You will always be remembered as a legend.
💖
LEGEND WE MISS U YAUCH
Forever
RIP to the rap god.
Bumping from a young dumbass kid to a grown adult now.
RIP MCA… I remember “She’s On It!” on a TV station called U-68. It sounded like a surfer rock song but I was okay with that. I liked that sort of music. Then when the “Paul Revere/a-It’s The New Style” 12” single came out, it was a wrap, I was hooked on the Beasties. Hip Hop broke ground with mixtures of beats ti make brand new cutting edge beats and instrumentals. The entire background music played backwards. Who ever thought of that. The beat of the following song sounding like a hard rock song but it is throws you through a loop because the placement of the bass and snare are switched up a little bit. Since PE is uo there, might as well mention how “Rebel Without A Pause” shook things up. Hip Hop needs to get back to that. Ground breaking beats but not Ultimate Break Beats. That’s old.
If Chuck D has your back, you know you're legit!
Yep
Chuck D for president
Thats 100. Coming from a homie from iceland
I was in 8th grade when I got their album, I am first generation hop, GEN X, WE ARE BEASTIES FO LIFE.....they ARE OUR LEGENDS OF THE 80'S HOP, WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN DA STREETS BOUT DEM BOYS, 💯..I am 53 now. #WEbeBEASTIE👈🏾💯😎
#OFFICIAL
Very accurate about RUNDMC bringing rap to the edge of suburbia and the Beasties driving it straight into town. Very very beautiful way to put it
Absolutely!
In 1985 I was listening to Run DMC in the suburbs on the edge of town in Adelaide, South Australia. I enjoyed the Beastie Boys, but they never quite caught my attention like Run and Public Enemy. I now know the BBs were seminal, and i'm loving revisiting the sounds of my teenage years with new ears.
I don't care what people say, LL Cool J should be in the rock & roll hall of fame. It's long overdue.
I agree. Such an influence on today's music whether people know or not.
I thought he was 😳
So should biggie.
Ehhhh, probably not. Beasies got in because they are an actual band. They're punk rock kids, playing instruments, who had a disturbing amount of rhythm. So much so that they had to create a new style to be classified. That style? Beastie Boy style. You can't categorize an original.
LL, Biggie, and many others have certainly influenced music including some rock, and I F'in love them, but they are MCs with a mic, not musicians with an instrument.
@@citisoccer So how do you explain Pac in the HOF?
Chuck D, what a guy. Imagine getting props like this from him.
Chuck dee knows the deal for real
Saw Public Enemy open for the Beasties on the Licensed to Ill tour in 87. My jaw dropped. Straight amazing and life changing.
Thatt must've been a great night, my 1st rap concert was in 88, Public enemy, Run dmc, Derek b, in Brixton Academy, with never forget it..... Still have the ticket stub
@@gowmitch069 Shit, my first hip hop concert was Eminem Anger Management in 01. Shit was crazy
Same! Loved it!!!
Seen Beasties 3 times, the energy with dj hurricane is insane, best shows I've ever seen
@@gowmitch069 saw beastie boys in Brixton academy in 2007. Awesome night
Chuck D is one of the great public speakers of my generation. Also, he has integrity.
Great speaker!
"I know I can read it from the teleprompter, but I wrote it down"
Hip hop and rock have so much in common at the roots of their culture. A healthy disrespect for authority, a willingness to explore outside boundaries. The genres are two sides of the same coin, and fit so well together when people embrace them.
i’ve been saying this for ages!
especially Punk music. Blondie was already talking about Fab Five Freddy in Rapture
what about $too short$ iron maiden. Judas priest . the scorpions. the west coast heavy metal bands w. a. s. p. the original infamous black list of parental advisory committee led by tipper gore. when when. i wish Razor rant could help us . the condor69
Except for kid rock, of course.
yes
Chuck be preaching.
RIP MCA.
Towards the end LL Cool J looks choked up with gratitude for the help and props he got off The Beastie Boys at the start of his career.
They get LL and Chuck's respect so that's more than good enough for me.
Chuck D has the voice of All Time, Word too LL.
First heard “Bass! How low can you go?” From Chuck and “My radio believe Me I like it loud” from LL. Been listening to these cats ever since.
Greatest rap voice period...nobody does it better. All hail the B Boys too.
Chuck D should be a pastor/reverend for a church. He is so good at speaking and has such great "punch" in his words
chuck D is the morgan freeman of hip-hop. his voice is like butter
The Rhyme Animal!!
Any man who can smile and say "yes, I quote myself" is a legend
Paul's Boutique is still a top 5 favorite album of all time for me. Fantastic album
You ain't lying!! 🤘🏻🤙🏼
Turn the bass UP!!! Hello Brooklyn
1000% it set the bar for all types of music I got into. Rock hip hop blues disco whatever. They nailed it all that record
@@raidernationbrian BOOM BOOOOOOM BOOM BOOOOOOM
Nobody could afford that album's samples nowadays,changed music!
Hip hop transcends race. What a beautiful example of how things can be!
🤔
In the 80s we made fun of each other. But we never forgot how to party with each other. Did I say EACH other?? There was no such thing back then. Weze Americans.
Well the left have made damn sure we all know what color we all are now
I grew up on Beastie Boys. I did a rendition of "Intergalactic" for an English class back in 99'. I changed the words to tell the story of "Beowulf". These guys were the soundtrack of my childhood. Hat's off to you true pioneer's! No one, or group, will ever fill their shoe's!!!!
I remember Beowulf. That's Awesome!
@@vampgrl79 Honestly I had no idea who Beowulf was when I made the song. I was supposed to read the book but never did, I just knew he was a badass of some sort. I got an "A" for it though lol. But now I have read the novel, and enjoy the movie! The movie with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Anthony Hopkins is one of my favorite movies of all time now. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!!!
I remember studying Beowulf! How innovative to use Intergalatic to explain a poem about a great hero. Glad you got an A 🙂
When I moved into the dorms my first year in college in 1989, I had way--way more stereo than school supplies.
One of the first albums I played really loud was the B. Boys. Made a lot of friends after that, they called my room the "headphone".
Still have that same vinyl.
I Sean all that stuff when thay was punk then whent hip hop
I can never imagine LL and Chuck D inducting Beastie Boys into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. LEGENDARY!!!
LL And Public Enemy deserve to be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame! And plenty more
Not LL but PE yes
Why would a rap group belong in the Rock n Roll HOF? They're not rock.
@@tamilashultz9676 Because hip hop has been inducted in the past. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were the first hip hop group inducted
@@nikki2sox I am aware. They shouldn't be there either. They're not rock n roll.
Maybe get yourself acquainted with what rock n roll is. To quote the great Chuck D, "We ALL came from the BLUES." Rock n roll was created by black folks. Period. Get familiar.
WOW Chuck D blows me away. Dude is fucking brilliant.
I grew into adulthood with Beastie Boys, same age. Got to see them in 1992 with L7 and House of Pain and in 1994 a Lollapalooza. I love those dudes. Thanks Adam, Adam and Mike.❤
I saw that tour here in Vancouver that same year. They played at The Commodore Ballroom. We’re so lucky, being able to talk about legendary experiences like this.
Love this. Chuck D is such a class act.
"The Beastie Boys, Murphy's Law, and Public Enemy"
Jesus fucking CHRIST, if ever a time machine is invented, I know the first place I'm visiting.
This is amazing to have Chuck D and LL induct the Beasties!.......WOW!!!!
They never try to sound like nobody else they just kept it real for years, 3 of the best to do it
A very important group in MUSIC not just rap
gen x...i love the beastie boys .
Not only did we have metal we had the beastie boys
@@godslayer1415
Metal sucks though.
Beastie Boys PE and Murphy's law?!?!? That is a dream show damn.
Had Beastie boys, fishbone and Murphy's law in 87.
That was my first concert! I saw them at the Worcester Centrum in 1987. It was incredible.
@@tgefaller i hadn't thought about Fishbone for years
I still have my Licensed to Ill Tour shirt ! … maybe one day I will donate It to the RnR HoF 🤔
The Beastie Boys' "Licensed To Ill" was a phenomenon. I was in college in Thousand Oaks & even when visiting South L.A. we absolutely LOVED these guys.
I have watched this probably 20 times, and just realized what L said, DMC ran rap up to the edge of suburbia and the Boys drove it straight down town... I am 49, this is the best way to explain the early to late 80's and rap and R&B
When I was a kid I used to curse my luck I didn't get to grow up with Led Zeppelin and the Doors on the stage. Now I look back and think how lucky I was to witness the birth of rap and hip-hop. Wish these old bones could still throw down a cardboard and breakdance😂
Funni...but true
@@brianrocks2087 no argument there.
Lol. I haven’t thought about that in eons! I was in 6th grade when the BB’s first album dropped. I totally remember some guys bringing a large piece of cardboard to school and breakdancing with their parachute pants during recesses/lunch breaks. ;)
P.S. I was just looking at you “Docs” playlist, and it’s content would highly suggest that you’re bIack... so I find your OP here quite bizarre (the first part about being upset about missing led zeppelin and the doors) lol.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Nope white suburbanite with a rebellious streak. My 1st unsupervised trip to tower records I went looking for albums with explicit lyrics😂. Walked out with 2live crew, NWA and Ice T smh.
Beastie Boys were an amazing group! They made some of the best hip hop albums of all time and each one was unique and well written and played! Their samples were on point, they were dumpster divers finding new and interesting sounds to pull from with a plethora of possibilities. The intelligence and talent that came through those albums and shows cannot be quantified. I could go on and on but in closing I would like to say a big Thank You to Adrock, Mike D and MCA (R.I.P)
not rock,but RR hall of fame is bs anyway
Dude it's not even the samples, they're well chosen, obviously, but it's the sounds the DJ can make just by scratchin'. Beastie Boys is simple. You get 3 really good MCs and a world class Record Scratchin' DJ, not the Playback and Mix type but the type that made new sounds out of their instrument.
Chuck D sounds presidential
Good lord, what a speech by two legends. RIP Yauch
damn LL making me cry 😭💜
I think he was about to cry also. Great speech!
@@TitoMariategui - he was when he mentioned that they got him his shot in Hip Hop. It shows he’s incredibly grateful to them.
In my opinion, Chuck D and Ice Cube are the best to ever do it. Much respect.
I have a copy of The Source May 1990 with Chuck on the cover and the summer 1990 issue of The Source with Ice Cube on the cover in excellent condition!!
Vanilla Ice was great too
@@DWQJVB Eminem father of Vanilla mama.😂😂😂
@@stxfdt1240Eminem is Vanillas son and knew he needed Dre to pimp him out for credibility. Now he’s just a bitter old pop star hating on all the young dudes trying to come up
Chuck D is a prophet. When he speaks, everyone should listen.
LL Cool J and The Beastie Boys were both on Def Jam at the same time in the mid to late 80’s
I'm crying right now because my dad would playing them my whole childhood.
Stop being so dramatic.
O no
@@debgib007stop bein a cold ass fool
Your lucky with my dad every day in the car it was either ABBA or THE HUMAN LEAGUE,The later wasn't so bad
@@debgib007Stop being so fake.
Chuck D. Forever the icon, the mind, the dissident, and the voice of hip hop. You gave us so much man. Thank you.
Legend
Damn straight
Man this is love.... chuck-D talking about just living in the house..........
Chuck, Cool J and the Beastie Boys are behemoths in the art form of music. So awesome to see this. RIP MCA.
☮️❤️🎵
This is a phenomenal induction speech...
You know done something right when Chuck d & ll cool j coming out to speak for you
If I ever get nominated for a Hall of Fame -- any Hall of Fame -- I hope Chuck D provides my induction speech.
I just nominated you for the UA-cam Comments Hall of Fame.
The Beastie Boys are still one of my favorite rap group of all time when getting signed to DefJam Recordings & Capital Records & they were still successful & i am still sad that MCA is still gone & he will never be forgotten.
Chuck D and LL are the epitome of class.
If you grew up in the 80 and were in HS like me from 85-89 the BB were the soundtrack of your youth. Mind blowing
Agree.
LL Cool J is the Tom Cruise of Hip Hop. The man just doesn´t age. He was 44 in this video.
44 isn't old. I'm in my 40s.
Yeah LL fine as hell
I was never into beastie boys in high school. They were just fine to because I never actually paid real attention. Was into a lot of punk and hardcore. Funny that now as an adult I'm honestly completely blown away by Paul's Boutique and how catchy and badass it is. First time hearing it I'm thinking holy shit this is awesome how did I miss this??? But it's also beautiful feeling something new and refreshing that is old and was right under my nose all along. Beautiful thing about music and art.
Paul's Boutique, like all of Beastie Boys records, is/are punk rock. Glad you are now on board!
When they started out they were hardcore punk
Great drinking game... Take a shot every time Chuck D shout outs to LL standin behind him lol
Then continue every time LL licks his lips
So grateful, as a gen x, to have witnessed all of this, from the beginning.
What a speech
just watched LLs induction 2021. CLEARLY it was a long time in the making for the GOAT.
Almost tears in my eyes ...
The Beastie Boys are not only the greatest band of our generation they are also the most influential.
LMAO! Greatest band of our generation? Good grief.
@@bigdawg7262 whatever you say Charlie Brown.
I used to play the beastie boys for my nephew when he was about seven years old and he and I used to ride around town jamming to their music and he would ask every time he got in my car, for me to put on the beastie boys! His dad (my brother) used to play their music for me when we would ride around together and then I got to share with him! I love this!
Two legends inducting a seminal group. Awesome job, Chuck D and LL Cool J.
The Beastie Boys kept making great albums after great albums and on and on.
B Boys Fire. Chuck D Public Enemy FIRE. LL Cool J Fire. Crew up in the 80s and Im grateful for all yall. Cheers from deeep in the Catskill Mts NY.
This is an amazing speech. Wow. He nails everything. Thanks for sharing.
Damn, LL is a class act. Chuck is solid. What a good induction.
Chuck D.. Greatest Rap voice of all time...
License to ILL was the first piece of music I ever owned. It was a 12 inch record I stole from my big brother bc the cover art was so sick.
same here. 7th grade, 1987
The plane, then you open it up it’s the plane as a cigarette being put out!!!!
Legends among legends. Perfect choices for introductions.
What a moment for hip-hop
Pauls broke the mold, they got the Dust brothers and made someting never heard before, still one of the best albums ever made of any musical form
9 Years later, LL Cool J himself gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
My admiration for both these men is immeasurable.
COOLjay Has such a respectfull and humorous great speech !
Damn, Chuck D is such a G
My favorite Rap group of all time! Paul’s Boutique is the best album ever! Love you guys! Since the mid 80s you guys were a huge influence on my life!
The Dust Brothers
Yep, Brooklyn Dust Music 🎶 🎵
The beautiful, heartfelt story from LL about how the Boys believed in him is the highlight @12:29 and a must watch.
Chuck D has one of those voices that could narrate anything. Also, holy shit, the Beasties put on LL? Fuck that's news for me!
I got so much trouble on my mind , refuse to lose... here's your ticket hear the drummer get wicked
Brass Monkey is still one of my all time favorites. Great memories. License to Ill is one of the greatest all time rap albums ever.
Chuck D was woke before it was a thing. Teach and preach Chuck D! 💜
This was awesome! All of those artists, LL, Public Enemy, and The Beastie Boys are all legendary artists!!
I've seen the Beasties twice in concert in my life. Once when they weren't too popular, and then a few years later when they got popular again. So, a smaller venue and then a big arena. I'm right about their age. It's been fun growing up with them, because if *they* can still be cool....then maybe that means I can still be cool, too. : ) #genx
LL was always class!
the beasties were actually contemporaries of run-dmc.. and, they actually knew and hung out with run-dmc. that's pretty impressive.. oh, and they made some great music themselves also.
I love this...
But if I would have been the guy thatcgave this speech to induct them? I'd have said it in ONE sentence...
"They have ALWAYS been five years cooler than the rest of us ever realized!"
Beastie Boys are on the Mount Rushmore for Rap and Rap/Punk Fusion... You can see the emotion on LL Cool J's face when telling the story; real love and respect
What great speeches! Big honours! Thanks Chick D & LL. You two are also kings of the music! I used to snow board down mountains with the beastie boys in my head.
I jumped on the BB band wagon from go. Most older friends were like... WTF man? I got it... the perfect blend of rap and rock! What other rap band played instruments? I think it was an age thing... old enough to appreciate the Zep toss-ins and young enough to be open to new shits
I can’t hold my emotions while watching this induction
Love the Beasties. Their rap and hip hop style kicks ass but it was their ability to pick up their own instruments and rock the house that really set them apart from so many others and help them get into the RRHOF.
Beastie Boys are the GOAThe groups in the 80's and 90's
I was 12 years old and in the 5th grade when I was exposed to what is now known as RAP MUSIC!
Thanks so much for this type of music!
Keep it real!
I’d love one day to run across Chuck D, shake his hand. Say Thank You. Strong Island represent.
Been a fan since 88.
RIP Adam Yauch, died from cancer! I can't imagine not them being around! Getting recognition!
all the greatest musicians
I could listen to another 30 minutes of this
Couple of the most amazing artists of my time, well a little before (born in 83) with one of the best and my most favorite bands.
Great speech by both men
Toata stima si respectul pentru voi .Sunteti unici.🌹🌹🌹Va salut din Romania
Whew! "helped build the house'!!! LL, Chuck D, Beastie Boys = legends!!!
i keep watching this
I had the pleasure of seeing Grandmaster Flash open for U2 and Todd Rundgren in 1983.
I bought license to ill the day before it was released on vinyl, still have it, fantastic album
RIP Adam Yauch of BB
I've seen so many concerts back in the day, seen Beasties 3 times and nobody puts on a show and the energy is insane, 3 man weave right in your face, do hurricane is awesome, stick em up !!!!
