Fun fact: the guy on the flute is Jeremy Steig, who played as the Paid Piper in Shrek 4. His father was William Steig, writer of the first Shrek novel, later adapted into an animated movie.

[@dlxmarks]

The flute riff came from Jeremy Steig's 1970 song _Howlin' For Judy_ then it was sampled in 1994 by the Beasties then in 2010 Steig played the flute parts in the movie. A 40 year saga.

Recently I discovered a bass-line that I had somehow missed; instead of playing it on my reasonably fancy hi-fi, it was revealed to me on my low-budget sound-bar at work. This album has so many layers, so many styles, and such oozing abundance of talent and genius - this is something we will not witness again in the future.

[@GoZags43]

Man I gotta say it limits your worldview if you outright “hate” any music genre. It’s perfectly acceptable to like metal and other music genres. For some reason it seems like metal fans are particularly bad about limiting themselves to just one genre. That’s just so limiting when there is SO MUCH INCREDIBLE music out there from ALL Genres. I really like metal. I prefer more of the Hardcore sound-Black Flag, Bad Brains etc. but I can enjoy Slayer and love rap, country, pop. The “Metal” group I LOVE from more modern music is a band called “Torche”-absolutely incredible and unique sound. Try to expand your horizonsz. There are objectively “good” examples of all genres. As for Hip Hop, I’m guessing it’s the energy? Lyricism? Inventiveness? Of the Beastie Boys that causes you to enjoy them? I’d suggest OutKast for sure if you like those three aspects of the Beastie Boys. As for current artists, Run the Jewels is a group of two guys that should blow you away- Killer Mike-one of the most intelligent and imposing lyricists ever and El-P-one of the greatest producers ever who is a great rapper as well.

I came here because of shrek 4, and I didn’t hear the original version of this song before that, so I was incredibly surprised when I discovered that the flute part was real and not a cover or something.

[@Sledge3651]

Imagine Gen Alpha only just discovering the Beastie Boys now. It would be "new" to them, which is kinda special.

[@LosPonitex]

I love Beastie boys lyrics, they got meaning .

[@clvrswine]

*they have meaning, not they got meaning. Simple, basic English.

[@edtietz]

I don't care what color their skin is, they brought their message to their people back then. Well done.

[@posajnejkwahb]

The Beasties only needed a couple outfits and a camera and they still made some of the most entertaining videos ever

[@alc6670]

Nobody did it like the Beasties....miss them so much. RIP MCA

"It's time to pay the piper!" Some people don't know what I'm quoting when it comes to this song and movies...

[@FuuLLSpeeD]

SkyHighPizza i know Notorious BIG says that in Hypnotize, so that's the best it can get.

[@lilowat]

Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, House Of Pain, Run DMC Hip-hop legends

[@VenturiLife]

Run DMC wrote a few of Beastie's hits. “Slow And Low” for example.
