Beastie Boys HD : New 2015 Adrock Interview

[@rabmc]

They were always just guys, not gangsta, just themselves and with huge character, shy at times too but when they came together they where in sync and ground breaking, sabotage still blows my mind when I hear it.

[@fabiobalenzano6439]

and mostly, they were uber talented

[@DreDawg3000]

@@fabiobalenzano6439 Yep. They would have succeeded at anything they chose to do in life.

[@lennycarter7885]

He's the coolest person in the world.

[@Maliilse75]

And he has the sexiest voice.

[@fabiobalenzano6439]

and the nerdiest at the same time. Adrock is a legend

[@melaniecolgin3705]

Agreed. Magnificent man, true legend.

[@davidjames4521]

Weird thing about the beastie boys is they could all look like geography teachers.

[@hackenstring]

Now you mention it...

[@SM-qe4wd]

I've actually been super curious about this stuff because the beastie boys and ad rock hardly talked about school but its super cool how he detailed it out because it obviously had an effect on him!

[@halperntv3238]

Great interview with an amazing musician and really great guy #legend

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

Reporter- “Why did you drop out of college?” Ad Rock- “cos i wanted to watch all my children” 🤣

[@meee00555]

I love him.

[@davidmoody718]

You choose a soap opera over college that must have been a very educational episode of ALL MY CHILDREN. LOL

[@nicholaskilpatrick3516]

"Like that guy T, idk if you remember him" LMAO

[@julianmilnes9594]

Drop outs tend to be the most creative, they just can't stand formal education....like I couldn't

[@brooklynboiprod]

Julian Milnes So true. I'm the same way

[@thestr8person]

Yup! Me aswell, been to over 10 schools by age 15 so I formed a band! Pity it was so completely crap :( Oh well, I still write and study more than any college or university graduate I know of, and have a very high i.q. so i'm not that bothered, life is more fun as a drop out!

[@thestr8person]

I think we're right brain people!?! (If that's a real thing)

[@beeboy6967]

+Julian Milnes Yeah so true....life is learnt outside of school & not on paper ( anyway that's how I see it ) just off the subject.....I love how some musicians can't read sheet music but invent the best tunes.....Prince for example !

[@SteelyDanimal]

I knew a drop out. He dropped out of life eventually.

[@ylette]

Beastie Boys inspired me to be a drop out too.

[@joshuadbosker]

I loved all my children as well... lol... who remembers billy Clyde???? Trevor knew how to treat a lady..Hey doll!

[@54spatula]

Adrock IS cool

[@chop3625]

Adam always tells a good story, holds your attention unlike others.

[@ohreallyeliza]

Is there anyone better than King AdRock? Honestly, I don't think so.

[@jessicaweeks7246]

Tight to see The King AD Whammy still comin' with the smooth Some Ole' BS stories. He may be one of the best ConArtist Story tellers of all time. He throws in some truth, then always manages to get the tongue in cheek w/o most ppl havin' a clue. =* No online classes way back when Mrs. Horovitz was bustin' his balls about growin' up :)

[@abbyboyone]

yeah, caught that too. maybe he meant he was in line signing up for classes. most people dont know that all 3 beasties came from well to do families. esp. ad rock, he related to some composer.

[@SupahFans]

Good catch, he's likely joking about the soap opera since he was already a star by 19 but his online community college registration may have been truly in line bumping into friends. Life worked out well for Adrock regardless. Hopefully his sarcastic dry wit ages well without Yauch to bounce off of.

[@therealdjmarcus6620]

In line = online

[@pierrehollman4642]

I was a teenager in NYC in the 80s and met a girl on line then ... at the grocery store. But seriously, you had to literally get on a line to register for classes. NY grammar: I was awn line at the movies.

[@xtraflo]

If he came out with a Solo album, I'd definitely buy that!! Don't care how old he is..

[@amazinfrenchfry9649]

why should age matter?

[@jfalconredskins]

Yo I would totally buy that shit. Wouldn't it be cool if he came out with a solo album, just hip hop rapping, and doing it mostly in his old-school license to ill voice and style?

[@michaeldagger2719]

He kinda already did ....bs 2000..

[@chop3625]

Think it all worked out.

[@DeeeAndrea]

Wait a minute am I the only one that caught this???? He says back in the 80s he was “online”, signing up for classes.....??? Maybe he means the schools computer system (intranet, whatever you wanna call it I just thought that was a little weird for the mid to late 80s for him to be talking about being online.......hmmmmm)

[@BucaneerBri]

It’s ok to drop out if your driven to something but you must be super driven

[@DanHintz]

this seems like an excerpt from a longer interview--where is the rest?

[@davem62290]

Man !! Sweet!! Best Selling HIPHOP EVER!! Man it was fun too!! RULES!! BOYYYYYYYY!!

[@remo2196]

Dave Martin not the best selling

[@NeechOne]

T? Sure, I know T. Nice guy.

[@Alanthewhite]

Okay did I hear that correctly, did he just say he dropped out of college just because he wanted to watch a fucking TV show

[@nicodemus369]

Adam, come-on (2:17). How were you “on-line” signing-up for classes... in the 80’s? ✌️🤓

[@pieceustogether]

Pretty sure he means he was quite literally standing in line to sign up for classes. How else would you run into someone while signing up for classes?

[@nicodemus369]

@@pieceustogether ... right? Maybe shuda watched twice.☹️

[@harleyrhodesbates]

@@pieceustogether Omg, thanks for clarifying. I was a bit confused as I actually thought he meant online as on the computer at that time in the 80s so I was lost there😆

[@damonesss]

I think RATM and the rest of Beastie boys do a collaboration!

[@thomasmarcoux9319]

Matt Buenaventura I don't think ratm are still toghether..

[@wkeil1981]

Those were my 2 favorites for a long time

[@Sashapaige73]

😘

[@evangoldstein7905]

I too dropped out of Brooklyn Tech 😆

[@evangoldstein7905]

And then ended up at City As

[@welcometothejungle8298]

MikeD Adrock Qtip MMM and sometimes Qbert

[@Significant7rapsongs]

Remember when we met in L.A. in 2016 and IQ and I where recording our new album Smart Asses and u invited me to the studio and i lost my phone and never made it. Hit me up @ facebook/significant7

[@Blisnut]

[@DavidWoroner]

I wanna play guitar for Adrock......... one fucking time doing Sabotage! Music has turned into pure bullshit now.

[@jamesbrooks4526]

Adam Yauch is dead long live MCA! RIP

[@Vickbabies]

[@EliezerMercado1975]

[@hideyoshinagachika6233]

[@Stunl3y]

[@lennycarter7885]
