Krush Groove: Beastie Boys

Krush Groove (1985) - The Beastie Boys play themselves performing "She's On It" in a record contract contest at the Bronx's legendary Disco Fever. In a film otherwise packed with lengthy and flattering showcases of Def Jam artists, the Boys get the shortest shrift here, performing just one line apiece to a booing crowd. Of course one year later they'd release Licensed to Ill and the rest is history -- but one could say this clip remains indicative of their doomed relationship with Def Jam.
