Dolan "King Bee " (preview video above) was an obvious first single from the eagerly awaited " House of Bee's Vol.2 " mixtape.

The Go-Go band, Trouble Funk, filed a lawsuit against the Beastie Boys for copyright infringement the day before Yauch's passing.It takes a cold-hearted bastard to continue suing a dead man, his grieving band mates and former label over a few samples from albums made in 1985 and '89. TufAmerica, the firm representing Trouble Funk, alleges

This just in: DJ Hurricane , who worked with the Beastie Boys from 1986-2000, has released a statement regarding the death of Adam "MCA" Yauch (pictured above). Here is the full statement from the NYC-bred jock: As I mourn my friend, Adam Yauch aka MCA, I send my heartfelt condolences to his wife, daughter and loving parents.

Los muchachos de Beastie Boys están atravesando por un momento complicado. Es obvio que después del fallecimiento de Adam Yauch, la agrupación pasaría por situaciones difíciles, pero la demanda que recién le cayó a la agrupación no está facilitando en nada las cosas. Resulta que el 3 de mayo pasado (un día antes del fallecimiento de Yauch), la disquera Tuf America demandó a los Beastie Boys por violación de derechos de autor. Según la disquera, los temas de Beastie Boys “Hold It Now Hit It”, “The New Style” [...]

The day before Adam Yauch died, Tuf America had served papers on the Beastie Boys . That's a little awkward, isn't it? The label's attorney, Kelly Talcott, has now addressed the "unfortunate" timing of the legal filing, and sent her condolences to Yauch's loved ones on behalf of the music bosses. Talcott tells E! News, "I was very sorry to hear of Adam Yauch's untimely passing, and can assure you that the unfortunate timing of the filing of TufAmerica's complaint had nothing to do with his health. On behalf of myself and TufAmerica, I offer our condolences [...]

Filed under: News Jason Merritt/Getty Images Timing, as the expression goes, is everything. And sometimes, timing can be inadvertently terrible, like lawsuit leveled against the Beastie Boys that's rubbing salt on the still-fresh wound of Adam Yauch's passing. On May 3, one day before Adam 'MCA' Yauch died following a three-year cancer battle, record label Tuf America hit the Beasties with a l awsuit for copyright infringement over their two most [...]

In what has to be one of the worst-timed legal actions ever (not that there's ever a good time to get sued, mind you), hip hop/R&B record label Tuf America filed a lawsuit against Beastie Boys last Thursday — one day before band member Adam Yauch lost his life to cancer —  in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit claims that two songs by the label's artist Trouble Funk were illegally sampled on four Beastie songs from 1986 album [...]

I'd like to say tomorrow that today the subject was roses, but once again, it's death. Today's sub-topic: Does it really come in threes? I'm not talking about famous people dying in groups of three. I've never seen any consistent, compelling evidence to support this theory/urban myth. I'm talking about threesomes. What is it about them? If one is the loneliest number and two's company, is three totally unlucky? Consider musical trios, like Beastie Boys. Too often, it seems, one member gets taken from us way to soon. The latest example of the law [...]

There's not many words that I can write that will do justice to Adam 'MCA' Yauch, one third of the Beastie Boys, who lost his fight with cancer this past weekend. Many have penned moving tributes to the impact that Yauch had in his chosen fields of music, his lesser known talent for film making , and his humanitarian efforts. Others have shown their love through small actions, with Yauch's home town sporting teams the New York Mets and New York Knicks giving respect where it's due. [...]

Durante el 2004, los Beastie Boys  grabaron una presentación para la tercera temporada de Chappelle’s Show , donde a bordo de un bote, interpretaron el tema “New Style” .

Before my very first Homecoming Dance in 1999, two seniors at my school were killed in a car accident. I didn't know these kids at all, which made the grieving process a strange one. I remember how the din of the school's hallways was hushed the next day, I remember seeing friends huddled in in clumps outside the school crying or praying or both, and I remember being driven out to the country, out to the spot of the accident where a makeshift memorial had taken shape. Around the fateful tree lay bouquets of flowers, stuffed animals, some hand-written notes, [...]
