"Cause life aint nothin' but a good groove, A good mix-tape to put you in the right mood." Best song from one of the best Beastie Boys albums. Thanks for posting this.
A year or two before MCA became ill (not that kind of ILL), he called MC Serch's show, "Serch in the Morning" in Detroit and they discussed this battle. Serch said something to the effect of: "damn when you [MCA] came with that verse I was shocked and didnt know how to respond". This track, while a little late, definately shut 3rd Base's shit down. RIP MCA. A true one of a kind.
Yes, I got more bounce than the fucking bump And then you want to know why because I'm motherfuckin' truckin' I'm in the pocket just like Grady Tate Got supplies of beats so you don't have to wait 'Cause I'm the master blaster, drinking up the shasta My voice sounds sweet 'cause it has to (looking good!) So light a match to my ass 'cause I'm blowin' up I'd like to thank the people for just showin' up But now I want y'all to move it Put your point on the floor and just prove it And I'm smurfin', not rehearsin', gettin' live, y'all A little puffy, so you know what, I'm doin' right 'Cause that's the kind of frame of mind I'm in I got this feelin' that it's back again So don't touch me, 'cause I'm electric And if you touch me, you'll get shocked You got, you got, you got, you got, you got You've got the boomin' system, but it's sloshing out doo-doo You think it's chocolate milk, but it's watered down Yoo-hoo I've been through many times in which I thought I might lose it The only thing that saved me, has always been music We've got our own studio, the Son of the G It's no question, life's been good to me 'Cause life ain't nothing but a good groove A good mixtape to put you in the right mood This one goes out to my man, the Groove Merchant Coming through with beats for which I've been searching Like two sealed copies, of Expansions I'm like Tom Vu with yachts and mansions The logo I sport is the face of the monkey Union made, Ben Davis-quality, it's no junk, see? My chrome is shining, just like an icicle I ride around town in my low-rider bicyle So many wack emcees, you get the TV bozak Ain't even gonna call out your names, 'cause you're so wack And one big oaf, who's faker than plastic A dictionary definition of the word spastic You should have never started something that you couldn't finish 'Cause writin' rhymes to me is like Popeye to spinach I'm bad ass, move ya' fat ass, 'cause you're wack, son Dancing around like you think you're Janet Jackson Thought you could walk on me to get some ground to walk on I'll put the rug out under your ass as I talk on I'll take you out like a sniper on a roof Like an emcee at the fever in the DJ booth With your headphones strapped, you're rockin' rewind/pause Tryin' to figure out what you can do to go for yours But like a pencil to a paper, I got more to come One after another, you can all get some So you better take your time, and meditate on your rhyme 'Cause your shit'll be stinkin' when I go for mine And that's right, y'all, don't get uptight, y'all You can't say shit because you're biting what I write, y'all And that's wrong, y'all, over the long haul You can't cut the mustard when you're fronting it all
Most of us are Beastie fans because we're fed up with all the negative dark shit, so many rappers try to put out now. And still are.The Beasties are about having a good time and have never lost their sense of humor in spite of all their ups and downs. Says a lot about them doesn't it!?! Music doesn't always have to be about the worst things a person goes through in life. Sometimes you needs something to make you laugh.
always thought this was one of the beasties strongest pieces lyrics wise. adrock just brings the hype, mike brings the truth and yauch brings the classic 3rd bass diss.
One of my favorite songs from my number one favorite band of all time. I can't even walk down the street without Beastie boys lyrics bouncing in my mind. Love and respect forever MCA 👍👍👍👍👍
This song is also a awesome time machine. I’ve been transported to the past, It’s now 1994 and I’m riding my GT interceptor to the jumps listening to my Sony Discman
I lost this album, and I was reading a book called "check the technique" and the beastie's are talking about the making of this album, and when asked if he was dissing Serch, MCA said "I'm not at liberty to comment on that" lol. And Mario C said "Serch was just somebody to pick on-a dude on tv dancing around like a fool.So Yauch just dissed him." haha
Most creative, hard changin, all over the place crazy beats....."you got the boomin system but it's flushin out doo doo, you think it's chocolate milk but it's watered down you hoo" WTF???
been reading the most brilliant book where Beastie Boys flows and everything are looked at, and it has amazin interrviewes with all the classic and best rappers, the book that i mean is called - HOW'''TO..RAP
best album to stone to :D great musicianship! even if its hard to see, its definatly there and you have to get past all the satire and childishness to find it.
you got! you got! you got! you got! you got! you got the boomin system but its slicin out doo doo you thinks choclate milk but its watered down yoo hoo.
The whole part that comes before that on the album is hilarious as well: "Cause your wild, man, wild. Yo, that's insane man. You should sleep late, it's much easier on you constitution."
This is definitely MCA’s strongest flow. Freaking brilliant.
Foe sure he goes off on MCSearch
100 “better take the time and meditate on your rhyme “ 🎩😎
I'll take ya out like s sniper on a roof- Like a MC with the flavor in the DJ booth!
One of the few times he did diss lyrics. Aimed at MC Serch
Pretty good.
"Shut the fuck up Chico-Man" Is my favorite part.
+Moby Dick I didnt know they beefed..what other songs did they diss each other on?
Rick Harding Mike D use to throw empty pizza boxes at mc serch to let him know how bad he sucked. Read it in a rolling Stone.
No one can touch the Beastie boys. No one.
My chrome is shinin just like an icicle...I ride around town on my lowrider bicycle.
"Cause life aint nothin' but a good groove,
A good mix-tape to put you in the right mood."
Best song from one of the best Beastie Boys albums.
Thanks for posting this.
@Charles Paulk: Amen to that statement! #GoodCall #MikeD #BeastieBoysFan4Life 😎🎵♥️✌️
Glad that this is featured - shows their talent. Especially MCA's final verse - absolutely killer. Can't wait for new album
"Dancin around like you think you're Janet Jackson" Serch gave me duce chills when he danced!!! Loved every bar yaucht threw on em.
It will never get old
My favorite MCA verse
Jaz Ali rip
You shoulda never started something that you couldn't finish, coz whack rhyems to me Is like popye to spinach".
Jaz Ali Was?
@@donaldware3085 lol he didnt even say "was"
When his verse starts, the volume usually goes to max
"Cause life ain't nothing but a good groove/A good mixtape to put you in the right mood."
True. 😏

I heard about that discussion and tried to find it online but the link was dead. any idea where that can be found?
Nah. It's no longer on the web.
I see, thanks
MCA Legendary. Up in heaven rappin' to the angels.
Yes, I got more bounce than the fucking bump
And then you want to know why because I'm motherfuckin' truckin'
I'm in the pocket just like Grady Tate
Got supplies of beats so you don't have to wait
'Cause I'm the master blaster, drinking up the shasta
My voice sounds sweet 'cause it has to (looking good!)
So light a match to my ass 'cause I'm blowin' up
I'd like to thank the people for just showin' up
But now I want y'all to move it
Put your point on the floor and just prove it
And I'm smurfin', not rehearsin', gettin' live, y'all
A little puffy, so you know what, I'm doin' right
'Cause that's the kind of frame of mind I'm in
I got this feelin' that it's back again
So don't touch me, 'cause I'm electric
And if you touch me, you'll get shocked
You got, you got, you got, you got, you got
You've got the boomin' system, but it's sloshing out doo-doo
You think it's chocolate milk, but it's watered down Yoo-hoo
I've been through many times in which I thought I might lose it
The only thing that saved me, has always been music
We've got our own studio, the Son of the G
It's no question, life's been good to me
'Cause life ain't nothing but a good groove
A good mixtape to put you in the right mood
This one goes out to my man, the Groove Merchant
Coming through with beats for which I've been searching
Like two sealed copies, of Expansions
I'm like Tom Vu with yachts and mansions
The logo I sport is the face of the monkey
Union made, Ben Davis-quality, it's no junk, see?
My chrome is shining, just like an icicle
I ride around town in my low-rider bicyle
So many wack emcees, you get the TV bozak
Ain't even gonna call out your names, 'cause you're so wack
And one big oaf, who's faker than plastic
A dictionary definition of the word spastic
You should have never started something that you couldn't finish
'Cause writin' rhymes to me is like Popeye to spinach
I'm bad ass, move ya' fat ass, 'cause you're wack, son
Dancing around like you think you're Janet Jackson
Thought you could walk on me to get some ground to walk on
I'll put the rug out under your ass as I talk on
I'll take you out like a sniper on a roof
Like an emcee at the fever in the DJ booth
With your headphones strapped, you're rockin' rewind/pause
Tryin' to figure out what you can do to go for yours
But like a pencil to a paper, I got more to come
One after another, you can all get some
So you better take your time, and meditate on your rhyme
'Cause your shit'll be stinkin' when I go for mine
And that's right, y'all, don't get uptight, y'all
You can't say shit because you're biting what I write, y'all
And that's wrong, y'all, over the long haul
You can't cut the mustard when you're fronting it all
McA's greatest line. My favorite song from the band.
MCA's verse... fucking chills every time
A good mix tape will put you in the right mood.
Mca killed it on this track
yet another CD i burned a hole through listening to it so much!
saw these guys at Hullabalooza around mid`90s..
wish we could do it again..
B`Boys!
CD’s already have a hole in them

Although they shot Betty Crocker..she doesn't bake no more
Why isn't Mike D talked about as much as guys like Questlove or Stanton Moore? He can REALLY groove, and this song is the perfect example of that.
Hands down the best Beasties ever ever
💯
always thought this was one of the beasties strongest pieces lyrics wise. adrock just brings the hype, mike brings the truth and yauch brings the classic 3rd bass diss.
This 1 of the Best Songs I’ve Ever Heard. I love All The Mixing Scratching & the Breathing / Beats at the End
A GOOD MIXTAPE CAN PUT YOU IN THE RIGHT MOOD.
how true is that, goddamn?!?
These lyrics still are on point twenty years later.
30 years later
I miss this stuff bring this back
First release on Check Your Head. I remember going to the record release party for this album. Damn
MCA’s best solo versus ever

Dope groove.
One of my faves of all time.
Great fucking album front-to-back. Gratitude!

And Mario C said "Serch was just somebody to pick on-a dude on tv dancing around like a fool.So Yauch just dissed him." haha
This track is amazing. They all rap perfectly with the beat. It’s like a lesson on how to make a hip hop song.
Like a pencil to the paper, I got more to come...one after another, you can all get some

htmensch MC Search of 3rd Bass, as well as all of the members of 3rd Bass
The whole part that comes before that on the album is hilarious as well: "Cause your wild, man, wild. Yo, that's insane man. You should sleep late, it's much easier on you constitution."
