Best Rap band ever, not even close. White Jewish boys, who'da thunk it?

RIP MCA. 48 is too young.

Very sad day indeed.

I walked down the street with him in NY when they did letterman and waited with him for a cab after the show.

Cool guy.

They were a pretty good punk band, too.

Pauls Boutique is blasting right now! I loved the Beastie Boys as a youth but haven't given much respect lately, I guess it's true, you don't know what you've got until its gone.

47 is ridiculously young. I've had a love affair with the Beastie Boys since 2nd grade when I heard Brass Monkey playing from a tapedeck at the back of the schoolbus.

MCA was the coolest B Boy..

Sh*t... Why do they keep taking the good ones... Take beiber, niki minage, pitbull. Any of those god awful talentless hacks. Not the real talented musicians. R.I.P. 40's on a curb this weekend for sure.

It's been a crappy couple weeks for the music world for sure. First Levon now MCA, both cancer too, friggin sucks.

 

[Tr33Climb3r]

Although well before my time I am familiar with them. I know it as old school rap but it was much more than that. Love the music videos.

On another note that f'ed up dirty hippie named Jimi Hendrix was a strong supporter of the Vietnam war. Artists and thier images are not always what they seem.

 

[Rickytree]

He will be greatly missed.. but will live forever.

Rest in Beats!!!
