Beastie Boys on Being Stupid | Blank on Blank

The funniest part about Baby You Can Drive My Car is that it was just about sex and there was no car, either.

[@Slig1977]

I love them for the same reasons I love The Ramones. They made catchy, fun tunes that had an edge but they didn't take themselves too seriously. They had very NYC-style humor. They both agreed their music wasn't about anger but fun.

The album he was talking about recording at the beginning would end up as Licensed to Ill, which had Fight for your Right. So I guess he ended up being right about writing a classic song.

This is the kind of risk and creativity you can have with a public broadcaster. They don't rely solely on the profit motive. Good luck getting a series as profound and original from a corporation.

[@robertmiles3951]

Will Smith came across his rap persona in a similar way to the Beasties - while being angry and street was undeniably the sound at the time, both Will and the Beastie Boys chose to embrace the real beauty of hip-hop music, which is the sincerity. Will Smith told charming, silly, childish stories in a charming, silly, childish way, and he went on tour with Public "Motherfucking" Enemy. The Beastie Boys decided to be the best kinds of class clowns - the guys whose jokes and sarcasm comes with a weight and a consideration of the world around them, because that's who they were as people. Don't forget that their biggest hit, "Fight For Your Right (To Party)" was a sarcastic teardown of hard-partying 80's bro culture that they refused to play live from 1987 onward, once it became apparent that most people weren't in on the joke.

[@janglyjohn4635]

Will Smith is far from "real hip-hop". He conformed to pop music. The Beasties Boys made pop music conform to them.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

+exabez if that was the case, a legend like DJ Jazzy Jeff would've never been as Influencial as he ended up being.

This clown really wrote a essay comparing Will Smith to the Beastie Boys. I know this comment is ancient but I have to say that you are a fucking idiot. 💀

[@design1of470]

@@janglyjohn4635 Will Smith was very poppy, but him and MC Hammer broke hip-hop into the mainstream. Even the dudes in NWA loved Summertime.

[@TheRealBizWiz]

*I was blessed to be a 90’s teen and see the Beastie Boys three times.* One of which was at one of the Lollapalooza festivals. They were one of the first artists I saw that were very politically and socially conscious. They moved away from the type of content they did in the very early days and evolved. It was cool getting to see them live.

I read that as a rap verse

[@littlejimmyscumbag2551]

The Beastie Boys are the only white rappers I have ever liked. They knew the true roots of the music (JAMES BROWN) and knew how to stay true to a genre of music but most importantly make hit records while staying true to the genre. A lot of people will either make hits or stay true to the genre but it's essential to do both.

[@ferdinandndo8097]

Little Jimmy Scumbag Man these days the majority of black rappers sucks, i listen white rappers that are really good, it's obvious that there are more good black rappers... but i think you just commenting with not know very much of rap...

Recursive backronym alert: In the liner notes to "Some Old Bullshit" they claimed that Beastie was an acronym for "Boys Entering Anarchistic States Towards Internal Excellence" . Incidentally, Kate Schellenbach of Luscious Jackson was one of those boys.
