Over the weekend, as the music world at large became aware that Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys had passed away on Friday, musicians began paying tribute to the pioneering rapper who went by the stage name of MCA. One such artist was Madonna , who added Yauch and his Beastie bandmates as supporting act on The Virgin Tour in 1985. It was a year before their debut LP Licensed To Ill was released, and Madge gave the trio their first taste [...]

photo by Gregory A. Perez For most fans, Adam Yauch 's death came as a surprise. We had known of his diagnosis and treatment for cancer of the preaortic gland and lymph node since the summer of 2009, but updates since then had varied, but mainly positive, ranging from claiming that he had "beat cancer" to "reports... are exaggerated" to "He's doing OK," so to learn that the Beastie Boys ' MCA had died last Friday at the young age of 47 was a hard blow. Far less surprising, though, has been [...]
The outpouring of affectionate tributes to Adam Yauch since the news of the Beastie Boys' death broke has been touching - and also somewhat unprecedented. Everyone seems to have a kind word to say or a fond memory to share about MCA, a man whose quarter-century of artistic progress was matched only by his personal growth during that time. Chappelle's Show co-creator Neal Brennan is no different; he's uploaded an unaired clip of The Beastie Boys performing "The New Style" with an assist from Dave Chappelle back in 2004. The scene was shot for [...]

As most of us in our 30+ years of life we have grown up with The Beastie Boys and same goes with Coldplay. Hear their tribute to the late Adam (MCA) Yauch, which they performed on May 4th, 2012 at the Hollywood Bowl. RIP MCA
Beastie Boys band member Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) hit the net on Sunday night to express his gratitude for the outpouring of support and love following the untimely death of bandmate Adam Yauch: as you can imagine, shit is just fkd up right now. but i wanna say thank you to all our friends and family (which are kinda one in the same) for all the love and support. i’m glad to know that all the love that Yauch has put out into the world [...]

Beastie Boys filmed an unreleased musical performance of "The New Style" for the aborted 3rd season of "Chappelle's Show" in late fall 2004. It was on a boat in the East River, NYC. R.I.P. Adam "MCA" Yauch!!!
Punk-angst with some of the best structured songs to come out of the 80's, Licensed To Ill is what happens when you take a visionary like Rick Rubin (hate him or love him, the man is still a genius) and put him in a room with three kids out of New York who were hungry, talented, and ready to make an artistic change.

Adam "MCA" Yauch (1964-2012) Hey folks, as I'm sure you've heard by now Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away on Friday of last week at the age of 47. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news, 47 is just too damn young, no matter who you are. Though I hadn't been a fervent fan throughout their career, I've enjoyed the Beastie's music and I respect their accomplishments as a band. I certainly remember the dawning of MTV and what a huge impact "Fight For [...]
Neal Brennan, Co-creator Chappelle's Show, released this never before seen performance of the Beastie Boys unreleased musical performance of "The New Style" for the aborted 3rd season of "Chappelle's Show." The performance was recorded on a boat in the East River, NYC in late fall, 2004. It's pretty damn Beastie. Rest in Peace, Adam Yauch VIA

Beastie Boys was always a tricky act for me to follow. On one hand, Licensed to Ill (1986) defined my later high-school experience. It was a massive, band-breaking album, but for Beastie Boys, not quite definitive. Musically, it's primitive, a time-capsule effort that's representative of its era but hardly representative of Beastie Boys. It barely hinted at the sophisticated direction the trio would take with its follow-up, Paul's Boutique (1989), which, more than anything, set the dominant tone of the Brooklynites' discography. Beastie Boys was the first white rap act to go platinum, [...]

“ It feels good to play a little music / Tears running down my face 'cause I love to do it ” Adam Yauch - "Root Down" Beastie Boys - "I Don't Know" Adam Yauch who lost his three year battle with Salivary Gland cancer on Friday (4th May) certainly crammed a lot of life into his all too short 47 years. A Buddist, Tibet freedom campaigner and concert organiser, film distributor, director, magazine [...]

Si tratta di un singolo estratto da Check Your Head , terzo album in studio dei Beastie Boys uscito nel 1992.

As you'll no doubt have heard by now, on Friday 04 May 2012, Adam Yauch - aka MCA - from the Beastie Boys , died after losing his battle against cancer of the parotid salivary gland . He was just 47 years old. To mark this sad occasion, for this week's Sunday Spotify Slaylist we're looking back at the Beastie Boys' early, pre-hip hop punk rock material. While it's true that the Beastie Boys didn't find mainstream success until their game-changing Licensed To Ill , the band never forgot their punk [...]
