Pretty cool note

Quote :

"The Beastie Boys' debut album, 1986's "Licensed to Ill" – featuring the singles "Fight for Your Right (to Party)" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" – was the first rap album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard album charts."

5/4/2012 1:52:46 PM

very upset

5/4/2012 1:53:59 PM

To The 5 Boroughs was one of the worst albums I ever made the mistake of purchasing.

Quote :

"The original title for this album was Don't Be a Faggot, but Columbia Records flatly refused to release the album with this title and pressured Russell Simmons (their manager and Def Jam label head) into having the Beastie Boys to come up with another name. Adam Horovitz has since apologized for the band's earlier title."

I learned something today.

5/4/2012 6:40:50 PM

I guess I'm the only person that thought the Beastie Boys were terrible

5/4/2012 6:44:42 PM

I burst into tears for Tibet, yo.

5/4/2012 6:45:44 PM

^^ Anyone who can listen to Check Your Head or Paul's Boutique and still think they're terrible is a complete moron.

Paul's Boutique is a goddamn pop music masterpiece.

5/4/2012 7:06:52 PM

I guess this medical condition will let him sleep till brooklyn

5/4/2012 7:08:11 PM

I know that a lot of people have never heard Paul's Boutique as intended (as a unit). Here it is:

5/4/2012 7:23:44 PM

Two people who loved Paul's Boutique and acknowledged its unimpeachable quality:

Chuck D
Miles Davis

It's still sold around here? I drank it a few times in college, a few of my first liquor-store purchases right after I turned 21, haven't looked for it since.
