What’s left to say about The Beastie Boys? The three Brooklynites were pioneers of Hip-Hop, dropping their genre-shaking Licensed to Ill the same year Larry Bird’s Celtics won their second [...] The post The Primer: 11 Beastie Boys Songs Everyone Should Know appeared first on The Smoking Section .

By the release of the Beasties Boys' fourth album ‘Ill Communication’ in 1994, the trio of Ad-Rock, Mike D and MCA had been together for over a decade. As a commercial force they had progressed significantly since that formation as a ragged thrash punk group. The early days of the Beastie Boys were characterised by controversy and mainstream success on an impossibly grand scale, with their 1987 debut ‘Licensed To Ill’. The trio thrived on baiting the press and their critics, while they had the time of their lives. They were the enfant terrible’s of rap's [...]

Today we're celebrating Spike Jonze who broke the rules when it came to music videos, became the most sought after visionary director during the 902s, and helped make MTV a global phenomenon. As an example, he directed Fatboy Slim's 'Praise You' video with a reported budget of $800 back in 1998 and it went on to win multiple awards for it's unique guerrilla approach - so it was only a year later that Jonze was appointed by Fatboy again, yet with a new budget which allowed him to hire Christopher Walken and fly him through a hotel lobby [...]

Now that we've come to grips with the fact that we live in a world where a Beastie Boy died of cancer, it's time to move on in celebration. As with any celebrity death, the bright side of MCA's passing ... Continue reading �

Haciendo un homenaje a la reciente muerte de Adam Yauch, el cineasta James Winters recreó el video " Sabotage " de Beastie Boys , originalmente filmado por Spike Jonze. Completamente safe for work (no como el video original), esta versión seguro les saca una sonrisa. Y la versión original:

Most of you I'd believe at this point have heard of the untimely passing of Adam Yauch aka MCA who made up 1/3 of the Beastie Boys , this past weekend. It really came as a surprise even though the emcee has been battling cancer since 2009, and it really took a couple days to sink in. The reason it seemed to hit me more was because the Beastie Boys are what got me into hip hop music, as I'm sure plenty of others out there. The Beasties are no more, [...]

"If you knock me, you'll get mocked / I'll stir fry you in my wok / Your knees will start shaking and your fingers pop / Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock" goes one of the more memorable couplets on the Beastie Boys' 1997 hit 'Intergalactic'. It may not be one of Adam Yauch's best (and it certainly isn't one of his worst), but it's a classic example of the playful braggadocio he – under his MCA moniker - and the group excelled in from their formative years in the early '80s through [...]

MCA had nothing to prove   Adam Yauch always seemed like the coolest guy in the room. He did not resemble a hip hop icon. He was the punk rocker in the Beastie Boys' early days, a billy goat bearded snowboarder in the late eighties/early nineties, a Buddhist and social activist for the remainder of his career, and then a middle-aged hip hop godfather who left before the curtain dropped. Yauch and his mates, Mike Diamond and Adam Horowitz, could have packed [...]

• The Beastie Boys (feat. Nas) - Too Many Rappers

If you don’t connect with the Beastie Boy’s albums, you fall under one of two categories: 1. You are one of those people who proclaims loudly that you are in search of “high art,” while secretly you crank the volume when “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” comes on the radio. 2. You have no sense of rhythm whatsoever and words such as “inappropriate” escape your mouth on a regular basis. The Beastie’s music doesn’t need to sacrifice fun to make art and doesn’t need to sacrifice art to make fun. Now that this seemingly lighthearted, simple notion comes [...]

Today is one of those days. Adam Yauch , better known as MCA from the Beastie Boys , has passed away after losing the battle with cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2009. Fuck. This is one of those celebrity deaths that really hits close [...]
