FIRST TIME HEARING Beastie Boys - Sabotage • REACTION!!!

[@robertcraane7910]

Beastie Boys exploding again after 34 years is already the best thing of 2021

[@angelabordack]

Fuck yeah!!! 🤟

[@whiteboysteve4474]

I second this

[@goldboy150]

I one hundred and thirty third it!

[@sassymessmess9110]

I don't why it started or who started it off but it's so cool!

[@Cornflake420]

Yes!!! My daughter actually believes me when I tell them these guys are legit now.

[@quikspecv4d]

This video played on MTV constantly back in the day. When MTV actually played music.

[@dawatcherz]

a long ass time ago, in what feels like a galaxy far far away

[@sassymessmess9110]

I remember!

[@KeithEngel]

Beach MTV and the commercial for the Video with the guy in the Taxi was the funniest thing.

[@srbmod93]

One of my favorite Beavis & Butthead moments is when they're watching the video for it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWOQhICQhreakJY

Yeah remember "buzz clips"? This was definitely in that category

[@susangillam7860]

Kid Rock could never! He wishes he was this good.

[@tnev3717]

This a million times over!!!

[@paulkersey1007]

LOL

[@donowens2140]

Yes, please don't disrespect THE BEASTIE BOYS, by comparing them to Kid Rock!

[@r13hd22]

Beastie Boys were hitting this hard when Kid Rock was still in grade school. Seriously. Kid Rock was 12 years old when the Boys were already working for Def Jam Records.

[@twillymantheoneandonly5587]

Kid Rock already dropped his rap album before sabbatage came out. "Yodeling in the valley" Kid Rock has KID hair from house party.....it's pretty terrible. The album dropped in December 1990 and Vanilla ice "to extreme" dropped 3 months earlier in September. So basically "Yodeling in the Valley" was dead on impact. The Beastie Boys are one of the first hip hop groups to break out big. They did it right by coming out on Def Jam, with nothing but respect for hip hop, specifically new york hip hop. They were opening for Run DMC......if that doesn't get u over in hip hop, nothing will.

[@r13hd22]

@@twillymantheoneandonly5587 GFTO here with your bullshit. Kid Rocks first album was in 1990. 4 years after the Beastie Boys first ALBUM...8 YEARS after their first single....12 YEARS after their formation. Kid Rock was 7 years old when they started rapping.

[@brennanthabault9449]

Thhat was colubia records album

[@r13hd22]

@@brennanthabault9449 ...I did not say this was from Def Jam, I said Kid Rock was 12 years old when the Beastie Boys got started...and their first album was on Def Jam. In fact, Def Jams Rick Rubin's second single was the Beastie Boys single called Rock Hard back in 1984.

[@paulau7981]

He was probably more inspired by license to ill

[@cherylloliver3251]

They were wayyyyy ahead of their time. The rap/rock ratio was on point

[@lasv15]

Fact!

[@susangillam7860]

THis song live is so good. They play their own instruments.

[@hmaz7637]

MCA is amazing on that bass! The live performance at the MTV awards is legendary!

[@Smoshy16]

They absolutely killed it on Letterman!

[@stephensporman8206]

They have an amazing performance of this on david letterman too.

[@leonu70]

Another hip hop group that is also a band is the Roots crew from Philly. Seen them in concert. They can play

[@reanimated]

Being in the pit for this song (in 1997) was dangerous!

[@dodgingcars]

This is them. This was directed by now Hollywood director Spike Jones.

[@0okamino]

Also well-known for Weezer's _Buddy Holly_ video. If you wanted a very interesting, quirky music video, you went to Spike.

[@revwroth3698]

Did he do the Bloodhound Gang stuff?

[@timmyisbig]

Just for the record the Beastie Boy's were the 3rd hip-hop/ rap artist to be inducted into the Roc n Roll Hall of fame, after Grand Master flash( being the first) than Run DMC. They are recognized as one of the best ever by all.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Thank you for your answer. Beastie's well deserve the induction.

[@lpgibbo7463]

They took alot of flack back in the 80s with the VW badge thing but they were still around more than 20 years laters when all the haters were history. True artists, I'm 50 from the UK & still listen to them, modern hip hop is sh*te! 🤣🤣

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

and kid rock was one of the artists paying tribute to them that day. He did MCA's parts in a live medley at the Hall of Fame.

[@chuckcarter1182]

They started in the punk scene, got their break in the rap world and License to Ill gave them the juice to do whatever the hell they wanted to do. Beastie Boys were truly music pioneers!!!

[@shortbusdriver83]

See: Some Old Bullshit. When they had a girl in the band.

[@thetextpistols7354]

Bruh! Come on, man. I thought you like the Beasties? Why you cussin em with the Kid Rock blasphemy? Kid Rock can’t hold they jock. But you know he wants to

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Kid Rock is a piece of shit as a person, but still a talented musician. KR definitely bit off a lot of BB style though.

[@m809krazee]

My thoughts exactly, they are non comparable. Bestie Boys Legendary!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Beasties inspired every single hip hop/rap artist that came after them. Hip hop Royalty.

[@ocnbrze2003]

not only are they dope, but they are playing their own instruments in this song.....actually the whole album this is from, they played their own music......so gifted these guys....GOAT!!!!!!!

[@michaelkb8783]

I don't think the Beasties would ever work with Kid Rock given their political leanings.... and the huge discrepancy in talent. :)

[@wolfman-up7dh]

When everything cut out and the bass came back in for a solo, that's a perfect example of my favorite thing in music.

[@christymurphy6571]

Kids Rock actually performed with 2 others when Beastie Boys were inducted in Rock n Roll Hall of fame.

[@michellez1414]

And it was a really terrible performance. Disservice to the BBoys.

[@bigstevee747]

Travie and The Roots were the other performers.

[@eh_train02]

“Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun” is amazing. The whole Paul’s Boutique album for that matter.

[@lorenzobandztv6389]

Sabotage was definitely one of my favorite Beastie Boyz songs growing up.

[@fool1shmortal]

I never expected I’d hear it in a Star Trek movie, albeit a reboot of the original Star Trek’s movies/-kind of.

[@franksbtka1624]

When I saw them perform in Inglewood during their Hello Nasty tour, they closed out their set with this song. They were on a round, rotating stage with a giant mosh pit going all around the stage. I wasn't on the floor for that show, but I was in the section just above the floor. It was awesome. There is footage of the performance from that tour online in black and white, but I think the one on KZbin is from their set in Ireland or something. But the performance is exactly how I remembered it with the round stage and everything lol. Also, that main riff you're hearing is actually played by MCA on a bass guitar, which gives it that heavy sound. That's them in the video too. I believe Spike Jonze might've directed this video. I know he directed most, if not all, of their videos.

[@djh7838]

Sabotage is known in the annals of music videos as the greatest music video that was ever done. Spike Jonez directed this masterpiece. The Beastie Boys are icons and are one of the most talented music groups of all time!!!!

[@bennyb44875]

Funny thing about their videos, They wouldn't get permits to make them, they would just travel around the city, filming without any permits. They loved just dressing up and creating, having fun and making fun music and videos.

[@_caustics_]

When someone says “just have fun with it”. That’s the Beastie Boys.

[@DellyDoo]

Anyone else hurling hearing Kid Rock and Beastie Boys being said in the same sentence? Sabatoge...one of my favs (most people's actually). Nice reaction.

[@danbardos3498]

During their live shows they used to drag out the drop for what felt like 5 mins. It was epic. Great band. They had a feel for the audience.

[@quilodesign]

Man, I love your reaction to Beastie Boys videos, my favourite group of all time. The story of this song is.....they had it as an instrumental for ages and ages and they could never nail the lyrics no matter how they tried. Then right at the end before I think the song went onto the album Ill Communication Ad Rock locked himself away and wrote then screamed the lyrics which made up Sabotage. Peace

[@MrGary10k]

These guys created a genre all there own back in the day. Much respect for you taking the time to listen. 3 MC's and one DJ for life! It's what hip hop should be. I'm a guitarist. I like rock and roll, but growing up these guys just kept creating and I loved it. Keep it up Brother!

[@ΜαρίαΜπ-η8φ]

This clip is a direct houmorrous reference to Clint Eastwood and his 70's classic tv series"Calachan".after that show a new genre of cop series was born and this is their praise to that golden era of tv.yoy surely have seen bits of those shows you not that young..:) i'm not even American and i know this.and please dont even mention again kid rock.he surely, compared to them,lacks one thing:talent.

[@yankeerepairs]

So the Beastie Boys imprint and impressions and influences were felt all across Hip Hop, the way DJ's sampled and mixed, as well as influenced bands like kid rock, rage against The machine, prodigy, Eminem, 311, Linkin Park, Beck, etc.... True pioneers Legends innovators and icons. And obviously they're B Movie videos, we're huge success in the heydays of MTV... As well as their fashion... Promoting Fila and volkswagen, not Nike and mercedes, they just had a unique way about how they did everything... Maybe you can react to some of their absolute classics on the Paul's Boutique album... Car thief, hey ladies, shake your rump, Shadrach... also be sure to check out root down, past the mic, skills to pay the bills, finger licking good, sure shot, too many rappers featuring Nas... it's such a wonderful rabbit hole, hopefully you continue down it .... RIP MCA

[@RyanTravis23]

If you ever want to see them playing live in rock band style check out Sabotage on Letterman.

[@davidsapir3764]

Dude your reaction video was so cool to watch. I'm in my 50's, and when I first heard the Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right To Party" in my teens I thought their music was straight up dumb. I wasn't into hip hop, I was all about alternative stuff like The Cure and The Pixies and Jane's Addiction and Nine Inch Nails. But when I first heard the Beastie's "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" albums I was blown away by everything about their style and sound. Right around that time I heard Eric B and Rakim's "Know The Ledge" for the first time too and wow did that track hit me hard. Still listen to it on a regular to this day! Peace!

[@gregstivers8959]

[@akirytkonen2380]

They played the guitar, bass the drums. Like in so many tracks on all of their records.

[@holy_braille]

To your question about who pioneered this sound... for me, the Beasties showed everyone it's possible and Rage brought it to its logical conclusion. At they're core the Beasties are like the Beatles. You can give them any instruments you want; they'll make an album with it. Wait until one of us convinces you to go down the Rage rabbit hole. Their guitarist just said "f*** it" one day, "I'm the DJ." (edited for a bad verb)

[@fiverx2159]

The Beasties are about as OG as it gets kid rock is some shit smeared on the bottom a shoe

It also sounds like a group call 311 it was a rock wrap tape band they were pretty dope you should check them out to I think they were inspired by beastie boys because it definitely sounds like it

[@skinnybuddha74]

I believe this song came out 2 or 3 years before 311's first single "Down" so yeah you're probably right.

[@ingabrod8494]

So excited! This is arguably the BB's best song.

[@twillymantheoneandonly5587]

The Beastie Boys started as a new york hardcore band in the early 80s. Because they were exposed to so much music culture in New York, they put a lot of different things in their performances. Hip hop and rap wasn't a break through music genre at the time. DJs, break dance, graffiti art and rappers were heard and seen on the streets live or mix tapes only. The Beastie Boys began rapping in between songs during hardcore shows. Hardcore started fading the sametime hip hop started to break into the mainstream. Def Jams was created and the Beastie Boys found their sound. They opened for Run DMC, hung out with Rick Rubin and dropped an album, becoming one of the pioneers of hip hop. The Beasties respected the roots, giving them real credibility and respect from the hip hop community.

[@ceresa21]

anything from ill communication is amazing. one of the most innovative albums ever. jam style rap with instrumentals. guest by Q-Tip. guest musicians. 70s themed. including lyrics. MCA really came into his own as a bass player. Mike D on trap kit was much improved too.

[@skinnybuddha74]

This song came out 5 years before Kid Rock's first single, so yes I would have to say he was probably inspired by it!

[@timmoose33]

Actually this came out like 4 years after Kid Rocks first single. Check out yodeling in the valley. That was actually his first single

[@brianbarnett1004]

Kid Rock was way after the Beastie Boys were well known.

Beastie Boys also brought in MANY bands from their area to some sort of national acclaim including the band Luscious Jackson from the 90s.

[@erickelly1323]

Yeah this was the Beasties. The whole premise of the video was it is a opening title for a cop show called "Sabotage" that was made in the 70's/80's. I do know that the Director Spike Jonze filmed some parts guerilla because they didn't get the permits to film, most notable the Bridge you see at 4:13. RIP MCA and John.

Kid Rock was in the hip hop scene as a DJ before he started all the rock stuff. Someone told him he wasnt going to go very far in the hip hop scene so he switched it to that rap rock style

[@jcadence4761]

probably already been answered, but Sabotage was released in '94, but they had similarly styled songs on earlier albums (Gratitude, etc). Kid Rock's breakthrough Batwitdaba came out in '98.
