Yeah, I'm really bummed about this.

Growing up as a white kid in the 80s, the Beastie Boys played a HUGE part in me getting into hip-hop at a young age. I also used to drum along with Licensed To Ill when I first started playing -- I learned tempo and control by matched the programmed loops and groove by matching the sampled Led Zeppelin tracks.

To paraphrase one of the Beasties' later songs, there's too many rappers and one less MC.

Can't say that I ever liked the Beastie Boys... but it always sucks when someone influential in music dies so young.

heading down to the garage later to find my Licensed to Ill & Paul's Boutique LPs for a listening party tonight.

He was causing all kinds of hysteria.
His beats were sick like malaria.

RIP Adam.



Oh, and **** cancer.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Indeed. He passed away far to young. I intend to honor his death by continuing to fight for my right to party.


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

To one of the guys who's been helping people fight for their right (to party) for over a quarter century now (even if the original WAS a goof on that sort of mentality).

Upstairs just got a little louder and a lot cooler, and it's nice to know the party will keep going.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

While I never seek out Beastie Boys music
Over others, usually, it was never a "skip" for me. Boo.

Just watched the Make Some Noise video on MTV2. MCA was a mad genius, in all the right ways.

Sabotage and Intergalactic are getting a play after hearing this. Very sad.
