beastie boys - She's Crafty - Licensed To Ill

[x3peterpan]

OMG THE PICk-UP ARTIST

haha The Pick-Up Artist brought me here.

Ad Rock/Adam Horovitz, Molly Ringwald's bf at that time (1987)

^ The Beastie Boys did this song for the soundtrack of the movie

cool :--)

[tabutu1]

I used the line " Let's kick some bass behind closed doors " to a girl & it worked.

[diapermanful]

@tabutu1 Did you start to play records and she knew all the grooves??

[sharonfromtanana]

oh ... this is my FAVORITE SONG!!!

[sharonfromtanana]

FREE THE FAIRBANKS FOUR!!! I'm Sharon Tan, a sister of a wrongfully accused man!

[KickGom]

10 people are not crafty

[Jrandolph1976]

Comparing Eminem to Beastie Boys is Apples and Oranges... Two totally different styles... and I disagree that the credit all goes to Jimmy Page, or that The Ocean had anything to do with this song... Some if the best artists have sampled tracks from various artists, has nothing to do with the origin of the tracks, just a hook that sounds great with a different beat...

[Darkblossomxx]

@Jrandolph1976 eminem sucks though....so

[DCow000]

I'm glad I heard "The Ocean" before this, so my view of that song wasn't affected by this. Not bad, just sayin'.

[The2monkeynuts]

I am 1 crafty beotch....heehee

[genalafrombois76]

my favorite...but they all are

[asamichristian]

dumb asses comparing Beastie to Em! Two different BEAST! Can any one of the beastie compete in the freestyle Olympics ???? And I know Em doesn't have the style and funk of the beasties (that every one loves including me) Totally different Artist. Try compare Lil Wayne and B.G.! both hotboys 1 richer than the other and 1 got more hood respect????

[tuckerstuffntube]

Nobody will ever be able to touch their style. Pure genius, simple.

[hydromorph1965]

BTW. We didn't know WHAT to call this type of music at the time! Epecially us farm young 'ns back then! We just thought it was something to do with blacks!!!...???

[hydromorph1965]

I'm 46, and have jammed out on this since 1988, along with a lot of alternative stuff. I used to drive to work in the mornings listening to a bad assed college station, WOXY 97 X , that had all kinds of great stuff! And, yea, it is the same station that the movie "Rainman" referrenced to. I live less than an a half hour away from Oxford, OH! WOXY is defunct now, and was torn down a lot of years age...... Sadly.... Tks!

[Rohbil4]

we got in the cab and the cab driver said he recognized my girlie from the back of her head... you just dont here lines like this anymore... mmust have been a riot sitting around thinking up these songs...

[beast28274]

I'm probably the only one here who like's both Em and da BBs.

[Beatlelover7]

This song is so cool. Its not like modern rap and i really like it. Its so raw and its cool with the guitar and a freaking cow bell!!!!! Thats so cool!

[40Willum]

I am 40, I love the Beastie Boys & Eminem is cool too! I cannot stand Kanyae West he is a whinny ass duchebag!!!!

[farkle1231]

Eminem aint got shit on this

[djompinthefire]

Damn, he can't play the whole Audioslave's Cochise riff! :-)

Most of the Credit must go to jimmy page of zeppelin who wrote that riff for the ocean!

[DefendedHomestand]

@dunvert That Riff was actually from some where else before page wrote it. He just made it popular.

[Drunkbuddha4]

@thatimprovnerd I used to think that until about a week or two ago. Let me guess? You listen to them only once in a while and have not actually sat down and listened to an entire album? Because that's what I did and I sat through their entire Paul's boutique album and it blew me away. Give em more of a chance. If you still don't like them that's your business

[bennettpoirier]

@thatimprovnerd i would like to say that you are totally wrong, the beastie boys are fuckin amazing, i can say that there amazing and im only 17 so they wouldnt be in my glory days, i still think there better than alot of gay ass music out there these days so shut your fuckin mouth cuz noone gives a shit how many instruments you can play and further more who the fuck plays a recorder?

[1steve97gapinski5]

This one's for ALL the LADDIESZ out THERE everywhat'sThat.N.O.W.?

[ECKONOMIX]

kerry king played on no sleep

[backwoodsninja]

@thatimprovnerd Well, in that case, go make some amazing music. We're all waiting for your album to drop.

[backwoodsninja]

@thatimprovnerd because you have no ear for good music, apparently.

[sagittariuswayz913]

whatever happened to making beats on a turntable and looping a riff.......rick rubin is a Mad Scientist.......Jam master jay was fucking amazing too

[GrooveMetalDude]

Kerry King played....no??

[diperrimax]

love these guys

[Onlymusical]

Their masterpiece, super-powered by the ultimate rock genius of Led Zeppelin. 

[Onlymusical]

Their masterpiece. 

[sporterjackson99]

These boys had the black community jammin this hard back when that was not the norm. Every song is perfect. Gamechangers.

[beatlesfilms]

i like the ocean riff they used by led zeppelin

[mr5exywolf]

I had a girlfriend that was crafty and i kicked her to the curb. She got hit by a city bus. ;- {

[Chizzluvskeleton]

Guitar parts remind me of "The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin."

[LedWhisky69]

@Chizzluvskeleton Gee, I wonder why? Maybe it's because they sampled the track, huh? LOL! Comeon, dude. This is common knowledge.

[jebby16]

@Chizzluvskeleton That's why I like this song. :o)

[Nasisonu]

any dickhead who clicked thumbs down for this track needs a lobotomy.

[fortheloveoftunes]

Columbia Records fastest-selling debut record to date!

[smithraymond09029]

1986

[harold3456]

They used to have a video that was them peforming this live, does anyone know what happened to it? It was definitely one of the coolest on-stage shows I've ever seen on Youtube.

[dktide91]

at about 2:50, they say "aah yeah" but I could have sworn on my original LP in 1986 that the "aah yeah" was sampled from Run-DMC's Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse). Does anyone else remember what I am talking about? I was wondering if so, then maybe they changed it during their lawsuits related to sampling.

[redwindrlz]

They are KICKASS! How dare people dislike this? I bet that they're just jealous that they don't have this much skill...

[megaled1020]

LED IS THE GREATEST ARTIST EVER

[Hermunkle]

I NEED MORE COWBELL

[RetroVGamer]

love the cowbell!

[ConHayes71]

theres a zeppelin riff hahahah nice!

[jhnevans751]

i been seeing this book around, its the dopest, they got hold of the best dudes from hiphop and got them all to drop science for it,

its the boook out called-- [HOW -TO..RAP]

[bunbugkpimpc]

6 pe0ple have gotten there stuff stolen from that one night stand.

[SKOTP69]

Taking from The Ocean of course, one of the most supremely funky rockin' grooves ever!

[hopy921]

ima fan of eminem and the beasties but with ems new shit makes me like like the beasties better... 1 or 2 good song in an album isnt good enough. Almost all the beasties songs are sick

[drfunk911]

Beastie Boy music has the same effect at a party as a Revenge of the Nerds wonder joint :)

Off the hook...

[HoppoLOL]

"I don't dance unless I'm totally wasted" Carl ATHF

[mickkey7]

Eminem will never capture the raw shit that was the Beastie Boys.........

[IveGotTheNuts]

@mickkey7 I really do not think there will ever be anothe BEASTIE boys. Seriously twenty years ahead of their time. If any of their albums was released today , those albums would most likel;y be the best Tracks out there. IMHO Kinda like Black Sabath paranoid. Twenty years ahead of its time.

[harold3456]

@IveGotTheNuts I'm not sure, Beasties are more hip hop than rap. If they came out now, they'd probably be at a level with people like Down With Webster. Everyone these days is more interested in gangster rap or pop music.

[NoahAndrewnMichael]

@mickkey7 Eminem is still sick though!

[zchmrrs]

@mickkey7 *that is the beastie boys!*

[Da13kS3c]

@mickkey7 I agree but don't hate on Eminem. Hate on someone who deserves it. Like Lil Wayne.

[spyroandcynderrock75]

The Ocean

[CARLLOS223]

GOOD

[jamesjulian10]

all the hard core eminem fans have arrived

[BlueGama600]

This is the song that got Eminem interested in hip hop.

[scottelambertz]

Anywhere on YouTube that they spell ill with a capital "i" looks like a roman numeral 3. Licensed to Ill .... Licensed to Three?

[fudsh]

[HandofDoom01]

[fenderfunk]

I want my band to play this live. There's gotta be a way to make it happen. But what drummer wants to learn a drum machine part?

[goody13]

[bubs7569]

wheres that guitar from?

[Hellsbells1993]

@bubs7569

It's sampled from The Ocean by Led Zeppelin.

[beastieblake44]

beastie boys may be old by they still now how to partyvunlike any other rappers out there

[Takh1121]

4 people have no craftyness.... :-\

[ajricks]

um, yeaaaa ... still as good now as it was then ...

[disconnect4]

[chunks132]

@disconnect4 probably like you haha. you get around with dudes.

[madwilliamflint]

Confession: When I was a kid I couldn't figure out why the Beastie Boys were so interested in girls that couldn't hear.

[ohmuhstars]

@madwilliamflint you just made my life.

[ForceRecon198]

@madwilliamflint Hahaha. Never heard that before, but I get it. :)

[PlainassJoe]

@madwilliamflint That's obvious, but they make totally different music.

[wrestlingmaniac5568]

gep001 is retarded cause beastie boys rock

[jimjimijanisbriannme]

@GPE001 dont get me wrong..i listen to almost all music..i play music with multiple bands and a variety of genres and i study classical(not cause i wanna be like metal shredding though) i love jazz and flamenco..and the beastie boys...just cause you think theyre childish doesnt mean they are..people need a stress reliever and apparently you dont have that cause you feel the need to be an ass online...so get over yourself prick

[bigfootskitty]

@GPE001 Look who's talking! You misspelled Freak. That's what, third grade English! In case you didn't know this recording was released in 1986. that's twenty-four years ago. Maybe their fans were chewing gum then, but by now They'd be having A mid-life crisis! good try at bagging on somebody though, Maybe when you grow some pubes!..........P.S Pro Wrestling, IS FAKE!!! well, It's as real as Ballet is spontaneous.

[balton777]

@GPE001 Then why are you here?

[kiribula]

@GPE001 Stick to Saga lol

[shootforlife]

@GPE001 fuck you faggot, beastie boys are amazing, you're just an uncle fucker puss justin beiber wannabe hick fucking cunt fag asshole, bitch dick slut hiv fucker. same goes to the rest of you faggots that dislike the beastie boys. fags.

[DasBeda]

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

We got into the cab, the cab driver said he recognized my girly from the back of her head! LOL

[TheSensei60]

The first time I have ever heard anyone use a Led Zepplein riff in a rap song. They were and still are different but very musically talented. They toured with Public Enemy and headlined for them in the mid 80's. Loved the early days of Def Jam records with Run DMC,The Beasties,Public Enemy and LL Cool J.
