNKJOOSE2]

fuck the pepsi reffresh project

[localskateboarding]

they have a song that at first goes "the beastie BOOOOOOYYYYSSSSS!!!!!" and I don't know the title. what is it?

[lumby]

@localskateboarding The Biz vs. the Nuge

[premo78]

"Do what I do professionaly....." so simple for haters and dislikers!

[pauliska24]

Love them! But I am afraid, I won't see them live anymore ;-((.

[Tigerlily21]

"a lot of people get jealous. They talk a lot about me but that's just because they haven't got a thing to say" too good. This song still holds up as dope today.

[Static10]

Color scheme is so...green

[WhyIAm7]

Beastie Boys have paid their dues-what other rapper from back in 80's can still have hit after hit after hit??

They know their shit....

[FreetoSessions]

exclusivity about anything ... is just absurd! Vevo

[FallenExpert]

the riff is a bad brains sample, cool

[TheConstellation72]

@FallenExpert

Beastie Boys supported them back in the day

[FallenExpert]

@TheConstellation72 wow, didn't know that. love both

[TheFavoriteShot]

@TheConstellation72 Beastie Boys were inspired by Bad Brains when Beastie Boys were a punk band.

[iheartsomethingXD]

Is that a price tag on MCA's pants?

Not to mention, what a awesome song.

[tcfator13]
