I did not thumb it down but typical admission into the RRHoF should NEVER be taken seriously. The Beasties are 1 of about a dozen bands that MAY actually be deserving of entry. And though they've apologized and no longer endorse homophobia, they sure did at one time.

[@sprthhfk]

I gave a thumbs down because I don't want RRHOF recommendations in my feed. That's all. I think that's where a lot of thumbs downs(?) come from.

[@phoney4387]

Stop it!!! 🤣🤣💀 Yall make it hard for them to get their respect saying silly shit.They came out nearly 15 years after Hip Hop was created,they had absolutely nothing to do with the foundation of Hip Hop & they are not rappers/lyricists.They're just 3 white dudes who grew up loving all music & formed a band.No need to rewrite history,just give them their flowers.

No, Licenensed to Ill was most important for crossover. Their second LP, Paul's Boutique, was most important for hiphop. Maybe watch the previous clip of their introduction into the Hall of Fame with Chuck D and LL Cool J - Chuck D explains why.

First time I’ve ever seen a band get booed off a stage. Probably not an opener for a Madonna crowd. Lol.

The Beasties used to go down to Rock clubs in the early 80s where it was full on Rock and Punk scene. There is where the Beastie boys heard the first hip hop records being played over the loud speakers. it's crazy to think that in clubs where it was mainly Rock, they would play Hip Hop to rock fans. That's rock for you, they bring exposure to things that mainstream media wouldn't necessarily be covering. This is coming full circle for them tho, starting as a punk band and then evolving into a hip hop group. well deserved. RIP to MCA (Adam Yauch) and may the boys carry on their legacy any which way they can. Rock on \m/

[@aquamarine99911]

Nightclub DJs have only one job - to keep people dancing. It's the ultimate meritocracy. If your record makes people dance, it gets played. In the 80s, it could have been U2, Michael Jackson, David Bowie or Grandmaster Flash. Back to back to back. Great era (but maybe I'm biased).

@Robert Anthony - yeah ok buttercup, i'll remain misinformed. I'm in no way a medical expert but from my personal experience, I'll stick with modern medicine over natural remedies when it comes to fighting the big c. Chemo and radiation treatment are brutal that is a given, but if it gives you a fighting chance to spend more time with ones you love, why wouldn't you give it a crack? Funnily enough I've known a number of people that have opted for natural treatments, and in every instance it ended quickly. I know more who have chosen modern medicine and low and behold most extended their lives for a minimum of 5 years with a majority in full remission and still walking this earth today. You do you and stick to your kale smoothies and hippy oil remedies when the time comes to fight it, let us know how it pans out.

I would argue that without these three guys, hip hop would not have been the success it has been to this day. I would also argue that their music is so incredible, it will be shaping the future of hip hop for generations before we all even catch up to where they were.

Good music, really good. Great ? Nah. Not possible when you sample so much of other people’s music.
