Beastie Boys - An Open Letter To Nyc - Live Mtv - *HQ*

[@herbertbeiderbecke]

The real NYC Anthem. This stunning performance makes me shed some tears. RIP Adam. Thanks for initiating us punk kids to the beauty of hip hop beats and flows.

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten, from the Battery to the top of Manhattan. Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin. Black, White, New York you make it happen...

Two towers down but still in the game...

[@Johnny_Savage]

the beasties are one of rare cases of artists that after 20 years in the music business were still genuinely having a lot of fun rather than being worn-out by the machine of the industry. maybe because they have always been true to themselves, and only did what they liked. managing to live life like that, never losing the playfulness we had as kids, is precious.

[@mikemarquart3019]

they always stayed true

[@mikemarquart3019]

they continued to grow and showed it in every album

This is one of the ultimate NYC songs - from the lyrics to the Dead Boys sample. Yes yes y'all.

I'm from Montreal , and that song makes me wanna live in New York !! - This is what i call , an old school beat from the futur ! peace

@@Ronaldo1774 Be objective dude. You can't honestly say these are good rhymes. I love the Beastie Boys. This is NOT one of their best. You probably enjoy the delivery, and so do I. Specially from Ad Rock. Delivery =/= bars.

Now it's here, in better quality, and I am so happy about that :) IMO tha's the best live performance of Beastie Boys. First time i saw this live on tv (2004 MTV music awards in Rome as far as I remember), and I loved it! Thank you glorymorniing!

I'm leaving for New York this summer...this is going to be the first song I listen to when I get there.

[@treenut999]

@fighterace34: I was thinking that, and hoping they weren't....but if you listen at 1minute 45 seconds 'the best I caaaaaaaaan'....now the 'can' should be shorter in the original, but think he longed it out there, making it live! Awesome Live performance. Love the lyrics and the message behind the song, by some of New York's prodigal sons. Thanks for uploading!
