Q-tip was the only one of those 3 who was actually close friends with Beastie Boys and recorded the song Get It Together with them (on shrooms!) so that's why he fits the most naturally doing their songs. From Check Your Head era on, MCA became a Buddhist pacifist anti-gun political activist, so he didn't like saying his lyrics that involved guns anymore (22 automatic on my person.)
You are on point! MCA, was all true what you said; except the '22 automatic on my person' and my finger on the trigger', they were censored by VH1. You can see MCA saying the words,
This was at VH1 Hip Hop Honors. Most of the people it shows watching in the seats are Africa Bambaataa (silver glasses and staff), Wu-Tang members, Ice Cube, and Rakim (hat and dark shades). There are other videos of their induction into the hall of fame, which was done by Chuck D (Public Enemy) and LL Cool J, who ADrock discovered.
@9:05 I remember watching this live and when they flipped to that "Breathe" instrumental, I was going nuts. Beastie Boys would always rap over more current beats when they did their live performances.
Here for at least the third time. Appreciate a musician/MC's perspective on one of my favourite groups. #beastieboysreaction #beastieboys #shakashine #hiphopreaction
They Censor 22 automatic on my person, and finger on the trigger...you should do The New Style album version just so you can hear it in its original form
Excellent request, and excellent reaction! I was gonna request this one too, but I'm glad someone put this through already. Yeah, It was cool to see the tribute, but you're right. Nobody passed lines to each other like the Beasties can! It shows here.
Love this...I’m pretty sure this was just a hip hop tribute for the Beastie Boys. Wish they would of had LL Cool J and Public Enemy and Busta Rhymes do the tribute.
It wasn't just a Beastie Boys tribute. This is from the 3rd VH1 Hip Hop Honors (2006.) The honorees were 1. Afrika Bambaataa 2. Beastie Boys 3. Eazy-E 4. Ice Cube 5. MC Lyte 6. Rakim 7. Russell Simmons 8. Wu-Tang Clan
Qtip worked with and toured with Beasties. Naturally, he'd be the most natural 😊 Beasties have engery and chemistry that is hard to duplicate. And the Chappell New Style wasn't the full song. Listen to the whole thing and you'll hear so many things that that sampled from that song into others. They cannibalized that song over the years. Love their energy.
The censored lines go: “A lot of beer, a lot of girls and a lot of cursin’; .22 automatic on my person; Got my hand in my pocket and my finger’s on the trigger”. So cursin’ and the references to the gun were censored!
Here ya go ShakaShine! You wanted another experimental artist on the same level as the Beastie Boys. I give you Beck. I'll send a donation to support the channel as well. Link in my reply (so youtube doesn't remove it).
And here is another goofy one, but great one! You have already reacted to the live version (on Letterman, which was GREAT). Here is the official video. I'll send a paypal to help boost the channel. ua-cam.com/video/6iuGp9gUeNk/v-deo.html
Yeah, Q-tip is a legend of a rapper and prouder he can hold his own up there. I'll give it to Diddy as a money maker but his mic skill are not up there. I don't really know the other dude that well. That is a crowd of legends an they're rocking them.
Qtip is the only one with the energy to pull this off. None of the rest of them have the right vibe...too worried about looking cool. If you're going to cover the Beastie Boys, you can't come out and be all laid back. You have to bring your 'A' game.
It’s a 6 1/2 min long performance... and I don’t plan anything. I just start it and whatever happens, happens. Plus this is a reaction channel. Not a hurry up and get through the song channel. Just saying.
respekt to the tribjute but they sound like they are reading the shit off of a teleprompter. sounds like someone got picked to read during class. not alot of enthusiasm

Even after this, they still don't get the respect they deserve for their longevity, discography and influence on the industry.

Even if ATCQ never happened Tip would still be a legend , dudes put on so many people.
Like Mobb Deep!
He's also a criminally underrated producer.
A lot of beers. A lotta girls, and a lot of cursin. 22 automatic on my person
Followed by “got my hands in my pocket, the fingers on the trigger”
My posse getting big and posse getting bigger
Screaming Scarecrow that wasn’t censored??
@@goldboy150 Oh that's what we doing. My bad.
It was muted because MCA said ".22 automatic on my person".
Unfortunately I only got to see them once during the Hello Nasty tour, but I'll take it. Amazing show.
The lyric “22 automatic on my person”
And “my fingers on the trigger “ were censored

Afrika Baambaataa and Rakim in the audience. Powerful. Recognize brotha ;)

A lot of cursing 22 automatic on my person . He wasn’t feeling that anymore . He was more about peace and positive vibes. So he didn’t say it

Here are the Beastie Boys more on their goofy side. I'll send a Paypal for this... working towards a computer upgrade! Body Moving, official video.

A 16 minute reaction for a 3 1/2 minute song? Nah that ain’t it
It’s a 6 1/2 min long performance... and I don’t plan anything. I just start it and whatever happens, happens.
Plus this is a reaction channel. Not a hurry up and get through the song channel. Just saying.
