Jay-z was around back when the beastie boys were around.He rapped with Jaz-o and they were know as the Originators.In fact the fast flow they used would later influence the likes of Busta Rhymes Twista Bone thugs crucial conflict and early Eminem.So there you have it Jay-z is Old school.Jaz-o dropped word to the Jaz almost around the same time Beastie Boys dropped License to ill.
Hey @buckfutter1000 the only reason jay opened with this song is because Adam had cancer and the beastie boys weren't able to perform (because they were the original opening show of this concert) so it's out of respect so don't be a hater
niggas is hatin out here huh lol be happy jay payed fuckin tribute fuckin faggots... atleast he opened wit their shit instead of comin out just wit his own songs lol... fuckin herbs
Jay-z didn't do this to show up the beastie boys or anything. They were originally booked for all points west but mc-a was diagnosed with cancer and they had to cancel. He did this as a tribute
if you think about it J is raping parts meant for 3 guys, so don't blame him if it doesnt sound good, or if its too slow, come on give him credit, i thought it was awesome.
There's some stupid comments here, let me clear something up for the ignorant... Beastie Boys were supposed to be at all points west until MCA got the tongue cancer and needed surgury, they pulled out JAY Z STEPPED IN TO HELP OUT, doing an old skool sing along with a crowd that purchased tickets to see the Beasties was the least he could do, he wasn't ripping anyone off. After all, they're not only both new york rap acts, they're both brought to you from the talents of rick rubin.
a great TRIBUTE to the boys......God Bless this cat Jay Z for showing up to do the show. (he has fuck you money) he did it to come through for 3 guys he likes and respects not for a pay day......
you think this nigger needs to play a festival in jersey???
a tribute and a style none can copy....god job all around
Jay-Z is the ultimate entertainer. I'm not really a fan of his music, but I respect his talent. When you hear one of his songs, you know its not like all the crap out there now. And to honor the Beasties is totally cool...
