BLACK TEENAGER FIRST TIME HEARING Beastie Boys - Three MC's And One DJ | REACTION

[@brendanmoul5913]

Mike D, King Adrock, & MCA w/Dj Mixmaster Mike. They performed that song live in one take. Nobody ever mentions that. Mixmaster Mike did that whole song on ONE turntable.

[@pyenapple]

Yup. The beat is all just cutting and scratching the one record

[@elfcounsul]

Sabotage

[@ericfullmer8690]

Mixmaster Mike is a legendary DJ. In 1994, rumor was that him and QBert were asked to retire from the DMC World Championships to avoid monopolizing the title. Him & Qbert became judges in 1995. He was a founding member of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, one of, if not the best turnbalist crews. He also created the Tweak scratch.

[@waynedeason213]

They recorded this live, once. No breaks no edits just record it and they were done.

[@pyenapple]

He’s basically the best dj in the world in terms of turntable skills.

[@ericfullmer8690]

He was a founding member of the greatest turntablist crew, Invisibl Skratch Piklz. As far as individually, I'd have to go with QBert.

[@xombiekat13]

@@ericfullmer8690 Yeah, Q won the DMC world championship 3 years in a row and then stopped competing to give other people a chance. A true innovator of techniques and styles. I'm sure over the last 25 years there's been some amazing turntablists but no one has had as much influence as these two legends.

[@PixelPro-4000]

The Beastie Boys are the best selling rap group of all time, by far. They released 8 rap albums from 1985 through 2011. The first of which went Diamond, and the other went at least platinum, double platinum, and even triple platinum.

[@sebastianthurmond498]

King Ad-Rock - Green Sweater Mike D - Beige Jacket MCA - Navy Blue Top DJ- Mix Master Mike They compare to no one. They are the Beastie Boys. They do hip-hop, Hardcore, Bossanova, Fusion Jazz and anything else they want to do. No one is the lead. Although MCA was the heart and soul of the group. He sadly passed away in 2012 of cancer.

[@infuse4448]

Mix Master Mike isnt a part of Beastie Boys although he did work for them during the late 90s onward

[@BreakerOneNine07]

​@infuse4448 They have said that they considered their DJs at the moment as part of the band.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Beastie Boys (1979-2012 Adam Horowitz, Adam Yauch, and Michael Diamond ---Adrock, MCA, Mike D) were there alongside Run DMC, the Fat Boys, Grandmaster Flash and Curtis Blow from the beginning. They helped Rick Rubin start Def Jam records, discovered LL Cool J. They were the first rap group to sell a Platinum album. Their debut album, License to Ill is still the biggest selling rap album ever. Run Dmc and Jam master Jay are the Kings of Rap but the Beasties are the crowned princes.

[@mikefetterman6782]

As Chuck D once said, Run Dmc took rap to the edge of the boroughs, and the Beasties took it right down the mainstreet down town.

[@burntumbrage6868]

It’s MCA that died, not AdRock (Adam Youch=MCA, Adam Horowicz=AdRock)

[@filterfreephotography]

And don't forget the incredible First Ladies of Rap -- Salt-N-Pepa with DJ Spinderella.

Man we need the reactors to do the " let get it together" ft Q-Tip......one of their best projects

[@jeremypletz4955]

i love it when people start to get down with the beastie boys. i went to lollapalooza 94 JUST to see them.

[@jeremypletz4955]

you need to listen to either slow and low or looking down the barrel of a gun

[@StevieDrawStuff]

I saw them there too

[@texashookem22]

"I don't know anybody in the history of the music industry...I don't know who I could compare them to..."

[@SD-it9ne]

All 3 were rapping in Intergalactic. You probably couldn't tell because they were dressed alike. Re-watch it & listen to the voices.

[@JenSell1626]

🙏

[@seamusburke639]

There is no "lead" singer. All three trade rhymes and vocals. They're basically a three headed rapper.

[@paulb808]

Every single Beastie Boys song brings this energy! They are the best, funny dudes that can rock the hell out of a crowd. If you want their modern 2011 sound check out "Non-Stop Disco Powerpack" or "Pop Your Balloon". If you want their 80s sound check out "The New Style", "Rhymin & Stealin", "Shadrach". If you want their 90s sound check out "Jimmy James", "Pass the Mic", "Get It Together ft Q-tip" "Super Disco Breakin", "The Move", "Unite", if you want their 2000s sound check out "Ch-Check It Out", "Right Right Now Now", "An Open Letter to NYC",

[@JasonVeisberg]

Rhyming and stealing it’s probably my favorite song from the first album and besides no sleep till Brooklyn has the best official video. Gratitude really shows that they were much more than just rappers

[@StevieDrawStuff]

As someone else said, this was live and one take with one record for the beat, pure talent. Shake your Rump and Check it out are also great. Beasties always take turns on the mic. Saw them in the 90s at Lollapalooza and they were amazing. RIP to MCA..

[@brittanybigelow7299]

AD Rock is the one who raps 'don't worry I'll take of ya.' The purple shirted one is MCA (RIP) and the other one is Mike D. And side note: they all rap off of each other. They all sing lead in this group. ❤

[@patricksiney]

These guys are just so much fun. Just good times with the beastie boys.

[@MrWinky69]

Im 50. Beastie boys were the shit when they came out. Remember man...your body changes your mind and soul does not.

[@wjadam024]

Mix Master Mike is arguably the worlds greatest turntablist. He's been in some legendary scratch battles.

[@J.MappGoode]

I was a punk rock kid in Mississippi of all places. And when the Beastie boys came out I was right on top of that. I even listened to their punk albums that came in the beginning. I think it's so cool to see someone younger listening to the Beastie boys. Hell yeah

[@shanadellos6034]

Dude welcome into the wormhole of countless amazing tracks, videos and comedy and amazing talent from the legendary Beastie Boys! Dive deep and you will really dig them all!!!!

[@petercofrancesco9812]

Someone can correct me but I think this was done live for MTV, the intro fun on it's own, makes more sense as it was great way to build anticipation. I love video because it's no frills, special effects, one take performance, and obviously the DJ Mike kills it.

[@707RipOtee]

You know they play punk music also! 🤘 They also have a jazzy instrumental album too! Musicians all of them!

[@korybeavers6528]

Ad Rock , MCA, and Mike D, this was in the late 90's and was done as a throwback to their early days as pioneers in the NY rap scene with RUN DMC, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy. You should check out their early with Paul Revere, and This is the New Style, these were 2 of the most requested singles on NY rap radio back in 85

[@BradYaeger]

There's only a handful of DJ's that can do just one of Mix Master Mike 's breakdowns or beats if they have all day . Let alone this entire song done in ONE take . Guys a damn wizard .

Mix Master Mike is fir sure part of the group

[@DirtCheapFU]

Honestly, objectively, its always been hard to say because he came to them later on. He is definitely, part of the essence of the Beastie Boys. His role was pretty much the same as Rick Rubin and MC Run during, their earlier, DefJam years. There are some stories of how MC Run would pitch them ideas, that coach them into some of their hit tracks like Paul Revere, etc. MMM had a similar moment with the intro call to this track.

[@bryehn]

Mixmaster Mike is legendary

[@joshuatmanion8010]

This was piped in live as their performance for an Mtv Music awards. No beat machine, just the one record.

[@DaisyAzuras]

They always take turns in their songs rapping different sections. As for the DJ… that is LEGENDARY DJ Mix Master Mike. He created all the music live using just the single turntable and a record.

[@RobertUnderhill-b2m]

Check out the Beasties performing live on Letterman from the subway walking the streets into the studio where mix master Mike is performing 🔥 also live on letterman Sabotage is an epic performance

My favorites other than this are "So Watcha Want" and "Shake Your Rump", I'd love to see you react to those, both bring the energy. You're witnessing the genius of DJ Mix Master Mike, man won so many DJ competitions they asked him to stop competing.

[@josephramirez3688]

Beastie Boys are the greatest group of all time and not just in hip hop

[@laraismyname821]

They've had a few DJs. Mix Master Mike here replaced DJ Hurricane (who you'll see in many of their older videos). And yeah they always toss it back & forth between the 3 of them--there's not really a 'lead' singer. Ad-Rock is in the green crew neck sweater ("don't worry I'll take care of ya" dude), Mike D is wearing the tan jacket & MCA is the dude with the blue/purple with the raspy voice.

[@BrentLane1]

Mix master mike is a genius on the tables no doubt. And “check your head” is the beastie’s best album in my opinion, also don’t forget they started out as a punk band. 🔥

[@DrBoneright]

There IS a video of Mix Master Mike only for this video. Search 3MCs and 1 DJ isolated DJ. Same video just showing the DJ for the whole song.

[@NickLowC]

They literally introduced the dj and themselves as they rap,, i just wished people listened to the lyrics, I even have to research who they talk about in their songs, even though Iv been listening to them since fith grade and I’m 48 now

[@DirtCheapFU]

It's funny. Their lyrics are references and homages to where they came from, and been to and where they were at that time. Over the years, you kinda don't listen to them. "I rock from Manhattan to the Miracle Mile". When they left New York and DefJam. They moved to LA, under Capitol, where they recorded Paul's Boutique, etc.

[@SleepingTiger-vlog]

Please react to Beastie Boys "Ch-Check It Out" live on Letterman. It's recorded live starting from the subway station going to the tv show set and it's just bad ass. They have so many really good songs and fun videos. Shake Your Rump, Sure Shot, So What'Cha Want, Sabatoge and many more

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Would love to hear your reaction to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" it would be great for linking with this one. Check out the Beastie Boys song "Triple Trouble" also, it's my favorite by them.

Just to correct you. In intergalactic they are all singing. There's never one main rapper in beasties boys, all 3 cut in between each other. Also there hasn't been a rap group similar to beasties boys ever since beasties boys (also no rap group has last longer than beasties boys)

[@PatBlackwell-z3i]

Don't forget they have to get paid and then be gone

[@panrick]

It's wild you thought Intergalactic was one rapper. you couldn't have been more wrong. Do all white people look alike and sound alike to you? It's three MCs, rhyming in a style that people don't rhyme no more. They trade off lines to each other, much like how it was done in early days of hip hop. it funny to hear you say "I'm trying to figure out the dynamics of this group, are all these guys in the group? which one is the DJ?" Dude, it's not only in the video but it's the god damn title of the song. 3 MC's and 1 DJ. what is so hard to figure out? It's right there in front of you happening on the screen, all 3 are rhyming and one dude is DJing, what are you confused about? it's wild that teenagers today have no clue about Hip Hop culture. or can't even figure out the obvious.

[@faith.s_mom]

Hi hon!! You should look them up on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, 2 of them passed away quite young (one at 47, another at 54?). When they came out in early 80's they were WAY ahead their time~ and 100% original (my young daughter at the time absolutely loved them!).
