Support NeoGAF

[chitzy]

Just watched the "documentary" from Apple TV. The answer is very obvious (way before the documentary aired) but I'll consider this an IQ test for NeoGAF.

 

[Foamy]

The Jewish one.

 

[Cunth]

the white one

 

[Mr Hyde]

The black one.

 

[wondermega]

Paul's is my favorite album of all time (as in, ALL-TIME all time)

 

[V2Tommy]

I prefer my Beastie Boys doing hip-hop over electronic music over rock music, any time.

 

[drganon]

Mca, may he rest in peace.

 

[bRacing]

I prefer my Beastie Boys doing hip-hop over electronic music over rock music, any time.

They never did any of that. They were always a punk band.

 

[V2Tommy]

They never did any of that. They were always a punk band.

They never did which part? Because the last 3 albums are very electronic and the first 3 are very rock. Or is punk music not rock?

 

[mr.dilya]

They were all garbage.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Me

There's some funny videos of MCA before he was a women's rights advocate loving women at his concerts by fingering them when all they wanted was an autograph.

Everybody rappin’ like it's a commercial actin’ like life is a big commercial

 

[Catphish]

Everybody rappin’ like it's a commercial actin’ like life is a big commercial

So this is what I got to say to y'all
Be true to yourself and you will never fall

 

[Richard Packer]

They were all garbage.

Booty butt cheeks.

 

[ILLtown]

Never heard of them.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Adrock, then MCA.

What did you guys think of the doc? I still haven't watched it yet, but I love me some Beastie Boys

 

[highrider]

MCA. Yauch in my opinion was the most talented not only as an MC but as a producer. Diamond and Yauch are both studio caliber musicians. I’m not happy he passed, but I’m kind of happy I never had to see them go full woke. I want to remember the good times.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

You can't single one out, they interplay off each other too well.

Secret answer it was Mix Master Mike all along.

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

One of the most overrated musical acts of all time

I'll leave it to DMC to rebut your opinion -

Their Effect on Hip-Hop: "The Beastie Boys are one of the greatest groups, and I'm not just talking hip-hop — the Beastie Boys are one of the greatest groups in history. You could call them the Ramones of hip-hop. Even greater than that, they were a great rock and roll band. They made it possible for Eminem, Vanilla Ice and all these other white rappers that came up to have a place to be. They made it acceptable."

You ever go to their shows? Full instruments being used, energy like no other and a crowd all coming together to enjoy to the fullest with the boys driving it all. Fuck even Dr. Dre was a DJ for them for awhile.

Your knees will start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from mr spock!

[JareBear: Remastered]

Eh, all I know is Ill Communication is one of the best albums ever, imo

The doc was pretty great except for the virtue signaling over the feminist shit.

It's in my top for sure

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Greatest intro of any musician on a talk show.

 

[teezzy]

One of the coolest groups ever. I grew up with Licensed to Ill as one of my first cassettes as a kid. Must've played that thing to death.

Their DVD, Awesome I Fucking Shot That, was such an innovative concert DVDs. They gave a bunch of fans camcorders to record their concert with and while viewing the DVD, you had the ability to switch between different cameras iirc. I loved the ability to switch viewing angles throughout each watch for a unique viewing experience every time.

I saw Mike D do a DJ set once though a few years back and really wasnt feeling it tbh

 

[HellforLeather]

They were all garbage.

Boo this man!

I got to see them in Long Beach and they did the whole bit with Mixmaster Mike walking from the tour bus into the arena. One of the best concerts I've ever been to, it was amazing. They even did some of their instrumental stuff from "The In Sound from Way Out" in crush blue velvet suits.

Nice one. I saw them a few times in a couple of countries, my favourite was a venue with only around 2K people in a sort of Spanish forum setup. The atmosphere was incredible. I've been raving, Foo Fighers, AC/DC, Ice-T, Public Enemy, 3 day festivals, Bon Jovi, U2, Madonna etc etc but by far my best concert was the boys up close and chillin'. Body Movin' is made for live concert openers, literally every person hanging back or in the booth seating jumped up and became one with the crowd vibe. Amazing.

And dat bass. So awesome.

Man, respect to MCA but Ad-Rock was the better MC.
