he is MENTAL in this video. iconic.

[@OneD33pTX]

Nobody gonna talk about Hurricane’s verse? Shits straight🔥

[@lucasslizewski472]

I wish there was a Studio version with Hurricane because that flow was on another level

[@AndersRDH]

It's so fucking legit, he steals the show. Though the beat is so tight that it would make even an average performance sound lit, there's a reason freakinh Beck of all people sampled it.

[@stephenwolfram356]

The Hurra

[@stephenwolfram356]

He's doing a version of Now You Do, but just really is it's own thing cuz The Hurra can smoke fools

[@coryamiskusees2896]

I got chills when B Real and Sen Dog came out and joined the Boys the first time I watched this video. Rap perfection! RIP MCA. You will live forever through your music!

[@revivalluke]

Cory Amiskusees b and sen's verses on this are so damn good

[@ktj1212]

Sen doesn't have a verse here. that's DJ Hurricane rapping in between.

[@derekhammett8634]

you can hear B-Real doing background vocals before they come out

[@MacDaddyP11]

MCA just had that rockstar voice

[@haro82]

Great performance. Ha, man Ad rock was going nuts. Amazing he still has a voice after all those years!

[@JETJOOBOY]

Most Chilly fella off stage.. he is ... just .. COOL

[@sdot5389]

That’s why he’s the KING Ad Rock

[@NDirish1083]

I have watched this probably around 60 times.

[@roundershow]

60?? Before breakfast!

[@Y1117777]

ha ha I think I've seen it that many times also, a sick performance

[@NDirish1083]

edit: 300 times

[@imdbtruth]

I'm honestly probably up to about 60 views myself on this one... I love this live version even more than the LP version! It's too bad the Boys were lip-syncing on many of their other youtube videos of live performances from earlier in their careers... You can tell in videos like their Soul Train performance that they really weren't into lip-syncing, they looked totally disinterested... This Arsenio performance however, that shit was EPIC!

[@MountainCat1M]

You don't see stuff like this on TV anymore...this was epic.

[@frankwhite1895]

“Yo, suckers write me checks and then they bounce, so I reach into my pocket for the fresh amount”. That’s top 5 of my favorite lines in rap history.

[@sblagg527]

I personally like "I'll stir fry you in my wok" myself

[@undermarklvnv]

Still fresh and relevant and if people aren’t down with it might be a chin check.

Yo pops caught you smokin' an he says no way , that Hypocrite smokes 2 packs a day . Lmao

[@rattusrattusrattus6883]

I personally derive a lot of pleasure from Mike D saying “I’m down with Mike D and it ain’t no baloney!”

[@mike325ci]

nothing more to say since everyone else said how epic this is. but this kind of energy on a TV stage, you never see any more... adrock bouncing like he's on a trampoline floor, seriously... brooklyn's finest - beastie & cypres...

[@ktj1212]

Cypress is from L.A. but yeah man, great combo.

[@lithium-qo5wz]

Mike D and Ad Rock always try to match each others energy , makes it dope 💯

[@davidcoven9427]

Adrock is ferocious!!

[@judoknowjudo]

I remember staying up late to watch this. I'm still speechless over the amazingness that is the Beastie Boys, DJ Hurricane & Cypress Hill. 25+yrs later thats still my favorite remix...still have the CD.

[@DOOMERSANDSKULLS]

judoknowjudo what's the name of this version ?or the instrumental it changes up to .I never heard it this way.

[@j.j.6860]

DOOMERSANDSKULLS this is the soul assassins remix off of the root down EP

[@stevenguerranaranjo614]

The Soul Assassin remix is in the Check Your Head album too.

[@RaptorStudios]

It’s only on the deluxe edition of the album and it came from the “So What’Cha Want” single with a few other remixes and songs.

[@Bruceybaby2009]

This is the greatest thing on KZbin.

[@commentcopbadge6665]

It's 1979 and I'm lost. Can somebody lend me 40 bucks? I want to go home...

[@alyssaw1339]

That smooth music that comes on when MCA says “I’m as cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce”

[@RyTrapp0]

Which might be his best line in their entire catalog, hot as an ice burn!

[@resistnzisfutl]

This takes me back! The peak of Beastie Boys, and Cyprus Hill, whaa??? At their best!

[@wizcoolc1]

I saw them play together at a small club called the building in NYC right before the beasties blew up for the second time. Tickets were sold out and we gave up and were walking away I was crushed. A guy then asked us if we wanted tickets. I thought it was a scam. I said there's a line a street long with people with no tickets why you want to sell to us. He said he works back stage has them and doesn't care to see the show. He sold them to us for ten dollars. A true life miracle. A clip from that show was in one of their videos I think it was pass the mic. Also that corny group young black teenagers who had a song tap the bottle were in the audience that night.

[@johnclarke6024]

Oh my god. I taped this on VHS then hooked up the tape deck and dubbed. Gave it to 50 friends. I used to live on this, brings back good memories

[@Squiggles95]

These guys are so amazing. The little jump back and forth section at 2:03 goes so hard. And Hurricane killed it!

[@musicroxeggs4]

2:06 gotta love mike and ad-rock spazzing tf out meanwhile mca’s just vibing 😆😆

[@InfiniteBeak]

Hurra is a beast! So underrated

[@Steely_Fran]

💯! When I saw the Beastie Boys in 1994, Hurricane did the song "Elbow Room" from his solo album, "The Hurra". He's a talented man.

[@tomfetsick]

I loved "Elbow Room"!!

[@giopowie]

This is by far the BEST version of this unique live performance EVER. Thanks Porkys1982 for bringin' it up!

[@dllee5499]

NYC's finest. Back then we thought MCA was Black...his voice was so raw....RIP MCA

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

When I was little, MCA was scary...thought he would probably beat me up if I met him...(I was 12 and bullied a lot in 1987.)

[@alxdraven697]

Now THIS is Hip-hop.

[@justinrodriguez4050]

…at most this is ‘interesting’; mostly ‘catchy’…but “THIS is Hip-hop.”…uhhh…you should listen to more ‘ Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones’.

[@ccsmith2937]

Awesome seeing Beastie Boys collaboration with Cypress Hill. Classic 👍

[@urkent4463]

[@tomfetsick]

Still listening to this in 2024!

[@justinrodriguez4050]

I bet…I’m curious of the 1000’s (amongst 100’s) of curated playlist you’ve handpicked (clicked+dragged) over your years….’90s Beasties’ / ‘New Beasties’ / ‘Best of Beasties-01’

[@Nugglashine]

omg Adrock is getting soo buckwild.

[@FR0STB1TE11]

So sick, so dope, so ill! RIP Adam "MCA" Yauch!

[@InazumaStudios1]

Wow, this is SO HYPED! Great performance plus Cypress on that smooth beat transition!

[@DrDoggo-ty1nc]

5:20 "you must be talking about grunge" XD

[@charlesderosas5577]

No autotune. These guys are the real deal no fake gimmicks.

[@robertbouchard237]

Your fucking awesome for posting all these old school beastie boys videos

[@WorldwideWyatt]

Respect to everyone on that stage but The King Ad-Rock was really something. His energy was insane.

[@IAmRapture]

Ad-Rock might have seemed too hype, but I noticed at 1:42 he runs backstage to chug some water. He probably had a sore throat or something and it was messing with his vocals.

[@noiserrr]

he sounded like this for every live show between 92-95. it was just his style. that's why he keeps his hand on the actual mic too i bet, to keep the volume down lol.

[@alfredomalinis4525]

i remember watching this on its original broadcast. after all these years its still dope.

[@XRePete]

The drop by Hurricane is sooo good! Makes this tune sounds even more badass than it already is.

[@Sheridan1423]

who else caught their f bomb? god i love them

[@SuperGuitarNerd]

MCA will always be my favourite BB - But God DAMMIT if Adrock doesn’t completely and UTTERLY steal the show here. That entrance ALONE man! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@donnykees5848]

“Well, I’m cooler than a cucumber in a bowl of hotsauce” MCA had the smoothest lyrics. Like “Like a dream I’m flowin’ without no stoppin. Sweeter than a cherry pie with Ready Whip toppin’”

[@CameronStClair]

NO VISIIIIIIIIIINE, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF AFRO SHEEEEEEEEN.... Thanks for uploading this in such great quality... Been searching for years for this!

[@CrAck-MoNey]

I remember when I was a kid staying up until 1 a.m. every night to watch Arsenio Hall. This came out when I was 11. It's so dope that Cypress Hill came out for this!

When I heard the Cypress guitar lick start (was watching live) I bugged out. They were new on the scene.

[@manue3l1976]

Beasties are my heroes

[@MySamoan1]

I got to say it. Hurricane is filthy. Beasties are the best Rock and Rap group.

[@plumanuspranks4899]

Apparently Hurricane and Cypress Hill weren't supposed to be included but the Beasties hooked them up with Mics anyway, and subsequently got a lifetime ban from the show lol.

[@s.t.houtdoorsnz.1454]

I love how chill MCA is while Adam and Mike are frantically jumping around lol

[@sdot5389]

Cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce….literally

[@markbowden7238]

Imagine how awesome this would sound if someone had recorded the audio from the mixer. The audio on this, sounds like they recorded the whole building. There's no compression and the low freqs require a lot of boosting. Even so, this performance kicks.

It's awesome to hear my little 2yo girl walking around the house going "Foot on the pedal never ever false metal..." she can sing the first verse of No Sleep til Brooklyn flawlessly... Anyway, we also LOVE watching this performance on Arsenio, so hype! PS- I don't teach them the more inappropriate songs/verses, not that the Beasties were ever all that vulgar.
