FIRST TIME HEARING Beastie Boys - B-Boy Bouillabaisse (REACTION)

[@pointsur67]

That's why they called the song "B-Boy Bouillabaisse". They are throwing EVERYTHING into the pot, or better yet, one track.

[@dizastro5437]

Isley Bros ftw

[@pubuapubua]

It should have been a double album.

[@jamesoblivion]

That bass drop on Hello Brooklyn is brutal. This album is a masterpiece of production.

[@aureawolf3382]

When I was 17, I used to hang out at some friends' apartment and one of them would blast that part pretty much every morning around 5:00am. Disturbing the neighbors when most of the people in the apartment hadn't gone to sleep yet. Obnoxious youth. 😆

[@dizastro5437]

[@bobtwichew3103]

No doubt. This track is better than most groups albums.

[@ericfenske4210]

I think it’s crazy that Paul’s Boutique was their second album, released in the late 80s and is still on the best produced, most innovative records in hip hop history....an absolute masterpiece that can be listened to continuously

[@dizastro5437]

For the best in men's clothing... Call, Paul's Boutique. They are in Brooklyn...

[@Mr_Clean]

** 3rd ** dont forget Pollywog Stew back when they were a punk band.

[@bobtwichew3103]

And it was considered a bust when it came out. They didn't even tour after Paul's Boutique was released. Back to the lab and the result was Check Your Head 3 years later. My top 2 favorite albums from them. Hello Nasty 3rd. Peace

[@Terry3Gs]

Yeah ... Hello Brooklyn was a track that if you had a kick ass bass setup in your car .. it would leave you shaking like crazy !! Every time that " boooommm booommmm ba boooommm booommmm " would kick out in my buds car with 1200 watts pushing through a long pass sealed enclosure with 2x12's .. it would feel like you where in a bad earthquake. LOL This was just 1 of the big albums " the dust brothers " got famous for bass sampling / line's on.

[@thecapricorn11]

classic

[@biohazard_613]

⁠@@Terry3Gswhat is a long pass sealed enclosure? I’ve done car audio since ’86 and I honestly have never heard anything called that before. I know some times that we call things by different terms in different areas so I’m wondering if it’s just a different term for something that I’m already familiar with.

[@_Mr_Blue_Sky_]

Actually the whole album is a hip hop masterpiece.

[@robertconard8555]

The fact that they released this as a "bouillabaisse" mix and not several different tracks is nothing short of legendary. This is a hip-hop milestone for sure. I had this back in the day on cassette and I remember always being pissed that it would fast forward or rewind through the whole track when all I wanted to do was listen to "Year and a Day" again. 🤣😎🎧🔥

[@t.c.bramblett617]

I had the cassette too lol. The green one I played it in my Cutlass Supreme handed down from my parents .... nothing felt more dope than rolling around with this tape playing

[@recepcaomaripanema7766]

Miles Davis claimed he never got tired of listening to it, and Public Enemy’s Chuck D even said, ‘The dirty secret among the Black hip hop community at the time of the release was that had the best beats.”

[@nitedreamer23]

I heard the Chuck D quote but that Miles quote: is that real? Crazy.

[@AdamDray]

"Bouillabaisse" is a traditional French seafood stew. The word carries the connotation of just throwing whatever you have into a pot to make soup. Pronunciation is sorta "BOO-yah-base": kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWnEY5KPnMx7e8U

[@bobtwichew3103]

Word up,thanks for the explanation. I never knew that and never took the time to research it. Big ups my brother.

[@bgray625]

At 8:54: "I caught a bullet in the lung from Bernie (Bern-hard) Goetz" I'm a New Yorker (Flatbush, Brooklyn, RIP MCA). When Goetz shot those guys on the subway in the 80's the news reported his name alternately as "Bernie" or "Bernhard". Layers upon layers. Man, you can geek out SO HARD on this album.

[@cuseyeti5243]

That Hello Bklyn bassline has damaged way too many of my car speakers over the years. Loves it!

[@mwburnett74]

Most sampled album in music history. The broke the mold. The laws for sampling beats were changed forever because of this album. A masterpiece and my all time favorite Beastie album.

[@mpcollins1769]

Paul’s Boutique was released in 1989 and in 2021 people are still trying to figure it all out

[@MouthMIKe]

More talent and creativity in one track then some peoples whole careers! Great reaction!

[@bobtwichew3103]

Absolutely

[@lordfizzz]

Facts

[@navocar]

This song was their "Strawberry Fields" of their catalogue of greatness. Like the Beatles song, it showcases all their talents..on the mic and on the mix. It is a song that can only be heard after your ear has been opened to the awesomeness that is the Beastie Boys.

[@mattgurleymusic]

"A Year and a Day" is just MCA letting his spirit fly. I get tears in my eyes, it's so good.

[@LibertySpam]

I love this song.... Probably my favorite of theirs and it SLAPS

[@mn-wk3ju]

This is their grand finale on the Paul’s Boutique album 💿

[@mdd47]

They just threw this shit on the end of the record like it was nothing. LOL. Fucking masterpiece!

[@teenagetruck]

"A Year and a Day" was one of the best 2 minutes of hiphop that will ever exist. Long live MCA

[@nitedreamer23]

Indeed!

[@FernandoRiley]

This was their Sgt Pepper moment

[@charlesderosas5577]

"hello brooklyn" is definitively the birth of hip hop.

[@AlphaLimaXray]

This was a compilation of various interludes and incomplete songs that the Beastie Boys and Dust Brothers felt were just too good to leave off the album. The reissue of the album has the parts of the overall song as separate tracks.

[@Tommo77ful]

This guys reaction to "Year and a Day" is exactly how I feel and look whenever I hear it!! Freaks people out when I'm walking down the street but I don't give and sh!t and just keep vibing :D

Bro, that part in the middle MCA does the solo rapping section "A Year and Day" he bought a used Air Force helmet or similar item rigged a mic inside of it and recorded that alone at home all bugged out. He was a super creative out of the box kind of thinker. Also around this time they were experimenting with psychedelics and just buggin out making music. Soon after this period MCA went to Tibet and experienced some inner changes and became a Buddhist. They really are in a class of their own. Thanks for sticking with them I really enjoy what you do. Respect Fam!

[@djstarsign]

He was the most technical and adventurous of the trio. I saw the live “show” in Brooklyn when the book came out and they were both like “we always hung out with Yauch and somehow he knew way more shit than we did. How did he find the time to learn these things, we were always with him. He was just smarter and more experimental and more motivated than us.” It was cool to hear them acknowledge how much respect they had for him.

About '93 I'd heard of B-Boys, but really knew nothing about them. A buddy of mine brought his old Licensed to Ill tape one night we were cruising around. I instantly was hooked. I went out and got Check Your Head because it was pretty new at the time. It was so different, but I loved it too. Then we really got into B-Boys and another buddy found Paul's Boutique. We put the tape in and To All the Girls started playing and we all thought, "What the hell is this?!" Then Shake Your Rump started and the album just kept getting better. Then not long after that, Ill Communication came out! What a great musical time in my life!! I still listen to them on a daily basis, any and all songs!

[@tomboedeker8479]

If you think of this track as a 12 minute album, it makes more sense. My favorite part is Stop That Train, about the D-Train that goes from Manhattan, through Brooklyn and all the way out to Queens. Cool slice of life story with a funky-ass groove. The cover art and some bars on Hello Nasty are call backs to the line on this track about stuck between stations and feeling like sardines packed in a can.

[@megarocks911]

Great reaction my friend ❤️.

[@Puschit1]

When you said "And I already know what time it is" I just thought to myself with a smile "no ... no you don't, this will be different from everything else you know" :) Now somebody tell Swaggy that the entire Paul's Boutique album was made with this style, everything transitions into the next song and the B-Boy-Bouillabaisse itself is just a section of a giant song. Ever reacted to a less known Sir Mix-A-Lot song? My favourite would be "Don't call me dada" which has an amazingly layered beat and very funny lyrics. That guy is so underrated.
