Favorite lines Nas: I ain't tryin to hear your racket, you work with police, dog, ya snitch, ya rat you wear that jacket Mike D: Rockin stadiums and shitty bars, go back in time send a fax from my car Ad Rock: I take the cake, I stole the mould that golden microphone well that's mine to hold MCA: Stay up all night and I MC, and never die cause death is the cousin of sleep This was their last performance and video before he passed RIP MCA
Kills me to know there will never be new Beasties music again but I get why. Another good one off that album is Nonstop Disco Powerpack. The flow is unreal.
It kills me as well but makes me love them at the same time. They are keeping their word to MCA. I respect them so much for that. They have tons of unreleased stuff to inwould love to here.
interesting fact, that concert footage in this video is from Boneroo, which was the last Beastie Boys concert ever, not long after that show, MCA announced he had cancer and he died a while after that. So this video is extra sad.
Yo Shaka, much respect for your channel and your craft. Keep it up, bro. I love the Beasties because they were the OG crew that opened the door for me into the world of hip hop that I would've been too intimidated to open myself as a punk ass teen in 1987. Thanks to them I was brought to Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Kool Moe Dee, LL, Nas, Public Enemy, etc. They opened that door and never lost sight of who they were and who their influences were. Humble, real, and talented as fuck. No equal.
I was a teenager and remember hearing echoes of "Broken glass, everywhere" for a year or so, and a friend or two actually had a Run DMC cassette, "its tricky, my adidas, you talk too much", LL Coo J was Bad and so cool, and We had heard "Cookie Puss" and were just kinda like Okay. Once these guys got started, I put down the Kool moe dee, the Third bass, and no Van Winklly was gonna stand a chance in a Rico Suave hell. I have been a strict Beastie boy fan for my rap diet since Paul's Boutique. There are no substitutes.
Maybe my best cd purchase EVER was The Beastie Boys - Anthology: The Sounds of Science. My mind was blown as a pre teen because it opened me up to so many sounds and their catalogue of music. 2 discs of pure genius. I later bought every cd they had and have been enjoying their music ever since. Timeless music imo
The Beastie Boys assault you with lyrics, fast paced and always with energy! Also they drop pop references that make you look them up. And, from their Ill Communication album.....Ad Rock in The Scoop: "because I'm on time, you shoutin' rewind" .......so true, I'd have to rewind endless times over the years to catch it all.
Subscribed after watching ShakaShine, Great review. I like what you said in the beginning it made me think of how we all have different life experiences, so we do not all understanding things the same way. That’s part of the reason almost everyone will say Eminem has technical ability off the charts, but some of those same people say I don’t drive around and bump his music. I feel blessed to have been born in the states but started Kindergarten in the Caribbean and stayed till 5th grade. I was the only blond hair blue eyed kid in my classes full of small human beings and not till I moved back to FL did I witness that some people do not know we are all the same when it’s all said and done. So, I have always felt comfortable everywhere and my first favorite music is reggae. But I have loved the Beasties from the first. I understand why some do not relate to them, but their skills can not be denied. DIY all the way, they produce their music and videos, play the instruments when they want, dig deep in the crates for samples. This song made me go back and look at Nas again because I was on some other vibe when Illmatic came out. Almost totally missed a gem if not for this song. I talk to much sorry. I hope I did not get to far off topic. Just felt expressive and I dug your vibe. Respect Thx for the review and her are the answers to your questions. Why do I like them? I feel like they always stayed true to themselves. They never pretended to be somebody they were not (1st album maybe a little). Blazed their own trail, owned the violent misogynistic early material made amends and grew. Favorite lines in no order. Adrock “Because I'm back with a bang, boogie, oogie-oogie Strawberry Letter 23 like Shuggie” I had no idea what he was talking about and had to look it up. Well…"Strawberry Letter 23" is a 1971 song written and composed by Shuggie Otis from his 1971 album Freedom Flight. It is best known by the 1977 cover version recorded by the Brothers Johnson and produced by Quincy Jones. Never heard it you are missing out. MCA “Stay up all night, and I MC and never die. Cause death is the cousin of sleep” Obvious reference to Nas line on Illmatic. Nas “I'm broader than Broadway, I was the project hallway. Dual tape recorder, lacin' oratorials all day” Paint a good picture of him in project hallways with less than top quality equipment working at it all day. Also Beasties use the line broader than Broadway in Hello Brooklyn along with Barrington Levy - Here I Come (Broader Than Broadway) Mike D “Rockin' stadiums and shitty bars Go back in time, send a fax from my car” All true to his experience in life.
Dang, Most people don’t go so in depth, but I like it. Anyways yea people have to stay open minded because it’s the only way the world will make it! Thank you for being part of the family. 🙏

These three HARD CORE PUNK ROCKERS forever changed HIP HOP. Their influence is undeniable. ✌
They're not "Hard Core", they played a style of Punk Rock called "Hardcore" invented by their mentors, the Bad Brains.
Beastie Boys were honored at “Hip Hop Honors” for their contributions. You should react to the video.
Or when to rap Sucker MCs at one of those MTV shows
Kills me to know there will never be new Beasties music again but I get why. Another good one off that album is Nonstop Disco Powerpack. The flow is unreal.
Agree, they were not biting a style, they carved their own path and started well before rap was a real industry. There will never be another.
It kills me as well but makes me love them at the same time. They are keeping their word to MCA. I respect them so much for that. They have tons of unreleased stuff to inwould love to here.
@@chopydaveYep. Tons of respect to them.
They use a lot of samples, but they do play instruments as well.
MCA- Bass/Keyboards
MikeD- Drums
AdRock- Guitar
interesting fact, that concert footage in this video is from Boneroo, which was the last Beastie Boys concert ever, not long after that show, MCA announced he had cancer and he died a while after that. So this video is extra sad.
I came on here just to say that. How great that they made a video with footage from that show
LEGENDS! All four of these guys on this track!

beastie started as punk rockers. yes they know all the instruments
They play all their instruments in all their songs
They do have songs were they play their instruments, but they also use lots of samples of other musicians. So your claim is just wrong.
Skills to pay the bills!!
Great video man, loving the Beastie Boys reactions.
Thank you! 🙏
