The bassist is Wilton Felder. Same guy who played for Jackson Five and Marvin Gaye in the 70s.

It’s an interesting story, The Beastie Boys and Prodigy toured Australia together for The Big Day Out Festival and Beasties asked Prodigy NOT to play “Smack my Bitch up” Prodigy thought it was hypocritical given the Beasties history so they sampled that line for their song “Funky Shit” Beastie Boys were good sports though and allowed it 😂

[@KOMBandmusic]

One of the reasons why I Respect the Beastie Boys so much is because they give their acknowledgment to the people who've paved the way for Hip Hop, which shows how much they respect the culture, #RESPECT.

[@77decwardo]

Exactly. Spot on!

[@nullunit]

Really, they are paying respect to their peers, Beastie Boys came out at the same time Run DMC and dudes like that. BB are one of the groups that paved the way, a founding sound of hiphop that gets downplayed too often as a novelty act just because they were white. They had a unique sound that no could really bite, except trippy bands like Dassen 3 from Japan, that was heavily inspired by them.

[@MarkSmith-ud4sd]

There wouldn't be an LL Cool Jay if it wasn't for BB, they gave his sample tape to Rick Rubin a founding member of Def Jam Records. BB were at the front of the genre even bk when Malcolm Maclaren come out with Buffalo Girls in 84.

[@strati5phere]

whats a hipster? counter culture? Just part of the evolution (subjectively good or bad)

[@Remembering00]

"Hipster" has the connotation of "counter culture lite." The stereotypical hipster is a young person from a wealthy background who embraces a Bohemian lifestyle for the sake of appearances. It's always been cool to be "alternative," so now we've finally reached the point where the alternative has been fully corporatized. In the past 25 years, young society has begun to place so much value on enjoying "obscure culture" (non-mainstream music, art, fashion, film, etc.) that the obscure is now peddled to us by the major entertainment companies who have finally caught on. Knowing that young people want to appear as though they have refined and unusual tastes, the corporate culture machine has adapted, . The result is that nowadays, having refined and unusual tastes is not only easy, but encouraged by mainstream society. Prior to this corporatization, a young person giving off a counter culture vibe would have had to put a lot of effort into it; being a fan of obscure culture was difficult, because that culture typically existed outside of the main lines of cultural distribution. Such a person would have had to find underground music shows (that aren't advertised on Facebook), to frequent second-hand record shops (that are rare and located only in hard-to-find ungentrified neighborhoods in cities), and to get all of their clothes at second-hand stores (back when that was a very weird thing to do if you weren't destitute). This weeded out the people who wanted to be alternative just for the sake of appearing alternative, so that the only people left were those who were truly willing to devote their entire lives to chasing the culture that they enjoyed. Now, all you have to do is head to Urban Outfitters and download music on iTunes to become a "hipser." Your app will tell you when your favorite underground band is playing a show several months in advance, and that second-hand record shop is now located next to a Starbucks in Williamsburg. The result is that anyone can be "alternative" now, and most of the people who embrace that image are actually not very interested in obscure culture, but are simply consuming whatever culture is fed to them by the mainstream (which now happens to be "counter culture lite"). I'm not saying that I embrace this view, I'm just explaining it.

[@StonehouseRealtyCO]

@@Remembering00 in 1957 jack kerouac defined a hipster as "someone who can score drugs on any street corner in the world".

[@Remembering00]

Yep! The term originated in the Jazz Age/1940's and it definitely had a "cool" connotation for a long time after that. It basically just meant "someone who is hip." I remember Elaine once called Kramer a "hipster doofus" on Seinfeld. Since that was the '90s, "hipster" itself simply referred to the fact that he wore vintage clothes and looked like a cool Bohemian-type, rather than being derisive (hence the need to add "doofus"!). It's interesting that you bring up Kerouac, because he coined the term "Beat Generation" (of which he was a member). The term "beatnik" came about later on and had a negative connotation much in the same way that "hipster" does nowadays, in that it referred to "posers," "try-hards," "Bohemians-lite," etc. Kerouac rejected the term and referred to himself and his contemporaries simply as "beats." Anyway, from what I'm reading online, the term "hipster" gained a mocking/condescending connotation around 2000-2003 when it was used to refer to the "Bohemians-lite" who were gentrifying Williamsburg at the time and emptying out thrift shops and used record stores using their parents' credit cards. Interesting stuff!

I think this may be my favorite Beastie song. I'm 39, I remember when License to Ill came out. They were bad boys and blew up huge. Grunge hit in 91 and the BB's remained relevant, becoming part of the "alternative" music scene in college, which included hip hop. I was more of a metal guy but I always thought the BB's were cool. looking back, they were just so unique. their music is just pure fun and good times. that is why they are so loved.
