Your thought on The Beastie Boys
« on: June 21, 2005, 09:36:03 PM »
Whats the deal with these guys...they never get talked about.

It seems every time someone talks about a hip hop group, these guys are almost NEVER mentioned...

Do people here feel their music?

Their DJ is supposed to be one of the best in the world...

I personally dont think their stuff is that great, Intergalactic was pretty cool...

Opinions?

"But they can't take the respect, that I've earned in my lifetime
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
So like they say, every dog has it's day
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
So I pray, remembering the days of my youth
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth"

they are really dope.  Licensed to Ill is a hip hop classic and I think many rappers should pay homage to it.

thier best song has got to be " so whatcha want"

"Open letter to NY" is also a sick newer song of thiers, but to be honest most of thier stuff is shit.

I think they're great. They have some of the greatest albums ever released. I love how on Check Your Head, Ill Communication and Hello Nasty they mix in a balance of hip-hop songs and instrumentals. I didn't like their latest one too much though.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Time for some hatred in this thread.

Beastie Boys are legends. That's where my respect ends. I fucking hate almost anything of what they did. They were influential, but I hate the way they sound. Flows and even more their voices are TERRIBLE, I really can't listen to that. Beats are often annoying imo. Good lyricists, and a nice dj, but that won't make up for all of their bad points imo. I just can't understand how come they're so widely respected.

Ahhhh... Just my

they´re definitely not everybody´s cup of tea, but how much and what exactly have you heard? IMO, what a good hiphop collection should include is:

Licensed To Ill
Paul´s Boutique

those are just classics...this is not coming from a great fan of theirs btw

^ yeah its true.. i really cant stand the early beasties stuff.. they have changed styles quite a bit over the years


pauls boutique is the 'other' album that is touted as the pinnacle of rap sampling.. the other of course is dre's first chronic.. i've seen many times that people wanting to learn to produce should listen to both intently.
