The loss of one of the beastie boys
Adam Yauch

Truly sad news.....

[TARGETSIX]

There will be some tribute vinyl on the turntables tonight.

[Crimson Rage]

Holy carp... 47? I got into the Beasties quite late after they used scenes from DIABOLIK (one of my favourite movies) in their "Body Movin'" video... sad.

[cobracobra]

So sad he will be remembered for his contribution to music and personally making my teenage years a lot less gloomy. Brass Monkeys all around. Its just how I feel.

[qwe]

I think EVERYONE on this board has gotten down to something they have done,

My favorite group is the Beastie Boys, after the Beatles.

my old band would play "Fight for your Right" at our shows
We were all big fans!
we played more punk/alt. rock but we had 1 Beastie boys inspired Rap song:
Form Fittin' Unicorn (Live) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Oa_VCqzH8kU)

this is a very sad day.

shit damn that sucks, what a crew!

[hifipinkie29]

Sad, just sad. If I were to make a soundtrack of my life, the Beastie Boys would have AT Least 3 or 4 songs on it. RIP MCA. Peace be with you, brother.

[Cobra Terrorist]

Now!

I got the guns, you got the brew
You got two choices of what you can do
It's not a tough decision as you can see
I can blow you away or you can ride with me!


R.I.P. MCA

[zx670]

Sad news indeed. Beastie Boys' License to Ill was my first casette tape at the ripe age of 9. I've been a fan ever since, even though I liked their older stuff a lot more than the more recent stuff. I really enjoy The Mix-Up, though, probably one of the few.

R.I.P. M.C.A.

Holy carp... 47? I got into the Beasties quite late after they used scenes from DIABOLIK (one of my favourite movies) in their "Body Movin'" video... sad.

'tis a bit late. No License to Ill? They were all over MTV in those days.

[war009]

Good bye MCA...you will be missed

MCA of the Beastie Boys Dead at 47 - Music News at IGN (http://music.ign.com/articles/122/1224341p1.html)

The world is now a lesser place with the death of one of the legendary Beastie Boys.

Rest in Peace, Adam. It was a hell of a trip to Brooklyn.

[rugrat]

Should of been bieber!!!

[USAgent]

sad news. i had been following his fight and hoping for a recovery.

[Headman]

It's ok, according to Futurama his head will live on in a jar well past the year 3,000.

[orezona]

Now I have an incredibly strong urge to make a custom set of the Boys as they appeared in Fight For Your Right.

But my all time favorite video by them is, and always shall be "Hey Ladies:

Beastie Boys - Hey Ladies - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Naf5uJYGoiU)

/RIP MCA, you will be severely missed

I am crushed! The Boys are still in my top 10 favorite bands--favorite rap, for sure (up there with Tribe Called Quest, RunDMC). I've seen the B-Boys play at least three times, including Lollapalooze back in 94. I was stoked to get their latest album...and if you haven't seen the movie short they did, what with hollywood actors (Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell, + ?) playing the Boys...you HAVE To check it out! Hilarious!

I knew MCA had cancer, but I thought he had beaten it. I was waiting for them to come around again, and I was hoping for Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. Here's hoping they have some songs stashed away to give us a tribute album. :(

they always had awesome videos;body movin, sabotage.... my favorite song was prolly ''whatch want''

[ozzie92]

I'd love to see Beastie customs! The 12" dolls were going for a million dollars BEFORE MCA's death...can't even imagine, now. :(

[orezona]

Adam Yauch directed body movin' and whatch'ya want, amoung others including the short movie ozzie mentioned. The dude was MULTI-fauceted for sure.

This news actually hit me pretty hard today.

Parts list for an MCA "Fight For Your Right" custom?

[zx670]

Same here, last I heard the news was that he was going to make a full recovery and that was like 2 years ago. When I heard the news today, I was flummoxed.

[troublemagnet]

It's all ways sad when someone dies, so RIP MCA.However, I can't stand hip-hop in general, the lifestyle or the fans. I don't know why rap is so popular- Death metal is way more heavier than rap, Thrash metal is way more faster and Black Metal is way more evil. So what's so great about rap in the first place? 'Cause -rappers make words rhyme(?)-,then Dr.Suess was the greatest rapper who ever lived!

I'm not sure they are comparable,
although the beasties did start off as a punk band,
interesting,
don't worry there is room at the table for everyone....

[Tall Creeper]

RIP MCA you will certainly be missed! I have been a fan for a long time now and had hoped you were doing better! Very sad news indeed, I am sure you are playing up in the big blue and still bringing that great sound to the mics!!

[80sKid]

The news has broke my heart. The Beastie Boys made me who I am today. I was 6 yrs and I went to the record store in 86 and gave the owner my name and phone number and asked them to call me when Licensed to Ill was released. Yeah I was a fan at age 6 and before their LP came out. I remember the day that call came and I begged my Mom to take me to the store. I opened that tape and put it in my boombox and my life was forever changed! I have gone on to become an MC myself and have recorded several LPs and played shows up and down the East Coast. On their last tour I went to the show in Philly at the Wells Fargo Center and had floor seats and I got front row center. I had a custom made B-Boy hat on and during a break in between songs Ad Rock stopped the show to talk to me about the hat. All three ended up coming over and I got to tell each one how much they meant to me and gave them all praise and thanks. So glad I got to say that to MCA in person. RIP Adam Yauch, one of the most influential people in my life. You will be missed. Glad to see this thread on the Tank.

[MeLikeJinx]

Dude was legend.

[ero]

Sad to hear. MCA is a legend. RIP

Word.

[Trigue]

When I heard this on the news earlier I couldn't believe it. I don't think anyone could of grown up in the 80's and not of listened to the Beastie Boys atleast once. I had to break out a few old tapes and CD's and play them when I got home.

Rest in Peace MCA, you'll be sorely missed but never be forgotten.

[c_money_collins]

Super bad news. Big Beasties fan. Glad he at least got to be around for the last album. I'm still totally bummed though.

[TU482]

Just heard this news and it is quite sad indeed. Nice to see such an outpour of respect for such a talented and kind person.

[dcooper]

No matter what kind of music you listen to, you gotta give the Beastie Boys respect. Licensed to Ill was way before it's time. Paul Revere and No Sleep till Brooklyn were always my favorites. Sad day for the music biz.

[netowolf]

RIP, MCA. Legend.

[CliffSteele]

I didn't even know he was sick. I just checked my email at work today and I see one from Luscious Jackson w/ the subject "Goodbye Adam Yauch." I just keep thinking of that bass breakdown in "Sabotage." Talented, intelligent guy. MUCH more than just a rapper.

[Beckley]

I was so sad to hear the news

One of my favorites-

Beastie Boys - Shadrach (Abstract Impressionist Version) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEVfHmjKOrM)

[Beckley]

Beastie Boys & Moby - "Alive Porcelain" (MagicMS's MashUp) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ-ZD4MKXv0)

[devilfish60]

" I said howdy, he said Hi" RIP MCA.

[stknrobert1071]

too bad.... i first heard of them when they were a hardcore band with the drummer chick from lushus jackson...and loved lisenced to ill ...damn...they were good

[gruppenfuhrer88]

Bummer, MCA was cool man. I always rapped his parts in the car when my friends and I were going out to parties back in high school.

[mikey77]

Big part of my life !! very sad... Their wasnt a night we didnt have Pauls boutique blasting in the cars and clam baking and drinkin 40 dogs...

[mikey77]

Possession is half the law
I had my routines before all y'all -MCA

[riot_control]

This is sad news...RIP MCA!!

True indeed. RIP Adam Yauch.

Bumpin for MCA
and for the
"no pie, no sledge hammer team"

[ozzie92]

A GREAT DVD set to get for the BBoys is the video anthology set, "The Criterion Set." 18 of their music videos as recent as 2000.

Ah, but that's what was different about the Boys. Same with a lot of other groups like Tribe Called Quest, Lords of the Underground, etc...they made solid raps and even had fun with it, unlike the gangsta crap that took off in the 90s. The Boys were NEVER about being hard, and while they definitely had their own sense of cool, they were down to earth musicians who actually rocked the crossover with instruments decently enough. MCA didn't die because he was in some gun battle with the bloods and crips, not because he overdosed on his own supply (which he didn't have anyway, check out their lyrics "don't smoke chiva, can't stand crack"). He died a father with cancer.

I suppose Dr. Seuss...if he could have spit his lyrics smoothly on the mic, might have had another career in the making. But proper flow is an art form all in itself. ;)

One more thing: The BBoys were legit; real talent. Not novelty acts like Vanilla Ice/etc. They put the rap/music world on it's head with the sampling/layering affects from Paul's Boutique.

Whoa! Very cool story--thanks for sharing.

My style/personal pop culture was shaped big time by the BBoys, too. I still rock the Pumas/Addidas in homage, and I always will. I'm a 37 year old elementary school teacher, and there ain't (yep, I said ain't) no way I'm rocking those ugly school teacher sweaters.

When your fingers touch your keyboard do you actually feel the idiocy flow through them? I'm just wondering on a medical level if it's something that's tangible or do you type things like that without thinking about what it reads like?
