If you check their book, beastie boys anthology: sounds of science. If you look at their early photos, not one of their other peers tried to be curious and try rapping? Just Adam H., Adam Y., and Michael D. only?!? Damn. That's baffling. Out of 20, 000 New York City kids in 1980, 81, 82, just three New York city Hebrew kids tried it????
@Khultan possibly true...but the beastie boys were already a band (punk) they just took a gamble and it paid off... but id say it was more down to luc k as well... and someone like russell simmons (def jam) taking a chance. i think pete nice was around at the time... and everlast was picked up by rhyme syndicate in LA around 89.
@slugworth28 You said it quite perfectly. I think it just may be that. Taking a gamble, but , damn, it boggles my mind that they were game for it, you know what I mean and nobody else, I mean, you notice that right? They're the only ones and I still want to know what were those early rap songs they did before a black hip hop audience in New York were? There are videos where it seems they are performing in Latin Quarters in New York but it's a montage within a music video.
its annoying how noone like cheers when mike d says shit but when jam master jay does they go wild sorry for killin the mood guys but it had to be sed x
Big ups to ya, Blightytater, I must have missed this airing. I'm from San Francisco and this would have been on, I think, around 12:00pm on a Friday or Saturday night. You've got the entire clip, maybe? Anyway, Happy New Year and thankz!

Typical racism you'd expect from an Apollo crowd. No cheers due to skin color.... tsk tsk.
