Beastie Boys-I'm Down-unreleased 86 not on Licensed to ill

[kanelitwiniec]

This song must have been recorded during the "Licensed To Ill" sessions.

[gdwhat]

Awwwwwwwwwshit. So working this into my next DJ set.

[darthsater24]

they really made this song theirs

[Keithmoon99]

Michael Jackson owned the Beatles

Publishing & the ability to license the sample needed for "I'm Down". MJ denied Def Jam the license since Hip Hop wasn't as respected in '86.

[joed424]

Why weren't they allowed the beatles for this song but they were for the sounds of science?

[Lloydgo]

MCA's voice is so fucking cool

[LASVEGASGHETTO]

whats the name of the beastie boys song in the movie pump up the volume?

[r0btheher0]

@LASVEGASGHETTO The song is called Scenario and it was also meant to be on License to Ill

[LASVEGASGHETTO]

@r0btheher0 ok. cool.

[TomFromJersey]

What Beatles song do they sample?

And what's the other unreleased LTI song?

Thanks

[Kridane]

@TomFromJersey The song is I'm down by the beatles, if you hear the part where it says "How can you laugh" thats ripped straight from the beatles record.

[hansks125]

i'm not down

[coldpopcarl]

Like BONGHITT says There was a Few different CDS floatin around of the Demos for this LISCENESED To ILL ~~~ I had them in 1988 on Tape & heard NO SLEEP TILL Brooklyn in 1986 different Version 

[coldpopcarl]

THe original Demos for Licensed to ILL ARE the SHIT

[kanelitwiniec]

You can hear the spirit of "Licensed to Ill" on this track. I guarantee, if it was ever released it would be a hit, 20+ years after the fact.

The funny thing is, I didn't know this track existed, or the The Bratles track existed, and I consider myself a Beastie Boys fanatic. I like coming across jems like these.

I love it!!!!

[oldschoolhunter]

we use to play this very song riding down the strip of a small town in west virginia and this was all you could hear for miles!!! 1987 summer of

[Khultan]

@oldschoolhunter How could you have played this song when it was never released, and no, you couldn't have had a bootleg. Sorry, I think you'e a liar.

[bonghitt]

@Khultan hey theres this beasties album called original ill ,its lisensed to ill but with a couple of diff tracks an a diff version of fight for youre right..this tracks on it so he mightve heard it on that album huh??

[Khultan]

@bonghitt Hey, I'm fair, it's possible.

[bonghitt]

@Khultan good job you agreed cos i keep a loaded pistol inside my paaants....and im fully down.

[kiribula]

@oldschoolhunter Sounds good lol

[nickleporno]

fuckin love this song

[nickleporno]

TALK ABOUT A MASTERPEICE LOL

[Stampit88]

Old school Beastie boys were the best. They still rule!

[mikeless77]

One of the first things I remember when I first listen to the beastie boys was, how awesome The king adrock's voice sounded. It's was so funny and badass. That was during the license to ill era though. I want this song!

[TheGlennb]

does anybody know how to get a copy or download of original ill ?????

[bonghitt]

@TheGlennb did ya get a copy mate,ive got a copy 

[bonghitt]

im crackhouse down

[superAJ71]

Oh, well, that's what I heard was the reason why the release was blocked. It did get played on college radio a few times back in its day, here in NYC anyway, so it must've made it at least to the b-side of a promo 12" (probably The New Style).

[superAJ71]

Poor Michael Jackson's dead. Now maybe this track can be officially released!

[paranoidpfanclub]

i don't think he owned the rights to the Beatles catalogue anymore! R.I.P Michael!

[msnikish1]

he means this is from a Beatles song , this is sampled from their song "i'm Down"

[tigerwoodsondxm]

@superAJ71 your a f'n idiot

[bunnygal079]

this kinda sounds like that Fat Boys surf song lol

[slugworth28]

narr i wouldve been good piece to add to LTI album.. last song on side b it sounds like a fun song to end a paarty..

[mildseven2006]

The Beastie Boys did get the rights to sample the Beatles on Paul's Boutique. I think they're the only people to ever get permission to sample the Beatles. I read somewhere that they knew Yoko Ono and she used her pull to get them permission. But they were already well known at the time, so I guess it was easier than at the time of LTI.

[PattttttoBlackmorexD]

holy shit xd

[aidansomebody]

this is a beatles song!

im a fucking nerd

[666Andy666]

where can i download this?

[bonghitt]

hey 66andy666 message me and il email you this track if you like..its off the album original ill which is a diff version of liscensed to ill.

[rup43]

Yo could you send me this or these song(s) as well? Feels like the first time I heard licensed to ill!

[bonghitt]

yeh,no worries rup,send me ure email addy or ad me to msn and il send em

[justjoe9074]

Ok song, but would not have "fit" on Licensed to Ill. Style was too different.

[SouthOx]

really? I can picture this on LTI

[svahaid]

jeh boy wear corduroy

[leocadia00]

Thank you!!!!

[krakkajackson]

Jesus....How do people find these joints? I'm a massive Beastie Boys fan for 20 years now and haven't been able to find this. Thank you man. Seriously. And thank god for youtube!!!!
