RIP Adam Yauch

true, Check Your Head and ill-Com are so badass, even tho we all love to say Paul's Boutique is our favorite.

i couldn't to random/shuffle with them. then again, i'm an album guy in general with all music... but especially for stuff like this.

I love Hot Sauce too.

I wonder what they have in their vault and if they'll put out another album?

dunno. seems like they've already done an instrumental album and some of the remaster/reissues already had extras on 'em. so i doubt there's a lot of really new/unreleased stuff that's worthy of release.

haven't seen official announcement, but my guess is the "beastie boys" are officially over as far as brand new music/appearances without MCA.


and yes, Hot Sauce is freakin great too.

Yeah I'm just wondering what they might have left over from the whole Hot Sauce Part 1 and 2 thing.

Paul's Boutique had the hits that put them on the map but I wholeheartedly agree, Check Your Head and Ill Communication were musically and lyrically much better.

Hello Nasty wasn't as great as those other two, from a top to bottom standpoint. But there are two songs on there, Body Movin' and The Move, that are both some of the best songs they've ever done.

Man I'm going to miss them.

no way, Paul's is really superior from a creative and production stand point. I want to say the album was largely dismissed at the time of release because people didnt "get it", it was way ahead of its time. I didnt buy the album until after Check Yo Head was released which was kinda a mini comeback. Dust Brothers just did an incredible job with the beats and production especially with the sampling. Beasties even though still juvenile with some lyrical content, were much better at their craft from license to ill. they had grown up alot. Plus those cats were experimenting with sh*t not only with hip hop and sound but with drugs which gives the album psychedelic sound along with the influnces of 60s and 70s funk and soul. Pauls to me is a landmark in Hip Hop...paved the way for rock/rap sound but also said...hey hip hop can be
"this"

well said Chico, and I agree.

Paul's Boutique

1) It's probably the most lyrically, instrumentally, and creatively layered album ever made. Strip it down and really take your time to listen to every little detail of every little song... it's mind boggling.

2) Watch this guy, He's annoying...but it's interesting none the less.
