If that album would have come out this era, it would be more appreciated.
@@williamyates694 None of what you said means they didn't start as a punk band nor does it change the fact that the original lineup was 4 people. Think before you speak.
@@censorshipsucks9493Streets of San Francisco, is the show this taken from. Early 70s. Go checkout the opening for the show, you will see what I mean.
Fun Fact: The video was nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards, but didn't win any (Video of the Year went to "Cryin'" by Aerosmith). When the award for Best Direction went to R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts," Adam Yauch (MCA) rushed the stage and got to the podium while Michael Stipe was getting his trophy. Yauch was in character as his alter ego, Nathanial Hornblower, wearing a huge fake moustache and lederhosen. This was the first such intrusion in the history of the show, pre-dating Kanye West's takeover of Taylor Swift's speech by 15 years. Yauch's stunt was baffling, as only the biggest Beastie Boys fans were familiar with Nathanial Hornblower. He and the group suffered no fallout from it, as the network figured boys would be (Beastie) boys. They were given the Video Vanguard award in 1998. - This Song Was In Two Rhythm Games. Guitar Hero 3 And Rock Band.
And in 2000 Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine climbed a piece of set scaffolding and refused to come down after his band lost the award for Best Rock Video to Limp Bizkit.
Yes!! That’s the one I would always suggest for anyone starting off with the Beasties. Works for people who’ve had a bit of experience with them, too, of course. All fire! 🔥 🔥🔥
Amber - they were still making music in 2011, one year before MCA died. They did have their biggest hits in the 80s and 90s, I'd say, but they definitely kept going for the duration. He was diagnosed with cancer a few years before, but was receiving treatment and had seemingly been doing better. His death was such a sad shock for their fans, and the other two chose to just disband, rather than go on without their friend.
They're an ACTUAL band!!! To see them live... ACTUALLY playing the music is a great thing to see in person!! Can't believe it's been over 30 years since I've seen them. You should find a live performance of this. I think the MTV awards show from 1993 is worth finding.👍🏾
RIP MCA we miss and love you. They started as Punk Metal but loved all types of music and slid into rap. Ick Rubin and the Boys close friendship with Run DMC (even sharing equipment) created these pioneers of rap.
I got to see the BOYS 6x between 1990-2007 (last was at Red Rocks). They started out as punk. They play their own instruments. They were phenomenal live.
“Like many Beastie Boys songs, the lyrics are an in-joke among the band & crew. When they were making Ill Communication, they weren't very productive (they had a basketball hoop and skate ramp in their studio, which may have kept them from doing actual work). Their producer, Mario Caldato, was nearing the end of his rope, frustrated with their lack of progress. He implored them to finish a song, even if it was just an instrumental, so Adam "King Ad-Rock" Horovitz, in full smart-ass mode, quickly spat out a verse about how Caldato was "sabotaging" them by making them work and impeding their creative brilliance. That became the song's theme, which they put to an instrumental track they had already made. The song ended up being the lead single and biggest hit from the album.” - SongFacts
They were so innovative! I was born in 1975 & I LOVE them! My fiancé told Me the most respectful “pit” & attendees were from the Beastie Boys concerts He ever attended!
This song kicked my tush when it came out. I'm an old school Beasties fan from the 80's (Gen X) and Sabotage kicked it! I still love it, I cannot sit still when this song comes one. The best use of this song was when it was playing as young James T. Kirk was running from the authorities as a kid in Iowa in the Star Trek 2007 movie. :)
The videos from this record are like a line in the sand. These were the last great MTV videos. You already felt the ending was near but I knew that nobody was ever going to do it like this again. The writing was on the wall with MTV beginning to do more shows than videos at this point.
Love this era of Beastie Boys. On fire with the 90s classics today. Check out Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim Remix), which is the single version and the version in the clip to it, next!
"What'cha want"definitely should be next view. The beastie boys history is wonderful and the fact they actually played their own instruments blew my mind when I saw them on the MTV awards show promoting this track
This is arguably their most iconic song. When they were inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame the audience went crazy when Sabotage was performed. Plus, it has been used twice in recent Star Trek movies and in other movies/shows.
"I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle" is one of the best lines in their arsenal. Only the Beasties could drop a 60's reference in an iconic song 30 years later. Talk about a group that could bend and meld genres. Badass.
I had an ex sheriff's car just like the one in the video when that song was released. Needless to say, the new nickname for my car was "sabotage", which was also on repeat in the tape-deck non-stop. Great song, great memories!
Beastie Boys were a hardcore punk band before they moved into rap. They were members of The Young Aborigines who formed The Beastie Boys, where Kate Schellenbach was the drummer, who went on to be the drummer for Luscious Jackson. Egg Raid On MOJO is one of their most recognized songs from that time, but it's pretty obscure.
The Beastie Boys started as a punk band that moved into rap very early on, but never lost their musical chops and mixed both all the time. In most videos you see them perform rap style, but live they played their own instruments plus had a DJ. If you listen to their albums that rock music side is clearer. Love these guys!!
These guys are iconic. For those of us who grew up in the late 80-90s. They released an album called aglio de oleo(sp) which featured their original punk writing. They surprised us in the late 90s by doing a pop up show at a place called the Bomb Factory in North Texas. I'm happy that my 11 year old has been exposed to these guys. They're so important to the musical landscape.
The Beasties started as a hardcore band, and on their third and fourth albums, Check Your Head and Ill Communication, they began to weave hardcore into them. Some of these are very straight hardcore tracks, like Heart Attack Man or Tough Guy...a full on throwback to their days opening for Bad Brains. Others, like Sabotage, pull hardcore through the lens of hip-hop production, with effects and scratches more typical of 90s rap. The Boys loved music, from punk to funk, and they repped their influences from all genres.
Beastie Boys were originally a punk band, but they got into hip hop and started rapping. They all played their own instruments. Ad-rock played guitar, MCA played the bass, and Mike D was the drummer. They would occasionally have punk songs or laid back chill instrumentals on their albums mixed in with all the rap tracks. My favorite Beastie Boys punk song is probably "Time for Livin' " or "Gratitude". Some good Beastie Boys rap tracks y'all really should check out is "Three MC's and One DJ" and "Root Down". As a young skateboarder in the late 80s and early 90s that mostly listened to punk, the Beastie Boys was the only rap that I'd listen to. Eventually, they opened a door for me so that I'd be more open to checking out other rap. RIP MCA.
The Beastie Boys were first and foremost a rap group. They had songs that dabbled in rock, like "Fight for your Right", "No Sleep Til Brooklyn", and this one, but their repertoire is primarily rap.
They are definitely a band. Their albums are heavy on rap and hip hop, but there is also elements and songs of rocks and hardcore. They even have a good amount of great instrumental tracks ranging from chill lounge music to jazzy explorations with hip hop influence. You’ve probably heard their instrumental music as “bumper” music (going into and coming out of advertising breaks) on radio shows and podcasts.
Beasties started as hardcore punk before integrating hip hop into their sound.. they're dope legends because they infused both amazing genres effortlessly and are legends because they're arguably one of the 1st to do it, if not the first.
The Beastie Boys rekeased 8 albums from the debut in 1986 to 2011. They started as a punk band before branching into rap. They opened for Adonna in 1985, a year before their debut. They gave Rick Rubin LL Cool J's demo tape, which is how he got signed to Def Jam. Rick Runin was their first DJ. The video was directed by Spike Jonze. He also did the Buddy Holly video by Weezer. Spike was also an occasional actor and was the third gy in Three Kings with George Clooney and Ice Cube.
This album (Ill Communication) dropped in 1994. It's a masterpiece. This song in particular, paired with this video took over the world. These guys were so unique and talented.
Remember, these guys were a hardcore punk band first, then they delved into hip hop, then came full circle when they started putting out albums where they played instruments and sang rock songs, they freely bounce between genres and try express themselves through whatever medium is available to them. The Beasties will always be one of my favorite groups because my tastes in music also swings between hip hop, punk, metal, mainstream rock and pop...who else does a better job encapsulating all that than the Beasties?
Beastie Boys were originally a hardcore punk band before they started rapping.
A Great time for melding Hip-hop, Punk, and Metal.
Correctomundo!
True, but not with the 3 of these guys in the lineup. Once these 3 got together, they switched genres.
Cooky Puss, Man!!!
They were more punk when they were still The BESTIE Boys ;)
Sabotage live on letterman is epic!! Must watch!!
Yeah, most people don't realize they could play instruments as well. So cool to see them nail it.
Pin it!
I'm so glad somebody mentioned the Letterman live performance early in the comments. It was Iconic!
The Letterman performance is epic, and find the live B&W performance, I think in Glasgow. The energy is insane.
definitely!
Are they Rock or Rap? Yes. Are they Rap or Hip Hop? Yes. Are they a band or a group? Yes. Are they the GOAT? Hell yes.
they are also jazz!
@@EmbassyNerdcore Yes!
😂
"So whatcha' want?" "Root Down" "3 MC's and 1 DJ" "Ch-Check it out" The list is endless.
Pass the mic
Gotta do The New Style... just for that part.
"Shake Your Rump" is one of the best.
Jimmy James, Shake your Rump, Shadrach, Posse In Effect, Paul Revere, etc..... LOL They evolutionized the rap game. Paul's Boutique very underrated. I remember the media and casual fans trashed the second album(not me). Then like after five to ten years went by people that were casual fans started appreciating the second album. I think the second album people were expecting a License to Ill part 2 and they got a different sound that was years ahead of its time.

"Three MCs and One DJ" A MUST SEE!!
Yessss!
Hells yeah!
This is the one.
Don't forget "Hey ladies"!!
I’ve requested this so many times.
They actually started as a punk band. They all play instruments too and create all the music in their songs. One of one. That’s why they’re legends
And had a 4th member, Kate. Egg raid on mojo.
@@nickkautzman9711Nope. The truth is that they admit to is that after they made it they wanted to learn other things. Good lord lol!!!
@@williamyates694 None of what you said means they didn't start as a punk band nor does it change the fact that the original lineup was 4 people. Think before you speak.
The live version on SNL back in the day is a must watch!!
They always sounded more Public Image Ltd than Public Enemy
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT blew up MTV and made Beastie Boys a household name in the 80s.
If you haven’t, a FFYR reaction is a must!
probably one of those that got taken down...
YES 🙌🏽
Sabotage is the greatest music video. The 70's and early 80's cop TV show theme is perfect.
If you never watched 70s cop shows you won’t realize how much of this video and the sound comes from those
Straight out of Starsky and Hutch.
@@censorshipsucks9493Streets of San Francisco, is the show this taken from. Early 70s. Go checkout the opening for the show, you will see what I mean.
Always with the sliding over car hoods.
they didn't even talk about the video lol
It didnt seem like she was watching the video as much as listening to the music, video is awesome along with the song.
Fun Fact: The video was nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards, but didn't win any (Video of the Year went to "Cryin'" by Aerosmith). When the award for Best Direction went to R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts," Adam Yauch (MCA) rushed the stage and got to the podium while Michael Stipe was getting his trophy. Yauch was in character as his alter ego, Nathanial Hornblower, wearing a huge fake moustache and lederhosen.
This was the first such intrusion in the history of the show, pre-dating Kanye West's takeover of Taylor Swift's speech by 15 years. Yauch's stunt was baffling, as only the biggest Beastie Boys fans were familiar with Nathanial Hornblower. He and the group suffered no fallout from it, as the network figured boys would be (Beastie) boys. They were given the Video Vanguard award in 1998.
- This Song Was In Two Rhythm Games. Guitar Hero 3 And Rock Band.
I remember that! It was hilarious.
Ol Dirty Bastard's stage rush was always very wild
The video is made by Spike Jonze 🙂 A total nutter (in a good way)... he gave himself the main role in the video of Fatboy Slim's Praise You 🙂
And in 2000 Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine climbed a piece of set scaffolding and refused to come down after his band lost the award for Best Rock Video to Limp Bizkit.
A classic moment, though I wish he'd interrupted Aerosmith. Cryin in no way deserved to beat out Sabotage.
Next up should be So Whatcha Want.
🫶YES!!!!!!🫶
Yassss.
Yes!! That’s the one I would always suggest for anyone starting off with the Beasties. Works for people who’ve had a bit of experience with them, too, of course. All fire! 🔥 🔥🔥
Can’t ‘front on that.
I don’t think they have done Sure Shot either
Amber - they were still making music in 2011, one year before MCA died. They did have their biggest hits in the 80s and 90s, I'd say, but they definitely kept going for the duration.

I honestly have always loved them for stopping when they did instead of trying to go on without him or replace him.
Hot Sauce Committee Part Two was a great album. Especially "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" with Santigold.
@@thefredricksons8150 Same! I mean I obviously miss getting new music from them, but I totally respect what they did to honor him.
Three Mc and one dj. A classic.
Y’all will friggin’ LOVE it. Filmed live.
A must.
THE BEST
Young James Kirk can't be stealing corvettes without this song! 😎
Is that classical music?
The perfect song for that scene. ❤it!
The Beastie Boys span so many genres, from hip-hop to punk rock!
Their instrumental album is amazing!
That would be TWO genres
@@Pugiron There's about 100 genres from hip-hop to punk.
I went to a live show of their instrumental album, it was excellent!
They have at least two instrumental albums: The In Sound From Way Out and the Mix-Up.
@@Pugiron Punk, Hardcore, Rap, Hip-Hop, Funk Fusion, the list goes on.
They had me at, "..I'm a set straight this Watergate.." I'm old enough to remember all that Nixon stuff. 😊
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle
Beasties started out punk rock. 😉 It's fun to watch them play this live.
Hey Ladies! Is a must hear song! You will love it. It's super funky!
The look of this video is exactly what 70's TV (and 80's daytime TV reruns) looked like.
-Check it out
-Sure Shot
-Watcha want
-3 MC's and one DJ
Gratitude
Get it together
B-Boys making with the freak freak
-Shake your rump
Good list
They’re a hip hop group, they’re a punk band, they’re music.
They're an ACTUAL band!!! To see them live... ACTUALLY playing the music is a great thing to see in person!! Can't believe it's been over 30 years since I've seen them. You should find a live performance of this. I think the MTV awards show from 1993 is worth finding.👍🏾
YEAH!!! BEASTIE BOYS!! You should react to So Whatcha Want, Hey Ladies, Root Down or Three MC's and One DJ
"Or"? definitely an "and" 😉
I endorse this list.
I hope this stays up. You guys reactions to this is priceless
RIP MCA we miss and love you. They started as Punk Metal but loved all types of music and slid into rap. Ick Rubin and the Boys close friendship with Run DMC (even sharing equipment) created these pioneers of rap.
The video is a throw back to great cop shows like Mannix and Starsky and Hutch.
70's Cop/Detective Shows---the peak of TV (and the best theme music too!).
@@dphalanx7465 the best!
3 MC's and 1 DJ, a must listen!
You NEED to watch the live version of this they did on Letterman. It's so amazing.
I got to see the BOYS 6x between 1990-2007 (last was at Red Rocks). They started out as punk. They play their own instruments. They were phenomenal live.
You gotta do their song - Whatcha Want?

Mario C likes to keep it clean
3 MC's and 1 DJ by the Beasties is incredible. The performance video is unbelievable.
Wait... you haven't seen (You Gotta) "Fight For Your Right" (To Party)? When that song came out it was huge; and I mean HUGE!!!!
The song that put them on the map. Gen X's battle cry, ha.
One of my core memories is riding the bus to school listening to Licensed To Ill on my new Sony Disk man when it debuted. ;). ✨💕
THAT Bassline
Next up, "Shake Your Rump"!
I said "Root Down" or "Sure Shot", but I'll put "Shake Your Rump" in that group too.
"Shake Your Rump" is gonna blow your mind-- can't wait for you to get to it!
They were so innovative! I was born in 1975 & I LOVE them! My fiancé told Me the most respectful “pit” & attendees were from the Beastie Boys concerts He ever attended!
Man, I’m feeling my age watching this, because all I could think was “all that running, I’m exhausted just watching it” :(
They started as a punk band, and played the instruments on this song, and many others.
3 MCs and 1 DJ is a must...
This was one of their best songs ever!!!
This song kicked my tush when it came out. I'm an old school Beasties fan from the 80's (Gen X) and Sabotage kicked it! I still love it, I cannot sit still when this song comes one.

They’re a band. Adrock plays guitar, MCA bass, Mike D drums.
The "Paul's Boutique" album is a MUST reaction!
Literally every single track ❤
It's a masterpiece!
The videos from this record are like a line in the sand. These were the last great MTV videos. You already felt the ending was near but I knew that nobody was ever going to do it like this again. The writing was on the wall with MTV beginning to do more shows than videos at this point.
Can't believe you didn't instantly start laughing at the wigs and moustaches!
This is my all time fave song by the Beasties!!! ❤️🤘
Love this era of Beastie Boys. On fire with the 90s classics today. Check out Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim Remix), which is the single version and the version in the clip to it, next!
"Girls" is a great fun one. My fav Beastie Boys song
Brass Monkey, No Sleep Till Brooklyn, Fight For Your Right, Paul Revere, and Hold It Now, Hit It. Just the whole Licensed To Ill album.
Yeah... I always forget just how many great songs they had!
"PASS THE MIC" is another great song 👍 👍
"What'cha want"definitely should be next view. The beastie boys history is wonderful and the fact they actually played their own instruments blew my mind when I saw them on the MTV awards show promoting this track
"Sabotage" and "Brass Monkey" are my favorite Beastie Boys tunes but "Sure Shott" is up there and highly recommend.
Yes, gotta love "Brass Monkey"!
“Gratitude” by Beastie Boys is a rockin’ one too.
Don't forget the song no sleep till Brooklyn
This is arguably their most iconic song. When they were inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame the audience went crazy when Sabotage was performed. Plus, it has been used twice in recent Star Trek movies and in other movies/shows.
If you watched the Star Trek reboot films, this song was used in the first film and in Star Trek: Beyond.
This song was called classical music in Star Trek Beyond.
Three MCs and One DJ video is fantastico 🎉
Gotta be my favorite Beastie Boys tune. No matter how I'm feelin', I always crack it up and get absolutely pumped up after listening to Sabotage.
Honestly, one of the greatest videos ever made! The Beastie Boys weren’t only pioneers of Hip Hop. The were changing the video game as well.
"I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle" is one of the best lines in their arsenal. Only the Beasties could drop a 60's reference in an iconic song 30 years later. Talk about a group that could bend and meld genres. Badass.
One of thee best videos ever made!! A total love letter to 70's TV cop shows. Never gets old and still kicks ass!!!
I had an ex sheriff's car just like the one in the video when that song was released. Needless to say, the new nickname for my car was "sabotage", which was also on repeat in the tape-deck non-stop. Great song, great memories!
Best song from Bestie boys. period.
Absolutely THE BEST concerts I went to as a kid! Very high energy
“Shake your rump” deep bass and that cadence you all love.
Says his favorite Beastie Boys song is No Sleep Till Brooklyn. Immediately forgets that they do rock too. 😂
Aaah the beastie boys rabbit hole begins. Every song a true original
The Beastie Boys are iconic! It was a thrill to meet them at the Rocky Point Amusement Park in Rhode Island in the summer of 1993.
Oh that unlocked a childhood memory! 70's kid me at Rocky Point every summer😊

This song starts at 100 and never lets off the gas! So good, I hope it doesn't get blocked either : ) I love their "1980's cop show" parody.
Beastie Boys literally have a full instrument only jazz album. They are unbelievably talented.
The Beasties started as a hardcore band, and on their third and fourth albums, Check Your Head and Ill Communication, they began to weave hardcore into them.

One of the best. This music video was on MTV multiple times a day, every day for months when I was in college, back when MTV featured videos all day.
ROOT DOWN! SUCH a vibe. Coolest song by them. Funky and fierce.
Beastie Boys actually started as a punk band!!! So Sabotage was them going back to their roots!! Great song!!!
And also they are both a band and a group, they play their own instruments. Adrock plays guitar, MCA plays stand up bass, Mike D plays drums.
