Beastie Boys- So Watcha Want Reaction!

[@Pixelina75]

Beastie Boys are Hip Hop ROYALTY! ROY-AL-TY! 👑👑👑 For real yo, loads of hip hop/rap artists wouldn't even exist today if it weren't for the Beastie Boys....FACTS!

[@paulamoya7956]

Word.

[@19775021]

Fact checked, True.

[@elizabethirving9873]

Even Eminem says they were one of his influences. Their are many to react too. I'd love to see you react to Intergalactic

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

First generation Def Jam artists. They helped start the whole thing!

[@kennethsmith6367]

They are first generation, but hip hop wouldn’t exist without them ? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🥲😭

[@PixelPro-4000]

The Beastie Boys put out their first album in 1986, and released albums through 2011. They went platinum, double platinum, triple platinum, and even diamond. Never heard of the Beastie Boys? That's like people familiar with Rock saying they never heard of Led Leppelin or the Beatles. The Beastie Boys back in the day opened for Run-DMC. A few years later, Public Enemy opened for the Beastie Boys. They are in the rock and roll hall of fame. Eminem's Kamikaze cover was a tribute to the cover of the Beastie Boys first album 'License to Ill'. You MUST watch the video to 'Intergalactic' and '3 MCs and 1 DJ'. Their discography is so large, you can listen to dozens of their songs before you find one you don't really like.

[@byHexted]

There’s a few others but not a lot of rappers/rap groups have been able to span that long of a time span and not get corny or run out of ideas, I mean obviously they weren’t at the height of their career or anything in the late 2000s but their last album is pretty dope to me and the only other rappers I can think of who’ve been able to stay consistent for that long are DOOM, Ghostface, Kool G Rap and Scarface. You could count Jay and Masta Ace and probably other people in forgetting but those four have had at least one great album in every decade imo

[@Christatum411]

Also were very instrumental in helping LL Cool J blow up. Ad Rock got Rick Rubin to listen to LL`s demo

[@quasiscorner2589]

1st rap album to reach #1 on billboard

[@sst3d]

Preach

[@thomassullivan1207]

Also check out "An Open Letter to NYC"

[@hays9008]

Beastie Boys have sold 20 million records in the United States and seven platinum-selling albums from 1986 to 2004.

[@SirManfly]

"I never heard of The Beastie Boys"....yikes!!

[@jessicacooper5622]

You have to do 3 MC’s and one DJ, Paul Revere or anything off the License to ILL album! Beastie Boys are legendary!

[@AbeWiessman]

YES!!!

[@hairlessharescrambler56]

🤘

[@staceycall3108]

I second that!!!

[@zzbudzz]

I like to listen to Paul Revere in a car with some 12''s ...love the bass in that sound.

[@sretePtraB]

Licence to ill, is a masterpiece. Brass Monkey, slow ride....

[@Meyzen76]

“Never heard of the Beastie Boys.” That’s crazy. Mind.......BLOWN!!!! 🤯 Pioneers of Hip Hop.

[@10072018]

Maybe it's cause I'm old as hell but it blows my mind how many of these young guys have never heard of the Beastie Boys. Makes me wonder how many other hip hop legends from the 80s and 90s they've never heard.

[@echopryme]

I will argue that this MAY be the best flow on a beat ever made. Its seamless and practiced to the point of ART. Its that "OLD School" style, that when done right CANNOT be touched!

[@thomassullivan1207]

It's crazy to me that anyone who considers themselves true hip hop fans hasn't heard of the Beastie Boys. True Rap/Hop Hop Royalty in every sense of the word. Without Beastie Boys there wouldn't be LL Cool J. Do "An Open Letter to NYC" It's one of their best yet most overlooked songs.

[@DougP78]

It also seems unbelievable to me but not entirely improbable that newer generations coming up haven't heard of them. In a way that makes reaction videos like this even more enjoyable. Seeing Beastie Boys for the first time, never heard of them, reacting to one of their songs almost 30 years after it came out..!?! YO and loving it?!? That tells me I'm not just stilling loving these guys after all these years cause nostalgia. They've always been and always will be legit, badass rap artists.

[@angelaa6498]

Yes, Definitely MORE Beastie Boys. They've got tons of great songs you'll dig

[@Mike-kv5pl]

The Beasties Boys were a legendary group. They go way back to the golden age of hip-hop. They had an incredible (and long) career. They have a lot of good songs. Here are a few to check out: INTERGALACTIC. HEY LADIES. SHAKE YOUR RUMP. PROFESSOR BOOTY.

[@Christatum411]

Root Down is my favorite

[@ladyruby684]

Used to skate to this back in the day. Great nostalgia.. and Im sure my neighbors appreciate it, too. 😉

[@iamangee]

Beastie Boys helped propel rap into the mainstream. They were part of Def Jam with LL Cool J and a Public Enemy, as well as the label affiliated Run DMC. Their Licensed to Ill album was a pivotal moment in hip hop history. Eminem’s Kamikaze album cover pays tribute to the album and Beastie Boys are one of the few hip hop artists inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. They were joined this year by label mate LL Cool J and Public Enemy a few years ago.

[@paulb808]

Omg, guys, Beastie Boys.... you wont be disappointed, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends! You'll shit your pants listening to Licensed to Ill and Paul's Boutique and seeing how influential these guys are!

[@carollittle1059]

Need more Beastie Boys!!

[@sandyleewhite]

Released. 1991 - US. Vinyl -. So hard to believe this is *33 years old!!!* 😊

[@libbylulu148]

Oh my goodness you need to react to more Beastie Boys. They are amazing. Brass Monkey, Paul Revere, Sabotage.

[@gracehall6145]

Their album Pauls Boutique is one of the greatest hip hop albums ever. Perfect listen from beginning to end. Check it out!

[@Vadershake]

React to Beastie Boys - Get it Together (Feat: Q-Tip), 3 MC's 1 DJ, or Car Thief they are Hip-Hop Royalty, don't get caught up in their radio popular stuff only.

[@AbeWiessman]

I'm SO excited that ya'll found the Beastie Boys! They came out when I was in high school & they are still on my playlist today. "Paul Revere" & "The New Style" should be next on the list. 3 MCs & 1 DJ is a must as well. MORE BEASTIE BOYS PLEASE!

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

Hey Christina! I’m a few years older than you and the Beastie Boys came out when I was in my mid 20s. I was a heavy metal guy and I NEVER listened to them! I knew they sang ‘fight for your right to party’ and that was about it. It stayed that way until about a year ago now that I’m in my late 50s. They are so amazing! I can’t believe I denied myself the enjoyment I get from listening to their music for so long. I’m still discovering songs.

[@AbeWiessman]

@@thewiseoldherper7047 it's never too late to embrace the Beastie Boys! Lol Be sure to check out the entire License to Ill album, the earlier stuff was always my favorite. Probably because it reminds me of all the fun I had in high school (class of 1990)

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Beasties came out in 1986 and basically revolutionized hip hop/ rock in a good way. You have a long, awesome road to travel with these guys and I’m going to enjoy watching you two do it! 😁

[@melissamedrano4959]

More beastie boys reactions! They'll blow your mind!

[@TerriLynn714]

Stank face is always good . Great reaction guy's

[@robotoad72]

SUBSCRIBED! You just witnessed for the first time one of THEE most influential hip-hop pioneers of ALL TIME!....And I'm looking forward to watching your continued awakening to their genius! Gotta do these in no particular order but starting with 3 MCs and 1 DJ...and then any of the following: Paul Revere Intergalactic Posse in Effect Sure Shot Car Thief Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun Get it Together (featuring Qtip) There's so much more....Enjoy the ride!!

[@archulettadave]

In all the reactions to the Beastie Boys, I never hear people talking about how they played their own instruments and sampled themselves, which was really cool and especially fun seeing them live back in the 1990s.

[@ssacra22]

Saw them live in Boston. They were so king, so dope and so top shelf, you know who opened for THEM? Public Enemy. Dopest show ever!

[@adnap]

In addition to spitting bars and dropping knowledge, each member of the Beastie Boys played an instrument. You hear and see bass guitar, electric guitar, drums, piano and an organ, thats them. On the Check Your Head album, you never knew what you were going to get because they bounce from being Hip-Hop to Punk Rock, to Jazz. They were the epitome of true talent. Most Hip-Hop artists could never.

[@rfhudy]

Perfect description!

[@mauriciokrebs2913]

i think here the guitar is a hendrix sample, no?

[@tenyciashepherd951]

Please, please, please do more Beastie Boys!! It really doesn’t matter which songs you do, they’re all great!!

[@russelbarnes7235]

I have to subscribe so I can follow your Beastie Boys journey! That's a ride you are going to enjoy tremendously, and I'm gonna enjoy watching that happen. Keep doing what you do. Peace

[@jasonboczko4392]

Beastie boys are thee Pinnicle forfront roots of hip-hop/Rap/Funk/Rock/punk new age that IMO were a one of a kind talented unique artists. Created a Swiss army knife type hybrid band. Cooler then cool. I find myself appreciating them more now then ever before. Grew up loving albums, Ill communication And licence to Ill and my personal favorite check your head. Takes me back to my youth of fiery !!

[@clarissagarza7284]

I'm here for this!!!!! Beastie Boys!!!!!

[@jamiefranks3174]

My brother chris and i were lucky enough to see the beasties in 87!They were amazing!!!!

[@Arctica88]

I'm flippin out! I can't believe this song came out 30 years ago!!! I feel like it was yesterday the first time I heard these guys...

[@aLittleBitter.]

Hip Hop Royalty, No doubt it my mind ,you guys would really dig Three Mc's & one DJ, Intergalactic, Root Down, The Skills to pay the bills live in Amsterdam. So many more. Like most people posting here. These guys are true pioneers of hip hop culture, when talent was a prerequisite for success. Many of their songs represent their true gratitude towards hip hop pioneers who came before them. Really hope you guys delve into this once in a lifetime, special group of what TRUE MC"s represented back in the day.

[@KristiLEvans1]

Never heard of the Beastie Boys? Awesome. Very interested to see this reaction. They started as a hard punk band in Brooklyn and were turned on to rap in 1981. Been around a minute.

[@Tommy_Irish]

Absolutely SHOCKED that you never heard of them??? Biggest rap group of the 1980's.

[@sashabertold3731]

Oh the legendary Beastie Boys. Do I miss the 80s & 90s. Watcha want came out in early '92. I was 13 at the time and hit so hard with my train crash puberty.

[@laraismyname821]

This is old school hip hop

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

I saw Th Beastie Bus in Detroit New Years Eve 1991, one fo the best shows I’ve ever seen. Somethings got to give us amazing .

[@curlygal7315]

Just a little factoid for ya about the Beadtie Boys, they were actually a punk band before they got into rap/hip hop. They really were the first ones to combine elements of both together and made it sound bitchin’. They are major influences of a ton in HipHop including Em’. They are a joy to discover! We were still bumpin them hard in the 90’s! They were out in the 80’s alongside Run DMC.

[@johntutela5816]

I saw the Beastie Boys in the early 80’s open for Madonna at Madison Square Garden

[@josephramirez3688]

Yall gonna get a lot of views for this one cause Beastie Boys fans check out all these reaction videos. I'm sure we all feel the same. You're not a real fan of Hip Hop if you don't know the Beastie Boys. They are straight OGs of Hip Hop. Hope yall do more of their videos.

[@kobrien2424]

Keep reacting to Beastie Boys!! True pioneers and rap royalty!!

[@SleepingTiger-vlog]

Beastie Boys just brought me to your channel for the first time. Songs: "3 MCs and 1 DJ" and "Intergalactic" are great ones to react to next. Both very different than each other though.

[@steviekc9057]

You know a group is fire when everyone argues about which album is the best one. (The correct answer is Check your Head 😄) subscribed in the hopes that I see more Beastie Boys

[@dmanorozco]

3 MC’s and One DJ video is a MUST!!!!

[@mrblonde432]

They need to do a basketball reaction next: "Who is this Michael Jordan you speak of?"

[@dawnsmith2436]

You have to listen to intergalactic 🎶🎤

[@inthe8thhouse20]

Must listen to their song High Planes Drifter

[@bh-zj4yt]

Good job guys…so much more Beasties for you to enjoy

[@wsn0009]

Beastie Boys are legends! Definitely check out 'Shake Your Rump' & 'Intergalactic' 👍

[@JamiHeart]

These guys got LL Cool jay his shot. They are pioneers of hip hop. Also, those are actual instruments used for the song, no electronics. These guys changed my generation's lives. They came out in 1986 when I was 13. This is a rabbit hole you guys definitely will enjoy sliding down. Check out Paul Revere, The New Style, Sure Shot, Shake Your Rump, intergalactic, Sabotage and 3 MC's and 1 DJ. 3 MC's and 1 DJ was done live, in one take. It will blow your mind.

[@amandaruth9566]

Baby boys, it’s time you experienced these legends. Go in threw the albums in chronological order, and hear how these guys developed and innovated. They are Princes of Hip Hop

[@alexiscausleywaabagiizhigo8606]

LEGENDS. License to Ill reminds me of high school - played this CD in the caf for so much of grade 9. lol.

[@markosborne6063]

My fav from the boys. Also, check out 'Shake Your Rump' if you decide to do another reaction on the group.

[@SevenEternities]

🔥

[@joegiovannitti8631]

Yo you guys need to stay up on the beasties man I've been listening since the 80s when Def came out my first tape was Run DMC raising hell and Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill and third grade. I'm 44 and I still love it every day

[@Sl0thL0veChunk]

Beastie Boys are great, I think you guys are gonna enjoy the ride. They are very old school hip hop. Started as a rock group, but with a passion for hip hop, so they changed their act to hip hop and started making waves, then they brought rock influence back into their style. These dudes helped get LL Cool J signed. They're a great group, though. Worth diving into if you like the old school hip hop sound. All-time biggest tracks you'll wanna check out (to name just a few) are probably "Three MCs and One DJ" and "Intergalactic" and "Sure Shot" and "Shake Your Rump". If you wanna check out a more obscure but very interesting track, they did a collab track with Q Tip from A Tribe Called Quest once.

[@natalijaparadiso7566]

Oh yeah another great band ...got to react you got to" fight " for your right you will enjoy that one too ......great reaction fellas ❤

And a must watch. All Beastie Boys official videos are a valuable part of the experience.

[@domenicgalata1470]

The bass drums and guitar was the BBoys playing. Awesome. Great live as well.

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

The Move, Limerick File, Root Down, Intergalactic, 3 MC's and 1 DJ, Professor Booty (diss track), High Plains Drifter, Shadrach, Paul Revere and the original version of Body Movin, Putting Shame in your game are all dope ones you should react to. Folks will recommend Hey Ladies and Brass Monkey etc... they're fun lyrically but the beats are meh. The best Beastie Boys songs have dope beats and lyrics. So, I gave you a few that I honestly think you'd like more than some of the ones probably recommended to you. Because for some reason, folks love to post the same meh mainstream songs as if Beastie Boys don't have a huge catalogue of "hidden" gems. #AlwaysWearHeadphones 💯

[@anthonyv6962]

I think it's you always requesting Limerick File. I agree.

[@steviekc9057]

Professor Booty is my all time fave and I get so excited whenever I see it mentioned thank you ☺️

Never heard of Beastie Boys?! Active like for a minute yeah…when they sold 20 million records, went Platinum 7 times and have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They were together since 1978 but active as the Beastie Boys from 1981-2012. There was no Rap Industry when they started. Do you understand? It was Hip hop only. They come from Punk music but incorporated metal, Latin, hip hop, etc. and created ALL their music and beats. This is the sound of New York City your hearing.Real artist and Legends! Still listening 37 years later! And You been listening to music for like 3 min 38 seconds.

[@pjsnickers76]

The Beastie Boys where one of the pioneers at the forefront on Hip Hop. One of the first signed by Def Jam. Straight outta Brooklyn. Legends

They are their own genre. And yep, they play the instruments too. They keys/piano stuff is usually Keyboard Money Mark.

Beastie Boys are one of the pillars upon which hip hop is built. Hit records in rap game since 1986. The last true hip hop albu, was their 2nd record pauls boutique. Bizmarkie had just been sued and samples got too expensive. so a traditional sample hip hop record was gone forever and Pauls boutiqe was last.

[@tempsitch5632]

Just to guide you - there’s nothing Rock about this. You can say, “this rocks” or “this is rocking” to describe how it makes ya feel, but there’s nothing about the song that would put it in the Rock category. It’s rap with a hip hop beat. You will discover other Beasties songs that are more rock, punk, funk, as well as their traditional old skool rap and new wave hiphop.

[@chris-julian5537]

Disagree. There’s definitely a rock element to this song.

Would also be cool to see you guys delve into my favorite Hip hop group of the 90's. The Geto Boys...specifically Gota Let Your Nuts hang ,Damn it feels good to be a gangster, & Mind playing tricks on me. Scarface is such an underrated MC.

[@vincentvancraig]

im a 48 year old idiot, but they def had some songs that were more rock than rap, but...this type of song to me def , in my opinion, is hip hop where the people in the group played their own instruments (in their case rock imstruments+ a turntable)...but i think that maybe explains the "combination of rock & hip hop" vibes they give off a lot of the time...great fvckin reaction, liked & subbed:)
