[cheapcape]

@slamberger this song is better

[lockechrisj]

first concert i ever went to. Beastie Boys memorial day weekend 95'

they opened with this track. my first exp of the show a fat dude crowd surfing belting it out.

saw Beasties again 3yrs ago. they still got it

green day and beasties put on the best live shows

[Linkgreed]

(The awsomeness of this song could not be handled by te comment section. Instead, herea a word of advise) I AM MOST ILL AND IM RHYMIN AND STEALIN

[gregs76]

I remember that I bought this album on the day it was released when I was 10 years old. I bought it on cassette at Music Plus in L.A. When my dad found it, he took it away because he didn't want me listening to it. From that moment on, I knew something really good was happening here...

[mickdimas]

Most ill'nest people +0p$#!+

[5burowz]

I have no idea why anyone would mention Beastie and Eminem in the same sentence. They are completely different acts. Beastie is actually a band. They actually know how to play instruments. Eminem is a rapper. That's it. Is Eminem a better lyrical rapper than Beastie generally speaking? Yes. Is his act better overall? Nope. You ever see a Beastie concert live? Will blow you away. The two simply cannot be compared.

[michellesupport89]

Ah the memories. Can this album really be 25 years old. Lord am I old haha.

[NaziJuice]

@michellesupport89 haha don't even talk about that I used to get stoned to this everyday 10 years ago.

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

@michellesupport89 lol im 31 i feel ya

[BeavisNacho]

@michellesupport89 yeah i think this was the 2nd album i bought - on cassette of course, the 80's !! BRING BACK the CASSETTE MEDIUM !!

[TheReturningShadow]

@BeavisNacho Lol, it's funny that I read your comment as I am in the process of going thru about 50 cassettes from the 80s and trying to find songs to download to replace them.

[thrasherface7]

SWEET LEAF!!!!! BLACK FUCKIN' SABBATH!!!

[hardrocktobi]

@thrasherface7 I guess thats why its rhymin and stealin

[thrasherface7]

@hardrocktobi hahaa! yeah.

[donny29dsm]

Ali Bubba & the 40 thieves!

[MyEyeByeHouses]

I remember when I bought this cassette when it first came out..a stereo with a dual cassette deck was high-tech back then, lol.

[LONGAGO215]

did any one else notice there is a white castle reference in almost every song on this album???

[slickmaster44]

.............too good for comments.

"I shot Betty Crocker, Deliver Cornel Sanders down to Davey Jones' locker!"

[PowerWoG]

@slickmaster44 colonel* sanders

[MrGangstagrillz11]

@slickmaster44 HA I WAS GOING TO TYPE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[9678453]

I never heard anybody rip off a drum beat before. It’s not too bad, though.

[091558yew]

those peeps don't know shit.. 3 white boyz put the rap thing on it's ass!

[straight2helll]

Sample anything they whant and never get sued before kid rock sucked his first tit.

[donny29dsm]

@straight2helll I miss the day's when rappers could jack a beat if they wanted to and have no repercussions!

[PinkZeppelin44]

when the levees break-led zeppelin

[cheapcape]

@PinkZeppelin44 who gives a shiz, this version is much better!

[PinkZeppelin44]

@cheapcape no its not

it cant be better if it was stolen from another artist

[woahman57]

@PinkZeppelin44 actually, its "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin.

[chupachug420]

@PinkZepplin44

and sweat leaf by black sabboth

[stuckupcurlyguy]

@PinkZeppelin44 EXACTLY what I was thinking

[RideMyBMW]

"Ali Babba an da fordy teeves" :D

[lizerdspherex]

Sweet Leaf?

[fat8622]

greatest rap group, seriously, so fucking ill, the fusion of rap and rock is just wow

[mzell06]

Thanks for posting. When I was younger and bought this album, this was my favorite song on it for a long time.

[Quarantineism]

One relative of Justin Bieber tried to hit the like button and failed miserably. Damn alcoholism.

[zamora721]

when run dmc first brougth them out these white boys looked retarded(like the fat boys comedy rap)cuz the way they looked but the more u listend to the album ,&watch them on tv &videos,it's like these jews boys r bad .so i'm glad u have the hole album for people to enjoy. their other cd is ok but nothing like thes one

[airguns100]

@zamora721 You're wrong. run dmc didn't bring the beastie boys out they wrote one song called 'slow and low' thats about it. They played punk rock, and still do at special events. google, egg raid on mojo and shit like that from the late 70's to early 80's on Rat Cage Label. After that they were unstoppable and still are.

[zamora721]

@airguns100 thanks 4 the info about the 70's&80's shit i'll google it....my point was just like vanilla ice came out in arsenio hall with flavor flav,ice cube backed up cypress hill,dre spondsor m/m(3rd base got some air play too) at least in the west run dmc intruduce them to us as rap artists......what they were saying was B/B are bad and you're going to enjoyed them too and i did and still do

[ejunkulator]

@zamora721 Rick Rubin is pretty much responsible for making the beastie boys famous.

[zamora721]

@ejunkulator well he was the master mind behind the whole thing ,but he did'nt had what the blacks call street cred.If Russell joint forces with or Rubin joint forces with russell to me that's secondary. All i know is i played the shit out of this record or tape and still do when i go down memory lane

[MrGrimmGoretastic]

the original white rappers. they kick major fucking ass.

[Bjjscorpion]

I like eminem but nobody beats the beastie boys!

[hikeith912]

@Bjjscorpion hell yeah !!! BEASTIE BOYS ALL THE WAY!!!

FUCK THE HATERS.

[MrGenesisHD]

@Bjjscorpion the beastie boys make eminem sound like justin bieber

[DarthMakaveliSithMC]

@Bjjscorpion I Like the Beasties, but there are a lot of rap groups and acts that beat them.

[DrumTVShow]

Great beat/sound!!

[Randeezy72]

eminem tries to be some wigga , like kid rock , vanilla ice and that dick mc, serch , these boys opened the doors for all of them , give props where props r due , fuck wads

[DIME1194]

wordup2yourmother is fucking dumb. he is trying to educate people and he needs to be educated. vanilla ice didnt sample the rolling stones you tard. he sampled queen featuring david bowie (under pressure).

[30hourpunch]

@DIME1194 One thing that seperates the beastie boys from all other white rappers is that they truly loved music, experimenting with music. They were a punk group lonnnnng ago, I even had some of their original punk stuff(unfortunately dubbed over it). They were a good punk band as well.

[pifferelli]

bangin' ass album

led zep stole the song way

before rick rubin used it on

licensed to ill

do the research people!

[autopsy87]

@pifferelli ...zepp didnt steal this song. Zeppelin did their own version like they did alot, but the music and patterns were always original. Bonhams drums were his own... same as the guitar.

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@autopsy87

are you fuckign stupid

zeppelin is liek 20 years older than them

so obviosuly they didnt copy them

but liek 99% of zeppelins songs are copied by old ass blues bands

all of their famous songs werent written by them

[autopsy87]

@igessthsisgrwnup dipshit, read who i was responding too. I never claimed Zeppelin stole this from the Beastie Boys. Im well aware Zeppelin is older than the Beastie Boys, im a huge zeppelin fan. That guy I was responding too said Zeppelin stole the drum beat and i said that was bullshit. Also the only thing Zeppelin ever "stole" were some old blues phrases, which those old blues guys borrowed from each other anyways. Zeppelins MUSIC was always original.

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@autopsy87

ha yeah dude alwayssss original

why dont you ask someone from there time period or prior and see for yourself

[bigfootskitty]

@igessthsisgrwnup Correct! That guitar riff was someone elses, but it was Black Sabbath, sweet leaf. That might shine A little light on some of you,but true to rap's traditions these rappers used A hard core riff from some other bands tune, much the way say, Tone Loc did in cutting rhythms,(three years newer but same general rap era) listen to that one and tell me who all's riffs are in that one!

[igessthsisgrwnup]

@bigfootskitty

yeah wtf all these kids think zeppelin is amazing but they cant hear when its not them haha

sabbath will rape on the led any day

[cheapcape]

@igessthsisgrwnup sabbath blowz

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@cheapcape Sabbath rules.

[52coolkid]

u cant compare the beastie boys to eminem the beastie boys had a more rock n roll sound in the background while they rapped eminem has a typical hip hop sound in the background so stop comparing and listen 2 the music

[Hardrockstorm]

These Album is a ...MUST HAVE...

[mustlike95]

LOL NICOLE THATS WERE YOUR WRONG! the bestie boys kick ass and no one can beat them but them selfs, they sold 3x more albums then eminem ever has lol so your wrong

[x3nicOlex33]

u no what Alex STFU...Eminem is way better (: he still has a career remember? a way better one to this shit is fuckin gay as helll ..

[prilofx]

@x3nicOlex33 Em who?

[RUBBANECKCINEMA]

Classic Beasties, thanks for posting!

[mialaw31]

I'm gonna board your ship and turn it on out

[Case1138]

Never rocked Bizkit, park or KR, they all blow

[wordup2yourmother]

Ya I remember when they passed the law where you couldnt sample anymore. I am not sure but i think it started because vanilla ice almost had the same beat for ice ice baby as the rolling stones song where it is like "under pressure." listen to both songs lol there is just one little difference.

[deathmetalben]

kick it

[flowersrage]

grate song

[TehEasterBunnehh]

@flowersrage ...

*great.

[Reardaddy2]

this beat makes me feel like im gonna knock somebody out

[neiscius]

It's this right here that paved the way for Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit and Linken Park.

Without the Beasties and Run DMC todays music wouldn't be what it is.

[hhhxxxhhh]

Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit and Linken Park

they all suck balls .. the world coulda done without them

[SwampThizzle]

@neiscius Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, and Linkin Park all suck dick. The Beastie Boys rule, but they had a deleterious effect on music by spawning lesser imitators, much like Nirvana did.

[GBallaJ]

@SwampThizzle Hey man Limp Bizkit held it down in the 90s you'd be lying if you didn't bump atleast some of their shit

[SwampThizzle]

@GBallaJ I always thought they were fags. Sorry.

[dredayak18]

zeppelin n black sabbath sampled in rap... very nice... nothing like great rap and great rock n roll. like um both equally.

[Unity678]

i think your all forgettiing that The Clash are sampled in this song, thats the fucking bomb.

[jfvols]

There was no sampling law at that time!! check it!!

[cwl2463]

This music was prophetic on the level that is is consistent with the alternative movement of the nineties.

[danthman44444]

at least they like led zeppelin enough to have a song using the beat

[rockophiliac]

they also did another one, She's crafty, and Another.. Forgot the name.

[Achilles32094]

The surviving members of Led Zeppelin did take legal action agains this song. I'm not sure what kind of action but it did happen.

[kingtome11]

Stolen drums? Those are called SAMPLED drums. The fact they sampled it means they had to pay royalties to Led Zeppelin. (Record companies give permission to do this ALL THE TIME). I've researched this already, have you? You're just talking to get a reaction from the morons who threaten you. Fact is, you can't prove what you're saying.

[maineiacial]

@kingtome11 dude ur a freakin idiot.....first of all, not only was there no sampling laws for this album, they also sampled like every song ever made for Pauls Boutique

now because ur 11 years old and wernt alive then ill forgive for this.......but dont let it happen agian, k

[Hogos4life81]

awesome song, awesome beat. theyre so underrated. theres gonna be alot of young comments about this cuz it was before gangsta rap, vanilla ice, eminem and the crap out now, they just werent around at the time , they just wont get it.

[Achilles32094]

lol. they got sued over this song for taking the drums from Zeppelin. these guys suck!

[Snizz19]

do u wanna get stabbed?

[Achilles32094]

I find your empty threats amusing

[Snizz19]

what an amazing comeback did it take you a minute to think of those complex words

[Achilles32094]

Are you being funny purposely?

[1mcnabb1]

@Snizz19 u bitch

[kingtome11]

Ummm no they didn't.  Nice try though.

[Achilles32094]

Yeah, there was definetly some legal action involved due to the stolen drums from When the Levee Breaks.

[Achilles32094]

Dude, Led will never die and what's with all the violent threats that will never happen because you don't know me? Lol at you! Hip-Hop=sorriest excuse for music of all time

[rockophiliac]

True, Defining an entire genre of music is just Stupid. There's good hip hop and bad hip hop, don't say it's a sorry excuse of music just cause you don't like it, if that's what it's all about, then you're a sorry excuse for a human being cause NO ONE here likes you.

[kaylavsherself]

first tape I ever bought. Grade 3 1986

[donny29dsm]

@kaylavsherself I stole this tape from a pharmacy/strip mall along with eazy e and a lot of 80's and 90's rap!

[germansentry]

i loooveee the beastie boys! especaly this song

[ctown614]

Been bumpin this shit since 4th grade.

[steinmeleon]

Sickest Song i have heard in my life.....They are truly licensed to be Ill !!!

[drfunkenstein52]

zeppelin and sabbath samples in one song? beasties remain the mastas

[dredayak18]

6 months later i say the same comment lol we think alike.

[enviops]

In 86, these white boys locked the hood down better than Eminem ever could.

This album was so damn live.

[x3nicOlex33]

this is fucked up no see thats were ya wrong Eminem did way better on his music than this bs music....and "them white boys did not lock down the hood" thank you..

[enviops]

@x3nicOlex33 Sorry, kid. I'm just speaking the truth. I love Em. He's in my top 5 all time. But me and all my brothers and sisters knew License to Ill damn near word for word. I can't say that about any Eminem albums. The Beastie Boys had the whole hood looking for Brass Monkey...

[gimmethatgusha]

@enviops that is like so true .. no one even knos beasties aanymore !! the only reason ppl like eminem these days is because of the hype

[donny29dsm]

@enviops That was then.They couldn't touch Em from 99 to 2003!

[enviops]

@donny29dsm Look, man. For the last time, I'm saying black people embraced "License to Ill" more than any Eminem album. It's the truth.

[donny29dsm]

@enviops Look, man.For the last time,I'm saying that's your opinion.Eminem has WAY MORE black fans than the goofy ass Beastie Boys ever will have. Back in the day they were good,but they can't hold a candle to the skills Em possesses .The Beastie Boys rapped about beer and girls.It was good for the times though.Eminem rapped about drugs and partying but he also wrote deep songs too

that's the difference between the two,pure talent when it comes down to lyrics and the delivery of those lyrics

[enviops]

@donny29dsm Believe what you want. I'm from Deroit. Em is in my top five, man. But the block embraced License to Ill as close to universal as I can imagine it. We knew this album backward and forward. If dude came out in 86 maybe that would have been his spot.

[donny29dsm]

@enviops IDK man maybe your right,but that was that generation. Em has this one on lock!

[11bbc20]

@donny29dsm Fuck Pussy Ass Eminen that muthafucka doesn't even stand behind his own homophobic veiws, how that fake ass bitch talk that shit about gays and then let sissy ass elton john make him recant! elton john way harder then eminem pussy ass thats why! he probably ran all types of dick through him. How theyfuck you pull a gun on someone without bullets had that been a real street figure! Why does Eminem only target ppl he know want get at his ass! Will Smith made his ass shut up quick!

[WannaBeCripple]

FIRST :O lol nah nah its a good vid
