Fuck. That's really the only word that comes to mind. It's been reported by TMZ that Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys has died at the age of 48. The cause of death is speculated to be from cancer. In 2009, Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous parotid gland in his throat. He underwent treatment and released a statement in 2011 that he was officially cancer free. However, even after the band released their newest album, Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 , they didn't tour [...]
We have the terrible, heart-breaking news to report that Adam Yauch, aka MCA of the Beastie Boys, has died. He was 47. You might recall that Yauch was diagnosed with throat cancer back in 2009 and later received treatment for the disease. He, of course, went on to finish the latest Beastie Boys album, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 , which was easily one of the best records of 2011 . R.I.P. MCA. Fuck you, cancer. [ via ]
Beastie Boys' Adam 'MCA' Yauch has died, according to TMZ . The Brooklyn native was 47 years old. In July 2009, Yauch revealed he had a cancerous tumor in his left parotid gland and began undergoing radiation therapy. In January 2011, Yauch issued an statement disputing reports that he was cancer free, but said "I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future.” However, he remained out of the public spotlight during last spring's release of the Beastie Boy's latest LP, Hot Sauce Committee, Part Two [...]
Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch will not be in attendance when the group is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later tonight, according to RollingStone.com . An issued press release states, "Beastie Boys regret that Adam 'MCA' Yauch will be unable to join Mike 'Mike D' Diamond and Adam 'Adrock' Horovitz at the band's induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in April. Mike, Adam and Adam are truly grateful for the honor but with only two of the three Beastie Boys attending, they will unfortunately not be able to perform at the [...]
Over 25 years have passed since the release of 'Licence To Ill' and the Beastie Boys still sound as exciting as ever. In today's musical landscape their shared delivery style is almost singular and on 'Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2' the true New York kings are as good as they have ever been. Cougar regular Thom [...]
The Beastie Boys back with another interesting video for the song "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" which features a guest appearance from Santigold. Though, technically nobody is in the actually in the video, which is directed by Spike Jonze. Funny or Die posted a shorter version of the video, but this here [...]
Explicit Director's Cut video for Beastie Boys "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" featuring Santigold. Directed by Spike Jonze. iTunes: Hot Sauce Committee Part Two - Beastie Boys
MCA, Mike D and Ad-Rock are three names that have been in my vocabulary for almost as long as I can remember, and rightfully so. The Beastie Boys have been a staple in Hip Hop for many years reaching fans from all genres with their witty rhymes, unparalleled production and sometimes, as of more recent, politically charged raps. For Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 , their eighth studio release, we find the Beastie Boys coming back to their roots with more party driving cuts than their past couple studio releases. Continue Reading After [...]
In a new interview with the Guardian, the Beastie Boys said that had no plans to tour in support of their newly released album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two . Released last week, the record is the first (non-instrumental) studio album from the band since 2004's To The 5 Boroughs . In the intervening years, they released a instrumental record, The Mix-Up as well as deluxe, remastered reissues Paul's Boutique , Check Your Head , Ill Communication and [...]
Filed under: News Jason Merritt, Getty Images Many people assumed, with the help of misleading reports in the press, that the Beastie Boys ' Adam Yauch (aka MCA) had fully recovered from cancer. After all, in 2009 when he first announced that he had been diagnosed with throat cancer, the group postponed all plans indefinitely, including pulling the then-planned release of 'Hot Sauce Committee Part One.' But periodic updates from the band's camp indicated [...]
After a postponement of their new album, and several concert cancellations, The Beastie Boys have finally released Part 2 of Hot Sauce Committee . We here at B-Sides know how confusing it must be, but Part 1 has been postponed indefinitely. To keep tabs on the MC trio, you can certainly follow them on their YouTubeChannel for more updates on Part 1. This album is well worth the wait. The Beastie Boys are keeping it real with Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 . With [...]
On their latest album, the Beastie Boys still sound like they're at the top of their game-which is fantastic considering their age. There's a kinetic energy between the three of them that's difficult to explain. I know these guys aren't for everybody, but there's something about their collective enthusiasm that's charmed me into loving their music. The rhymes here aren't anything out of the ordinary for the band. This LP is loaded with jokes, obscure references, non-sequiturs, and cunning wordplay. It doesn't have the storytelling I usually love in my hip hop, but this LP is more about [...]
Well it appears that the clean version of this album has leaked on the internet. Beastie Boys sent out a message yesterday saying: Good people, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the "clean" version of our new album, The Hot Sauce Committee pt 2 has leaked. So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with [...]
The Beastie Boys new 30 minute short film 'Fight For Your Right - Revisted', premiered in the States last Thursday and now thankfully, international fans can watch it too. I've been MEGA hyped for this since seeing the trailer a couple of weeks ago. The cast they've managed to assemble for the short is quite simply amazing! With Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and Danny Mcbride playing the young Beastie Boys and Will Ferrel, John C. Reilly and Jack Black starring as the older versions. But that's not all, see if you can spot [...]
Do these guys look familiar? Hint: They're not the real Beastie Boys So those dastardly Beastie Boys are at it again. Directed by Adam Yauch (or MCA), the boys released a new short film/music video called Fight For Your Right Revisited to help promote their upcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 . The film picks up where the Beastie Boys left off in their 1986 music video for Fight For Your Right , but with a few changes in cast. Sorry did I say a few? What I meant [...]
Does it sound as awkward as it arrived? (Short answer: nope)Three weeks ago, the Beastie Boys' "Make Some Noise" single from new album Hot Sauce Committee leaked on the web to overall excitement and
A week or two back, the Beastie Boys released a little teaser for their latest video, 'Fight For Your Right (Revisited)'. But this is no ordinary hip hop video. Clocking in at a touch under half an hour, this mini movie features a who's who of Hollywood (find the old post for a rough list - blogging from an iPhone on a train to the airport isn't something I want to spend much time doing... Thanks for understanding). I've only watched the first few minutes of this, but it looks like a good watch. [...]
Tweet Here's a drinking game idea for you on a Friday night. Groove to the promotional film for the new Beastie Boys single Make Some Noise and pick out all the cameo appearances. Fun times, right? Here's some help. Ad-Rock is Elijah Wood, MCA is Danny McBride and Mike D is Seth Rogen. I get that this vid is a tie-in to the new movie about the Beasties but the casting choices for the B-Boys are beyond woeful. That aside, the video is pretty funny. Enjoy. [...]
