Bouillabaisse (Boo-ya-base or like James said) it’s a French strew. Usually a fish stew. Basically, lots of ingredients. Like all the little songs put together. 👌👌
The Beastie Boys were so versatile, so far ahead of their time, that when they made Paul's Boutique, it set a precedent that's still unmatched to this day.
A lot of credit must be given to the Dust Brothers, who produced the album and created most of the music. "Paul's Boutique" truly is the pinnacle of the art of sampling (though De La Soul's "3 Feet High and Rising" arguably comes close, at times). Both this and its predecessor would be virtually impossible to replicate, today. The royalty fees would be astronomical.
One of my favorite songs of all time. I’ve skied some gnarly shit over 3 decades with this playing in my headphones/helmet. “I drop the L when I'm skiing I'm smoking and peaking I put the skis on the roof almost every single weekend Can't stop the mindfuck when it's rolling along Can't stop the smooth runnin's when the shit's running strong...” I still feel this as much today as I did in my ski bum days. It brings back so many memories of specific days and runs with incredibly talented friends that absolutely ripped! Hucking the Head Wall at Loveland as early in the season as possible, Little Italy on Mother’s Day on Pikes Peak, Gunsight at Alta, Tophers and the Cirque at Mary Jane, The East Wall, The Alleys and the Waterfall on Pali and the Beavers at A-Basin, Rasta Chutes at Snowbird, “hero snow” in Vail and Beaver Creek, all kinds of shit that was out of bounds in Breck that eventually became in-bounds 20 years (and a lot of felled trees) later. The list goes on and on...great, great memories all linked by this very song.
Keep in mind that in 1989.. People were still really desperate to distance themselves from disco sounds, and the Beastie Boys were risking it all by bringing that sound all back, and on their SECOND album. This album was not a commercial success, but it cemented their legacy as being pioneers. This album, with all of its sampling (there are UA-cam videos dedicated to just breaking down all of the sample references on this album alone) could never be made again. I discovered this album AFTER I'd heard Ill Communication and Check Your Head. After I'd heard this album, everything changed. I was hooked for life.
There are so many samples in Paul's Boutique, it's so musically dense and complex, that the first time Eric B heard it, he said he could make a thousand songs from it.
The "It's a trip..." line was said by local NY weatherman (Ch. 9 WOR) at the time Lloyd Lindsey Young, who was known for his loud voice, eccentric personality and words he'd make up like "thunderbumpers" for a thunderstorm. He was a trip!
Bouillabaisse (pronounced "bewl-LA-base-EE") is a kind of seafood stew... which kind of describes what this track is... a mix or a "stew" of different unfinished or "cutting room floor" stuff when they were producing Paul's Boutique. Love this record... its f***ing amazing.
Yeah that was a Bob Marley sample. You got it. He was talking about British doinh Reggae. "Dem know it, but they just can't do it." If I remember correctly.
Last song on the CD/Tape..over 12 minutes of HARD beasties at the end of an exhausting but amazingly fun record...Masterpiece, the record and especially this one song!
Paul's Boutique is a HIDDEN GEM...even then when it dropped it was a "deep cut". People still wanted that "Party Anthem" type music they did on "License to Ill". When they dropped this it was SOOOO WAY OUT and ahead of it's time, that the average listener slept on it. This thing is SONIC Masterpiece! This was also a time when DJ's mattered.
First time I heard this was my a-hole loser older step brother cranking it in his bedroom. I was like,”OMG!!! This is new Beastie Boys and it’s like whoa! HOLY CRAP!” His younger bro and me we’re gonna steal it(guarantee his criminal, broke ass stole it) but he always took it with him. I immediately fell in love it. Immediately told all my buddys about it. Summer between 9th & 10th grade. Kinda forgot about it after a bit and then in ‘96 it went into my six disc changer and never came back out. Constant rotation for years until the CD player broke. I bought the remastered vinyl rerelease the second I heard it was out in the mid/late 2000’s and it still gets heavy rotation just like the cd.
Yeah, I agree that Mike D and Ad Rock have similar voices, but the way I tell them apart is Ad Rock's voice is the higher, more "nasally" voice -- and he tend to "yell" his raps more.
Been a Beastie fan for years, but it wasn't until a few years ago when I read Stephen King's IT that I realized where they got "He thrusts his fists against the posts he still insists he sees the ghost."
Wuddup Teez. Thanks for playing this Beasties gumbo track per my request. They threw in a bunch of ingredients and styles to give a glimpse into how an underground party might be mixed up.
Paul's Boutique was a banger up to this point, but Bouillabaisse was such a perfect coda. I believe this track is what propelled the album to GOAT status.
The Beastie Boys' rhymes, combined with their delivery - finishing each other's bars, the handoffs, the backups - and the production, particularly what the Dust Brothers did on Paul's Boutique specifically, but also on every album, whoever was producing...the Beastie Boys were a perfect group.
This album revolutionized sampling (and copyright laws). They paid something like $250K for the rights to the samples they used. Actual value was somewhere closer to $25M! Incredible album. In the early '90s, used to blaze and listen to Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head or Ill Communication on the regular. Great vibe albums.
Loved your reaction! I bought this asva kid and will never forget the first time I heard this on Paul's boutique! It's crazy it's one song haha. Paul's boutique is a masterpiece start to finish!!!
It took me a long time to be able to tell the difference between Adrock’s and Mike D’s voices. But nobody in the world sounds quite like MCA. May he Rest In Peace and Funk. Love.
This record is super-dope. "Bool-yah-base" is a close pronunciation for that funky French word for a traditional Provencal fish stew. Thanks for the awesome reaction video!
I'm still here, not commenting on every video, but thank you for keeping the Beasties journey going! Believe it or not, there's still lots more! It's one of the best parts of my night!
I saw an interview with them, they said they started the band as a sort of parody, they said they thought for sure that they would be laughed out of the hip-hop community. They said they were really surprised that people liked their music
You still have to discover Johnny Ryall, Egg Man, High Plains Drifter, 3 Minute Rule, Hey Ladies, Shadrach, and if you love The Beatles, Sounds of Science....Pauls Boutique is just the best. Youre lucky, cant wait to see these reactions!
Most people looked at them as a gimmick back then. Of course the industry wanted them to come out with License to Ill 2, but they came out with this. This album flopped at the time, and I'm glad overtime people are actually seeing how brilliant it was/is.
100%. Such a great album. Do a little searching about their old manager, Andy Slater. He wa a big part of this record being released agains the will of the label. Andy ended up being the CEO of Capitol. There was a lot of red tape around this album and Slater believed in it and took some heat. Good on him and the B Boys!!!
MCA was the one first time led me to bond with BBoys. Not just voice but his lyrics were more distinct like spoke to me anytime listening to MCA verses.
You've just graduated from B Boy School! I'm so proud of you ;-). Keep going and one day listen to Paul's Boutique all the way through...Please listen to Car Thief!!! it's on the same album, one of my favs!!!!
yes that was Bob if you find the video "pauls boutique a visual companion", its a sick vid by the way they put a ton of effort into it highly recommend!, they found the video clip the sample was taken from. "yeah explain to musician, them knew but them cant do it" or something like that
I remember buying the Paul's Boutique album somewhere around 2002 not knowing anything about it. At that time I was going through a phase of buying all Beastie Boys albums to discover their stuff I hadn't heard before. I must admit it took quite afew listens to appreciate and enjoy it as a whole but the more I listened the more I found something I hadn't heard on previous listens. It became more and more compelling the more I played it. To this day it easily remains my favourite Beastie Boys album.
The difference between this reaction and everybody else’s is that everybody else will stop the song every 10-15 seconds and throw some bullshit in there to extend the video and cram as many ads as they can. This dude only stopped it once…..which in my opinion is a true reaction. For that alone, this dude is getting a subscription from me! Props!
BouillaBaisse is a cajun seafood stew. pronounced "Bool ya base". Got a bunch of stuff in it. fish, gator, shrimp. This song is like that with a lot of different stuff in it.
At 4:12: "Caught a bullet in the lung from Bernie (Bern-hard) Goetz" I'm a New Yorker (Flatbush, Brooklyn, RIP MCA). When Goetz shot those guys on the subway in the 80's the news reported his name alternately as "Bernie" or "Bernhard". Layers upon layers. Man, you can geek out SO HARD on this album.
Bro your reactions are MONEY haha. PAUl'S BOUTIQUE is so fucking dope. Thank you for this... I see your Beatles poster- the PB album has been called the Sergeant Pepper of the Hip Hop world. It's such a classic on another level. And yeah, smoke up and listen to the whole album. You'll keep picking up all this subtle new shit each time. It's such great head music.
You nailed it. On another album, the bar comes out, "...a good mix tape cam put you in the right mood". I believe this album broke the record for most samples, hence the lawsuit. I believe the pronunciation of bouillabaisse is "boo-ya-baze". Great reaction, as usual. I miss these guys terribly. They were different.
When the B-Boys made Paul's Boutique they were 3 white New York boys who got rich as FUCK, and moved to LA, and immediately regretted it. 75% of the PB album is them writing odes to NYC.
They had to leave NYC, after they bailed on Def Jam, Russel Simmons wasn't pleased and put word out in NY that noone was to work with them. Russel had that kind of clout back then, Def Jam was THE label, and there weren't the littany of hip hop labels like there are today to run to. And remember, he basically gave the Beastie Boys their credibility in the hip hop community in the beginning, so he saw it like a backstab. They eventually linked with the Dust Brothers and it all worked out for them obviously...
HELLO BROOKLYNN! Haha, brother you don't know how much this shit was on constant rotation for those of us just a few years older than you. Keep up the great vids. Be safe.
Yes, all that and also more very distinctive details to help identify their voices: Ad Rock = high pitched more "aggressive sounding" and VERY nasal voice. And actually quite husky and warm when not shouting ("And me", "instant Death" and "Live at P.J.'s", for example) Mike D = high pitched, and more child-like voice, that tends to crack a bit, and the least "aggressive sounding" of the three. MCA = raspy and deeper voice.
Capitol records paid about 225 thousand dollars to get the samples cleared for pauls boutique I'm 1989. adjusted for today it would probably be about 10-15 million.....there could never be another album made like pauls boutique it occupies a unique place in musical history and its easily one the greatest hip-hop albums of all time
You just made my day, Teez!!
You can play the whole Paul's Boutique on loop and it would be the never ending album. And you will hear something different every time.
Facts!!
I'm playing all of Teez's playlists on loop, in case it helps his channel. Just played Dylan for five days. BB now. Feel free to join.
Bouillabaisse (Boo-ya-base or like James said) it’s a French strew. Usually a fish stew. Basically, lots of ingredients. Like all the little songs put together. 👌👌
The Beastie Boys were so versatile, so far ahead of their time, that when they made Paul's Boutique, it set a precedent that's still unmatched to this day.

"you're face turns red as a glass of wine that you spilled on my lyrics as you wasted my time"
so. damn. good.
Always loved those bars
I've got more flavor than fruit stripe gum.
The mca “year in a day” is a masterpiece btw
🔥. He got a jet fighter pilot helmet and wired it up with a mic and headphones, and recorded that song with it on
One of my favorite songs of all time.
I’ve skied some gnarly shit over 3 decades with this playing in my headphones/helmet.
“I drop the L when I'm skiing
I'm smoking and peaking
I put the skis on the roof almost every single weekend
Can't stop the mindfuck when it's rolling along
Can't stop the smooth runnin's when the shit's running strong...”
I still feel this as much today as I did in my ski bum days. It brings back so many memories of specific days and runs with incredibly talented friends that absolutely ripped! Hucking the Head Wall at Loveland as early in the season as possible, Little Italy on Mother’s Day on Pikes Peak, Gunsight at Alta, Tophers and the Cirque at Mary Jane, The East Wall, The Alleys and the Waterfall on Pali and the Beavers at A-Basin, Rasta Chutes at Snowbird, “hero snow” in Vail and Beaver Creek, all kinds of shit that was out of bounds in Breck that eventually became in-bounds 20 years (and a lot of felled trees) later. The list goes on and on...great, great memories all linked by this very song.
This is a treasure trove of music. I think this is their answer to side two of The Beatles' Abbey Road.
Bouillabaisse is a french fish stew.
Thanks, actually didn't know what it was! 🤣
This is a concept song. Its a mini-album on one track.
This song is like it’s own quick Beasties EP.
Best beastie album
Groundbreaker. Changed the rap game forever.
The greatest hip hop album of all time.
Oh hands down. Everybody credits NWA for starting gangsta rap but the Beasties were talkin about bein strapped when Eazy was in middle school
freak yup. Everyone should go listen to Ice Cubes first group called "CIA".
For which they didn't come up with 85% of the beats because they have zero musical talent
This "song" feels like a crazy after party to an unbelievably epic show
the dust brothers are the producers of this album....all of these beats they created were insane. they need to get more acknowledgment.
Dust Brothers didn't produce this track...which is why it's mediocre
Paul’s Boutique is simply a masterpiece
Keep in mind that in 1989.. People were still really desperate to distance themselves from disco sounds, and the Beastie Boys were risking it all by bringing that sound all back, and on their SECOND album. This album was not a commercial success, but it cemented their legacy as being pioneers.

There are so many samples in Paul's Boutique, it's so musically dense and complex, that the first time Eric B heard it, he said he could make a thousand songs from it.
The perfect way to end Pauls Boutique. Starts just how it finishes.... PERFECT 10/10 album.
Been a B-Boys fan since Day 1. Nobody Lays it Down like the Beastie Boys. LEGENDS. R.I.H. MCA❤
"I bought a hot dog from my man who?! George Drakoulias!" is one of my favorite B-Boy lines of all time.
I love the beastie boys music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😤😤😤😤
The "It's a trip..." line was said by local NY weatherman (Ch. 9 WOR) at the time Lloyd Lindsey Young, who was known for his loud voice, eccentric personality and words he'd make up like "thunderbumpers" for a thunderstorm. He was a trip!
“You know you eat shellfish” means he doesn’t keep kosher. Also a reference to the fish stew in the title. 😆
I thought "shellfish" was in reference to a females hooha. LOL
Bouillabaisse (pronounced "bewl-LA-base-EE") is a kind of seafood stew... which kind of describes what this track is... a mix or a "stew" of different unfinished or "cutting room floor" stuff when they were producing Paul's Boutique. Love this record... its f***ing amazing.
Yeah that was a Bob Marley sample. You got it.
He was talking about British doinh Reggae. "Dem know it, but they just can't do it."
If I remember correctly.
don't forget Johnny Cash - just to watch him die. 😉
im so high you can call me your highness, if you dont know me than pardon my shyness
Need to keep it on repeat coz there is so much there, bro! this is the dope ass jam that keeps changing every minute or two.
Last song on the CD/Tape..over 12 minutes of HARD beasties at the end of an exhausting but amazingly fun record...Masterpiece, the record and especially this one song!
The Brooklyn drop will absolutely levitate anything near house speakers. My entire dorm can testify
Paul's Boutique is a HIDDEN GEM...even then when it dropped it was a "deep cut". People still wanted that "Party Anthem" type music they did on "License to Ill". When they dropped this it was SOOOO WAY OUT and ahead of it's time, that the average listener slept on it. This thing is SONIC Masterpiece! This was also a time when DJ's mattered.

I bought the remastered vinyl rerelease the second I heard it was out in the mid/late 2000’s and it still gets heavy rotation just like the cd.
That song has so much genius and talent in it!
Yeah, I agree that Mike D and Ad Rock have similar voices, but the way I tell them apart is Ad Rock's voice is the higher, more "nasally" voice -- and he tend to "yell" his raps more.
The original nasal kid
Been a Beastie fan for years, but it wasn't until a few years ago when I read Stephen King's IT that I realized where they got "He thrusts his fists against the posts he still insists he sees the ghost."
Listen to the whole album, end to end. It's amazing.
This one and Check Your Head gotta be start to finish
Hahahaha, love that you did this one. Please, seriously, High Plaines Drifter. BTW, it’s pronounced bool-ya-base (bouillabaisse).
Wuddup Teez. Thanks for playing this Beasties gumbo track per my request. They threw in a bunch of ingredients and styles to give a glimpse into how an underground party might be mixed up.
Yo! You wanna hear the ultimate switching check out b-boys "Shadrock"
Shadrach. Cool video too
My jam 🙌🏻
Yup, "Shadrach" is my favorite track. Though "Shake Your Rump" and "High Plains Drifter" rate highly, too.
Paul's Boutique was a banger up to this point, but Bouillabaisse was such a perfect coda. I believe this track is what propelled the album to GOAT status.
"He thrust his fist against the post, he still insists he sees a ghost"
back in 89 driving around the lower east side 2 am 40 in my lap and a pack of newport lights in the dash and this cassette on loop, best times
My fave part of this song coincidentally starts at 8:08
I remember seeing them at Coachella in 03. They were always fun live.
The Beastie Boys' rhymes, combined with their delivery - finishing each other's bars, the handoffs, the backups - and the production, particularly what the Dust Brothers did on Paul's Boutique specifically, but also on every album, whoever was producing...the Beastie Boys were a perfect group.
I hope you were lucky enough to see them trade bars, live!
This album revolutionized sampling (and copyright laws). They paid something like $250K for the rights to the samples they used. Actual value was somewhere closer to $25M! Incredible album. In the early '90s, used to blaze and listen to Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head or Ill Communication on the regular. Great vibe albums.

It took me a long time to be able to tell the difference between Adrock’s and Mike D’s voices. But nobody in the world sounds quite like MCA. May he Rest In Peace and Funk. Love.
Shit man, now that you got that rolled, time to listen to the song again.
That last bit, "to all the girls" is also the opening track of the album. It goes full circle
This was their Sgt.Peppers moment.no other rap group could approach this.
This record is super-dope. "Bool-yah-base" is a close pronunciation for that funky French word for a traditional Provencal fish stew. Thanks for the awesome reaction video!
One of the baddest albums ever produced. It's left, it's right, it's fat it's tight. That's Paul's Boutique
I'm still here, not commenting on every video, but thank you for keeping the Beasties journey going! Believe it or not, there's still lots more! It's one of the best parts of my night!
This shit is fire ...high plains drifter come on it’s time
This is the Blueprint for sampling. Artistically insane
A blunt seems just perfect for listening to some classic beasties!
According to website "Whosampled" this track contains samples of 26 songs! So flawlessly blended
there's way more than 26 samples on this
I saw an interview with them, they said they started the band as a sort of parody, they said they thought for sure that they would be laughed out of the hip-hop community. They said they were really surprised that people liked their music
The Sgt Pepper of Hip Hop
Genius!
Paul's Boutique, this whole album was made from samples. Copyright laws for sampling came after this album was made.
You still have to discover Johnny Ryall, Egg Man, High Plains Drifter, 3 Minute Rule, Hey Ladies, Shadrach, and if you love The Beatles, Sounds of Science....Pauls Boutique is just the best. Youre lucky, cant wait to see these reactions!
Rewatch Crew checking in
Most people looked at them as a gimmick back then. Of course the industry wanted them to come out with License to Ill 2, but they came out with this. This album flopped at the time, and I'm glad overtime people are actually seeing how brilliant it was/is.
Damn fr???? That’s insane listening to this bro 🔥
100%. Such a great album. Do a little searching about their old manager, Andy Slater. He wa a big part of this record being released agains the will of the label. Andy ended up being the CEO of Capitol. There was a lot of red tape around this album and Slater believed in it and took some heat. Good on him and the B Boys!!!
This was the group's way of saying they can rap over ALL styles of music samples, rhythms, flows, you name it . . .
Oh someone actually did this I know u weren’t ready lol
MCA was the one first time led me to bond with BBoys. Not just voice but his lyrics were more distinct
like spoke to me anytime listening to MCA verses.
Mix the Bass Ale wit’ da Guinness Stout 🙌🙌🙌
You've just graduated from B Boy School! I'm so proud of you ;-). Keep going and one day listen to Paul's Boutique all the way through...Please listen to Car Thief!!! it's on the same album, one of my favs!!!!
@aweinblatt6 Ask and you shall receive: ua-cam.com/video/delYTO208Ig/v-deo.html
Car Thief is my favorite from it aswell with Shadrach as a close second
yes that was Bob if you find the video "pauls boutique a visual companion", its a sick vid by the way they put a ton of effort into it highly recommend!, they found the video clip the sample was taken from. "yeah explain to musician, them knew but them cant do it" or something like that
The Ultimate Hip Hop Album, this one was on another level.
Heyyy Teeez back to back Beastie Boys you rock 😍😍❤😘
🔥❤️
"What you gonna do?" part makes you bounce. I mean, I can't even help it.
6000+ samples of perfection.
That 808 is sick!
I'm here for "Hello Brooklyn"
I remember buying the Paul's Boutique album somewhere around 2002 not knowing anything about it. At that time I was going through a phase of buying all Beastie Boys albums to discover their stuff I hadn't heard before.
I must admit it took quite afew listens to appreciate and enjoy it as a whole but the more I listened the more I found something I hadn't heard on previous listens.
It became more and more compelling the more I played it.
To this day it easily remains my favourite Beastie Boys album.
The thing that really trips me out is how this Album is just being “discovered” like 30 years later.
I Love how you listened without commenting every bar...truth
a Bouillabaisse is a soup with lots a stuff in it. A tasty mix , like this song.
The end of this song is also the opening track so the album begins and ends on the same vibe.
"Bust into the conductor's booth and bustin' out rhymes, Over the loudspeaker about hard times"
I was already a fan before listening B-boy but after it Beasties became my musical Home
all these little clips and pieces are the highlight of their career. Amazing.
Adrock has the attitude screaming voice, Mike D is fast lines, MCA has the smokey voice.
So much Beasties for you to explore. I'm excited for you to discover many wonders.
of all the reaction vids, you're a man ALONE taking on this one. Respect. I doubt others will do this one.
I won't advertise others on someone's page but I've seen other reactions to this song
The difference between this reaction and everybody else’s is that everybody else will stop the song every 10-15 seconds and throw some bullshit in there to extend the video and cram as many ads as they can.
This dude only stopped it once…..which in my opinion is a true reaction. For that alone, this dude is getting a subscription from me! Props!
Because of your poster, Sound of Science would be a likely candidate for your next song.
BouillaBaisse is a cajun seafood stew. pronounced "Bool ya base". Got a bunch of stuff in it. fish, gator, shrimp. This song is like that with a lot of different stuff in it.
Yeah this is five of my favorite tracks on this album. All-time classic.
At 4:12: "Caught a bullet in the lung from Bernie (Bern-hard) Goetz"
I'm a New Yorker (Flatbush, Brooklyn, RIP MCA). When Goetz shot those guys on the subway in the 80's the news reported his name alternately as "Bernie" or "Bernhard".
Layers upon layers. Man, you can geek out SO HARD on this album.
I'm pretty sure the first time my mom heard me listening to license to ill she had a small stroke.
She was a Sunday school teacher
Hellooooooooo
Brrooookklyyynnn
paulos boutique is classic forever ,hello from Brasil
Paul's Boutique is one of the best hip-hop albums ever recorded.
Wow the Beastie Holy Grail!
Bro your reactions are MONEY haha. PAUl'S BOUTIQUE is so fucking dope. Thank you for this... I see your Beatles poster- the PB album has been called the Sergeant Pepper of the Hip Hop world. It's such a classic on another level. And yeah, smoke up and listen to the whole album. You'll keep picking up all this subtle new shit each time. It's such great head music.
Also it's a fish/shellfish stew. Hence the shellfish reference.
You nailed it. On another album, the bar comes out, "...a good mix tape cam put you in the right mood". I believe this album broke the record for most samples, hence the lawsuit. I believe the pronunciation of bouillabaisse is "boo-ya-baze". Great reaction, as usual. I miss these guys terribly. They were different.
1989 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the B-Boys made Paul's Boutique they were 3 white New York boys who got rich as FUCK, and moved to LA, and immediately regretted it. 75% of the PB album is them writing odes to NYC.

They eventually linked with the Dust Brothers and it all worked out for them obviously...
HELLO BROOKLYNN! Haha, brother you don't know how much this shit was on constant rotation for those of us just a few years older than you. Keep up the great vids. Be safe.
On the cd and tape on the title list it is just one song but if you go look now for cd or mp3 they split it up for all the mini-songs.
RIP Yauch! MCA day is May 4th
Hell yeah ...Teez reaction to the bass at 8:10 (for real?) haha awesome!
MCA = Raspy voice
Ad Rock = Hi Pitched voice
Mike D = Slightly less hi pitched than Ad Rock
Yes, all that and also more very distinctive details to help identify their voices:
Ad Rock = high pitched more "aggressive sounding" and VERY nasal voice. And actually quite husky and warm when not shouting ("And me", "instant Death" and "Live at P.J.'s", for example)
Mike D = high pitched, and more child-like voice, that tends to crack a bit, and the least "aggressive sounding" of the three.
MCA = raspy and deeper voice.
Ad Rock
The original nasal kid doing damage
Capitol records paid about 225 thousand dollars to get the samples cleared for pauls boutique I'm 1989. adjusted for today it would probably be about 10-15 million.....there could never be another album made like pauls boutique it occupies a unique place in musical history and its easily one the greatest hip-hop albums of all time
There so underated these guys are legends funck punk rap everything so ill
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouillabaisse. Is a stew and this is their stew all styles in one jam
