Adam Yauch passed away one year ago today, on May 4th, 2012. Yesterday his family, friends, and former bandmates as well as city officials gathered at a park in Brooklyn Heights in his rememberance. During a ceremony attended by about 250, the park formerly named Palmetto Park was officially renamed Adam Yauch Park. Below, check out videos from the ceremony. The first clip features a speech by Adam Horovitz a/k/a Beastie Boys co-founder Ad-Rock. "It's fitting we're here today to dedicate a playground to Adam Yauch," Ad-Rock told the crowd. "Because like the Wu Tang clan, Beastie Boys is for [...]

We're not entirely unconvinced that Chris Brown 's new video for "Till I Die" isn't a straight-up parody. Instead of trying to convince us he's a sex object by having women fawn all over him (or float above him ), Breezy — with a mouth overflowing with gold teeth and matching bling draped across his chest — steps right into the role of a douchebag, as he introduces himself by tripping a co-worker who obviously didn't need one more thing to go wrong that day. It being 4:20 p.m. and [...]

The influence of Beastie Boys ' Adam Yauch is still coming to light weeks after his untimely death. The latest comes courtesy of French electro rockers M83 's new video, "Reunion", off their impressive 2011 release Hurry Up We're Dreaming . Directed by Fleur & Manu and produced by DIVISION, the clip continues the story begun in the group's last video "Midnight City", which saw a bunch of telekinetic children of the corn levitating and crushing heavy objects Chronicle [...]
Earlier this month, we lost Beastie Boy Adam Yauch , and credit the government of his home state for knowing that they should probably do something to honor the man's legacy. A couple of days ago, State Senator Daniel Squadron drafted a resolution to honor Yauch, and the state Senate adapted it. Below, watch video of Squadron introducing the resolution. Read More...

Since Adam Yauch 's death on May 4 , tributes to both MCA and the Beastie Boys have rolled in , but this may be our favorite. James Winters , a Portland-based filmmaker, created a reenactment of the Boys' Spike Jonze -directed "Sabotage" video , enlisting the help of his wife, kids and nephew in order to pay tribute to MCA. Car chases and jumping off ledges, however silly they were portrayed in the original video, are a bit too dangerous for children, so this remake gets a few changes: high-rise [...]
Like any good Gen-Xer I have been sharing my love for the Beastie Boys with my son. It’s become more focused and poignant with Adam Yauch’s passing and so when I see stuff like this I can’t help but smile and feel good knowing there are other cool-ass kids out there learning about the band. I love this video and you just know MCA would too. Via Kill Rock Stars
James Winters created this ridiculously adorable tribute to recently deceased Beastie Boy, Adam “MCA” Yauch . Winters cajoled his wife, kids and his nephew for the video - one that would probably be a viral hit regardless, but is that much more touching given the recent passing of Yauch. [via blogtown ]
El viernes os contábamos, con tristeza, la noticia sobre Adam Yauch , integrante de los Beasty Boys que nos dejaba a los 47 años de edad víctima de un cáncer con el que había estado luchando durante algún tiempo. Dando la vuelta al mundo, las reacciones de medios y músicos no se hicieron esperar, y eran muchos los que comentaban a través de Twitter y daban su despedida personal a Adam. Las reacciones siguen notándose a día de hoy, y Coldplay, como uno de los grupos más importantes de la actualidad, daba su [...]
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!!!
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

The Beastie Boys formed all the way back in 1979 and for many, their music was an integral part in forming the earliest of hip-hop memories. I distinctly remember borrowing Hello Nasty from a friend during the summer after third grade. I didn't even try asking my parents to get it. I knew what the answer would be. And even before that, "Paul Revere" was the first track I knew all the words to. Coldplay did this cover for the first time when Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer. They did it again last night at [...]
The problem with hearing news while traveling is that you're a bit late to share it. Today it was the kind where one of the first bands you really pissed off your parents with lost a member to cancer. Well dang. As I'm sure many of you have heard by now, Beastie Boys co-founder Adam 'MCA' Yauch has died at the age of 47, after a long battle with cancer . It's harder to write about than it was to hear about it. Perhaps it's the recognition involved when discussing something so somber. MTV, where I first [...]
