Beastie Boys - Three MC's And One DJ (REACTION)

[@jammabubbly522]

They were the first rappers to have #1 album in USA in 1986 with Licence To Ill

[@TanyaQueen182]

I can still sing that entire album word for word front to back hahah

[@KennethNesbit-y6t]

Checkout Rapture by Blondie -

[@kyndread71]

Much props, I had to research that because I thought it was Run-DMC's "Raising Hell" (got to #3 in 1986)

[@WR3ND]

I still got that in vinyl.

[@elbruces]

MixMaster Mike won the world DJ championship so many times that they asked him to stop entering so somebody else could have a chance.

[@williamhatchjr2307]

He won three consecutive years. There have been a few that have also achieved this as well. That isn't to take away from Mike, who is an absolute MONSTER!

[@bexxgenx3165]

I love this FACT.

[@jax2428]

Ain't nobody cooler than the Beastie Boys. This is real hip hop. That's dope you dig it.🔥

[@brianwalsh2173]

Go down the beastie boys rabbit hole, it’s brilliant. They don’t miss. The entire license to ill album brought hip hop to the mainstream. “New Style” is incredible fast forward a few years to collaboration with Q Tip “ Get it together”. Enjoy the journey.

[@paulamoya7956]

That was Broadcast Live from the MTV awards show . They literally announced the Beastie Boys then cut to the street Where Mic Master Mike was walking to the Building where the BB’s Basement studio was located for many many years in Brooklyn . They performed this Live in One Take for the MTV Music Awards . I watched this Live that night and over a hundred times since . I e been to several Beastie boys concerts in 80’s & 90’s . Their first album came out my Senior Year 🔥. The rest is History ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ please listen to their first two albums in their entirety . Licensed to I’ll and Paul’ s Boutique . Preferably in that order . Do Paul’s Boutique first please. 🙏 and Thanks⭐️

[@thomperkins]

Same. I remember watching them play Sabotage on Letterman and loving it. Paul’s Boutique was so ahead of its time. You couldn’t financially make that album today with the amount of samples on it.

[@paulb808]

Banger. 🔥 Still holds up 26 years later!

[@MilesHancock-q3m]

This came out when the Beastie Boys had already been famous for 20 years. They were established, hungry, innovative, and unique beyond compare.

[@jammabubbly522]

I love beastie boys since i was 13, I'm 51 now😁👍

[@freekshow197888]

The beastie boys reaction brought me to your channel. Your personality brought me back and earned a subscribe

it was one of his routine and they used it to make this track... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyrZ5yqrbean8ksi=7Hbr2cUFrkBwP6T0

Live, 1 take, DJ doing the whole beat

Root Down Shake Your Rump Sure Shot 😻😻😻

[@rawbrob1079]

Beastie boys wasn't the beginning of hip hop but they definitely helped hip hop be what it is today. They were doing shit no one was doing. This is hip hop royalty my friend.

[@mattblatchley2061]

Awesome...i think this was even a throwback when they did this like 30 years ago!!!

[@teagusmeagus7168]

Dude, zodiacs were big before me and I’m 58. The hippies in the 60s used it as a pick up line “hey baby, what’s your sign?”

[@tomk_616]

"In the South, this is disrespectful. This'll start a fight" 😂😂😂 So true, lmao.

In NYC you can get into mostly any building with a clipboard. I'd definitely hold the door for anyone with that backpack.

[@erichburger1935]

This song was originally released on Hello Nasty in 1999. But the Beasties did a lot to represent the roots of hip hop throughout their careers. As this was the model for original Hip Hop. Sure Shot!!!!

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

You could check out Mix Master Mike - He was a DJ legend and won the title in '92 and '93 and was basically asked to retire because he was too good - He worked with the Beastie Boys quite a bit.

[@greggibson3093]

Goddam that DJ made my day....

[@MilesHancock-q3m]

The party don't start until the DJ arrives!!!

[@notquitedone51]

Not the beginning of hip hop, just the perfection.

[@jammabubbly522]

Check No Sleep Til Brooklyn 👍

[@AndICanTalk2]

The New Style from this band will blow you away.

[@SleepingTiger-vlog]

Love the Beastie reactions. This is the 3rd one I've watched. Hope you keep posting more.

[@DJArkum69]

It looks like a Proton Pack from a Ghostbusters movie to me

[@o1badmofo763]

It is

[@jonesdooblin8079]

Coolest backpack ever

[@AdamHodges-o6x]

Exterminator’s back pack

[@DJArkum69]

@AdamHodges-o6x I mean, isn't a proton pack an exterminator pack, it just exterminats ghosts. Lol

[@TheOogaBoogaMan]

OMG I laughed out loud when you said.. " IN THE SOUTH.... " .. I knew what was comin' ... LOL NEW SUBSCRIBER ! LOL THAT COMMENT ALONE!!

[@josephramirez3688]

So happy to see a new Beastie Boys fan. I been a fan since they came out in 1986 and they're still my favorite of all time.

[@danimalplanet7931]

The zodiac ish been around forever dawg! It was cliche of EARLY hip hop records (1979-82ish), Beasties doing loving tribute to it here

[@woodrowu]

"Shake your rump" by the Beastie Boys.

I want Mike Ds hat from that one!

[@russ_3790]

Bro, you gotta get on that "Licesend To ILL" album. There are so many bangers. Great reaction! Keep it up!

[@laraismyname821]

Mix Master Mike is one of the best DJs of all time. And I think he's still working. You gotta appreciate the skill it takes to basically supply the whole "band" (drums, bass, etc.) for this track using nothing but a turntable & pure talent.

[@AdamHodges-o6x]

Only one turn table at that

[@williamhatchjr2307]

Liscensed To Ill was released in late1986, when I was in 7th Grade, I was 12. These cats are absolute Hip Hop Roylaty. Rest In Beats, MCA.

[@philchurch1115]

I remember it well back in the day and at first, I didn't like it until I listened to the songs and understood.

[@alexiscausleywaabagiizhigo8606]

We love these reactions cuz we were raised on it. From a Gen Xer

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

It’s hard to think of more iconic Gen X figures than the Beasties. They were instrumental in creating a lot of our generation’s culture (especially in the 90’s). Trend setters in so many ways.

[@donnielee5331]

We knew we were witnessing history when it dropped on MTV....you could feel it.

[@chrisnoble5969]

It's a proton pack. Dudes a Straight up Ghost Buster.

[@TanyaQueen182]

yay Boogie!! You have NO IDEA how much I love the Beastie Boys! Been listening to them since they came out when I was in middle/ high school (yea I'm old haha) Could I suggest you do "Paul Revere" next? It's a story telling Rap. That's my personal favorite. There's no official video, but they do have it on their youtube. :)

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

I love seeing appreciation for Beastie today. They got more hate than deserved back in the day. Absolute legends.

[@bexxgenx3165]

The backpack is a nod to Ghostbusters! You basically got there yourself!😂 Also, as NYer, I'm always amazed at ppls reactions to our everyday life. Like we're aliens lol. But then again, we are a different breed!

[@jasonpirok]

That's a portable record player on MMM back. He uses that to listen to LP's at the record store.

MEANWHILE......SPONGEBOB...... 40...... YEARS........LATER.......😊😊😊

[@johnc.hammersticks]

The DJ is mix master mike. He was the reason i got into spinning vinyl.....i still have rare vinyl from those days stored away with my decks. No digital for us, took me about 2 years to get really good. Beastie boys also have great breakdancing beats .flute loop off ill communication won me a contest. Its sad MC A. Is gone, i will always love the beastie boys, i grew up with their music

[@WR3ND]

That is a Proton Pack my dude. Bustin' makes me feel good!

[@BillyVatcher]

Now you see the link between the ghostbusters and the beastie boys and the video of Ren what you want which will become even more apparent with watching Intergalactic

[@VIM731]

Mix Master MIKE!!! The all time baddest of spinning vinyl. Look at what he's doing here. One record

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

I love these Beastie Boys reactions, they were innovators ahead of their time, they were some of the best samplers of all time. Anything off of the album Paul’s boutique is legendary, start with Shake, your rump, or Car Or High Plains drifter

[@Evan-lr8nq]

Paul’s Boutique is so dam good.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

If you’re digging through Golden Era Hip Hop, I recommend you head out West next and react to “Drop” by Tha Pharcyde. The hook is just a scratched sample from a Beasties song and some humming. That whole Pharcyde album was produced by the one and only J Dilla when his abilities were just starting to peak.

[@bradhardisty1652]

This really shows the roots of what the original street rap was like. Producer Rick Rubin caught this when most everybody was doing R&B production.

[@KMF_Talon]

MCA (RIP) has a line in Intergalactic that goes "We are from the family tree of old school hip hop"... He isn't boasting or lying, straight fact!

[@bobsylvester88]

Almost every person I watch react to this get salty because the dude walks out the door before the DJ walks in. The dude walking out opened the door! If he didn’t open the door, the DJ would’ve never gotten in. The guy opening the door has the right of way. He’s not the DJ’s Doorman.

Hip-hop in nyc been around since the mid 70s. Besties first rap album license to ill came out in 86 or 87 so a little later than the beginning.

[@amyl.converse9600]

Ghostbusters shout-out!!! The Zodiak sign thing really started in the 60's (that's 1960's!) as a hippie thing. It became so over-used that by the Disco period it became a lame pickup line (we women would quickly walk away from any guy who asked us our sign. Lol). I had NO IDEA it had made a comeback!! I think you should be the one quickly walking away from any woman who asks you your sign~ she CRAZY!!

[@Whistler4u]

It was live during the VMA's.

[@jerryobrien5944]

[@Dadmasterjames]

Innovators! They turned me on to so much funk, jazz, soul and other stuff

[@trickhayproductions]

Beastie Boys and Grandmaster Flash started around 1979.

[@ScottLovenberg]

They were at this for... Oh, four decades? They were pioneers and musicians from every genre pay homage (Does the cover to License To Ill look familiar to you? Em was paying homage with his entire album cover) and recognize BB as the punk band that transitioned to their own early form of hip hop that influenced the early scene. Especially east coast tri-state rap. To see how they changed, listen to their first hit, "Fight For Your Right To Party", which came out a few years before this , then skip ahead a decade and listen to "sabotage" (watch the music videos whenever a song has one; the videos are half of the experience and they're award winning at times) and then skip ahead a decade from that period and listen to "Intergalactic". They continued to make new music for two at least another decade after that era up until Adam died of cancer. They never stopped writing and touring and evolving until the band wasn't whole and they respectfully refused to continue without all three members. There was no replacing any individual and it wouldn't be the same. The Beastie Boy journey is wild. Definitely check out their album Paul's Boutique, their most experimental and criticality beloved album, too. It was reportediy Miles Davis' favorite album just before he passed away.

not quite the beginning of hip hop but they were at the heart of it so between 95-05 it felt hip hop was at its peak with lyricist and turntable-ist cooking like never before or after.

[@ericlewandowskivlogs]

MIX MASTER MIKE laying down the beat!

[@ornotgortwormiii8731]

I read that the Ghostbuster backpack thing is what exterminators wear/use when working in apartment buildings like in NYC. It has to be compact so the guy can just walk into an apartment to spot spray for bugs. Don't know if that's correct or not. Shake Your Rump and Paul Revere are necessary stops along the Beastie Boy rabbit hole. Also check out Fight For Your Right, the song that started it all.

[@korybeavers6528]
