  • Some live footage of when the Beastie Boys were a punk band. A damn good one, too. This was back in 1980-something. You can find the whole set on UA-cam, this was just a song that hasn't been posted on its own yet. You should consider checking it out, it has a pretty good live version of Egg Raid on Mojo.
    If you're looking to find more Beastie Boys punk stuff, look for the Polly Wog Stew EP, or the Aglio e Olio EP. Both are probably all you'll need to sate your Beastie-Punk needs.

    Punk and hip hop back in early 80's is classified as underground music.
    At time classic rock is mainstream. So many hip hop musician and punk musician play their music just at small street gigs. So they absolutely have relationship each others

      Yes sir back in the early 80’s I had a relationship with EVERYONE. All the hip hop artist and all the punk rock artist. All of them would come in my club and play and come up. I am so happy I am able to pass off my club to my kids and they can come up the same way I did and be on the for front of new music like I was. Good bless music.

    Holy crap Mike D sounds like a dying cat. Sure glad they changed up from punk. Luck for Schellenbach that it only took a few years for her the find a great band after she left. I've heard two versions....she left because she didn't like the new direction they were going to away from punk. The other was that she was booted for the same reason and that she didn't fit in anymore. Not sure which is true other than it was definitely due to moving on from punk.

    Having a punk spirit and philosophy does not imply wearing a crest on your head and always making the same music that the establishment has decided that to make punk music there is only one way and you should always do it the same. Pure bullshit.
    Do it yourself and do it your way. That is punk, and that is being punk.

They released some pretty interesting demos before that album dropped tho. A lot of people dont realise they were a punk band.

      Punk vocals are more than just melodic singing, it's about raw emotion. You're right, sometimes they do just scream, but it isn't real criticism because people can value the emotion of it over the conformity of a sequence of pretty sounding pitches. The value of good music transcends the simple auditory sounds one can produce.
