Interesting...informative...I've never listened to any album he talks about but the guy knows his shit....thanks for the clip...wouldn't have stumbled on it on my own
 
My little brother got out of the navy and tried to get me to appreciate them....I have an aversion to music sampling in general...old school guy. Not my thing but I've heard their songs in clubs....I wasn't a fan of punk music either and I have done sound for the Dead Kennedys and some other punk bands of the time when I ran the stage board at a club I gigged at part time. Not my cup of tea. Sampled music to me is like posting someone else's articles to express yourself and drum machines put a lot of real drummers out of work...Hawaiian musicians on the Big Island used to be in all the bars singing and playing ukes....for free...now every bar has a karaoke machine and charges people to sing. To me it's like robot wars....

I do not give a shit who is the greatest or best - but I always loved the Boys and I still enjoy it when they happen to appear on the radio in my car (yes, I drive an old car with a radio and do not Spotify my way around the neighborhood).

Not many groups can make you smile and jump 30 years later - and they are certainly in that group.

They make you jump? Hope @HCP starts listening because of this.
 
Murs is a dope rapper himself. Mainly independent but he made good stuff, don’t know if he raps anymore but he’s good. Beastie boys were ahead of their time. Their style was unique. I remember when I first heard them, my sister played brass monkey and it was so different. They had a punk rock vibe but also sounded dope on a beat. The new style is one of my favorites by them.

Not my cup of tea either as give me some good old school classic rock. My son was into them and went to their concert years ago. Never did anything for me as very little rap music did.

Mixmaster Mike is an amazing producer also. Hello Nasty is one of my favorite albums ever, although not one of their biggest successes.

Great great video. Thanks for sharing Sly!
Beastie Boys are legends. In my opinion, you can't really disagree with anything that guy says. He knows his shit and backs it up. How you gonna argue against Chuck D's opinion? Can't.
So Whatcha Want will always be one of my favorite songs. Love it!

This show was the only performance by the Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill on the Arsenio Hall show while it was still airing. This was due to a certain someone pulling out a joint on live tv. After this show Arsenio was flooded with complaints about having The Beasties and Cypress Hill pulling out marijuana on a show airing to millions… score!!! lol The Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill were immediately banned from the show.
