Beastie Boys - Rhymin & Stealin | REACTION

[@truther4life]

The New Style is a must!

[@joshuatmanion8010]

....so you know why on Intergalactic they're known to let the beat Mmmmmmddddrrrrooooooop!

[@matthewglidden4860]

The drum intro is Led Zeppelin's "When the levee breaks", while the guitar is a sample "Sweet leaf" by Black Sabbath.

[@DoctorCreepy13]

Probably one of the most widely used drum samples in hip-hop. All started with this track.

[@anthonyv6962]

@@DoctorCreepy13 A good song and sample but no where near most widely used drum samples in hip-hop. It's been used about 260 times. Consider the following; Amen, Brother about 6600, Think (About It) around 3700, Funky Drummer over 1900 times. All songs worth checking out.

[@Jayizzo007]

Ali baba and the 40 thieves is an old Arabian nights folk tale.

[@matthewglidden4860]

This was the first track from their debut album. Great way to introduce themselves to the world.

[@kovert6407]

*From their debut RAP Album. Beastie Boys dropped some hardcore albums prior to this. Check out Pollywog Stew.

[@CarlosCardenas-wx5fc]

3 jewish high school kids - they weren't thinking about capping anyone. the really wanted to be run dmc - that's where the back and forth came from

[@carl5381]

Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. An old Arabic folk tale part of the collection of stories known as Arabian Nights related to what we know as Aladdin

[@steverichard2786]

The New Style is a banger 👌 Pass the Mic 🎤 👌 Shake your Rump , So Watcha Want , B Boy Bouillaisse, High Plains Drifter, Professor Booty, Hold it Now hit it, Three MC's 1 DJ, Looking Down the Barrel of a gun. Catalog is insane hit after hit. Another one Root Down is awesome. It's a deep ass Rabbit Hole bo doubt.

[@pyroishere]

This is a "no skip" album, came out in 1986, "No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn" is on this album. They were still in HS when they made this album with producer Rick Rubin (who started Def Jam in his college dorm room). I need to check your other Beastie reaction.

[@laraismyname821]

This is true. Not a bad/boring song on the whole album. I had to keep buying new copies (on both cassette & CD 😂) because I would just wear them out from repeated play.

[@jeremybates7779]

They were a punk band before they started rapping. There's an album, super rare. They all play instruments.

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

They were 3 best friends until they lost one member young, at 47, and therefor disbanded the group. The entirety of their decades their goal in writing was to make each other laugh and have fun together as buddies, doing what they loved together.

[@MGib-xx4nb]

RIP MCA

[@timmytwotoes4863]

They are saying, " Ali baba and the forty thieves"

[@JC-es5un]

“The New Style”, “Root Down”, “3 MC’s and1 DJ”, “Shake Your Rump”, “Hey Ladies” and “Too Many Rappers” (with Nas) are all phenomenal 👍🔥 They are absolutely iconic hip hop royalty. Seriously, everything is a banger with these dudes. Definitely a rabbit hole worth diving into.

[@mikeminiboss708]

Nobody switched the mic back and forth like them. If you want the crazy stuff, check out "Shadrach" also known as the three-man weave.

[@jvasil3854]

Ali Bahba and the 40 theives

[@RoarinRoots]

Yay another Beastie Boys reaction. Been taking me back

[@fgoogle5576]

rip MCA

[@matthewglidden4860]

The obvious next song is the next track, "The New Style" You will leave your seat!

[@persadies]

I always loves how Rhymin and stealing led into The New Style.

[@jvasil3854]

Sabotage & So What'cha want both have actual videos. Root Down has a video too. Root Down is my favorite beastie boys song.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The Beastie Boys were friends with and hung out with Rick Rubin at his dorm room at NYU. They discovered LL cool J's demo tape on his floor and told him he had to listen. The next year, Rick Rubin and Russel Simmons, (Russel was the brother to RUN) Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and LL Cool J started Def Jam records. Making this the very first rap album to go platinum, ever.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Run DMC ( the kings of Rap) had a very similar style of rhyming. Mixing rock riffs with beats. (Ali Baba and the 40 thieves) ......This is their first album, but they were on the KRUSH GROOVE soundtrack the year before with the song SHE"S ON IT. And the year before that (1984) they released COOKIE PUSS the single that got them noticed.

[@jesrush]

Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.✌️😊🔥 and NF and Twenty One Pilots do not curse in any of their songs.

[@TheOtherBrotherAli76]

What's really kind of nuts about the Beastie Boys is that they were a pretty decent, kind of doing well punkish band called Cookiepuss before they switched to Hip Hop. That's alot of the reason you hear such a heavy rock influence in their music.

[@michaelj3414]

Sorry to tell you but Beastie Boys shot their own videos using the creative mind of Nathaniel Hornblower, MCA's alter ego. You must watch the videos, too. It's all part of the package.

[@albertmata8813]

The next song is one of my favs off the album. New Style such a awesome song

[@TheFetter04]

My fav BB is AdRock it makes me chuckle that in an interview when he was older he said he doesn’t listen to his own music cuz he can’t stand that kid that screams all the time…that kid is him🤣🤣 Great reaction! Keep em coming! 😎🍻✌️🖖

[@joeknowscryptos5339]

Song is mainly about pirates. References to getting thrown in the moat, Davie Jones locker, parrot on his shoulder, piece of eight and more pay attention or pull up lyrics next time you listen it will make mores sense to you then

[@mikefetterman6782]

"His voice is not straining, and he is sick of people complaining./......." Ad Rock comments on how harsh his voice sounds. They record facing each other, they have their lines coordinated where they each take a turn and the song keeps going round and round as all 3 throw their best bars to that beat. They added REVERB to the track to make it sound as though it was a big concert hall. It is just a recording add on. They sampled the beat from Led Zeppelin' LEVEE BREAKS song, that was recorded in a tall mansion stairwell.

[@thejoshman3843]

pauls boutique....the most under-rated masterpiece hip hop album of all time.

[@TheOtherBrotherAli76]

You are 100% right. So freaking good.

[@Sheilla357]

The Plane Numbers read 3MTA3 (Eat me backwards) where Em's says TIKCU5 (Suck It). - Absolutely screaming it! Horse AF after seeing them with RunDMC.

[@bengy000226]

Check out the tail number on the Airplane. It says eat me backwards

[@wiljones3185]

If you want to see a real Beastie Boys video do the official video to Fight for your Right. You'll know it because it says official video and it's on their KZbin channel

[@dubbayabird6680]

I saw these guys at lollapalooza in 1994, and oh my God! Freaking amazing. Such a long time fan, so glad you're divin in ❤

[@Knick_Fury]

Great reaction…keep diving deep! Love the fact that you were feeling the rhyme style on this one…the passing off lines by the group. That style wasn’t invented by them but, they definitely put their own flavor in it (check HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER…a masterpiece). If you’re interested in the origins of the style, you have to go back to the earliest hip-hop records by groups like Treacherous Three, Funky Four + 1 more, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Cold Crush Brothers, Fearless Four, etc.…they pioneered that style…it was more common back then because there were fewer solo M.C.’s. Groups like Run-DMC and the Beasties grew up idolizing those groups and so they put their own spin on it when they got in the game..

[@RabbitHoleTVOfficial]

@@Knick_Fury perfect insight!

[@russ_3790]

Bro, you just got a sub, and notification on. More beastie, please.

[@stoneybrotherbass]

They started out as a hardcore Punk Band playing CBGB's Check out Sabotage on lettermen

[@triangleman-cp]

U good on the paul revere vid, this joint tho'? Straight gold! Get it Rabbit!

[@thomassullivan1207]

This was before Slick Rick

[@jason1911]

There is a live version of this song. You should watch that.

[@jflatty5389]

PASS THE MIC- with video- or high plains drifter or car thief if you really want to hear them finish each others bars- ur still on the first album

[@Emilie-one]

if you want to see them do the video for 3 MC’s and 1 DJ… the song is fire too

[@michaelj3414]

The band isn't in there with them. They are the band, as well. See them Live on the David Letterman show do Sabotage.

[@jeremymccage9213]

Niiiice

[@paindilla1834]

Any NF album = No Cussing

[@cherokeehogman9170]

Such a great album. If I was only allowed to listen to 3 albums for the rest of my life this would be first choice. Other 2 choices? NAS Illmatic. Last one is a toss between AC/DC back in black or Led Zeppelin II

[@queenzcuizine5214]

Please check out "Sabotage" live on the Letterman show. No costumes & excellent performance, in my opinion.

[@hanmeyer1301]

The Zeppelin "when the levee" beat slowed down.am I wrong?

[@fredarsenault8987]

The whole song is referencing classic pirate tropes, the production was very sparse because they used reel to reel tape for loops no samplers. It was basic the only "real" instrument they had was an 808.

[@andrisplatypus6617]

Check out Hanumankind!

[@ddoucette]

Look at the album cover in a mirror… or just flip it in a screenshot.

[@RabbitHoleTVOfficial]

Not EAT ME 😂

[@justonjenkins1589]

stop with the jokes, your not reacting, you are only here for yourself, so you can be funny

[@RabbitHoleTVOfficial]

1. No im not stoppin any jokes. Thats like tellin someone to stop being theirselves. 2. I am reacting due to the title of the video saying REACTION. 3. DUHHH u gotta show up for urself before anyone else will. Go be a negative nancy somewhere else Mr Jenkins ✌🏾

[@truther4life]

Fun fact...Eminem went to Epstein Island and Diddy parties!! Not gonna turn out so well for Em!
