The Beastie Boys put out their first album in 1986, and released albums through 2011. They went platinum, double platinum, triple platinum, and even diamond. Never heard of the Beastie Boys? That's like people familiar with Rock saying they never heard of Led Leppelin or the Beatles. The Beastie Boys back in the day opened for Run-DMC. A few years later, Public Enemy opened for the Beastie Boys. They are in the rock and roll hall of fame. Eminem's Kamikaze cover was a tribute to the cover of the Beastie Boys first album 'License to Ill'. You MUST watch the video to 'Intergalactic' and '3 MCs and 1 DJ'. Their discography is so large, you can listen to dozens of their songs before you find one you don't really like.
There’s a few others but not a lot of rappers/rap groups have been able to span that long of a time span and not get corny or run out of ideas, I mean obviously they weren’t at the height of their career or anything in the late 2000s but their last album is pretty dope to me and the only other rappers I can think of who’ve been able to stay consistent for that long are DOOM, Ghostface, Kool G Rap and Scarface. You could count Jay and Masta Ace and probably other people in forgetting but those four have had at least one great album in every decade imo
Beastie Boys are Hip Hop ROYALTY! ROY-AL-TY! 👑👑👑 For real yo, loads of hip hop/rap artists wouldn't even exist today if it weren't for the Beastie Boys....FACTS!
I will argue that this MAY be the best flow on a beat ever made. Its seamless and practiced to the point of ART. Its that "OLD School" style, that when done right CANNOT be touched!
The Beasties Boys were a legendary group. They go way back to the golden age of hip-hop. They had an incredible (and long) career. They have a lot of good songs. Here are a few to check out: INTERGALACTIC. HEY LADIES. SHAKE YOUR RUMP. PROFESSOR BOOTY.
Maybe it's cause I'm old as hell but it blows my mind how many of these young guys have never heard of the Beastie Boys. Makes me wonder how many other hip hop legends from the 80s and 90s they've never heard.
I'm SO excited that ya'll found the Beastie Boys! They came out when I was in high school & they are still on my playlist today. "Paul Revere" & "The New Style" should be next on the list. 3 MCs & 1 DJ is a must as well. MORE BEASTIE BOYS PLEASE!
Hey Christina! I’m a few years older than you and the Beastie Boys came out when I was in my mid 20s. I was a heavy metal guy and I NEVER listened to them! I knew they sang ‘fight for your right to party’ and that was about it. It stayed that way until about a year ago now that I’m in my late 50s. They are so amazing! I can’t believe I denied myself the enjoyment I get from listening to their music for so long. I’m still discovering songs.
@@thewiseoldherper7047 it's never too late to embrace the Beastie Boys! Lol Be sure to check out the entire License to Ill album, the earlier stuff was always my favorite. Probably because it reminds me of all the fun I had in high school (class of 1990)
Omg, guys, Beastie Boys.... you wont be disappointed, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends! You'll shit your pants listening to Licensed to Ill and Paul's Boutique and seeing how influential these guys are!
Beasties came out in 1986 and basically revolutionized hip hop/ rock in a good way. You have a long, awesome road to travel with these guys and I’m going to enjoy watching you two do it! 😁
It's crazy to me that anyone who considers themselves true hip hop fans hasn't heard of the Beastie Boys. True Rap/Hop Hop Royalty in every sense of the word. Without Beastie Boys there wouldn't be LL Cool J. Do "An Open Letter to NYC" It's one of their best yet most overlooked songs.
It also seems unbelievable to me but not entirely improbable that newer generations coming up haven't heard of them. In a way that makes reaction videos like this even more enjoyable. Seeing Beastie Boys for the first time, never heard of them, reacting to one of their songs almost 30 years after it came out..!?! YO and loving it?!? That tells me I'm not just stilling loving these guys after all these years cause nostalgia. They've always been and always will be legit, badass rap artists.
Beastie Boys helped propel rap into the mainstream. They were part of Def Jam with LL Cool J and a Public Enemy, as well as the label affiliated Run DMC. Their Licensed to Ill album was a pivotal moment in hip hop history. Eminem’s Kamikaze album cover pays tribute to the album and Beastie Boys are one of the few hip hop artists inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. They were joined this year by label mate LL Cool J and Public Enemy a few years ago.
React to Beastie Boys - Get it Together (Feat: Q-Tip), 3 MC's 1 DJ, or Car Thief they are Hip-Hop Royalty, don't get caught up in their radio popular stuff only.
SUBSCRIBED! You just witnessed for the first time one of THEE most influential hip-hop pioneers of ALL TIME!....And I'm looking forward to watching your continued awakening to their genius! Gotta do these in no particular order but starting with 3 MCs and 1 DJ...and then any of the following: Paul Revere Intergalactic Posse in Effect Sure Shot Car Thief Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun Get it Together (featuring Qtip) There's so much more....Enjoy the ride!!
I have to subscribe so I can follow your Beastie Boys journey! That's a ride you are going to enjoy tremendously, and I'm gonna enjoy watching that happen. Keep doing what you do. Peace
In addition to spitting bars and dropping knowledge, each member of the Beastie Boys played an instrument. You hear and see bass guitar, electric guitar, drums, piano and an organ, thats them. On the Check Your Head album, you never knew what you were going to get because they bounce from being Hip-Hop to Punk Rock, to Jazz. They were the epitome of true talent. Most Hip-Hop artists could never.
Beastie boys are thee Pinnicle forfront roots of hip-hop/Rap/Funk/Rock/punk new age that IMO were a one of a kind talented unique artists. Created a Swiss army knife type hybrid band. Cooler then cool. I find myself appreciating them more now then ever before. Grew up loving albums, Ill communication And licence to Ill and my personal favorite check your head. Takes me back to my youth of fiery !!
Hip Hop Royalty, No doubt it my mind ,you guys would really dig Three Mc's & one DJ, Intergalactic, Root Down, The Skills to pay the bills live in Amsterdam. So many more. Like most people posting here. These guys are true pioneers of hip hop culture, when talent was a prerequisite for success. Many of their songs represent their true gratitude towards hip hop pioneers who came before them. Really hope you guys delve into this once in a lifetime, special group of what TRUE MC"s represented back in the day.
Yall gonna get a lot of views for this one cause Beastie Boys fans check out all these reaction videos. I'm sure we all feel the same. You're not a real fan of Hip Hop if you don't know the Beastie Boys. They are straight OGs of Hip Hop. Hope yall do more of their videos.
Beastie Boys just brought me to your channel for the first time. Songs: "3 MCs and 1 DJ" and "Intergalactic" are great ones to react to next. Both very different than each other though.
You know a group is fire when everyone argues about which album is the best one. (The correct answer is Check your Head 😄) subscribed in the hopes that I see more Beastie Boys
In all the reactions to the Beastie Boys, I never hear people talking about how they played their own instruments and sampled themselves, which was really cool and especially fun seeing them live back in the 1990s.
Just a little factoid for ya about the Beadtie Boys, they were actually a punk band before they got into rap/hip hop. They really were the first ones to combine elements of both together and made it sound bitchin’. They are major influences of a ton in HipHop including Em’. They are a joy to discover! We were still bumpin them hard in the 90’s! They were out in the 80’s alongside Run DMC.
Baby boys, it’s time you experienced these legends. Go in threw the albums in chronological order, and hear how these guys developed and innovated. They are Princes of Hip Hop
Oh the legendary Beastie Boys. Do I miss the 80s & 90s. Watcha want came out in early '92. I was 13 at the time and hit so hard with my train crash puberty.
Beastie Boys are great, I think you guys are gonna enjoy the ride. They are very old school hip hop. Started as a rock group, but with a passion for hip hop, so they changed their act to hip hop and started making waves, then they brought rock influence back into their style. These dudes helped get LL Cool J signed. They're a great group, though. Worth diving into if you like the old school hip hop sound. All-time biggest tracks you'll wanna check out (to name just a few) are probably "Three MCs and One DJ" and "Intergalactic" and "Sure Shot" and "Shake Your Rump". If you wanna check out a more obscure but very interesting track, they did a collab track with Q Tip from A Tribe Called Quest once.
These guys got LL Cool jay his shot. They are pioneers of hip hop. Also, those are actual instruments used for the song, no electronics. These guys changed my generation's lives. They came out in 1986 when I was 13. This is a rabbit hole you guys definitely will enjoy sliding down. Check out Paul Revere, The New Style, Sure Shot, Shake Your Rump, intergalactic, Sabotage and 3 MC's and 1 DJ. 3 MC's and 1 DJ was done live, in one take. It will blow your mind.
Never heard of Beastie Boys?! Active like for a minute yeah…when they sold 20 million records, went Platinum 7 times and have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They were together since 1978 but active as the Beastie Boys from 1981-2012. There was no Rap Industry when they started. Do you understand? It was Hip hop only. They come from Punk music but incorporated metal, Latin, hip hop, etc. and created ALL their music and beats. This is the sound of New York City your hearing.Real artist and Legends! Still listening 37 years later! And You been listening to music for like 3 min 38 seconds.
Yo you guys need to stay up on the beasties man I've been listening since the 80s when Def came out my first tape was Run DMC raising hell and Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill and third grade. I'm 44 and I still love it every day
Would also be cool to see you guys delve into my favorite Hip hop group of the 90's. The Geto Boys...specifically Gota Let Your Nuts hang ,Damn it feels good to be a gangster, & Mind playing tricks on me. Scarface is such an underrated MC.
I remember they were always a huge band, I listened to their songs only when ▶️ on 📻. Obviously, very, talented. I gratefully leave details to everyone in chat. Thank you, Raymond and Keylow😁🖤💯🤎❤
they are from the the 80's they were instrumental for bringing LL cool j and others into the rap scene. they got many hits from that era . all hip hop they were pioneers
Beastie Boys are one of the pillars upon which hip hop is built. Hit records in rap game since 1986. The last true hip hop albu, was their 2nd record pauls boutique. Bizmarkie had just been sued and samples got too expensive. so a traditional sample hip hop record was gone forever and Pauls boutiqe was last.
Glad I stumbled on this reaction, BBoys are the truth. Have you heard anything from the freestyle king, Harry Mack? If not please start with "Omegle Bars #39". I promise you will be blown away. He's in a league of his own.
The Beastie Boys are Transcendental! They were in the classic movie Crush Groove back in the day. They also have an instrumental album that is amazing, called The Mix-Up. Try it
The Move, Limerick File, Root Down, Intergalactic, 3 MC's and 1 DJ, Professor Booty (diss track), High Plains Drifter, Shadrach, Paul Revere and the original version of Body Movin, Putting Shame in your game are all dope ones you should react to. Folks will recommend Hey Ladies and Brass Monkey etc... they're fun lyrically but the beats are meh. The best Beastie Boys songs have dope beats and lyrics. So, I gave you a few that I honestly think you'd like more than some of the ones probably recommended to you. Because for some reason, folks love to post the same meh mainstream songs as if Beastie Boys don't have a huge catalogue of "hidden" gems. #AlwaysWearHeadphones 💯
RaymondKeylow If I remember correctly the sound of the vocal was produced by running the mic signal through a ProCo Rat (a popular guitar distortion pedal of the day).
Love these guys…admittedly I’m a geezer…saw them at CBGBs when they were exclusively a punk band….they sucked 🤣 However they evolved into this great thing…kudos They were generous, they brought some folks up, too
Beasties started playing together as a punk rock band, then started rapping and working with Def Jam in the early 1980s. They are responsible for getting LL Cool J signed to Def Jam.
Slow and low was originally a Run DMC jam, but they didn't like how it flowed but being on tour with the Beastie Boys they offered them the track saying with 3 MC's it should flow better and it did and the rest is history. If anyone doubts do a search and you can hear Run DMC's version, it is good but it doesn't flow like it should
When you guys get a chance you should check out Chuck D and LL Cool J inducting the beastie boys into the rock n roll hall of fame, only then will you understand how influential the beastie boys were to hip hop.
Beastie Boys are one of THE founding Rap acts. Not knowing who they are is like enjoying Rock and Roll but having no idea who Chuck Berry or Little Richard are.

Also were very instrumental in helping LL Cool J blow up. Ad Rock got Rick Rubin to listen to LL`s demo
1st rap album to reach #1 on billboard
Preach
Also check out "An Open Letter to NYC"
Beastie Boys are Hip Hop ROYALTY! ROY-AL-TY! 👑👑👑 For real yo, loads of hip hop/rap artists wouldn't even exist today if it weren't for the Beastie Boys....FACTS!
Word.
Fact checked,
True.
Even Eminem says they were one of his influences. Their are many to react too. I'd love to see you react to Intergalactic
First generation Def Jam artists. They helped start the whole thing!
They are first generation, but hip hop wouldn’t exist without them ? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🥲😭
Beastie Boys have sold 20 million records in the United States and seven platinum-selling albums from 1986 to 2004.
"I never heard of The Beastie Boys"....yikes!!
I will argue that this MAY be the best flow on a beat ever made. Its seamless and practiced to the point of ART.
Its that "OLD School" style, that when done right CANNOT be touched!
You have to do 3 MC’s and one DJ, Paul Revere or anything off the License to ILL album! Beastie Boys are legendary!
YES!!!
🤘
I second that!!!
I like to listen to Paul Revere in a car with some 12''s ...love the bass in that sound.
Licence to ill, is a masterpiece.
Brass Monkey, slow ride....
The Beasties Boys were a legendary group. They go way back to the golden age of hip-hop. They had an incredible (and long) career. They have a lot of good songs. Here are a few to check out:
INTERGALACTIC.
HEY LADIES.
SHAKE YOUR RUMP.
PROFESSOR BOOTY.
Root Down is my favorite
Maybe it's cause I'm old as hell but it blows my mind how many of these young guys have never heard of the Beastie Boys. Makes me wonder how many other hip hop legends from the 80s and 90s they've never heard.
Used to skate to this back in the day. Great nostalgia.. and Im sure my neighbors appreciate it, too. 😉
“Never heard of the Beastie Boys.”
That’s crazy. Mind.......BLOWN!!!! 🤯
Pioneers of Hip Hop.
Yes, Definitely MORE Beastie Boys. They've got tons of great songs you'll dig
Their album Pauls Boutique is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever. Perfect listen from beginning to end. Check it out!
I'm SO excited that ya'll found the Beastie Boys! They came out when I was in high school & they are still on my playlist today. "Paul Revere" & "The New Style" should be next on the list. 3 MCs & 1 DJ is a must as well.

They need to do a basketball reaction next: "Who is this Michael Jordan you speak of?"
I saw the Beastie Boys in the early 80’s open for Madonna at Madison Square Garden

I saw Th Beastie Bus in Detroit New Years Eve 1991, one fo the best shows I’ve ever seen. Somethings got to give us amazing .

Never heard of Beastie Boys?! Active like for a minute yeah…when they sold 20 million records, went Platinum 7 times and have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Yo you guys need to stay up on the beasties man I've been listening since the 80s when Def came out my first tape was Run DMC raising hell and Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill and third grade. I'm 44 and I still love it every day
I'm sad you've never heard of them. They're real hip hop.
Would also be cool to see you guys delve into my favorite Hip hop group of the 90's. The Geto Boys...specifically Gota Let Your Nuts hang ,Damn it feels good to be a gangster, & Mind playing tricks on me. Scarface is such an underrated MC.
Love the Beasties!!🔥❤
2024 could use some BOOM-BAP!
Beastie Boys came out in the 80s and this song came out in 91!!!
They hit the airwaves in 81
R.I.P. MCA.
Great reaction 👍🏻 i wish they were still around.
Brings me back to to mid 90’s and partying
I remember they were always a huge band, I listened to their songs only when ▶️ on 📻. Obviously, very, talented. I gratefully leave details to everyone in chat. Thank you, Raymond and Keylow😁🖤💯🤎❤
The Beastie Boys where one of the pioneers at the forefront on Hip Hop. One of the first signed by Def Jam. Straight outta Brooklyn. Legends
they are from the the 80's they were instrumental for bringing LL cool j and others into the rap scene. they got many hits from that era . all hip hop they were pioneers
LEGENDS.
License to Ill reminds me of high school - played this CD in the caf for so much of grade 9. lol.
This was your favorite artist, favorite artist
Beastie Boys are one of the pillars upon which hip hop is built. Hit records in rap game since 1986. The last true hip hop albu, was their 2nd record pauls boutique. Bizmarkie had just been sued and samples got too expensive. so a traditional sample hip hop record was gone forever and Pauls boutiqe was last.
Beastie Boys have so many hooks and little snippets from their songs mixed into other songs by modern rappers. Many probably don't even realize it.
My favorite beastie song, but love them all.
Favorite album is hello nasty.
your right its actually a mix between rock and rap , the beastie boys started out as punk rockers turned rap
Love this song!!❤👏👍💯
Glad I stumbled on this reaction, BBoys are the truth. Have you heard anything from the freestyle king, Harry Mack? If not please start with "Omegle Bars #39". I promise you will be blown away. He's in a league of his own.
Cool reaction. First time watching, new sub. Looking forward to more Beasties!
Sorry, just noticed when replaying, song. Congrats on 11K🥳💯💙💜.
The Beastie Boys are Transcendental! They were in the classic movie Crush Groove back in the day. They also have an instrumental album that is amazing, called The Mix-Up. Try it
The Move, Limerick File, Root Down, Intergalactic, 3 MC's and 1 DJ, Professor Booty (diss track), High Plains Drifter, Shadrach, Paul Revere and the original version of Body Movin, Putting Shame in your game are all dope ones you should react to. Folks will recommend Hey Ladies and Brass Monkey etc... they're fun lyrically but the beats are meh. The best Beastie Boys songs have dope beats and lyrics. So, I gave you a few that I honestly think you'd like more than some of the ones probably recommended to you. Because for some reason, folks love to post the same meh mainstream songs as if Beastie Boys don't have a huge catalogue of "hidden" gems.
#AlwaysWearHeadphones 💯
I think it's you always requesting Limerick File. I agree.
Professor Booty is my all time fave and I get so excited whenever I see it mentioned thank you ☺️
Oh yea, my son was crazy about them. Videos were hilarious.
RaymondKeylow If I remember correctly the sound of the vocal was produced by running the mic signal through a ProCo Rat (a popular guitar distortion pedal of the day).
Def watch their Three MCs and One DJ and Ch-Check It Out (Especially their live performance of it on Letterman).
The bass drums and guitar was the BBoys playing. Awesome. Great live as well.
I ask this question to my cat almost every day.
THE GOATS.
When he said I never heard of the beasty boys I was like lolololol
Love these guys…admittedly I’m a geezer…saw them at CBGBs when they were exclusively a punk band….they sucked 🤣
However they evolved into this great thing…kudos
They were generous, they brought some folks up, too
The Beastie Boys are the OG. Try Paul Revere, and 3 MCs and 1 DJ. RIH MCA
Beasties started playing together as a punk rock band, then started rapping and working with Def Jam in the early 1980s. They are responsible for getting LL Cool J signed to Def Jam.
👌 can't beat old school
The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore REACTION
They started as a punk act, before they changed over to rap/hip-hop. So, you're totally right to hear some rock in there
Must listen to their song High Planes Drifter
Good job guys…so much more Beasties for you to enjoy
Slow and low was originally a Run DMC jam, but they didn't like how it flowed but being on tour with the Beastie Boys they offered them the track saying with 3 MC's it should flow better and it did and the rest is history. If anyone doubts do a search and you can hear Run DMC's version, it is good but it doesn't flow like it should
When you guys get a chance you should check out Chuck D and LL Cool J inducting the beastie boys into the rock n roll hall of fame, only then will you understand how influential the beastie boys were to hip hop.
Beastie Boys are one of THE founding Rap acts. Not knowing who they are is like enjoying Rock and Roll but having no idea who Chuck Berry or Little Richard are.
A MINUTE? They are hip hop straight out of Brooklyn!!! Everything you sample today is thanks to them!!
Google who they brought up….he inducted them into the Rock n Roll HOF…
Do that homework
Very respectful reaction gentlemen
