The Beastie Boys are their own genre. They're one of those groups.

As someone in their 40s, who grew up on this, I'm astounded... astounded when you say. "What do you like about this?". Man.

[@MrMikewright1980]

Dudes, this was from 93-94. The only hip hop beats were boom-bap at that time. You gotta love it for it's old school charm and nostalgia!

[@DocRobert]

Yeah and the B Boys had the sickest beats, too.

[@mattphillips538]

Nah bra the future is way better than the past because the past is so YESTERDAY. Also it sounds just like the stuff it influenced. Only old.

Same time their beats were everywhere on Paul’s boutique this tune is just so funky you don’t want it to change imo rather just drive that beat in to the ground like funk music.

Top 10 90s album for sure. Who's with me?

[@dannwalker9865]

Adam Horovitz, AD Rock Adam Yauch, MCA Michael Diamond, Mike D This is one of my favorite songs of theirs 🎶🎵🤘🔥 Love the Beastie Boys so much!

[@665don667]

Rest in peace, Adam Yauch

[@KP-xn7bq]

ILL COMMUNICATION - such a dope album w a few trance inducing instrumentals as well. You need to react to this album. Thanks guys!

[@PeturHinrik]

Yup, one of my all-time fav albums. Top 3, even

[@billycooke6208]

i was listening to Ill Communication the whole summer of 94. while playing street fighter 2 turbo and mk2. them days

[@danielbullock1019]

Adam Yauch (MCA - rest in peace), Adam Horovitz (Adrock), and Michael Diamond (Mike D) are The Beastie Boys. They are the greatest rap group of ALL TIME! Thanks for reacting to this.

[@DocRobert]

Ok, y’all were bopping by the end. The boombap never hurt anybody. I think I read this song started with the Q-Tip freestyle and they built the track around it. Yeah.

[@JustNice980]

Oh hell yes! This is my favorite beastie boys song!

[@paulb808]

That song is the ultimate banger A Masterpiece. The definition of cool.

[@DocRobert]

The word “Yankee” has a fascinating and convoluted history, but its usage by southerners to describe people from the northwest was definitely derogatory, and dates from the civil war so… kinda got a racist origin story there too. Lol. Also, New York invented rap. I know people have their own regional and stylistic preferences, but loving hip hop and dissing New York is like loving rock and dissing the blues. People do it, but to me it just marks them as tourists. 😉 Love y’all.

[@GSDFanatic1]

I'm not a rap fan so I have no dog in this fight, but I'd rather hear something like this than whatever that nonsense in the video intro is.

[@optimoprimus4608]

The true definition of "Yankee" It's the same thing as a quicky, except you do it yourself. 👍

[@johng.4711]

Yankee comes from the original Dutch NY colonists referring to the new English as “John Cheese” because they loved cheese so much. John is “Yan” in Dutch. So it turned into Yan Cheese then into Yankees.

[@sallyh5413]

RESPECT

[@tempsitch5632]

Except in Europe and many other parts of the world where they refer to all americans as “yankees”.

[@jacktupp4358]

This is Gold! Q-Tip and Beastie Boys... 2000 years from now I hope they dig this record up... because this is historic!

[@SuperDaveSo]

I just about shit myself when this song/album came out. Tribe and Beasties are by far my favourite groups of all genres, not just hip hop. They promoted postivity (Beasties had to mature a bit to get there, but they did), they let their DJ's shine which is something that hip hop lost over the years. They lasted longer than most hip hop groups do, Hell, the only thing that stopped the Beastie Boys was the death of MCA, and I like to think that if Phife hadn't passed Tribe would have been able to hold things together to keep making great relevant music. To me, the Beasties biggest downfall was not being relatable to mainstream hip hop fans. They generally never rapped about street life, and all the things that have moved to the forefront of what is now popular in hip hop. And I'm OK with that. The Beastie Boys will forever be that much loved band by those with an open mind, and respected by those who really know music.

[@dan1648]

Both are 2 of my favorites & I was able to see them together at the Former Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, Illinois (now All-State Arena), Great Concert

[@laupstad]

Did this song always include Q-Tip? I seem to recall a "Get it together" very different from this being played on the radio. Not this beat and not with Q-Tip. This version was on the single but as one of 3-4 remixes. I might be misremembering things though. I was very young when this came out.

[@SuperDaveSo]

@@laupstad this is the album version.... only version I've ever heard... but then again, I haven't gone digging for any remixes... and honestly if Tip ain't on it, I'm probably not interested.

[@laupstad]

@@SuperDaveSo Agreed. If it isn't this version it wont be as good. Idc who did the mix. I'm probably misremembering things. My recollection is that it first came out with a more "traditional" Beastie Boys sound than this. Closer to their 80's punk/rap/transitional stuff. I'm probably just mixing things up. My first experience with this song is from the single which had a couple of terrible mixes on it.

[@ilikecheese1970]

In my Mt. Rushmore of Beastie songs. For me a perfect fusion of Tribe and Beasties. Love it when Tip is cracking up to MCA saying "Yo Tip what's up with the boots on your feet".

[@albreezy26]

This is arguably their most "hip hop" song and it's a heater. There's so much slander on the beastie boys now that hip hop has come so far but without these guys so many other groups and bands would not have started. Also I think segregating rap music by territory is wack but that's a whole other can of beans. You either like it or you don't.

[@lindacoy7165]

LL Cool J and Chuck D inducted them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. LL said there would be no LL Cool J without the Beastie Boys. They have my eternal love.

[@105932197]

You have to do Three MCs and One DJ. Salute from Chile.

[@mpcollins1769]

Story behind this song is q-tip was hanging out at there studio one day got him stoned and convinced him to freestyle in the booth . They built the entire song around his freestyle

[@metheus108]

I think this was right around the time Ad-Rock started dating Ione Skye (Ad-Rock down with the Ione) so I think Q tip was inspired on that theme too

[@sallyh5413]

they ate shrooms that day in the studio. ✌️

[@lindacoy7165]

“So What’Cha Want” is the best Beastie Boys song to me. It has the classic Mike D phrase “Like a long, leaner, Vincent the Cleaner, I’m the illest motherf***er from here to Gardena”. And “Intergalactic” has the MCA phrase “If you try to knock me, you’ll get mocked, I’ll stir fry you in my wok.” They put you on notice and make you laugh. ❤️

[@DocRobert]

Hells yeh. I also always liked: “But for now, I’d like to ask you how / You like the feel of the bass in your face in the crowd” from Pass The Mic.

[@SuperDaveSo]

As much as I enjoy that So What'cha Want, I don't think it's a good showcase of their talents. There's virtually no variation to the music. They don't really showcase their DJ like they do in other songs, and they don't pass the mic mid-verse, and mid-sentence like they do in other songs.

[@SuperDaveSo]

@@DocRobert Pass The Mic might just be my favourite song from them. The beat is hard, it mixes in some rock with the guitar... it has a couple change ups in beat. In the last verse they go old school style with their rapping. I think the only song that comes close to it for me is Shake Your Rump.

[@EmmAPestilenciA]

Mca's best verse is "I keep my underwear up with a piece of elastic, I got this bullshit mic that's made outta plastic" 😂

[@mikenguyen4855]

No Sleep Till Brooklyn

[@AnderClaw]

Always loved this song off the Ill communication Album.. Intergalactic from the Hello Nasty Album is another one I like

[@Lutefisk_Fettuccini]

I’m from Seattle and back in, I believe it was ‘97, A Tribe Called Quest opened up for the Beastie Boys at Key Arena, and I know the group I was with weren’t the only ones who wanted Q-Tip to come out and do this song with them but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. It was still a great show.

[@flyingardilla143]

Another Q-tip feature you should check out is Deee-Lite Groove is in the Heart

[@metheus108]

People dont realize how big a producer Q-Tip was back in the day

[@Goryglory0209]

Listening in 2024 and it's like recorded yesterday

[@Arsolon618]

To me there's nothing like the mood of a good boom bap beat, especially for some hardcore verses.

[@jangles1839]

Yeah man..... you just can't go wrong with a good ole boom bap! 💙🤘🏼

[@dudushe]

Like old school battle rap. This can't be beat.

[@trenchy1990]

Maybe something different from Beastie Boys would be good like 'Gratitude' or 'Something's Gotta Give'. But whatever is picked, I'll always be down for.

[@jamesoblivion]

Without New York, there would be no hip-hop. Period.

[@bromanvt]

Gives me college dorm room party flashbacks, love it

[@metalguru85]

😂 freestyle at the end. The late 90's version of Beastie Boys was more my thing but still enjoyed this.

[@Lnch4ALion]

This was 90's beastie boys. Recorded in 93. Released in 94

[@saratonin9674]

I'm embarrassed for them that these two have never heard this song lol

[@cginsane22]

That "see what's happening" ad lib part/sample is used in a Stone Sour song called 'Omega'. At least I think it sounds very similar.

[@SeditiousJerk]

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but I am about 98% sure that I remember reading that all of Q-Tip's parts were freestyled. They were messing around in the studio, the beat for this song was played, Q-Tip started playing around and throwing stuff out and they made a song around it. You can kind of tell in several places because the lyrics are pretty much nonsense and there's no real premise to the song, but it's still pretty effing incredible if you ask me.

[@amberhoward7807]

I love how they always used samples from other music. After they popped on the scene they got really serious about copyright... But they did it so good!

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

Ma Bell was the only phone company back in the day. Finally the government broke up the monopoly and you now have all those phone companies. That's why Ma Bell was the ill communication.

[@amberhoward7807]

I just want a whole ass video of you guys freestyle with each other. That was fun!

[@earthboundmother205]

I’m about to get it together right now!

[@NotBenCoultry]

This is my favorite from them but the whole album is like living in 1997 for me, Nas - It Was Written, too. Course I only live a couple hours North of the city so I was born into it loving the Beastie Boys. If you have a system, the break at 8:00 will shake your car apart btw. 10:51 - gettin into Bone Thugs territory there. If you don't know the "E 1999 Eternal" album you're gonna need to take a day with it lmao

[@NotBenCoultry]

"go and clean your legs" haha got some old school silliness going on, you should record it!

[@mikefetterman6782]

They tried to get Qtip into the studio for weeks. He was in a club one night, they wrangled him in and they recorded this o e night. The beasties always record face to face, at the same time.

[@gabrielsalyer3271]

Q tip freestyled his verse for this and the Beastie boys wrote around that and made this masterpiece

[@justinatest9456]

Check Your Head and Ill Communication are peak Beastie Boys. Pure style.

[@DanHintz]

paul's boutique is their clear apex in my opinion.

[@thepseudomasterchef7238]

​@@DanHintz100% Car thief will go down as the soundtrack to my teenage years

[@DanHintz]

you will find that the beastie boys have the most diverse and imaginative and consistently high quality beats in the game--and they make their own beats, no lazy pre-sets like much of today's bullshit. only the bomb squad (public enemy's production team) and the dust brothers are comparable. keep going, and like everyone else is probably saying, focus on the absolutely crucial paul's boutique album until you get up to speed on their vast catalog.

[@jessicaadams1479]

Love the reaction! The Beastie Boys are iconic. You guys should check out 3 MC’s and 1 DJ, the video was shot live, 1 take. Mix Master Mike (DJ) is insane!!

[@kristiejacobs7891]

I have a suggestion for a reaction. The song more human than human

[@KenBober]

I just heard megadeth well be back on the way into work today and my right foot became very heavy! Guys you HAVE to react to that song!!!!!!!

[@jyriii]

seeing you two vibe to this makes it even better somehow lmao

[@belindakajuk7012]

Get it together is an amazing song. Listen to more beasties.....they are amazing

[@Demane69]

A B-side track, but I feel the essence of their personal styles is reflected in Professor Booty. I highly recommend it, and it contains MCA's response to a personal beef with 3rd Base (likely his sickest verses).

[@Nebuloid1]

Still to this day always say "oh my god" whenever a phone rings.

[@elizabethdemerie13]

NY girl right here ya can call me a yankee no worries lol And Beastie Boys are one of the best in my opinion ❤

[@toddkelly5985]

I mean they started rapping in 1983 with the beginning of Def Jam, and still to this day I don’t think there has been able to top their original samples or beats. That’s why people started calling them the Beat-sie boys. Eminems album cover for kamakazzi is the beasties 1st album cover. When they picked their instruments back up, they still kept it hip hop. They grew up in New York during the time of punk and hip hop scene blowing up

[@claudiavalentijn1457]

Great reaction, thanks!

[@heathcornbeef]

Kia ora hello cuzzies from Aotearoa new zealand hay the first time i saw THE BEASTIE BOY'S WAS HERE IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND IN AUCKLAND AT THE POWER STATION 1100 CAPACITY CLUB IN OCTOBER 1992 THEY DID A SHORT HARDCORE SET BEFORE HITTING US WITH THEIR INSANE BEATS THAT WAS AN EPIC SHOW AND THE NEXT NIGHT AT THE SAME VENUE L7 with Kiwi support BAND HEAD LIKE A HOLE WHO BY THE WAY HAS THE SAME BASS PLAYER AS THE CITY NEWTON BOMBERS song to check out is LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR THE NEW YEAR 😜 live at GALATOS

[@mikefetterman6782]

Adam Horowich, Adam Yauch and Michael Diamond. John Berry left the band years before they made any recordings. Since 1982 It has been Ad Rock, MCA, and MIke D.

[@mikefetterman6782]

They were a punk band when they were 13-15 years old. That is where John Berry was part of the band. Adam Horowitz (AdRock) started in his place. They discovered LL Cool J, and toured with Run DMC, Public Enemy, and helped Rick Rubin get Def Jam records started with Russel Simmons. They had the 1st rap album that went to #1 on the charts and took rap from the East boroughs of New York and into Manhattan and the entire shocked white America. Rap was floundering in popularity until the Beasties.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The Beasties insist on recording ALL AT THE SAME TIME, other than an overdub, they all record at the same time, not piece by piece or person by person. They write their own stuff individually but record all in one room, together IN FLOW.

[@heyskipj]

Thanks for giving Beasties another spin. I love the Beasties for some of the same reasons Hollywood doesn't, but I respect the POV. Public Enemy

[@jamesoblivion]

John Berry left the band before they started rapping. Adam Yauch was MCA (RIP)...Ad-Rock is Adam Horovitz.
