they were just kids then, and on top of the world! their music will never get old.

[@davidpistek6241]

They only had a learners permit to be ill ,I just finished a 6 episode podcast on them and they were a favorite of mine before, no dogs in space

[@poetuvdapeople]

Beastie Boys are undoubtedly one of the greatest hip hop trios to ever get on the mic!!!!

[@Nightmike1989]

In the middle of their transition, from hardcore punk to hip hop, nice that they managed to succeed on both levels.

[@terrystyles5271]

The first Beastie Boys song that I ever heard. Been loving their music ever since.

[@DystopianJoe]

i started learning guitar at age 12. after a few lessons my guitar tutor said bring in any tune, he'll teach me to play it. any tune i wanted. i brought this. as i played the tape i could see a look cross his face as if civilization were surely doomed. the early beasties were abrasive bratty and your parents and guitar teacher hated them. REST IN PEACE MCA one love

[@qwertyiuwg4uwtwthn]

Not to be "that guy" but mca's the bass player. Adrocks the guitar player.....

My god, where has the time gone? They look like they're 13 years old. I love this one. Great use of the riff from Cheap Trick's "Stiff Competition."

[@spiff2268]

I always wondered where that riff came from. Thanks!

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

I think they were 18 in this video.

[@chriscastillo4275]

Came here looking to see if it was sampled or their own. Thanks! Btw, I prolly should’ve known this I live near and work in Rockford IL where Cheap Trick is from. They have always celebrated them here so I’m surprised I’ve never heard it.

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

MCA is 21, Mike D is 20 and Ad-Rock is 19 here.

[@Jipwell]

Mike D was 12 or 13 when the group started in 1978 (the other members were 12, 15 and it’s hard to find anything out about the first bassist), MCA was nearly 17 when he joined in 1981 and Ad-Rock was the last to join at 15 in 1982. Goes to show musical talent is ageless. Could be 7 or 70

[@whumanbard]

This was considered hip-hop and no rock-oriented station would play it back in the day. I appreciate those that love the Beasties for their range in music, but before any of you who hate rap want to claim them, they were our first.

[@gfreshski]

Yes yall, this was 1985. First heard by many on the Krush Groove soundtrack from that year. This preceded their Licensed To Ill album.

Long Island radio station WLIR luckily had the balls to play this back when it came out. That was the first I’d heard the Beastie Boys.. I’m glad we had a cool station like that, it totally changed my musical tastes.

"While the Beastie Boys started as a punk band in the late 1970s, they had evolved into a hip hop band by the early 1980s. They then worked with Rick Rubin and Def Jam on the License to Ill LP, and became huge stars. "She's On It" was an early example of the Rick Rubin rap/rock style and Rubin even appears in the video. The song did not chart, but the video was played on MTV "

[@andersjohansson4934]

Somebody says something else is a poo-gay!

[@The.Ghost.of.Tom.Joad.]

Yeah. They were a punk band back then. I spun this all the time when DJing at my college radio station. So LICENSED TO ILL with it's heavy rap beats was a bit of a shock... but I still loved it. And played the shit out of that too. They came full circle, though. They reclaimed their punk roots in the late 90s when they rocked "Sabotage" with real instruments. Saw 'em in concert that tour and my ears are still bleeding! Don't matter. Rockin' or rappin', the Boys always knew how to tear the roof off the mother sucker.

[@danmeyer114]

Island/DefJam was called Def American recordings but is now called American Recordings. DefJam was a giveaway this was pre-1993.,🌚

[@sukhmaidickoff]

​@@lkjyuiop1987 You honestly think "shrooms" are safe? Even with regards to "weed" there are scientific reports clearly showing that young people who smoke weed are more likely to have problems with cognitive learning abilities than non-smokers. There are also scientific reports that clearly document that smoking weed will increase your risk of getting lung cancer. Some reports say you are more likely to have a psychosis if you smoke weed, however not all researchers agree about that. Anyway....people should decide by themselves what they do to their body.
