Imagine waking up in 2024 and you get to experience all of Beastie Boys for the very first time. It's like having a life time worth of Christmas days all at once.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but they played all the instruments on the album. That’s their drum beat, their guitar lick, their electric piano. They were so far ahead of their time that their music will be played forever.
GENX Here, this is the first album I ever bought in 1985 - it broke all the rules and we loved it. It was about freedom, it empowered us to scream, flip our bikes and kick our skateboards. Later in life i got to see them live playing with Rage Against the Machine - nothing has ever topped that concert - it was a force of nature.
I saw them in ATL, Chastain park. Lenny Kravitz opened for them. It was fun...mosh pits and also room to dance on the grass. I also saw Cyprus Hill and House of Pain opened for them...they rolled out this massive hand with a lit J blowing smoke to the crowd.
It's wild how the mind works. I hadn't heard this song in years, and I started singing it word for word like it was yesterday. It's been almost 40 years since I bought their debut album/cassette tape. ❤❤❤ Paul Revere was my jam!
When the Beastie Boys released the Paul's Boutique album which mixed samples from 105 songs, they forever changed the music industry regarding copyright laws. The rules had to be changed to ensure it could never happen again, and it never did.
They caught so much hate for that album, it was released 5 years before people would be ready for that shit. Quite possibly one of the top 3 albums of all time.
Run-DMC was adding rock guitar to hip hop before this came out. Beasties were a punk parody band until they turned to rap, and started as a rap parody band. But by the time of "So What'Cha Want" they were playing instruments.
@@JymDyerthe Beastie Boys started as a hardcore punk band, not as a parody band. When hip hop started getting its bearings in the late 70’s-early ‘80s, they realized that a lot of what they were doing fit really well with hip hop, and they pivoted to a mixture of punk and hip hop. Then, they found their groove with Paul’s Boutique, and the rest is history. The Beastie Boys are hip hop royalty.
This 54 yr old lady who used to ride around with her 4 best friends and rap every lyric with the boys in the 80s has a warmed heart seeing a youngin discovering them. ❤
For those arguing about wether the B Boys were in at the start of Hip Hop - Old School Hip Hop was around a few years before the B Boys. Rappers Delight hit the radio in '79, 5 years before the B Boys signed to Def Jam. BUT the B Boys were in on the ground floor of New School and played a massive (if not the biggest) part in sending hip hop mainstream. The B Boys also gave LLCool J his first break by getting him signed to Def Jam. Their impact on todays Hip Hop scene is vastly understated.
What I find fascinating is that the tape loops are actually cassette tapes cut up and pasted back together to create the loops and samples... No electronic wizardry in 1992.
actually interesting how closly connected both genres are ... DJ Premier said about himself he used to be part of the Texas punk scene, too, before he turned to hip hop
As old and sad as I feel when I realise so many young people don't know this band, it always makes me smile to see them discover what they're missing. This album in particular! RIP MCA xx
The Beastie Boys blew doors off everyone. They came up in the hardcore scene and through exploration and collaboration, they created the now indelible, indestructible, indominable Beastie Boys sound. I'd call them GOATS but there ain't ever been another animal like this before. RIP MCA.
this really makes me realize what we had as kids. in the 90's there were about 1000 bands and 1000 singers and 1000 hip hop artists in the mix, and all of them were great, and we just kinda took all them in because they were there. when you isolate some of the biggest ones like Beastie Boys and show them to enthusiastic newcomers, you really get a sense of how good we had it. I don't even remember the first time I heard them, I'm sure I was like 8-12 years old, but now I really wish I could go back and hear them for the first time again.
If you've never heard Beastie Boys before, you're in for a treat. They are the GOATs. Period. They only made bangers, great human beings, their sound evolved each album over their 30 year career. In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame too. Discovered LL Cool J. Influenced countless artists to this day. Check out "Paul Revere", "Shake Your Rump", "Pass the Mic", "Shadrach". Just incredible everything, they play and make all their own beats too when they arent sampling something.
this is a beautiful and accurate understating of just how important Beastie Boys were to hip hop. being the 1st rap album to top the billboard 200 charts in 1987 opened the genre up to WAY more ears than had ever been on it before. the fact that they were well respected by the community even though they were white in an at the time black genre of music brought the genre to white suburban youths all over the country, making it ok to stop segregating music by race which was a big thing in older generations. what they did for music and culture let alone for hip hop can never be praised enough!
One of my most cherished moments was when I was in the front row at their concert for this album’s tour. As MCA was starting this verse I got his attention by luck while I was rapping the lyrics back at ‘em, and we got to rap this “hot sauce” line together while were looking at each other. He rapped at me until the end of the verse, almost as if to see if I knew the whole thing. At the end of the verse he smiled and did a hand gesture at me and moved on. As a huge fan, nothing could have been cooler. Probably helped I was wearing my black “BROOKLYN” hat I picked up in New York earlier that year. MCA’s hair was green for that concert if I remember right.
What I love most about the Beastie Boys is their creativity. They have all sorts of styles and sounds throughout their decades long career. And the fact that they just rap off of each other. They are a class of their own. ❤😁
So Chuck D from Public Enemy gave the lifetime achievement award to the Beastie Boys a long time back. That's how respected and unique they were in the hip hop industry.
There's literally too many bangers to recommend. GOATS of hip hop always innovative always fresh always surprised everyone. A host of celebrities couldn't wait to be in their video on the last one before the sad day MCA left us.
It’s so much fun to see young minds blown (like ours were)😆 you’re instantly understanding why the Beasties were SO BELOVED‼️‼️ This particular track (among others) makes it perfectly clear how they came out of punk and there were always natural affinities between them. Beasties are fkg crazy fun hilarious talented AF! wild and funky all at the same time it’s a wonder of art how they crammed all that into basics! Royalty like these guys show EXACTLY why rap/hip hop took over the world. To me it incorporated the best of everything that came before and yet was new and different and KILLER ✊🏽♥️
Congratulations and welcome to the Beastie Boys. Your musical life will never be the same again. There's no one like the Beastie boys. You know they started off being a hardcore punk rock band in New York City. Then they heard Run DMC and thought well hell we can do that. And then they did that and they did that very very very very very very well indeed. I'm excited for you.
I love that you are discovering the awesome music I grew up with! I am 48 years old. This album was FIRE when I was just 18 years old, 1994. Beastie Boyz not only rapped, they played all the instruments on every song. No rapper today can touch this!
I’m 52 my friends and I still listen to them when we get together and we have em blasting and we got it all memorized huge lifelong fans since 7th or 8th grade .
Beastie’s are there own genre! They started as a punk band and saw the opportunity in hip hop and killed it. Every album saw them grow as artists but they were always original.
"This is like nothing I've ever heard." I said the same thing when I heard them the first time, but it was 1985 or so. I'm very much a rock guy, but everybody loves the Boys.
Bruh 😑( can’t be mad, you are not that old) beastie boys are the origin story they were the reason there is a Def Jam/ they are the reason we have LL cool J they are the reason for 808 . They are a corner stone of hip hop.

I was listening to these guys when I was a teenager. I'm 47 and I still jam out to Beastie Boys. 🔥 You brought up Carlton. Now I HAVE to see you do the "Carlton".😂 Fantastic reaction!!!💛💛💛
Congrats...I think this was the first reaction I've seen that caught both "Your so funny with the money that you flaunt" and "Do you think you can front when revelation comes".
Beasties are the single most unique band of all time!! They brought together so many different influences to perfection. RIP Adam Yauch. You left a giant hole in our collective hearts! Long live my all time favorite band ever!!
I love how much you enjoyed this. It’s a rabbit hole you won’t regret. They play around with their sound A LOT. Not every song like this but every song is uniquely Beastie Boys. The closest thing today is Ren.
Nope. But the Beasties were of the first generation of artists influenced by original NYC hip hop. They were around for the birth of hip hop, grew up on the early old school sound, and then put their own spin on it.
Welcome to THEE FABULOUS WORLD OF THE BEST BAND EVERRRR 💯 Been obsessed since about '87- probably way b4 u were even a thought & i LOVE how impressed u are. ❤ They actually were a lil punk band in the beginning also.
Those of us of a certain age had the Beasties from childhood right into adulthood and they were universally loved by everybody. True legends. Love seeing the yungins reacting
Go ahead and give Paul revere A try. Fight for your right to party Is no slouch of a song. And definitely please do not forget intergalactic. Remember the beastie boys Gave themselves A license to ill........ Also a gentle reminder that our mullet man Samson has Been Dropping Rap rap songs With nearly no politics. The song cesspool Will Explain it all. Much love and peace boogie. looking Healthy. Thinning up are we?
Your reaction kept the smile on my face throughout. I remember seeing this for the first time when it came out way back when. Blew my mind then, and still gets me going to this day.
I’m glad you’re learning about the greatness of the beastie boys. There is a reason that they get respect from so many MC’s. 3 punk rockers that witnessed and were a part of the birth of hip hop. Check your head is my all time favorite album because it touches so many different genres.
I forgot how great this song is,they used to play it everyday on MTV in summer 1992. Such an amazing time for all genres,this would be played alongside Metallica,Ice Cube,Nirvana and Boyz II Men plus many many others
I warms my heart and almost gives me chills hearing someone hearing this for the first time. I saw them in like 1991 or 92(give or take a year). Certainly one of the best shows I've ever seen(on acid).
I'm a metal head but these guys are LIT! Always been a fan of these guys!!! You can't help but groove to this one no matter where you are... the car, a club, home... So happy to see you digging on the Beastie Boys!!!
You have to understand the evolution of Beastie & The Boys to learning instruments and creating the rap/rock genre to fully appreciate. I'm old enough to remember when 'License to Ill' came out. It united our diverse neighborhood more than any politician ever could.
Young man, long before you were even born, they fought for your rights......to party.
😂❤

90's kid here. This was blasting out my cassette player in my 86 T-Top camaro pulling into high school in 96. Good times!
Child of the 80s/early 90's here...My 5 year old is big Beasties fan. WE blast it on the way to Soccer 3 times a week!
Let us remember, always

Boomin granny next
For real
For anybody that experiences psychedelics for the first time, I would suggest Paul’s boutique on a sound system with good bass and stereo separation
Time for you to go listen to Joey Valence and Brae!
I scanned his channel for a "Sabotage" review. I didnt see it, but I'll be waiting!
nothing makes this 58 yr old happier than seeing the next generation discover the stuff we love!
100%
The greatest.
Me too

Yep grew up when this came out as well. De La Soul three feet high and rising etc pure gold...

By me!!
After they used every sample possible on Paul's Boutique they had no choice but to do everything for themselves.
I saw them live, and was amazed, they kept switching instruments, playing each other's parts, in perfect harmony
Hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen

@scootermcscootersen3511 you are totally right. Easily their best album
Bro, they're iconic. You youngsters. The Beastie Boys helped start it all. Nothing these days comes close in creativity and longevity.
Still waiting for another group that has this kind of creativity! If they are out there and I don't know them yet, please enlighten me..anyone
Nothing today comes close to their creativity in the hip-hop world.
this is not rock n roll and hip hop. this is just hip hop. this is what hip hop used to sound like.
Raw hip hop, before the pop versions got cooked in.

Don't forget Blondie!
The thing about the Beastie Boys is that a lot of Metal Heads love this group.
License to ill was heavy and those fans stayed with them through the journey.
Cause they are metal... Wanna know why hip hop lovers love beasties?...
yup. keep in mind, kerry king himself played on one of their tracks. FrozeMetal anyone?
I love gangster rap and the heaviest heavy metal. Seems like a weird combo but it's my thing.
Kinda like Cypress Hill and Slayer, so much common ground between
They used to play Punk-rock, before turning to hip hop music, they play all the instruments themselves.
They had a drummer for their first album. SHE went on to help form Luscious Jackson.
Once they found their sweet spot they STAYED in the pocket!! Classic early hip-hop.
What I find fascinating is that the tape loops are actually cassette tapes cut up and pasted back together to create the loops and samples... No electronic wizardry in 1992.
actually interesting how closly connected both genres are ... DJ Premier said about himself he used to be part of the Texas punk scene, too, before he turned to hip hop
Kerry King from Slayer actually played lead guitar on Brooklyn & Fight.

This is original hip hop!!!
Yep! Old schoolers who certainly weren’t content with staying old school. They would always throw you something extra.
It is called talent, they took 80's NYC street culture to the masses through rap and punk rock, absolute genius.
The Beastie Boys blew doors off everyone. They came up in the hardcore scene and through exploration and collaboration, they created the now indelible, indestructible, indominable Beastie Boys sound. I'd call them GOATS but there ain't ever been another animal like this before. RIP MCA.

It's Hip Hop. They are from the start of Hip Hop
The start? They wouldn't even say that.
True, but they’ll never agree that they were extremely influential either, which they were.
Correction, they’re from the beginning of big hip hop record sales. Hip hop started before they even thought of being a group.

I love how much you enjoyed this. It’s a rabbit hole you won’t regret. They play around with their sound A LOT. Not every song like this but every song is uniquely Beastie Boys. The closest thing today is Ren.
nods at the comparison to Ren...
💯
Grew up on BBoys, SO happy you're enjoying them for the timeless awesome they are.
Beastie Boys brought 100% energy from day one to the last
I get chills whenever I listen to this song! 😅 The Beastie Boys were a force from the beginning ! 💪 Dj Hurricane with the sinister beat! 😮
2:40 there was no shortage of LSD in the 90’s. Check out those pupils.
I was into Metal & Rock but loved the Beastie Boys. They were spectacular. They could do it all. Opened my ears to hip hop and I thank them for it 👍🏼
The Beastie Boys are the co-founders of original hip-hop.
Hip hop was around way before the Beasties
Original hiphop goes back way before beastie boys.
Nope. But the Beasties were of the first generation of artists influenced by original NYC hip hop. They were around for the birth of hip hop, grew up on the early old school sound, and then put their own spin on it.
Welcome to THEE FABULOUS WORLD OF THE BEST BAND EVERRRR 💯
Been obsessed since about '87- probably way b4 u were even a thought & i LOVE how impressed u are. ❤ They actually were a lil punk band in the beginning also.
Everything the B-Boys do is great, but Paul Revere is arguably one of the greatest rap songs ever created IMO
Those of us of a certain age had the Beasties from childhood right into adulthood and they were universally loved by everybody. True legends. Love seeing the yungins reacting
Check out a track called "The Move" by these fellas. The back and forth back-to-back-to-back flows are sick and the beat(s) are wild.
It's fun to see younger generations appreciate music that I grew up with. I adored them back in the day!
Go ahead and give Paul revere A try. Fight for your right to party Is no slouch of a song. And definitely please do not forget intergalactic. Remember the beastie boys Gave themselves A license to ill........ Also a gentle reminder that our mullet man Samson has Been Dropping Rap rap songs With nearly no politics. The song cesspool Will Explain it all. Much love and peace boogie. looking Healthy. Thinning up are we?
INTERGALACTIC!!!
I grew up with Beastie Boys and still love them. But YOU made it so much better to watch. Thank you. Love the looks on your face. Your awesome
They are the GOATs of hip hop. Do “Paul Revere” next. Beastie Boys are a treat!
Your reaction kept the smile on my face throughout. I remember seeing this for the first time when it came out way back when. Blew my mind then, and still gets me going to this day.
Beastie Boys forever
Legends!!!! Loved your reaction!! Can't wait to see more of your BBoys reactions!! subscribed! Genuine Goats ............. RIP Adam............
This is ACTuAL HIP HoP !! Live Love Learn!!
They played all the usual instruments like Guitar, Drums, and Bass then added all the samples and strff. These are OG's. Gods.
Three hip hop OG's bro anything you find today don't compare.....
I’m glad you’re learning about the greatness of the beastie boys. There is a reason that they get respect from so many MC’s. 3 punk rockers that witnessed and were a part of the birth of hip hop. Check your head is my all time favorite album because it touches so many different genres.
I forgot how great this song is,they used to play it everyday on MTV in summer 1992. Such an amazing time for all genres,this would be played alongside Metallica,Ice Cube,Nirvana and Boyz II Men plus many many others
Great time for music.
I warms my heart and almost gives me chills hearing someone hearing this for the first time. I saw them in like 1991 or 92(give or take a year). Certainly one of the best shows I've ever seen(on acid).
Hahaha had you bustin just like you was Carlton. 🤣💀🤣💀🤣💀
I'm a metal head but these guys are LIT! Always been a fan of these guys!!! You can't help but groove to this one no matter where you are... the car, a club, home... So happy to see you digging on the Beastie Boys!!!
Paul's boutique is my favorite album, you should dive in. I suggest high planes drifter tirst
You have to understand the evolution of Beastie & The Boys to learning instruments and creating the rap/rock genre to fully appreciate. I'm old enough to remember when 'License to Ill' came out. It united our diverse neighborhood more than any politician ever could.
9:50 you weren't the only one playing Tony Hawk. Those first couple games were really something.
I remember when this song came out when I was almost your age. I loved seeing your reaction to this, helped me remember and appreciate it.
This is hip hop before it became the garbage you get today. If you're into this, I'd check out 3 MCs and 1 DJ. Peak 80s hip hop.
Absolutely garbage these days.
Total garbage today
I love that you were totally getting it and their use of vocabulary to make great rhymes. And you nailed it with the video game comment. Pure gold!
